This is the third stage for my Mankind fix-up. ![](http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z19/jp6474/IMG_3469.jpg) This figure presently uses: CS Mankind head, mask and Mr. Socko Legends George the Animal Steele body and upper legs Elite Matt Hardy lower legs (below the knee joint) Legends Sgt. Slaughter boots Legends Hacksaw Jim Arms Ralph's Mankind shirt and tie I'm having someone else make me a set of custom shirts, ties and sweat pants to fit a Mankind figure. When those get here I'll decide which I like better.

If there was anyone best suited for the Sheik torso, Dino Bravo is that person. I'm not sure the skinny arms and "out of shape" torso works well for "Canada's Strongest Man." Another critique (although this may be a personal one) is to angle the eyebrows in an angry/intense manner, as opposed to the surprised look. My last critique is think about adding a little color to the Mattel lips. I know it sounds weird, but small touches like that make a figure pop!
However, I'm digging the tights. They're crisp! Your talent's really blossoming, and I hope you take constructive criticism well, because you improve with every post.
...oh, side note. When you sand parts down and dullness appears, use a rag with a little lacquer thinner on the dull part. It brings the original shine right back. When I'm shaving a head down, I keep lacquer thinner by my side to quickly remove the dullness.

I was Planning on giving him bigger arms but they added so much length to the figure he looked like an ape so i left them as is As for the torso ![](http://images.wikia.com/prowrestling/images/4/41/Dino-Bravo.jpg) ![](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww124/rjhales/mattel/wwf008-1.jpg) I thought it fit him quite well, not exactly as it should be but there arn't a lot of torso options out there. I never thought about sheik tho, im sure it would work well, thanks for the advice axe, I like him in duggans torso , i think its a good fit for the timeframe. as for the eyebrows , ill probably take your advice on that when i get some more spare time The thing i know i def need to fix to make myself happy is the hair, i think it needs to be lightened up a little .... but meh , im pretty happy with it . I dont know if anyone else has done a mattel Bravo, but i havent seen many good bravo customs yet edit; ya im gonna fix the eyebrows 4 sure, thanks axe

Apacolypse, I am really liking the Dino Bravo. The decals (?) or paint work on his tights look really cool and it looks like him in the face.

Dean or Bandalero ? one of you guys made a Ric Flair Fix-up with the Red,Green,Black and Blue Attires, one of you guys posted pics a few posts back. Can one of you guys repost the fixed-up Flairs? I don't know who one posted it. But I'm pretty sure it's one of you guys, Dean,Chinese Chicken,JuiceWinslow and Bandalero in are my top 4 fixer-uppers here on this thread lol, so I'm pretty sure either Bandy or Dean for sure,since Chinese_Chicken sculpts, while Juice is just a simple fix-upper
Dean awesome stuff with the Nexus Elites I would try and do the same only if I had some extra parts :l
Fave liking the fix-ups bro, I need to find myself a B10 HHH Head to do that fix-up as well

Thanks , I just used a very fine tipped paint brush to paint those , im really happy with how it turned out . Ive been avoiding making a dino bravo for a while because ive never seen a face that matched his well, i think this is it

Fave, I just did that same head swap on my Elite Bryan. Cool. I really like the Jericho fixup. Good idea. I will probably borrow that one from you. ![:D](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/grin.gif)

The head is from the Summerslam Heritage or Basic 10 wave of figures.

I'll get one of those and replace the head on mine. Don't the heads come of/go on the same way they did on Jakks figures?
