No Problem GK I find lots of cool stuff out there and just found two directors chairs for my pipers pit set ! Well I was as patient as I could be but I finally called the Wall Graphic crowd guy and it was so much easier over the phone though he might only be able to do it 19" high instead of 20" but it looks pretty good as nobody in the first few rows are tall than 4" and the guardrail in 2" high so it should blend ok depth wise .

As I start to rebuild my collection I will have to find a way to get customs made as I have 0 artistic skill Me and June disagree on this but then again not many have his skills as some of his stuff looks better than real jakks and I would go crazy trying to do what he does So I try to Limit my modifications and keep the integrity of Jakks CS pieces to simple things like making a bald fuji , shortening Managers and simple paint jobs though I might try modding Hercules hair with a dremel tool and darker and even simple little mods like switching a head are fun though I really need to heat them up more as my Mcmahon/ Buffer announcer mod almost was ruined ha ha . Update: I was able to re order my crowd wall graphic in proper scale as my ring theme will be SNME though visual had to suffer a little but I wanted that field of depth anyways so hopefully its not too pixilated and you know since cutting down on playing Goal on the Ice Im having just as much fun collecting these and I dont see me losing interest anytime soon and I just started watching SNME episode 14 dvd and I found a great guy for Superstars and wrestling challenge complete so Im set for life as I hate most everything on TV/cable these days though Breaking Bad was one of the best ever and Batman Arkham Origins will be out the 25 th ! Sorry for the rambling but there is really a lot you can do with mixing and matching parts , a dremel , elmers paint pens (no prime needed) and some custom gear from the tailor who I think I P.O from being too honest and I'll post a ton of collection pictures soon so hang in there and work on your collection quality and not just quantity and save searches on ebay as I made a rule accept for a few pieces ( Hulk , LOD , Hart foundation , Andre ) never pay over $10 for a figure and most were NIB as I bundled and wheeled and dealed and Im right around 100 in a month and Im pretty much set now accept for cheaper fill in figures , so find guys who will work with you .

Hi June , My crowd should be in next Tuesday but I was experimenting with the Blue mats and I cut one of them in 4 sections like real mats and it looks great (realistic) instead of just a big one nd I taped the bottom so they dont move , have you done this ? . Im gonna do a US Express as I like the 80s Tag teams , What body can I use on rotondo ? and Im gonna paint un with Red white and blue sweatbands , thanks.

I made my US Express figs out of some Pipers that I didn't need anymore.

No the boots are painted as well.
As for using a Macho head on a Jakks body, it just does not work, even the slightly larger new head looks funny on a jakks body.

Hey June , heres the mat mod pics the first one with SNME sign is where I put random pieces of blue mat and the other announcer side I put the mat in order , so as you can see the random not in order pieces give better depth and realism near perfect dont you think ?

Thats a head sculpt that was spearheaded by Warsman. He got her to sculpt it, along with a Owen Hart head.

She makes all her heads for that size doll, however Warsman was able to arrange a special Jakks scaled sculpt. I actually own one, and used it for my Macho King custom.
