"WE FIGHT ON FRIDAY NIGHT, MAGULL!" Did my first successful torso swap of a Mattel today. Bought an extra JBL just to do this since I had a DM Austin body floating around. This is definitely the torso I would have preferred, and I really like the result, although one of the sides doesn't go together all the way. That said, it left me with an extra JBL body, which I made use of: I'm not sure it's exactly accurate to any one attire of his cause I based it off a couple different figures I saw online for front and back. That said, I don't even have a head for it, so if somebody would like to buy themselves a skinny Scott Hall body, hit me up. This one is just in prototype stage. Raven actually did the torso swap on this one as it's a different Punk top on the legs of the SE Punk. I had planned to make a basic ECW-era Punk long before RSC's was announced so I figured I'd go with it anyway. Needs another lay of yellow at least and to fix up a few splotches as well as something for his tights. "His pants say OVER 9000 because... well, he likes to have fun!" Xavier Woods in the only attire he's worn on Raw. Again, this is kind of a prototype as I need to get better angles for the logo on top of that side of his tights. The other side says WOODS vertically. I acetoned off the chest hair attempt after I took the pic. I'm expecting an original JoMo head from a deal so I finished up Tyler Breeze's body. The silver pooled on his left knee so I need to fix that up still but I really like the way it turned out still purple but glittery.

The other side says WOODS vertically. I acetoned off the chest hair attempt after I took the pic. Haven't been around this forum in a while but your customs inspired me. I really like the ideas but the execution could use a little work. Thin out your paint a bit. The white on Hall's gear is a little chunky. White is a pain in the butt to use, you could probably use a couple more coats. The yellow on Punk's kickpads could use another coat and some cleaning up. Gray is a good base coat for colors like yellow & red. The black on Punk's pepsi tat could be thinner. I have some extra decals of Punker's tats I'd be willing to send ya. For lines like on Xavier's boots, any kind of tape can give you that crispness. For chest hair, look up dry brushing techniques & use a stiff brush. Dab away the excess with a paper towel and you're good to go. Slow down just a touch when working. Seems like you were in a rush. I never had this figure, so I'm not sure but could you take a Mattel Carlito and put the hair on your Woods? Wasn't sure if it was like Jakks where you can get the hair off fairly easy or not. Keep up the good work.

That Roode looks great but I think you may have to work on the head a bit more.

When I first made Muraco out of a Volkoff torso with Hillbilly Jim shoulders and arms Apocalypse and I wondered what would be the best torso for the Magnificent one. Then Mattel showed Brock and Apoc said he thought it would be perfect. But unfortunately I never got around to trying it because of two reason...First I didn't want to go through the hassle of removing the back tattoo, but more importantly I didn't have the waist & thighs to fit Brock's upper body. Then I saw the Bruno proto and was waiting to find him locally. Magnificent Muraco - Still need to swap out Brock forearms and add a lightning bolt to the back of the trunks. I wish I had thicker calves, but these will have to do for the correct boots. The more I looked at it the more I realized I wasn't happy with Funks calves...so I gave him McIntyre's. Now I just need to add the lightnig bolt, wrist tape and socks. Will do that all tomorrow.

guys who are good with this, or have done this: What formula(s) would be the most cost-effective, best looking, and or would be playable (No paint needed); hopefully all these criterias are met of these wrestlers El Generico Charlie Haas (preferrably in his tag team gear, cause of NewLegacyInc.) Sami Zayn Calgary Kid Wrestler Spider-Man Chavo Guerrero

You could paint it black I was saying. Also I'd make the figure before getting the mask as you'd could get the mask on the classifieds
