Dean, that looks PERFECT! Did you swap it at the thighs or was it a whole leg swap with the cracking of torso etc?

Got "The Enforcer" today. Quick Leg Swap with Cody E13. Wow. Do the Cody legs make him shorter? Love the jackets!

Looks great. I'd try it myself, but I can't split a Mattel crotch piece to save my life.

I'm glad you guys like the Arn fix-up. Makes me more excited to get Tully now. I did the trunks and legs from Cody Rhodes, no trunk split. It did make Arn just a tad bit shorter, but I feel like he needed to be a little.

looks great, if I find another Cody I might give this a try because I got my Arn today and those legs really are too skinny

Lol sometimes I hate when guys fix up a figure like this with someone elses legs or boots or whatever. Most of the time I'll be like 'looks good but don't need to do it myself" but then there's times like this where I wish I didn't even look cuz the $ bills start adding up to my Fix Up list. I'll have to fix up my arn now, he was a big enough guy. They should have given him those legs

that's why I bought two cheap E13 Cody Rhodes just for those leg swaps. Arn's looking great Dean!

Dean - haven't seen this mentioned yet, but kudos to you for pushing Arn's knee pads below his knees like Flair wore his.
All the matches I've ever seen with Arn and Tully had their knee pads below their needs (must've been an 80s heel thing). Makes him look better than how he was posed for the product shots on Mattycollector.

Oh so you printed the AA on the trunks yourself with your press? Looks great. Also did you get the jacket's from Mouth? (And I always thought it was Richie's brother Chuck who couldn't be mentioned. lol)

aw man i just got arn and thought i could swap at the thigh and then when that didnt work (hip joints dont align) thought i could pop hips off the ball joint (but cody and arn have two different t bar hip/side balls. so there goes one arn in the trash along with a cody. good thing i bought another one. still might grab another cody do the dean fix. cause he really needs it. but bummmerrrr.....

I got Double A this morning! I actually like thw original legs he comes with. I wish Mattel would release a Randy Savage with these legs. I always feel like Savage's legs are too big.

I'm not quite understanding this. Once you split Arn's upper hips apart you should be able to put on Cody's split upper hips around the ball sockets. At least the T-bar crotch piece is pretty standard with all figures, shouldn't be different. Looks like I'm going to have to split trunks for both arn and Cody to keep the t-bar intact.
