In case anyone was curious about how the head swap would look on Rikishi, I went ahead and did that since I disliked the mattel head. Did a fix up on The Rock as well into his red attire and brahma bull pads. Both looks great. So rikishi's head is same size n colour? While you're at it, did u go and paint rikishi's ass for a more accurate ass to thong ratio? Lol. |

kuleo16: those look good. Did you have to paint the heads? I've been wanting to switch my Rock to a real scan head too but havent yet because of the skintone not matching. Your Rikishi may have just persuaded me to buy one.

Will a toy biz Hollywood Hogan weight belt fit around a Mattel waist? It's actually a loose fit around folks with a normal sized waist. Adding an extra notch to the belt would be easy enough. It is a perfect fit for Undertaker/Kane/Hillbilly Jim's waist, but it's a no-go for the Hacksaw Duggan sized waists. |

Mattel Elite ECW Steve Corino: Hope you guys enjoy this one, more to come later this next week That is sick! I was a big fan of Corino back in the ECW days. What head did you use? In case anyone was curious about how the head swap would look on Rikishi, I went ahead and did that since I disliked the mattel head. Did a fix up on The Rock as well into his red attire and brahma bull pads. Rikishi looks so much better with a headswap! Oh, man, the combination of it, that Rock, and the old SmackDown! stage... I feel all warm and fuzzy! |

Steve corino and lashley are works of art... Kuleo 16 - did you paint those trunks? I really like them Its actually decals I made myself, I did however have to take a low res of the logo of The Rocks trunks into photoshop so I can make a Hi res version of it so its not so pixelated when printing it out. I dont mind painting the small details but for the cleanest and factory made look, its best to go with decals. Will go along with the other mattel figures well  And thanks everyone, I do like how the Rikishi turned out. I'm mostly collecting and doing customs/fixups of the wrestlers from the Attitude Era, and a little from the Aggression Era. |

I'm glad I have that Rikishi head lying around. I know what I'm doing when I get my hands on E27.
Which Rock head is that? I've been wanting to switch out the head on mine and that looks perfect.

This is by far the toughest custom that I've had the opportunity to create. Months of on-and-off work here. The tattoos were a PAIN IN THE BUTT, to look for decent reference pics and to paint them. Nevertheless, I enjoyed doing this very much. But I most likely won't ever do another one again.  I will be posting more pics in the Customs board.  |

ROCKAJABRONi, that's awesome you posted this as I pieced parts this morning for mine & was just looking at reference pictures for him. Great work! You did a super clean job on the paint job. I have that exact WCW Vampiro figure coming in from eBay to get the accessories to use for my custom of him, but I wanted to know how you feel about the head as it looks a bit big for the Mattel scale. Did you hollow it out so there is rotation on the neck? @zombieapocalypse, Godfather looks great! Do you have any other shots of him now that he's done?

@kse, thanks man. Good luck with the reference pics! This was done for an order and I was supplied with the base. The head is hollowed and glued on, so there is no articulation. I think the head size is pretty good. If you use a different torso, it might look more proportional as that torso is a bit small to begin with. Can't wait to see yours! Glad I put mine out there now so I don't have to follow after yours haha.

Can you get some more pictures up? I would love to see the ring gear and the figure as a whole.. |

I couldn't find any reference pics for his back tattoo or tights so I just copied the figure. Hope it's somewhat accurate. |
