that head works well for malenko. When I was looking at it before painting, I imagined it working to an extent, so I'm happy that you agree!

Vince looks great. Mankind is good if you aren't partial to the sweatpants like me. The pant and hair look ridiculous on Taker. The pants, you could maybe pull off the hair is straight up wrong. Malenko is off to a great start. The head works well. Did you sand down the ponytail in the back to make it fit with the rest of the hair or is there a nub?

You'd probably have to use that plastic bonding spray paint if you want to keep him playable in areas that move. You'll have to go through the hassle of taping off a ton of areas that you don't want to get painted, but it's the best way to ensure he remains fully playable.

Mankind fixup: Simply swapped out the shins and boots with an elite Undertaker (I had ruined the torso on my only elite 'Taker by accident but luckily saved the legs! They give Foley some of the needed extra height!) This idea was *borrowed* by somebody who posted a few pages back (sorry, forgotten the username). You're welcome lol. That hardcore belt looks great, really completes the figure.

Malenko is off to a great start. The head works well. Did you sand down the ponytail in the back to make it fit with the rest of the hair or is there a nub? Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I did sand the nub leftover from removing the ponytail, so it fits flush with the actual hair. The reasoning for using the Diesel hair piece on 'Taker was simply because I bought a modified 'Taker off eBay (was the figure I used for Vince so too short, hence using Diesel's body, and the DM head had the hair cut right down short so needed replacing and the Diesel hair was all I had). You're welcome lol. That hardcore belt looks great, really completes the figure. Thanks for the complimnt on the Hardcore Championship - I figured Mattel wouldn't make one (as if they did, surely it'd come with Foley!) so decided to make one. @"Deadman"13tazz13: your Malenko looks awesome, what head did you use? HBK ponytail head. Correct, it's the ponytail HBK head (I had two spare from the extra WM-XXVIII figs I got for customs)!

awesome Lemmy! My original idea was to use that Triple H head, but didnt think the nose would work, I got one made then using a DA Sabu head with some modding. looks awesome and has more aged effect than Triple H

Clever head choice for that Dean Malenko. Mostly everyone picks a modded Ted Jr, so it's good to see you trying something different. Here's a few things I'm working on. Anything not listed for an order is up for grabs. I haven't done a Basic custom in well over 2yrs. They were just too hard to sell, as most people would always comment "oh man, I'd drop cash on that right now...if it were Elite". So I kind of abandoned the style, and jumped to Elites. I'm hoping that trend changes with this, as I'd like to work with both types of figures. Austin Aries. The next 3 are for an order. I still need to clean up the details, and puff out Ions hair some more so I can get these to the buyer asap. Shelley, Ion, and Aries This is also for an order, I have to finish up his attire tonight and get him shipped. Sonjay Dutt And lastly, this was for an old order that fell through. I kept beating around the bush in regards to finishing it, but recently a fellow board member asked on here about the guy, so I decided to complete the project. I'm pretty glad I did, as I like the "scale" of the figure. Willie Mack I sculpted over most of his muscle definition, but the size of the parts still give him that beefy power house look he has. It should be complete tonight as well. Hope you guys like them. I'll be adding everything that's completed to my classifieds thread in the next day or so.

@ PrideFcF, your fix ups always come out awesome but I gotta say that Alex Shelley is outstanding. I love everything about it. Gret job man!
Just a quick question... Can I heat the upper thigh piece from an elite to do switches or do I have to split the torso and trunks? It looks like it can be boiled and popped out like heads and limbs. Just want to make sure before I mess with some of my spares, thanks!

Just want to make sure before I mess with some of my spares, thanks! Depends. The thighs can be boiled and popped off. but the hip you can split them apart, but you'd probably have to split the torso and crotch piece, because they use different sized heads on the stems inside the crotch piece.
