Attitude_Era, your Carlito custom is nice! I like the choice for the body for him.
jfinamore, which hand did you use for that Cena's "You Can''t See Me?"
I am surprised Mattel hasn't done that yet... Good idea!

I'm very new to customizing and fix ups, but after seeing some of the amazing things people were doing on here i decided to try my my hand at it too. Torso's were the only part i couldn't swap so after reading the tutorials i gave it a go and have been very pleased with the results. These two figures cracked open straight away and left no gaps, signs or marks. They've been done on here before but i thought if i was going to try it i need a clear idea that the end product will look good. However I'm still finding it slightly hit and miss with torso cracking, these two came out great and popped straight open (I didn't even need a knife for Punk) but others i have tried to crack would not part so easily. I don't know if it's just me or if it's like this or everyone? Anyway here are my torso swap success stories so far, thanks for the great ideas guys.

Just did a quick cody rhodes jacket and need to take a few more pictures obviously but you get the point. Made out of a DM Shawn Michaels jacket and all designs painted on. Oh and I painted his trunks white also, just need to find some good material for the belt to make it white as well

Thank you all very much for the encouraging words. Here are the formulas i used.
Mason Ryan The head, arms, boots and knee pads are from the BP Mason Ryan. CM Punk Elite 11 nexus arm band, and the body is an elite Triple H.
Heath Slater The head, arms, knee pads, elbow pad are from the BP Slater. The lower body is Kevin Von Erich with plain black boots. The upper and lower torso is The Miz.

Apoc that Bulldog is what we should have gotten in the first place - awesome stuff, by far my most favourite from you. Where are the dreads from? A Kofi Kingston?
Loving that Cody Rhodes, but he needs a taped hand.
