Crud that torso was my fear When he returned on NXT he wore a full sleeved top so could go for that look? BAF legs with MVP torso? Just gotta remove the logos.

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! Havoc Unleashed by far! Took me a while to get it on the bay, but it was worth the wait, my pics don't do it justice

I made my first order last night. Thanks to a thread I saw in the custom board. Shipping was only $5.95
I bought these items: 1 x Undertaker "Biker" Denim Vest (VEST-TAKER/DENIM) = $7.99 1 x Abyss Brown Jacket / Hoodie (JKT-ABYSS/BROWN) = $10.99 1 x Dusty Rhodes Black Jacket (JKT-DUSTY/BLK) = $9.99 1 x Undertaker Sleeveless Denim Jacket (VEST-TAKER/DENIM) = $7.99 1 x Undertaker ABA Denim Vest, Skull Cap & Elbow Pad (TAKER-BIKER/VEST-SKULL-PAD) = $10.99
They're for my Batman Arkham customs I'm putting together.

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 would love to post photos, but I have no PC internet access- I'm working with a Samsung Galaxy S3 as my only way to post. If someone would be so kind as to share a tutorial as to how to post from my phone, please message me, I'd love to share ny fix-ups. Thank you! Even though this particular situation didn't call for it, I usually use a blade to cut along the lines to seperate the torso, as well as cut the pegs at the shoulder and rib area to insure easy seperation. I have found that when working with plastic, superglue may only get you so far. Cutting the pegs near the corners and sides in order to help the torso-seperating process usually doesn't harm the playability of the figure at all, besides perhaps it being a little loose at the mid-torso joint. If that is the case, I have found that hot glue works VERY well. It's forgiving- you can melt it and restart if you messed up. But if you split the pegs when cracking a torso, and apply a small dab of hot glue to the spots where the pegs connected, and put the figure back together it should stiffen up the mid-torso quite well. This is simply based on my experience.

This is simply based on my experience. ImageShack's mobile site is how I do it. Unfortunately, for some reason, I have to Google it rather than just go to the site. Anyway, upload the image, and you'll see some bars under it, one of which will be labeled "Forums". Just copy and paste that and you'll be fine. I've never tried hot glue, but it makes sense. It's intended purpose is crafting, after all. I figured it wouldn't be strong enough so I never even considered it. I will say that superglue can be heated and taken apart just like doing an original crack, though. Nice job. I really dig the way you did the knee pads. The only thing I don't like about this is the claw hand, but that's not your fault. I just can't stand that claw hand.

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... Dat Bigshow is siiiiiiiiiiick. Theres gotta be a better way to make hardyz with these legs w/o that horrible size difference ><; I like them otherwise.

Show is nothing more than an E4 Big Show (sans the singlet) and a TTL head. If it weren't for drilling the thing out, it'd be the easiest fix-up in the history of fix-ups. As for the Hardyz, I'm not sure what you mean by size difference. If you mean the height between Matt & Jeff, they are a lot closer in height than the picture makes them look. If you mean the leg size, the only way I know of to not have that bulk would be to go for R-Truth legs the whole way down and lose the cargo pockets (which pretty much feel like a necessity), or to use skinnier lower legs like most do, but I like having the almost JNCO flare they used to Rock back in the day.

How would a King Kong Bundy Jakks work for Blue Meanie?

How would a King Kong Bundy Jakks work for Blue Meanie? Bundy seems a bit big for a Meanie base to me. I mean, the dude nearly burst into flames when he tried to dock at Lakehurst back in 1937. (For the history buffs out there who got that reference, I sincerely apologize.) Then again, if you don't mind Jakks proportions, all the far bodies seem to be pushing two tons, so it could work. All you'd need to do at that point is mod a head to make it work, because Ralph's has a Meanie outfit for sale. If you want a more realistically proportioned Meanie, though, I'd suggest using a Mattel Dusty Rhodes as a base.

Yeah, The pockets are the whole reason for using the shield legs. I'll look at what I got and see what I can do, Been wanting to do this myself for awhile but didn't want to end up with that odd joint.

I hadn't though of trying that, but I might have to know. God bless you, Dremel.

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! Thanks. I haven't done it personally, but it's the Havoc Unleashed head if you're going for the bald look. Uh that ones are so rare and hard to come by. That elite Angle looks great! Elite Hunico is sick - great work on that one!
