Even though Hogan looks slightly disproportionate with the HOF torso and DM arms, they both look great.

I would've changed out the torso to something bigger, but I absolutely SUCK at torso cracking, so wasn't going to take the chance. |

Hogan looks great but Mr. America leaves something to desire... can't put my finger on it but something looks off

Hogan looks great but Mr. America leaves something to desire... can't put my finger on it but something looks off oh, I can give you a list! - mask is too big/bulky - arms and torso are too small - legs are too skinny - legs should have more red and white stripes - he wore white boots, not red ...but,alas, the CAW figure is the closest we'll ever get to a factory Mr. America due to the Marvel / Captain America issue. |

LOL! actually, no! the only changes I made to it were painting the mask blue with the white star, and adding the red stripes to his legs ( they were originally blue and white). other than that, the rest of the figure is Mattel factory. so like 90% of the complaints I listed are on them. |

Try putting cotton inside Undisputed Hogan's neck, the head really sit very low. Looks like he has no neck.

LOVING these customs... brother!!  Can I ask: how did you attach the boots on the 2002/03 Hogan? Did you have to cut the end of the HOF figures legs off and glue to boots on? (I'm currently making a similar figure and have come across this problem...). |

I tried with short boots and he looked way too tall. How did you cut the end of the legs off exactly...? Was it easy? |

How did you cut the end of the legs off exactly...? Was it easy? heated the lower legs up, then,literally, just cut them down to a point where I felt the height would be good with the Hogan yellow boots. a scalpel or hobby knife is best, it will cut through the heated plastic like warm butter. |
