Thanks and great custom! I'm afraid to do any painting but would love an official release of this with Hulk Machine and Super Machine. I did Hulk Machine too

Speaking of ball joints, has anyone tried popping the legs of an Ultimate Edition with drop down hips? Theoretically it should be doable, but I'm scared of breaking the joint even when heated up because of how thin it is in comparison to the stem of the traditional ball joints. I've got a few UEs, namely Bret and Rick Rude, that I'd like to tighten up. Yes, target legends bret has ball joints unlike his elites and were easy to pop off.

Just popped off the legs and wrapped the balls in tape, and now the figures feel much sturdier. I know some people aren't a fan of the drop-down hips, but the best thing about them being a thing is that it forces Mattel to stop using those awful ratchet joints on the UE figures.

Looks like it may be Easton brand baseball batting gloves. I just looked up the logo and it looks very similar to this pic. See if you think the same thing I think it's a different brand as these look like arrows almost. But I never knew they were batting gloves so thanks for that! They do look like baseball batting gloves to me so hopefully that narrows down the search for ya some.

I did Hulk Machine too These are great, especially the Hulk Machine. Would be great if Mattel would make one of him, elite would be fine. The parts and accessories you have chosen are perfect: If Mattel does make this, they could add an extra head for this mask:

I did Hulk Machine too Does Hulk Machine have the one-strap singlet? I probably wouldn’t bother with it since I’d just leave the shirt on, but I’d be curious about how it could be done.

Does anybody know if there are Ultimate Warrior thighs in Triple H skintone?
I tried using Triple H legs for Val Venis with Razor Ramon lower legs, and he stands way too tall.

No. Since the shirt is covering the torso I didn’t bother. Perhaps the weasel suit Heenan with leg and boot swap along with swapping out thicker arms could work. Or Lawler with the all black singlet and tights with a boot swap.

Hopefully a last question if anyone can help
Which UE body matches Lugers skin tone? I'm using the DX Triple H body but the shades are just slightly different
