Awesome Warrior POP88. I did one like that back in April, if I can find the picture, I'll post it. If not, I'll just retake a new picture. EDIT: Found it on my flickr.

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. I know, this is a late reply and we've since moved pages beyond Muta but just to close the loop on this - you're absolutely right about the belt mold on the HBK pants. Muta didn't have that, however it takes quite a bit of effort to split trunks in order to do a switch like that. You would basically be cracking two figures just to get some black trunks so that you can attach legs below and a torso on top of the trunks. Thankfully the belt is painted black too so it's not that much of an eye-sore. But considering we don't even have a properly scaled Muta head from any other toy line, I personally can overlook the belt because any head we use will never be the real Muta. As for the torso, I really do feel Terry Funk's is most appropriate, Chavo, Macho, Martel, Pillman - are all too ripped. Muta in the late 80s early 90s didn't have a six-pack. He was actually a well built big asian dude. But that's a matter of preference.

updated warrior he was wearing white cowboy boots with tassles so i cooked this up Looks Great, What did you make the top of the cowboy boots out of? Expect me to Steal this Idea ---- Bandy - The Spots on the belt can be carved off and Sanded down. Then wipe it gently with acetone to bring the original color back. Pretty easy fix without having to split trunks.

Love those Warriors. Reminds me of the old Hasbro figure I used to have.

What's a good Scott Hall recipe? HBJ body with short calves (duggan or British bulldog) and bulldog or Taker/kane or Rude boots. Another recipe is Barrett body with short calves and long boots, but in this case you have to paint chest hair.

Thanks to Powers of Pain for the inspiration on this one. I was thinking about picking up the WMH Macho Man that's coming out, but I think an elite version is better. So far it's just a WIP, I still have to remove some paint, but I wanted to show it so far. There's no paint added, looks factory made. Theres just one detail missing that would make this perfect. Other than Deans Pad printing for the Back of the Trunks. Tall White Boots. I know they are a pain in the ass to aquire. altho DM savage has been cheaper latly. But it would make the figure pop and it would be more accurate. otherwise its gonna be sick

I actually have an extra DM Macho that I was going to swap out the boots with to make it more accurate. And I planned on just leaving the white Macho Man and stars on the back, but getting rid of the stars on the front. I know it isn't accurate, but I don't know what else I can do, aside from painting it purple, but I'm not sure I want to do that.

I would leave it with the white writing on the back. I cant wait to see it with the tall whites.

DM Macho is the cheapest option right now for tall white boots but you gotta be ace with the acetone because that purple will leave a tint when you're done. RSC NWO Macho has the pure white tall boots but it's expensive for just boots. Just remember you need to use short calves at that point - regular calves are going to make him too tall.

Okay, so here's a little update. I still need to clean up the top part of the boots some, but I need to buy more Goof Off.

plastictaxicab & PoP88- Great job on those warriors. I really like that Macho Man too. Can't get enough customs of either guy. Here's a few things I'm doing for another fix-up order. Franchise and Shamrock Awesome and Sandow Matt Morgan Still need to do a lil work on these. I want thicken up Morgans arm tats as well, as they're just a base outline for now. Also, I've been getting quite a few "well I woulda used this instead" messages about these. Understand that I'm merely working with what I'm given. The guy is doing a great job of putting obsolete figures/parts in his collection to good use, and getting stuff done within a good budget. Anyways, hope you guys like them. I have ton more still to come as part of this guys order.

I recently found two HBJ figures at a car boot sale last week and decided to make a WWE legend... JBL!!! I've yet to buy a head but will update when do. Also a quick SCSA fix up, swapped his hand so i can display him in his iconic pose!

PrideFcF - Awesome stuff you are working on. I'm working on a Shamrock myself, and it's all but done aside from the head choice. I was thinking about using that Cena head you used, and was going to fix the hair, but I still haven't decided.

I have ton more still to come as part of this guys order. Those are looking good buddy. I like both Franchise and Shamrock a lot. Franchise looks a lot like one that I was working on, but rather than the ECW head I was using the WCW Unleashed one... going more of a WCW/Revolution look than ECW/Triple Threat. That head looks nice on the Austin torso though! Shamrock is looking good too. As one of the self-proclaimed biggest Shamrock fans around it is always fun to see a figure made of him. The Cena head has the potential to work great for him. Always enjoy seeing your work.

I was watching my Jakks Andy Kaufman figure and i'd like to create a Mattel one.
What recipe you think could work for him?
