It's hard to keep up you chinese_chicken, I am definitely gonna try the magnet idea with the changeable hands. Thanks for the tip. Here is a WIP of the the Dog Faced Gremlin, still needs some work This is one of my most wanted wrestlers from Mattel. That looks great so far. the only thing I might change is the top to the Bushwackers top as that was their singlet cut. Unless you are going for his early NWA days then the Finlay torso works. I can't weait to see the finished figure. (Who's head did that start out as?

here are some work in progress fix ups I've been messing around with: The hogan with light yellow is a real simple texas tornado body and savage boots. The hogan with dark yellow (which I always fell matches hogan real trunk color) is a british bulldog body but the trunks are a acetoned rick rude trunks. The jeff hardy is a bushwacker body with r truth lower legs. With this one though the r truth lower legs are casts along with the feet. I'm trying to limit buying so many figures just for parts. The hardy head is also from a mold i made. Finally the flair is a basic piper body but the head is a shrunken head i made. I always liked his deluxe jakks head so i shrunk it for a mattel figure

i think for the jeff you should do face paint and use a jericho torso then just paint the shirt and the flair head is kinda goofy looking

I think the flashy pics are making those figures look a little more odd than they really are. I'm usually not a fan of this typical explanation, but after tinkering with some "paint to match" jobs recently, I know it's a legit excuse sometimes.
I personally feel Jeff could benefit more from a restructuring of the top of his head, rather than simple face paint. If you could do some sanding/sculpting to lower it a bit, I think the head would look much better.
The size on Flair isn't too bad either. It's the skin tone and eyes that make it look very cartoony. Again, this could just be from the flash.

Decided to make an updated Cody Rhodes. I also feel that the torso Mattel gave Cody wasn't right, but that's just my opinion.

I really like that Cody scan. I'm kinda kicking myself now for not picking up that 2pk at TRU Friday.

Had a little time today so I gave Austin the legs from an extra Volkoff I had lying around. The beefier legs look much better, IMO. Quick pic from phone Totally diggin the beefier thighs. Will have to do this for my Austin and another fix up/custom I'm banging away on. Question, for you or anyone that can answer, are the Volkoff thighs the same length as Austin's thighs or are they shorter like British Bulldogs? I'd done a swap using Bulldogs thighs but lost about an 1/4 inch in height as they're short than Austin's. Thanks to whoever can answer for me!
