i was thinking about swapping the boots too, but i wasn't sure if it would make him too tall or not . but damn dude, your paint job is flawless. looks great, I wish mattel would have sculpted the singlet Thanks A, he does tower over EVERYBODY, althought that's the look I was going for. The paint job came out great but I had to crack the upper torso to correctly paint the abdomin section, last big guy I cracked was the iron sheik & he was a tough cookie to crackÂ… pun intended. I completely agree that Mattel should have sculpted the singlet butÂ… |

Holy Otunga that Cody is awesome!! He should've been released like that. An updated attire too wouldve made it a top 3 mattel fig in my book. Also great work on Andre! Flawless work!

Thanks Jay, I wanted the new attire for this fix up but the paint application process just kept dragging so I stuck with the undashing look. I'm sure we will get another Cody soon so I'm happy with this for now. |

Nice skintone paint. I really like RVD's singleton design. Hardy came out real nice too. |

Here are a couple of my latest fix ups Here we have an E13 Cody fix up The chest is from E8 Drew McIntyre, the head & upper legs are from an E3 Cody & the bottom legs are from E13 variation. This is how Mattel should have done him, the legs look "buff" with the two styles fused together & the chest fits the codster very well.     Next is Andre the Giant, Andre has been given a painted on singlet & a set of DM Undertaker boots to achieve a greater height.   That Andre is massive, I didn't think the figure could get any better until I saw yours. amazing job. |

Now that is some EXCELLENT part choices there smash! THAT is how Cody Rhodes should have been built with the inventory of parts MDT has at their disposal.
The painted singlet on Andre is exactly how he should have been made in the first place - another fantastic job. But I'll be honest, I'm not digging the Undertaker boots to make him even taller - he was a very very large man, but he wasn't super tall like El Gigante

What's the best recipe for a hogan? I see different ones used. I'm wanting to do his later look, with the long tights and I'll get boas for him

Nice work on the Andre, Labeled. I like the cloth singlet so I can have Andre use the strap to choke out his opponents like he did in nearly all his heel matches. I'm glad Mattel gave him that so I have the option but for those that wanted a sculpted strap that should serve as solid inspiration for them.

But I'll be honest, I'm not digging the Undertaker boots to make him even taller - he was a very very large man, but he wasn't super tall like El Gigante Dearly noted. As a kid I always saw him as a "Giant." I was slightly disappointed when he was about the same height as the big 3 (Undertaker, Big Show & Kane) thus the height change. Again you are right he was wide not tall. Nice work on the Andre, Labeled.

Not as fancy as Labeled101's (coincidence we were both fixing up Cody, lol).. but here is my simple Cody fix-up. I ordered that black jacket from Ralph's as well.  I was going for more of a "Dashing" look. @ Labeled101 - that torso looks awesome on yours. |

Here's a couple simple ones. First I made MNM. These are simple head swaps. I got 2 All-Stars JOMOs cheap so I decided to make these.  Next is DM1 HBK with the WM26 head on it. I also added an elbow pad from CM Punk.  |

Luger's boots were taller than that... similar to Million Dollar Man's or Macho Man's. |
