First off I'm thrilled about Arn Anderson - he's definitely an under-rated Legend who not only was a fantastic wrestler, but also has a brilliant mind for the business. His release brings us one step closer to owning the greatest wrestling stable of all time!!!!
So I'm definitely getting two of him for a couple reasons:
1. The way Bill and MDT are going we'll be lucky to get Tully, so I'm grabbing two Arns for the tag belts and selling off those two SD tag belts I currently have on Demolition.
2. Like most of you guys mentioned, he makes a GREAT base-figure for an elite M$M - I have his EG in parts just waiting for a body like this.

Anyone else notice the extended calfs on AA? He looks like the EXACT same body they used for Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and Hacksaw turned out too tall and skinny. Granted, Hacksaw is a bigger guy than Arn, but longer legs will only make him look skinnier. It looks like Funk's body to me. And all boots look like that when you turn them. |

Arn's buck is clearly from Terry Funk not Jim Duggan.
For those who want to do an accurate M$M though, you'd need Duggan's short calves to fit on a Rick Rude's tall black boots in order to keep M$M in-scale. Sure you can keep the calves and use short boots but that wouldn't look right, and if you put tall boots on those calves he'll definitely be too tall.

You could also use an Elite Regal too if you could find it. Probably a little cheaper. |

Another idea if you dont mind one or two less p.o.a is to use the Basic Boots and shins   |

If I were to do it I'd just use the EG figures legs from the kness down and lose the double knees. But I'm fine with the EG Basic styled figure on my shelf. Arn's boots would be good for a Red or white attired Mr Wonderful though.

Arn's boots would be good for a Red or white attired Mr Wonderful though. Use a Kevin Von Erich's base and you've got the red trunks, muscular legs, and Arn knee pads/boots all ready to go. If you preferred Paul with his bigger torso it's a simple torso crack n swap from there. L4 Warrior or L6 Modern Day Warrior KVE would make a nice Paul in white too. |
