Just opened some of my elites to display. I was wondering if any of you could help me with getting Rollins to stand up right? How can I fix that foot problem?

Could anyone offer me their advice on paint markers such as Elmer's Painters? I never painted a figure before, but I've been strongly considering it for some time now, wanting to find something that is easy to apply and will stay durable overtime even if that means taking a DDT or 2

Step 1. Never, ever use paint pens for customs.

Hebner. Little bit of balloon head going on. Now that I look at it, I wish I still had my Movie Masters Alfred figure. While this is a better likeness, I'd just recommend the TTL cause that one has a smaller head. Tho it's pretty hard to find

Step 1. Never, ever use paint pens for customs. I'd be interested in hearing why he should never use paint pens. I used to use Crayola paint markers exclusively on soft plastic/rubber figures (i.e. Galoob/LJN) with great success. Please elaborate.

if the paint pen they are using happens to be enamel paint pens... sure they aren't going to work. but if they are acrylic, they will be more than fine.

I have tried so many times to crack a (basic/elite) torso - but all I did is ruin a perfectly good figure

I took my time with the McMahon torso. It was like a 30 minute process but totally worth it!

Which would bother me lol it's not bad, now just waiting for that 2002 Hogan to be announced/released so I can have Hogan and McMahon go at it
