I don't know, in this pic it seems they are tall boots. I think that the kneepads in reality are "in the middle", between the long pair and the small pair. In short, he wears a size of kneepads that Mattel hasn't produced yet. I think this is exactly the point PJ was making... If you look at the back of the boots, they are cut just at the calf, but the front sits up a little bit higher giving the illusion of length. I think his boots are definitely somewhere in between. Like you said its the same deal with the kneepads. While the shape of the Orton style one fits the bill for Hall, his are longer, and with the sleeve underneath, even moreso. Its all a matter of personal preference. I am discovering that to be the case for both Hogan and Hall, different people like different things with regard to the part choice. Its all preference. Perhaps we have found a use for the Rock boots? Is it possible that those could be modified slightly to better match Hall's boot style? I don't think using the Rock's boots for Hall would look very good.

all that's left for me to do is screw up the head somehow when it arrives and I attempt to do my first major paint job... Looking forward to what head is used, hopefully the Japanese series mini head figures, or the NJPW figure line from the late 90s?

i'm not understanding these Great Muta customs using the HBK ref body. You're words wound me kody! HBK ref pants are better suited for Muta than baggy Rey Mysterio pants and his body is clearly L2 Terry Funk since Muta actually had the same size as Sting who wasn't a little guy either: Looking forward to what head is used, hopefully the Japanese series mini head figures, or the NJPW figure line from the late 90s? Sorry to disappoint, it's a fix-up so I went with the next best thing we have readily available - a Funaki head - my painting will either make or break this one.

My favourite PPV Yeah that's my reference pic for Muta - even made sure he had white-bottomed boots. Have no clue how I'll probably massacre the Japanese writing on his face lol. Anyone have a clear pic of what those symbols are?

I've seen that other ppl are using the HBK ref too.....i just don't get it. I don't think it works. The pant legs work...but not the other stuff. U need to change the crotch piece to get rid of the belt. There aren't many body choices. But Chavo is probably the closest color/size wise. If u can put Chavo's torso on elite 15/18 Rey hip w/ HBK ref legs.

Hey Bandy... Have you ever thought of using Steamboat's DM scan for Muta? The hair color & cut is pretty similar so all you'd have to do is paint the face. Plus Ricky's skin tone is the same as HBK's. And most Big Lots have him for 13 bucks right now!

Sorry to double post but.... I know most hate Basics but I love em for my current shelves cause I can update much more often. And this is the most accurate Basic Cm Punk I think I can make.... BP body with painted tats. Elite arms. Dean decals added. WM Elite Punk's boots. And Basic 24 Punk's head. I did have to acetone off his eyebrows & repaint them. Love the new scan.

The hear was be exact but I wonder if one would still see Steamboat under the paint...you're tempting me now!

Right im in a dilemma ere... I got an early jakks Test head & i was thinkin of puttin it on an elite Kozlov but i tried it & it didnt sit right & therefore was bigger than Taker,Diesel & Kane. I then tried it on Triple H but 2small & 2 bulky. Then i tried it on Wade Barrett & it looked ok height was spot on. Im jus thinkin is the torso 2small Test wasn't as big as nash or kane & a couple of pages back barrett's torso was used for Hall he was bulky! Please post ur thoughts. Thanks

Thanks Chuck a pic Taff I dont think Diesel or Taker would be ideal cause Test never wore the singlet that they both have

The hear was be exact but I wonder if one would still see Steamboat under the paint...you're tempting me now! Not sure if you'd be able to tell it was Steamboat or not with the eyebrows being painted over. A friendly suggestion? I'd go with this face paint just to add some color.... And if you have any, use a set of John Morrison's arms. That way you get the black & white wrist tape without having to paint em. And as far as HBK's belt buckle goes, you could always find a 3/4 inch place piece of black plastic or rubber to fold once and glue to the front to make it look like a karate belt. Just a few ideas I've had & I thought I'd share with ya. Thanks guys!!

If you used his attire from the new basic and added his battlepack 7 boots, it would look exactly like his attire from Monday
