Ok so im planning on tryin my first customs. First i want to change the Lance Cade arms for arms that dont have the shirt sleeves on them. Im going to try to do the boiling method to split the torsos, and then i guessing, since ive never split one, that the arms will fit in a certain part and then you just super glue the figure back together? Another Custom im doing is Razor Ramon/Scott Hall....Ive decided to use Bruno Sammartinos body since it alreadys has the hair and trunks. All i need is Paint/sealer and and Scott Hall head. What head would be best for this?? Should i use an R3 Hall head or maybe the old Razor Hasbro head? Also would i use the same boiling method to remove the heads? 1990s Sting will be my next project...Im gonna use an extra Jake Roberts body and just swap heads and add paint. Im planning on using a randy orton head (short spiked hair) Does anyone know just how hard it will be to paint face and/or the scorpion on the leg?? Thanks for any info or help..Ill make sure to post pics as soon as they are done!

Nice. 1. Boiling the torso won't do anything for it, as the torso itself is made of a more durable plastic than the limbs. You will have to literally pry the torso open. Yes, there is a specific spot for the shoulders to fit. After you're done, you will need to superglue the torso back together. 2. Personally, I'm partial to this Scott Hall head: cgi.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/SCOTT-HALL-NWO-WWE-JAKKS-WRESTLING-FIGURE-SHIRT-VERSIO_W0QQitemZ290005548723QQihZ019QQcategoryZ1 I don't boil, rather I use a hairdryer. Heat the head through and gently pull off one body and gently push onto another body. 3. Which Orton head? On the paint, it depends on how good you are at painting. Getting the scorpion to where it looks good will require a bit of precision. The face paint too.

The R. Orton head im gonna use is from the legend vs Legend killer set. I dont like the figure but i found it at the flea market for like .50 so i bought it. I think once the hair is painted and put on some face paint you probably wont be able to tell....He will just have that crappy smile on his face that the Orton head scan had!! Thanks again for the info
