Does a toybiz Vampiro head need any modding? Yup it does. You have to cut off his neck around the jaw-line just like how Mattel heads are shaped. Then you've got to drill a hole so that the neck peg can fit. But after all that effort you can end up with this flawless erection:  |

Picked up an extra Elite 23 Undertaker today. I decided to attempt an Attitude Era inspired fixup. Its not 100% accurate but I think it looks cool. I thought about maybe adding the straps across his shirt and on his legs, but may not as if Mattel does an this era Taker I'd like to be able to easily convert this one to a gray glove Undertaker custom.   Comparison shot with regular Elite 23 Undertaker.  With Elite 8 Taker's entrance coat.  |

wow classicdas, you're knocking this stuff out of the park - Strike Force is amazing ~ now that you've done it, I totally see that Tito used to have that grinning teeth expression that the Pillman scan was given. And Barry looks phenomenal. Hey bandalero I'm really diggin all of those customs in your signature |

Dude, that Undertaker fix-up is pretty damn awesome. I might wind up doing the same thing.

You should try replace the elbow pads with the longer version too |

Both Strike Force and Whindam look great, Ruff Figures! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but, are the Road Warriors the only figures with the tall strapped boots? I want a pair handy to switch with the inaccurate boots Mattel gave the upcoming Billy Gunn figure, but the Road Warriors seem almost impossible to come by and the cheapest I have found them on eBay has been 40 bucks for Animal, which is WAY too much for a pair of boots. I'll echo this. Great work classicdas! Daniel, E24 Ziggler's boots will work for this. |

Ah, but, those are the exact boots MDT gave Billy Gunn, going by the preview pictures shown at the WWE Mattel Panel ar SDCC. and if you compare Ziggler's boots in real life to Gunn's, you'll see the latter wore a version that went much higher up his calves that the former's. It's a pretty small detail, but at the same time since the figure is bound to be pretty much perfect otherwise, it's gonna get on ny nerves and so I must fix it. lol. |

Maybe u can buy the road warriors figure, swap out the boots and relist them as is. Or u can take two pairs of zigglers boots and cut them up and glue them together as an extension, then sculpt some putty to make it as one. Or mod the long kickpads. (Bryan, hbk, ect) Depends on what parts u have in ur inventory. |

Hmm maybe you can make a custom pair from 2 sets of boots? |

Labeled101 & n2jib; thanks, guys! I'll try modding two pairs of boots into one, although the amount of effort and the window for failure that exists in doing something like that might just make ne willing to spend the extra cash on an Animal. If nothing else, I'm sure I can use the figure itself for another custom. Once again, thanks a bunch!

Why is no one worried that his tights said "Mr. ASS"... Seems to me we might get wwe 13 attire from smoking gunns.... |

Besides, not all his tights said Mr. Ass. He's had plenty of other iconic attires without Ass on it. I just hope he's wearing either yellow or, most preferably, green. |

You should try replace the elbow pads with the longer version too I was gonna use the longer elbow pads as Taker came with one. But I didnt have a spare one. So i swiped an elbow pad off of Flashback Edge, but it was the shorter kind. Taker looked odd with one long and one shorter elbow pad, so i just ended up using both of Flashback Edge's pads till I can find an extra long elbow pad. Same goes with the gloves. I used Ryback's hands, but hope to switch them for actual gloves when I get another pair of them. |

(Hopefully, it's not the lips attire like Jakks did in the BCA days with "Mr. BA" on the back, haha). Anywho, here's that Homicide I was working on earlier:  |
