Finally got around to doing this: Base Figure: Defining Moments Hulk Hogan - must paint trunks (could not find anyone else with the exact size, shape of Hogan trunks in solid white, everyone was too skinny, JYD a little pudgy) Boots: Elite Series 33 JYD - must remove decals on boots with a sock and clear nail polish Knee Pads: Basic Series 49 Bo Dallas * You have to paint the trunks ( I always recommend spray paint) - Use Scotch Blue Painters tape- Use Krylon CoverMaxx - Flat White (not Matte, Satin or Gloss) Let it dry for at least 2 hours Once paint has set - Use Plaid Patricia Nimcock Clear Acrylic Sealer - Matte (not Satin or Gloss) Let it dry for at least 2 hours, apply a second coat, 2 hours later you should be good to go. Remove scotch blue tape Grab a hair dryer and heat up the top of DM Hogan's yellow boots and pop them off. Remove the Red knee pads as well (heat them up if necessary) Grab a hair dryer and heat up the top of B49 Bo Dallas' boots and pop them off (save these for JYD). Remove the White knee pads as well - Bo now becomes fodder. Install White knee pads onto DM Hulk Hogan (heat them if necessary) Grab a hair dryer and heat up the top of E33 JYD's white boots and pop them off. - Any Brand clear nail polish for JYD's boots (decal removal) Remove decals from JYD's boots using clear nail polish and an old sock (repeat until clear white) Heat up the top of JYD's boots again and install them onto DM Hogan! Heat up the top of Bo Dallas' boots and install them in JYD, not perfect but a more accurate height. Toss Bo in the fodder bin. End result

Now I may have been able to use Lex Luger's all white boots, however I cannot confirm that he has the same size boots as Hogan, like JYD did. Can anyone confirm this?

Also I chose not to just spray paint the boots as well due to possible paint rubbing. Wanted to make his as articulated and pose-able as possible.

The only people with all white boots that are the same size as Hogan are Honky Tonk Man and nWo Macho Man. I've had this idea for a few weeks now, I just haven't put all the parts together yet.

I'll confirm this statement and add a little info: Both boots are tall, but those like Hogan, Razor, Honky, Macho and the others with that mold have shorter and fatter calves that fit that boot. Lex's is a bit thinner at the top, and are designed for guys with taller but skinnier calves, similar to those that Cody, Dolph or HHH have.

Sweet idea. I might try this with my HoF Hogan to turn him into Hollywood. On a few side notes, first Hogan with the tape pic looks like he's doing the orton pose and second, the first time I saw the pic I thought it was a Xmen Beast custom.
