That's awesome dean! Have you tried thinning down his beard? Yes, more like the reference pic I posted? I actually thought about completely removing the black beard all together and repainting it scruffier with medium brown. I think you'd do a much more amazing job than I could. Please post a pic in this thread if you decide to do so. I'd love to see it, may inspire me to actually give it a try.

Got E16 Punk and did the obligatory fix-ups. Switched the large leg sleeves out, added the arm tattoos, and noticed that in MITB he had black Xs on his hands. So, I switched those out to be more accurate, and he can now hold the belt and mic. More then awesome. This is how it should look!

Hey dean, just wondering how you manage to get the small kneepads on? I've tried but they just dont squeeze. I removed the boot and everything, but the small kneepads are still simply too small to squeeze on there :\

I removed the boot and everything, but the small kneepads are still simply too small to squeeze on there :\ Heat them up well and keep rotating them around the bottom/"top" of the kickpads that's attached to the knee joint. Takes a lot of effort, but if the small kneepads are heated up/soft enough, it'll eventually go on alright.

This ^ Plus I sometimes use a toothpick to stretch it around the leg, and then a simple push does the job!

Done that a few times, and ended up with loose knee joints! So, I prefer to have a slightly loose pad than a loose knee

Got King Kong Bundy and overall it's a great figure. There were a couple small things that bugged me though. The kneepads that came on him are way too huge and the missing socks. I also kinda wish he was alittle bit rounder too. I debated on replacing his upper body with Dusty, but I cant tell if its large enough to make a big enough difference. So for now I just replaced the knee pads with some from Dusty Rhodes ones and painted some socks on. Kneepad comparison

Those look great BandyDEAN. Does it change the movement in the knees at all? My rhodes knees barely moved with those pads on them.

"Guess who?" KING KONG BUNDY!" LOL great fix-up as usual, Dean, definitely makes the figure look more accurate. I'm interested to know if the knees are more restricted now as well.

Even though they were such small changes Bundy looks much better now.

Those kneepads make such a HUGE difference on KKB! I am going to have to track down some of those knee pads myself!
Great job...as always.
