Odd question, but does anyone know if there's either an Ultimate Edition that has red boots, or a shade of red paint that closely matches what Mattel uses? I normally don't care for the toe articulation, but I'm currently working on a Ric Flair conversion, and he needs to be able to do the Fargo strut. Yes, I have a lot on my work bench I'll hopefully be posting soon. doink

I'm looking to make LOD 2000 customs. But I need clear pictures of Animal's tattoos.
Has anyone got any pictures or could take photos of the Jakks Classic Superstars' figure with those tattoos?
TIA

Been a longtime stalker on this particular thread and love all the great custom work done. Very jealous of the skills some of you have it is honestly incredible how small changes can sometimes drastically improve an existing figure.
Apologies if this has been addressed already, but could I get some guidance on the best way to address the height issue on the new Legends series Mr. Perfect? It seems that most of his figures are too tall due to the lower knee/shin piece. I don't trust myself to crack torsos yet, but am more than comfortable with some light limb removal that involves a little bit of hot water. Are there any recommended figures that have smaller shins that would help shorten this Mr. Perfect?
Any help is much appreciated. 👍

Quick question, what’s an affordable figure that has a ball-joint crotch in the HHH skintone that I can use for UE Sid? I’m saving the UE HHH trunks to fix up with a Flair torso, so I hate to use those.

I’m saving the UE HHH trunks to fix up with a Flair torso, so I hate to use those. If you're talking purely the crotch with ball hips, why not just use the Sid one? Otherwise other crotches with the same skintone amd ball hips are Bobby Roode, Damien Sandow... I'm assuming you're saying that the ball hips and barbell are needing to be in the same skintone, and not talking about the legs/torso? If so, it's barely noticeable when you swap different hips on there.

As to why, I have legit OCD, so it bugs me to death if something COULD be correct and it isn’t. It’s aggravating most of the time, but working in a creative field, it’s also a blessing in disguise sometimes. I’m doing a Royal Rumble ‘92 version as detailed as I can get, FWIW.

Anyone else think that the new Elite Commissioner Foley would be a good base for a current Elite Tommy Dreamer conversion? They're the same height, if someone eventually does this, be sure to show it off!

Silly question I’m sure, but how do the Legends 1 Road Warriors shoulder pads come off? I’m not sure which part is the fastener. I’ve had them sitting on my shelf for years and never taken those off, but now I have UE bodies ready to go (I know I can remove the heads and boots without damaging the original parts).

Is there a particular type of flat sealer you all prefer for figures that have been left shiny from acetoning paint off of the hard plastic?

Old man's lazy Owen Hart fix up...
It's certainly not ideal. I plan on doing a better one in gear eventually, but that takes effort and meh with all that.
