hi everyone. I'm n2jib here 29 33 years old guy from Singapore. Started collecting wrestling figs again on my honeymoon trip last year. Previously collected lot of hasbros and some toybiz wcw figs. Wanted the jakks finishing moves series but never came across them here. Didn't like the RA and DA body types though. When i saw the mattel elites i really love how realistic they look, especially with the accessories, clothes and belts. So i figured since i'm married, i would rather spend more time at home rather than out riding my sportsbike, so i decided to take on this hobby. Boxed figures are quite expensive here. around (SGD) $50 for elites and basic rings $30+ for basics and flexforces. Whereas my ideal price should be below $30. So i always try to find loose figures.
Figures have been cheaper now. $20 basics $35 elites $40 DM. Been lurking this forum for nearly a year now, benefitting from your guys excellent posts, fixups, customs and ideas. enough of myself.. here i will share my fixups. olympic hero and rabid wolverine my fave 90s wrestler hbk terribly painted owen hart. (think wwf game on the sega genesis/snes, where the wrestlers are not too detailed nor realistic but still you can make out who is who) hunter and the bad guy the bad guy upclose

Nice work. Those fixups must have cost you a fortune to put together considering the prices where you live.

Nice work. Those fixups must have cost you a fortune to put together considering the prices where you live. thanks. yes so i usually go for loose figs which price can start as low as $10 for 3 figs (thats the lowest anyway), $5/$8/$10 per piece and so on.

I do like the Hunter, Razor & Owen. All came out very nice. I had started making an elite styled "classic" HBK out of Steamboat & the RRH HBK, but never finished because they showed the E19 HBK a couple days after I started it. lol

first of all welcome to WF. I plan on doing the same Benoit custom that you do, that headscan is amazing. The other customs/fix-ups look good too
