Heres a few more Pics to get the thread updated as Im more about quality than quantity for example I hate most of the bret Hart figures face wise and even gear but I really like the all pink with the anvil so I see myself doing a ton more mods switching head parts and the british bulldogs too . Gonna order a blue announcers Table for Jesse and The Gorilla and maybe a few others things . I cant believe I found the fold out table at Walmart for $30 that I can fit two rings on if needed as most were huge I saw ever where else .  |

Nice collection so far. I just took down that WM 2 RSR from my display and packed it away. I really didn't want to but I needed the spot for my '66 Batman collection.

Sure Ill do it tonight but the more I think of it I really hate having to chop things up but I cant keep hunch backing all the managers ! and Blassie hulk was done with good scale depth and everything but Heenan was huge . Ok thanks to PJ's great knowledge Im out another $30 as I got the wrong Bundy ? #$%^&* I thought I would save money on a 3 pack Bundy Sheik and Volkoff but he has no eyebrows and looks like curly joe the second curly and I need a menacing Bundy , off to ebay ........ |

I like the Bundy with no eyebrows, since he had none during his iconic run in the WWF. I agree that the LJN Bundy is still the best representation of him in figure form. The 2nd best was not even produced by a WWF/E licensed company, it's the old Legends Of Wrestling Bundy, I think it looks great, wish it was bigger.

Yes Legend one is pretty good but with that curly hairdo jakks one its rough and I didnt know about the eyebrows and to honest that doesnt even matter but combined with hair I laugh . Im gonna try and find a picture of that old curly joe figure . I mean hes a Icon how cant you get his likeness even close (no versions looks good , Mattel's body lol ) I mean some guys are off in the face like Volkoff but you still know its him and thats why I wouldnt get hillbilly Jim (really bad IMo)and Rude CS I dont care for either face/hair wise but its close enough and then look at the Killer Bees 2 pack and holy crap its nearly to the T including Brunzell stomach and thats whats scary with all the hit and miss . All in all its still a wonderful lineup that will never be equalled . |

I just used a small piece of sandpaper. Worked it until smooth, then applied a varnish to make it shine. I'll take pics and post later tonight.

Well after 20 minutes of buffing with a cotton dremel tool piece that looked like a bullet shape with a tad of grit in it I had it all off but just like the Heenan mod my apparent victory turned into a nightmarish defeat around bundys ears and his neck furter in the back and 2 hours later I have a tad left but it looks good . So later tonight I will get the very lowest grit or a emery cloth and finish the job as that bullet thing removes all the tiny scratches , pics later

Heres my Bundy clean shaving and once again I had almost all the hair off super fast EXCEPT for around the ears and his neck furter area , that little white dremel piece was amazing as it just erased his curly hair BUT I dont know if it wore out as it didnt work the same on uneven surfaces or creases ? So I put a edge on it but I just think it was a tough area so I had to pull out the buffing wheel which work great to keep a smooth shine just like the bullet did but I had to be very careful with a steady hand just to lightly graze the surface . I purposely also went heavy handed by the neck region almost cutting clean shinny patches which I then blended lightly as I didnt want a perfect smooth unrealistic cue ball look and i also cleaned up his ears as they had a glue like crust on them .  |

For John Studd, I got a CS 7 Andre w/ the red boots, painted to skin white and used it on Studd to make him taller. I'll see if I have pics.
