Hey guys, this is my first time on this part of the forum and one of my first times really customizing.
What I wanted to do was make an Elite Flashback Lesnar. I've seen photos on here in the past lately that people made and thought they were awesome, so I wanted to try myself.
Tonight I bought an E19 Lesnar. I had seen people mention that Legends Ax or Smash made a good lower torso for him, so I was looking into buying that loose off the bay and doing a simple torso crack/swap then painting the trunks fully black, etc. But now people are telling me I have to use Zeke's tights to match Lesnar's torso and paint them black? My real question is, can I just do the swap with Ax or Smash and it will look ok or do I really need to find a Zeke just to take his tights and then take the legs from Ax or Smash to make him?
I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on this and I want to use him in some animation work, so what is my best options that don't look silly?
Any help is really appreciated, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Look weird how? Would it look like he has love handles so to speak where his torso hangs over the side or?
I appreciate you getting back to me, thanks.

Yeah I rather use parts that are given already and not have to go through the burden of decals.
I'm shocked like nobody responded to this for a formula for him...

If you're looking for decals , Dean has them on ebay (for the back of his trunks). I'd use Zeke , (not legs) and paint his trunks black . It's your choice because a lot of them fit.

A lot of what fits? I would prefer to only buy one figure to make him than buy 2 elites...but supposedly Zeke is the only one that works? |

I have big zeke trunks I molded and casted in black. as far as demolition trunks they work fine apocolypse did a warlord and use them. they looked fine just because dean said they wont work everybody is taking his word. here is a link to his custom warlord judge it for yor self. hope this helps you decide. wfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wftmattel&action=display&thread=266663&page=3this is my WIP warlord. brock body and my casted zeke trunks. they are not a perfect cast, but get the job done.  |

the lesnar torso IS the zeke torso, so therefore the zeke trunks are a perfect fit.

Thanks, it looks fine to me. I guess I will consider buying Smash then. Thank you. Was about to return Lesnar. |

Just use zeke as the whole figure and paint him skin toned white. pain the trunks black and use e19 brock head. Would look fine for me.

Here is my Lesnar I made before the Lesnar came out. Its a Zeke upper and Smash lower. It works fine. It doesn't match "exactly" but its really, really close.  |

I've done one with a spare Smash for re-sale purposes:  It's the cheapest option. The correct boots belong to E2 Batista which is insanely priced at the moment.   |

Bandy, I like yours that was made with the Smash lower half. I like the Smash boots. I don't think the slight ledge the top of the trunks is that big of a deal. At least not to me anyway. If you really wanted to you could file it down a little.
