Anyone remember the custom of Rock from Fast Six? Who made it? I'm looking to ask what knee and elbow pads the person used. Yea it was Hulkamania 4 Life, and the knee pads/belt/watch are from the Expendables figures. Gunner in particular i believe.

Here's what I did tonight... Randy Orton - Basic Summerslam Orton head and arms swap, with shoulder tattoo removal CM Punk BOPPV (Heyman) - Small knee pads and head swap with the new strikers Punk CM Punk BOPPV (Ricardo) - Small knee pads and head swap with Flexforce Punk E24 Ryback - Red small knee pads and black elbow pads (not sure if I like this combo, may switch it back up) E22 Rock - White E25 Brodus Clay Pants, and E16 Rock tank top RSE Brock Lesnar - Black E16 Rock Pants, and elbow pads (these were extremely hard to get on...) E25 Dean Ambrose - Vest removal from Seth Rollins, and head swap with Dean Ambrose, US Title. Still need to swap arms/shoulders, but can't imagine messing up my figures attempting torso cracks/swaps...)

Nice stuff, Shockwayne!
BTW, that E25 Rollins torso is the easiest I've ever cracked. I took the head & arms off and dunked it (torso first, legs out obviously lol) in a mug of hot water that was microwaved to a boil, let it sit about 7 minutes or so for good measure, and the glue literally loosened to the point that no blades were needed, and it came apart at the shoulders, upper and lower sides without much help from a flat butterknife with no problem at all.
That design of torso- the 'skinny' one- is usually fairly easy to crack without damaging, but I've cracked two E25 Ambroses and two E25 Rollins torsos with absolutely NO trouble at all- in fact, to get the Ambrose shoulders, that torso seperated at the neck and arms while the glue loosened up in the hot water! I had absolutely nothing to do but pull it apart after taking it out to get the shoulders and seperate the parts, lol. Easiest torso to swap by far, and these two in particular. Took me 15 minutes.

Thank you! Great tip, but how do I get it all back together and look factory? Can you post a photo of yours? Also don't know what type of glue or where to apply it (if needed) thanks again!

I don't know about the other guys here, but I just put a little super glue in the peg holes inside the figure (assuming you didn't break them in the process). If you didn't mutilate the figure (considering it's an easy torso to crack, this shouldn't be a problem), it'll go back together and look factory. The trick, though, is don't put too much, the stuff still takes up room. A very small amount is all you need. If you were a little rough on cracking it a the pegs broke off, glue them back together. Put a little glue where you would if it was a clean crack. Now, if the figure is mangled, I've found the best thing to do is glue the figure together using the outer rim of the torso (on the inside, mind you). Chances are, you'll end up getting glue on the outside. Just sand it down and hit it with some paint, and it isn't too noticeable.

Superglues all work the same, really, so it's your preference.

Anyone know of a good base for a Sting custom? Trying to stay away from painting. I want it to look as factory as possible. The look I would go for could be any of the following...
Crow Sting NWA World Champion Sting from BFG when he beat Jarrett (preferabbly this one) Blue or orange surfer Sting
Any of the looks above would be good, but I'd really like to go for his look from when he beat Jarrett at BFG years ago.

The first fix-up I ever made (about a month or two ago). I'll paint it eventually, but this works for now. Anyway, here's what I've done this week: Heads on the Hardys. Still not the right boots, but I don't feel like dropping $30 to get the right ones. He has monkey forearms right now, as they were the only black tape forearms I have at the moment. I will be adding shorter ones soon. By far, the most difficult and time-consuming fix-up anyone has ever made. WWF Paul Wight, pre-Big Show. And, finally, a little preview of what's coming next...

To anyone who made an elite Kurt Angle out of Swagger (TRU WM exclusive fig), what Jakk's head works best, size and skin tone wise? Thanks in advance. BulletClub4Life Urich: Some amazing fix ups you got there my friend! Hardyz Look awesome!

BulletClub4Life Urich: Some amazing fix ups you got there my friend! Hardyz Look awesome! Havoc unleashed. They were these little dollar store figures that cost like three dollars in some stores. Tone matches up almost perfectly.
