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. All this guys posts lol I used survivor series cenas arms for my kurt  I just got back into collecting and discovered fix-ups; its so addicting! Someone could also use the body of the Summerslam 2010 Bret Hart Elite and make a very bland Raven (no tattoos) or a WCW Billy Kidman too. I think Dean has the hook-up on the Raven tattoo decals! |

easiest fix-ups to do is simple head swaps - you just have to pop them off (might have to heat it up a little to soften the plastic).

Elite Ryback would work for any Bryan Clarke besides the Mortal Kombat version of Wrath. Just needs different head and arms, depending on if it's Wrath, Adam Bomb or Bryan Clarke. All three of them wore the same type of singlet and boots, and same overly-jacked physique.

I have a pet peeve that I have to confess, everyone is saying that one of the easiest Fix ups/customs is putting a Jakks Flair head on a Terry Funk body...This is true but please pleas please swap the boots out. Flair's red/black boots didnt look anything like Funks, plus when you have them on display they look like they're a tag team. Get a set of DM Steamboat boots and cut the fin off of them or get some George Steele boots or even use generic black boots.

while not a perfect match,the Funk boots aren't so dissimilar as to not be a viable option!  |

I just did a Kurt Angle, using a British Bulldog Legends figure a the body. I removed the tassles from the arms and boots and replaced the kneepads with the blue ones from Darren Young's Prime Time Players 2 pack figure (I had to cut the top of each kneepad down to shorten it so it wouldn't look bunched up with the singlet. I then used Basic 27 Antonio Cesaro arms and added an old Jakks Kurt Angle singlet. I wanted to do one from Kurt's early days with his hair, but all of the Titantron live heads I used were too small for the body; I was disappointed because I spent money to buy an old Kurt Angle only to find out the head was too small. I then dug up another Kurt with hair to find the same problem. The only good thing about it was that I found some of my old Jakks collection that are MOC and I had plenty of Kurt Angles with the bald head so I just used that instead.

I also did a Chris Jericho Undisputed champion figure. I used a Ricky Steamboat Legends body with Justin Gabriel Basic kickpads; they didn't fit all the way in because it was a basic to an elite, but I used the kneepads from the same figure to hide it as I didn't want to cut into the boots and superglue it down. The body of the figure itself is kind of short and even though Jericho isn't that tall when compared to other wrestlers, I like it better with the additional height. I also used arms from a Miz basic that I wasn't using and added an old Chris Jericho Jakks head.

I just posted a photo of the Undisputed Chris Jericho, Razor Ramon and Kurt Angle in the Fix-Up V2 Thread if anyone wants to see how they had turned out.

The only good thing about it was that I found some of my old Jakks collection that are MOC and I had plenty of Kurt Angles with the bald head so I just used that instead. From what I recall, the only Jakks heads that work are the ones with the ball-jointed neck. They're easy to spot since they have the shoulder as a separate piece, instead of part of the arm like on the earlier ones. Oddly enough, the earlier Bone Crushing ones work as well, and actually has a better Scott Hall head than the later figures do. |

I just got into customizing and I've done a few head swaps and knee pad swaps, keeping it easy for the time being.
