Just because someone does it doesn't mean it looks good or is right. People steal too does that mean it's ok lol no but it looks ok to some people The second one was a joke bro. I do honestly believe if mattel did it everyone would complain it looked awful and out of scale though. |

Ryback elite or basic rvd head and some kick pads Ryback is way too big and ripped for RVD. I agree but I still did it for an easy fix |

That same Mattel Hillbilly Jim body makes for a good WCW Goldberg as well. Just swap out the heads, but you also have to swap out the arms and legs too. I used arms from a Brock Lesnar basic for mine and I get the legs the same, but the boots are a bit bigger than what Goldberg actually wore. Since Brock's arms are huge, I used a Cody Rhodes' basic kneepad as an elbow pad. Dean's Decal sells the Goldberg tattoo for the figure!

I had an extra Damien Sandow Elite 22 so I turned it into a Razor Ramon. I swap the boots out with the ones from Rick Martel's Legends figure and used parts from Jakks Classic Razor Ramon for the vest, head, kneepads and elbow pad (I just placed one of the Jakks over the one on Damien Sandows since it wouldn't fit unless I did). Since I already had used the Hillbilly Jim to make a WCW Goldberg, I used his gold horseshoe chain and put it on the Razor Ramon fix-up. I don't really like it because the torso is a bit small and the headscan that I used had the ponytail. I didn't have the extra part to swap arms and I'm not too familiar with using chemicals to remove the paint, but you should be fine if you know what to use. The only arms that I can think of off the top of my head to use would be Khali's if the skin tone matches. I don't own a Khali so I'm not too sure.

mikey1974 thanx how would i go about making an older looking flair. Just swap out the Hacksaw Jim Duggan's head from the legends line and add the head scan of the Flair's that is off appropriate age. It'd be better if you have/can get your hands on the blue robe that the Classic Superstars Jakks line came out with too! |

Another one that I see people doing is using the Elite Money in the Bank Jack Swagger as a body for a Kurt Angle. Swap out for the appropriate heads and swap arms with ones that are without any wrist tape. The boots can be swapped with the ones from George the Animal Steele. You can save the original arms if you ever feel like doing a Rob Van Dam.

You can use a Brian Pillman body as a base for a Chris Benoit. It's just a simple head swap. Lex Luger can also be made, using a Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff body. Just swap out the head and boots and kneepads and you're done. There is a logo on the back of his trunks that I am not experience in removing logo off figures so I cannot offer any advice as to how to remove that unfortunately.

Grim also posted his formula for a Hulk Hogan. He swapped off the boots with the Macho Man All Stars Figure from a Kerry Von Erich Texas Tornado and simply switched the heads out. You can use the Ricky Steamboat body and swap heads with the Surfer Sting as well; you may want to consider switching the boots with white ones and the arms with Macho Man's if the tan matches.

Ok, this is my last one for the night lol and the easiest fix-up I can think of. If you remove the boots off of a Triple H and replace them with white ones, you have a WrestleMania XX version. This is an awesome thread and I hope it stays alive so we can bounce ideas off one another!
