You like but they just frustrate you so much !
Mine is The Giant John Studd scale problem aka my white whale ! IMO the head sculpt is perfect , painted chest and arms are great and the tights and boots rock ! but just to be clear I really only like Jakks Piece mods or Ralphs clothes as I want everything to look like a real Jakks figure and its not a knock to all the great modders but thats just me as I even found a great painter at a very fair price to do my favorite Brutus Beefcake but I cancelled it as I would know its fake and it would drive me nuts ! weird huh ?
Well I tried the Andre leg mod for Big John Studd but the legs looked thin , had to add knee pads and the cool 3 blue stars are then only 1 , I then had alot of hope the ralphs cloth pants might fix the thin leg andre mod look and also add some bulk but it just didnt fit right though JoJo tried her best !
Was gonna try the Studd head on a andre body next but the same custom paint issue would arise so now Im even thinking of going back to the series 6 nipple Andre that I dont care for but it would solve the scale issue greatly even though that figure can hardly stand up or straight .
I currently use clear risers on the bottom of the feet and almost did a neck mod where I made his head come of the shoulders and those combined added a 1/2 but once again while it added height Studd had a short neck so I switched it back.
Well thanks for letting me vent as Im very new to the Jakks CS and I think there great and the best hobby I ever had ! I'll post failed mod photos later but has any Jakks figure that you really liked accept for one thing drove you nuts ?
