@ Dean - you should use Apoxie Sculpt to fill in Melina's head. Google it. They make different colors too, but you may need paint her scalp. It works awesome and is really easy to use.
It's a little expensive but it's worth it.

I've got the furry boot covers on my Brody but I think I like the Melina covers better. Are you going to paint them? Maybe a gray dry brush or wash?

Dean, I use Aves Apoxie. It's a 2 part apoxie that air dries after 24 hours and has good workabilty. @ Dean - you should use Apoxie Sculpt to fill in Melina's head. Google it. They make different colors too, but you may need paint her scalp. It works awesome and is really easy to use. It's a little expensive but it's worth it. It looks like you both are suggesting this. I looked it up and watched some YouTube videos on it. It looks like the route to go. Thanks guys! I'm looking forward to seeing the final product. I should have it finished by the weekend. I've got the furry boot covers on my Brody but I think I like the Melina covers better. Are you going to paint them? Maybe a gray dry brush or wash? I'll prob just leave them the way they are. I like the way it looks, but I'm not 100% sold on them.  |

Here's an older one I never posted. I put the Wrestlemania 26 HBK head on the Elite 3. Looks much better.

Hehe I'm definately going to do this though when I get the Rock, might go tomorrow. How easy was the torso crack and does the Rock head sit high on the neck for the WM figure as some other persons pictures show it like? |

It's pretty easy to crack the torso, just have a sharp knife(stanley knife preferably), and flat head screwdriver. Boil water and put figure in water for 1-2 mins, remove head and arms, then slice the top of the neck both sides, then screwdriver behind the shoulder and push back and it should crack easy. The neck is quite high on the neck |

Ah thats a shame, I do actually prefer the Legend head but whatever one fits better will be what I go for. Cheers for the tips on cracking.  |

@ Dean - I think I prefer the Jakks boot fur over the Melina ones, but some paint might take care of that. I do like the idea of drybrushing a little gray (or maybe some light brown) on them.

So I just attempted to do a headswitch with the Vince McMahon figure. My plan was to make a DX/nWo version of Rick Rude. With briefcase and all.  Doesn't work. The Rick Rude head sits so far down on the neck that it looks like he has no neck. #fail |

Take a cotton ball and tear a small piece off and stuff it up inside the head and then sit the ball joint down on it. Might raise it a little bit. id love to see this if possible, sounds good |

Aside from the head, I love that Brodus. I would prefer an angrier scan though. Don't know what head I would use. |
