I wish Mattel would've just made Snuka barefoot to begin with, but I've given up on them ever re-releasing him that way so I took matters into my own hands. I gotta say, Shoe Polish never ceases to amaze me. Added some black KneePads. I may try painting the things around his ankles later... ADR legs with Kevin Von Erich shins and feet.

What's the deal with this shoe polish stuff I've been hearing about? This is like the 3rd time I've seen it mentioned, but I haven't noticed any in-depth discussions about exactly what you guys are doing with it to get these results.
Anyways, that looks really good Dean. This is definitely what Mattel should have given us.

How do you use shoe polish? Rub it on with an application brush~wipe off access. Add multiple coats depending on how dark you need it.

Looks great. I wouldn't mind them releasing another Snuka that looked like that.

THat looks awesome. Exactly how i wish Mattel made it. Its so sad my collection will never see this figure. THought about doing a custom but idk. Shoe Polish just seems like it would fade in time or wash off real easily. Does it? Did you use Shoe Polish on the entire body? or just the ankle pieces?

I only used it on the shins and feet. I've used it before and haven't noticed any fading at all. It stains the plastic so I think it's pretty permanent.

Oh my GOD that is sick!
Still can't believe Mattel gave us that other version instead of this one! That is such an iconic representation of him. What were they thinking? He was one of my favorites as a kid. Love it.
