any good way to get super glue to tighten the leg joint Yes, but you have to be on top of the process the whole time. It's a constant moving the leg motion so it doesn't harden and stay in that position type. Try a small amount at first and do so to see if it tightens, then add more and do the same thing until you are happy with its rotation. The glue will eventually dry and build up a texture that should help tighten the loose joint. |

Mattel Elite ECW Rhino: Hope you guys enjoy this one, more to come soon! I love it but his head is HUGE. Is that a Jakks head? At first I thought it was the Marvel head but it looks way too big! |

Sid looks pretty good, but I think Orton's head is a little small for the body.
It's a hard toss up because the Jakks head is way too big & the Orton head isn't big enough. I made one recently with the Toybiz WCW Sid head, but that figure isn't very easy to come by for a decent price on those selling sites. I'll see what else I can come up with, but I appreciate the comment as I know I am not the only one who feels it's a bit small for the Hillbilly Jim body. Here's a pic of him with the Toybiz Sid Vicious vest..
Hey man i think the face can be make better by trimming off a bit of the hair and cutting the face and forehead to make it more angular n less chubby looking.  This is my previous sid. Do you have the jakks head? Can try put on a lesnar body? I've been wondering if the head size would be more suitable on that. |

Mattel Elite ECW Rhino:   Hope you guys enjoy this one, more to come soon! Awesome work my friend! spot on! Mattel makes the better figure, no question about that, the mattel fanboys will tell you the head is too big. I think it looks totally proportional, the wide shoulders, Brock arms and thick thighs totally balance it out. Head shrinking is an option, that requires a 10% - 15% shrink. Is that REALLY necessary? IMO I think not. Again, your Rhino Looks GREAT! |

I'd say the Rhino head is slightly too big, but switching to the Marvel head would be way too small, and that body is just perfect for Rhino. Keep it how it is.

That Rhyno is awesome! Great job! Since we are talking about Sid, this is what a Lesnar upper torso half looks like on hillbilly jim lower stomach.   I don't think there's a torso out there that fits sid and the available heads are so-so. This at least gives sid the larger chest without making him thick all the way down. Also the head doesn't look so big. |

Slap a Mattel Diesel vest on him, chest hair decals, white wrist tape, maybe medium black knee pads and that IS the best Sid I've ever seen. |

Which Rhyno head is that? I hope it's not the R3 Head Okay guys, what's an easy Mattel ECW Lita formula? I have the head coming (full figure actually) and I think it looks weird. It's the TTL one with a dark green top  The hair might be wrong but I'm not gonna buy another Lita figure Also have a Balls Mahoney head, a TTL test head for Jerry Lynn, and a TTL Benoit head coming, what's a good body for Balls? I saw someone use Mark Henry and it looked okay but it's obviously incorrect. I know Pillman for Benoit, anyone have good reference pics for an ECW attire? Jerry I was planning on using one of my extra Christian's unless I found an E20 Christian cheap |

I didnt have to mod anything, it fit really nice. I've tried other combinations of torso pieces to create "new" upper bodies but it never works. This one, however, works quite well. I saw someone do something similar many pages back, so credit to that dude for the idea. Sid will get the white wrist tape eventually and I do have the winged eagle belt and toybiz vest for him.

I appreciate you showing this & I also appreciate the person who made the recipe for this as I am putting one together right now before bed. I have been working on a few Sid's as of late, so why not throw another one in the mix? Thanks for the reference. |

Great part choices for the Rhino.

That Umaga looks pretty good so far. Can't wait to see the finished product. Seems like a simple enought custom to give it a shot.

The Usos figures have the thumb tape as a tribute to Umaga. U might could use their hands if not too tiny I've got them, but I'm working on turning them into elites.. and I'll try to make the von erich hand a little more closed so it looks more like the samoan spike. |
