Looks like It was left unhooked in the back. I kinda like it that way. Makes the vest look loose on him.
Hey Dean, did you repaint the neck on Ambrose or leave it Rey's color? It looks unpainted but because of the 5 o'clock shadow on the Ambrose head it looks like it blends in well. I could be wrong though. Either way, nice job!

Awesome stuff, Dean.
I went with the E1 MVP torso for Ambrose as opposed to the E24 Mysterio torso, because I wanted to try something different (also made an Ambrose with a painted Legends Funk torso), but I really like the way yours came out with the Rey torso swap- now I'm really digging that recipe. Seems to definitely be the way to go.
A lot less expensive to find an E24 Rey to use for the torso as opposed to an E1 MVP, too. Lol.

The Rey torso serves pretty well..no paint needed at all and it cleans the shelf warmer off some at the same time. Looks like It was left unhooked in the back. I kinda like it that way.

The 5'o clock blends in perfectly.

Awesome stuff Dean! I did the same to add the wristbands to Roman's arms. Really makes the figure perfect!

They leave a small gap around the wrist, but they aren't wide enough to slide up the arm. I think I like them more than how I would have liked them painted on.

Quick Punk headswap. New Super Strikers head on BOPPV WM29 body. As soon as I saw the stupid Super Strikers figure at TRU tonight I knew that's what I wanted to do. I think it looks 100x better and this is now my favorite Punk figure. i was thinking the same. Glad I got to see it before I bought the super strikers. Does the head have a ball joint also, so its just a very simple pop-n-swap On the elite body?. Looks great! EDIT: went to TRU today, bought the SS punk & did it. it works well, so i guess i answered my own question ha! thanks for the idea, MrPerfect25!

Completely inspired by Dean's yellow-tights Benoit some pages back - I had to get this iconic look myself. Only had time to snap one picture last night though, but if you've seen Dean's you've seen the better version of this (I'm too afraid to shorten the arms):

Btw, do you have any more pictures of your custom Vampiro? I want to make a similar one.

tagg: Those are the new Cena arms
GreyHaze: will take more pics of Vampiro but I screwed up Kofi's dreads (trimmed it a bit too short) and lost the long back piece of it. Will have to buy another cheap Kofi to scalp him and replace the dreads.

Heres the recipe for that Benoit if anyone needs it. RECIPE: Bone Crushing Action Benoit head. SCSA torso. Shortened CENA arms. Christian FB tights. SIN CARA calves painted yellow. Generic Black Boots. Best Decals in the World for the logos. Cut, Peel and Stick.

Anybody have a step by step tutorial on trimming Seth's vest on the Elite? Pics would be helpful as well.
Thanks.

Use an exacto knife to cut out the T-shirt from the mold. You'll want to take the vest off first and trim it while it's off the figure. Otherwise you will damage the torso/not get clean lines on the cut.

So most of you saw my Jeff 2 pages back, and now I finally got the final pieces I needed today, so I present to you, the Hardy Boyz. I stopped watching wrestling in the early 2000's, and the Hardy Boyz were huge then. Some of my favorite matches of the Attitude Era were the TLC matches with the Hardy Boys, Edge & Christian, and the Dudley Boys. I want to get a different head for Matt, but I had this one lying around, so I used it in the mean time. It's actually one of my least favorite scans Mattel has done.
