Jbl is too thin... Chris Benoit's head choice is a bit on the edge when it comes to likeness... And I am guessing that your Goldberg is an Austin body but with a Goldberg head... Goldberg is ripped bro... But nonetheless your customs looks great...

Thanks for the input. The reference picture I used for the basis of this Goldberg where he's not as ripped, his early WCW days is posted along with the full write in my customs gallery  |

Not a fan of the Benoit head. (never was even on a Jakks), but the tights look amazing. And Goldberg looks great as well.

Goldberg is ripped bro... But nonetheless your customs looks great... I agree with that, get a bigger torso 4JBL as His head looks 2big 4wot u got! Same with Benoit id try n get a DA head & if ur goin with the ref pic then ok! Ur paint work tho is off tha scale! U wanna do a Goldberg 4me with bigger rippped Torso!!! Good work! |

hey heres a somewhat simple custom of lex luger from his wcw days and is one of many customs im working on at the moment and i'll also be posting a line of wcw customs soon and many wips. so let me know what you think Luger's boots were taller than that... similar to Million Dollar Man's or Macho Man's. Actually for pony-tail Luger that stunner619 did the mid-sized boots are very accurate. When Luger came back to WCW in the nWo era he switched between those mid-white and mid-black boots. But as far as his NWA days, yes absolutely - he had tall white boots ~ but no pony tail. |

I gonna be making a Billy Gunn, but I'm torn on part choices. Should I do one with purple shorts using a Rick Martel body with the small purple kneepads? Or should do one with yellow shorts using a Kerry Von Erich and the big kneepads with the yellow in middle and black on top and bottom?

If i were to do a billy gunn i would use Mr Perfects Lower torso and go with blue shorts... but in the end its your decision which way to go i fixed up my Gang custom, Probably gonna sell him next week   I should probably paint a skull on his hat |

But I'm trying to go with what I have and I don't have kneepads to match those shorts. |

Seems like the forehead on omg is way to big poc. nothin i can do about it, thats as low as you can carve before you end up with holes in his head. MDT left just enough plastic under the hair to get a fairly good bald head. I think its pretty good but i wanted to go a little lower with the head myself . For Scale, hes the same size as akeem but heres a shot anyhow  |

I recently did my very first fix ups, I kind of went on figure spree with my tax-returns, and I got the Punk/Austin All-Stars 2 Pack, Macho Man/JoMo All-Stars 2 Pack, and two Punk/Macho Man Battle Packs (I got an extra set for parts). I also got The Rock Elite 14, and The Rock Entrance Great. I bought a loose Austin Legend 1, a pair of Mattel knee braces, and a loose Hacksaw Jim Duggan Legends on Ebay. I also got the Classic Superstars LJN style chase figures of Austin and The Rock. I also picked up a a MOC WWEShop.com Exclusive Jakks Austin. I also got a good deal on Ebay for a Ring Giants Triple H in his 2006 DX trucks and with the beard with the shaved chin. So here are the fix-ups I did. Let me preface by saying I love The Rock's attitude era look with the long sideburns. So I swapped The Rock's Entrance Great head onto The Rock's Elite 14 body, so he is Elite style now with the full Samoan tattoo. I am not sure what you guys might think of this, its just a personal preference of mine. Next I swapped heads with my All-Stars Punk and my extra Battle Pack CM Punk, I also gave my All-Stars Punk the Nexus shirt and arm band from my Elite 11 Punk. I gave my Elite 11 Punk the microphone that came with The Elite 14 The Rock. I ordered at BITW shirt from Emmings on Ebay, I am still waiting on it to arrive. I gave my Legends 1 Austin one of the extra knee braces I bought. I swapped the calves/knees on Battle Pack Macho Man with the Legends Hacksaw Jim Duggan in order to shorten up The Battle Pack Macho Man. I had to, he was taller than all the other figures I have. Now he is about the same height as the other Macho Man's / Macho King that I own. I tried swapping Macho's Battle Pack boots with his All-Stars boots, but that just made him taller. So I left the short boots on The Battle Pack. I swapped the yellow knee pads from my extra Battle Pack Macho Man on to my All-Stars Macho Man. Macho Man usually wore yellow knee pads with his star trunks. I put the orange and purple All-Stars bandanna on the Battle Pack Macho Man, and tiger print bandanna on the All-Stars Macho Man I gave Battle Pack CM Punk the Macho Man Legends 5 shirt I am not really a huge JoMo fan nor a collector of his figures, so I got kind of creative (sort of), and swapped my spare Battle Pack Macho Man head onto All-Stars JoMo's body. I also swapped the arms between my spare Battle Pack Macho Man and All-Stars JoMo, it looks pretty cool, kind of reminds me of a WCW Macho Man, when he had the long tights and wore tassels and fringe around the boots. It would probably look cooler painted some other colors though. by the way I wanted to share this with you that ToysRUs.com has the Punk/Macho Man Battle Pack for $20.99. Its like less than half the price as what most other places selling it for online. www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12664122 |

So I split my first torsos tonight, the elite one split perfectly...and came back together well, but now the ab joint is loose...not overtly. And I can live with it, but is there a way to fix it? I f'ed up splitting the basic torso though. I was switching out shoulder between summer slam edge and my elite edge, I got the summer slam to do a head swap, and when I opened the elite, his shoulder tat was messed up, so I witches it out.
