LOTS of fun stuff there, Smash! My favorites are Brad Armstrong (great head choice) and Yoshi Kwan! Does Yoshi have the top knot?
Keep it up man, thanks for posting!!

Looks good, Smash! I always enjoy customs of NWA guys - even those pesky midcarders - Lol! I've got a few of those currently in the works myself - seeing yours may inspire me to get off my a$$ and finish them.
How about a "Flagbearer" Johnny Ace for your Sheepherders? Just think about it, man.

Hey guys. I've recently decided to convert my TNA collection back to RA style and wanted to get some opinions on part choices for fixups. These are all going to be paintless BTW. I'm not going for total accuracy but I would like to get close. I want to give torso cracking a shot but I'm not sure if I can do it right now. Anyway, here is who I am looking to do:
- Samoa Joe: Currently I have a DI5 Samoa Joe head and hands on a Harry Smith body with tall black kickers. He has shorts, but he's way too skinny and he's gigantic. I was thinking of maybe a Tatanka body, but how would I give him shorts?
- Matt Morgan: I have a DI Matt Morgan, so I have a head and arms. Don't know what to do for the body. I was thinking of giving him Big Show legs for height. Totally lost after that.
- James Storm: I was thinking a flabby torso like Regal or Flair but what should I use for the arms and boots?
- Bobby Roode: Not sure what torso to use for this. I have the long haired head but I would like to modify it to give him shorter hair.
- Austin Aries: I'm going to use the RSC exclusive head and maybe the arms but I don't know what else to use. I was thinking of giving him one of those super ripped torsos but I'm not sure.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks. Hadn't thought of Finlay legs. I actually have an extra Finlay too.
For Aries, I noticed he's been looking pretty jacked lately. Would a super ripped torso be bad?

It may just be because of the pic quality, but that Scott Steiner looks like it has an enlarged galoob head on it.

Wow, john, those look great! You nailed those likenesses and attire. That Brody looks much better, is he taller? I can't put my finger on it, maybe it's just the little things, vest, boots, etc. And Abby look 100 times better! The Madman from the Sudan has never looked better!
I can't picture Steve O in my mind, I had to do a quick Google search on him, lol. I really like his jacket attire. In fact I enjoy all your figures that have multiple attires, I don't think anyone else does that, very unique!
Those enlarged mattel LOD heads turned out great, I might need a copy of that Ellering head!
Great stuff buddy!

Bigevil, you never cease to amaze me. First a Ron Tronguard custom, and now....Steve O? How about a Larry Nelson figure for your Stan Hansen to rough up during interviews? Lol!
Seriously man, these are awesome. I may have to add a Baron & Abdullah to my next order once my Paypal builds back up a little bit! And get well soon, my man.
