Is the Kofi/Swann torso harder to crack and put together than others? It’s always issues with it for me. Either the top doesn’t go on the lower half, the lower half doesn’t fully close, the ab crunch is super loose, the gaps are too big or the shoulders can’t rotate without opening the torso. I’ve went through like 10 figures I’ve never had this much difficulty with a torso before
Does anyone have any advice or help for cracking this torso?

They look awesome! Did you use the Hall of Fame Austin legs for Bubba? May i ask you the full recipe for him? Thank you!
Thank you thank you The Bubba uses the head, shirt, and upper arms from his jakks figure. The rest is an austin elite. I connected the upper arm from the jakks to the lower arm of the mattel austin to keep the shirt mold on his arms whilst keeping mattel’s articulation. Unfortunately his arms can’t go down any further than shown in the picture, but I think it looks fine. Rest is mostly paint.

Dudleyz look cool! I would suggest using Kurt Angle milk mania shorts though!

Here's the 1999/2000 Jericho head I painted for a customer, on the Best of Attitude Era. Wagdaddy approved!

My instinct is the beard painting looks a bit too dark/solid/perfect. I think breaking it up a bit with a second significantly lighter tone, painted in fairly thin strokes to suggest texture, would really bring it up another level.

DM Sting head & lower body with UE upper body & feet? I am guessing the UE Hardy’s feet. But which upper body? Yup! Correct on everything, torso comes from NWO UE Macho Man. I knew you'd like this one Like it…No I loved it so much I copied it minus the Hardy toe articulation. lol I also gave mine the UE Triple H arms. Here’s how mine came out.

Has anyone used more proper legs on The Revival or Viking Raider Erik? Looking for parts suggestions.

It matches their body types pretty well and for Cash’s boots I used Sami’s boots. For Erik Jim Duggan’s legs are a good fit I’m not sure if they’re on Ball Joints tho

Might use the same Arn/Tully torso for both. The Stunning Steve legs work? Clearly their Mattel legs are way too skinny on their Elites. Same with Erik and the skinny legs. So maybe I’ll use some Jim Duggan legs, hopefully keeping a decent height. Just gotta figure out the lower legs, as those short kickpads are awful too. Was thinking maybe Elite 59 Miz? Since I’m going with a black attire anyways.

How do the tassels on the sides of the trunks of the WM7 UE Warrior work? Are they molded on the trunks, glued on, etc? Can they be removed, or is there a slot they fit into?

Still need to add the blonde to Rollins hair, but loved how these turned out. Mostly part swapping.

Just the knees? Or are we talking the lower legs with the kickpads? Wasn’t sure that’s work, being that X-PAC has the tights.

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: Still wonder who they were. They look kind of familiar but I cannot put my finger on it.
