What could you use to get rid of the silver from BOPPV and be able to keep the black I was able to remove the silver design using acetone and it didn't change the colour of the black tights, if that's what you were wondering.

Can anyone think of a recipe for a Reese figure from Ravens Flock?

Has anybody made a Jon Moxley custom/fix up? Pretty sure there's one about 3 pages back.

Here's a figure I had been hoping to make for a while. With B34 Ricardo coming in a trade, I felt the need to go ahead and do it: No paint just head swap. It sits a little low and the skin tone isn't exact but I don't need a perfect figure for my ring announcer.

Adam Cole. His wrist tape should probably be black but I don't care. Morrison head, Dibaise EG body and Skip Sheffield boots.

I've been working on some customs (nothing new or exciting to anyone), but, the truth is, I suck at painting. There is good news, though. I asked my wife to get more Goof Off when she went to the store, and came back with the household cleaner spray bottle version: www.goofoffproducts.com/http://goofoff.barradmin.com/product/heavy-duty-removerWell, because I suck at painting, I, of course, messed up. Without anything else in the house to clean up my mistake the next day (after the paint had dried) I sprayed the cleaner into a Dixie cup, soaked a Q-Tip, and went about carefully trying to take off my crappy paint without messing up the original paint apps. Since I suck at painting, I'm sure you've guessed that I also suck at removing paint carefully. My hand went over Rick Rude's eyebrow (Oh crap!) which, much to my surprise, still remained intact. Moral of the story: Turns out the less-strong household version of Goof Off is a good thing to keep around. It's strong enough to take off the paint you use, but not strong enough to take off the factory paint. So, for those of you that a prone to mistakes like I am, I implore you to go to Walmart and buy one. It's a life saver: www.wrigley.com/global/brands/life-savers.aspx(Sorry. Couldn't resist the bad joke.)

I think I'm finished with my Hardyz era Matt Hardy, I may repaint the hair (blonde streak and the hairline on the short bit as it looks like it's receding). The head looks big in the pics but in person it's fine! Skin tone on the neck was painted as Rey's tone is way too dark (the colour matches to the naked eye), fully painted the shirt too. I'll probably give the white belt another coat or two of white to make it nice and bright like the white on the boots. Outstanding! I love that figure.

Aside from a Dremel, are there any easy ways to make a head sit lower on the neck peg?

Aside from a Dremel, are there any easy ways to make a head sit lower on the neck peg? I've used an Xacto knife and carved out a TTL Vince head. Some different angles. So I don't see why it wouldn't work on a Mattel figure.

Aside from a Dremel, are there any easy ways to make a head sit lower on the neck peg? Absolutely, but it requires carving - I don't have a dremel so I actually do it with an xacto blade. In my experience with modding toybiz heads for Mattel neck pegs, I've realized that you really have to shave down the inside-back of the head as well as make more room under the jaw (so the figure can tilt it's head forward looking down). The more you shave off the better the articulation and the cleaner it sits on the neck. I literally use the appropriate bit-size and carefully drill a hole for the neck peg with a regular 12V drill and lots of patience. Take a look at both Sting and Luger in my sig (Dean did the Luger mod and I followed the same principle with the toybiz Sting head). They both sit a lot more flush and natural to the neck.
