Hello Everybody. I thought I would turn to you experts for some input. I'm looking for a inexpensive but accurate option to make a Owen Hart.
I'm thinking Kevin Von Erich's head, Jack Swagger's Basic Series 2 for the rest of the figure and then I need someone (preferably inexpensive) that does not have wristbands or gloves since Owen wore neither for an arm swap.
I have not done anything like this since the Jakks Bone Crunching action days so I guess I'm wondering, is my thought process above correct?
Is it terribly hard to swap out arms from a basic with another action figure? Is there another inexpensive figure option that someone knows of that does not have molded elbow pads or painted/molded wrist bands?
Thanks in advance for any input. I saw someone's Von Erich head for Owen and thought it was so spot-on that I could not resist stealing the idea.
Thanks to everyone for thoughts and input!

Get some Goof Off from a hardware store and use a q-tip to remove the paint on the hand.

I think using jack swagger will make him very tall.. To get a better height I used jack swagger elite with shorter thighs and a modified older daniel bryan's calves.

Thanks for input everybody. I'm going to try to make this a 'go' with the Legends Kevin Von Erich and a Basic 8 Finlay. I did not want to invest in a third figure for my first custom attempt in a long time and am confident in my painting....I appreciate everyone's input, you peeps are a fantastic resource!
