Maybe a Kalisto or Rey Mysterio elite might help out with scaling. From the looks of it, the head is sitting too high, so you could maybe achieve a better scale if you brought it down a little. Usually elite heads just about cover the adam's apple with their chins, so if you did that, it'd help.

Was it orange trunks with yellow knee pads and boots or red trunks?
Screen caps and video look like it could be either. Mattel seems to think it was orange based on his Legends figure. I'm lost lol

OCD as a customizer/collector is a PAIN. Well, it sucks all the time, but the way people will say things like "With the belt/shirt on you don't notice". No. You may not see it. But you know it's there and it makes you feel like your skin is crawling every time you see that figure on your shelf and know in your soul it is VERY VERY WRONG. It also leads to situations like with me and the Nation of Domination where I wasn't about to start going for that faction until I knew I could actually get all the members (because incomplete sets are the work of SATAN) and now that we have all of the core members, it's pretty much impossible to go back and complete the set with the super rare ones on secondary. I hate that you know the same feeling, but it’s great to feel understood! Oh yeah. Same. It really does suck though. You have to find ways to make it work. Displaying the figures is also a pain because on one hand the OCD wants you to have a consistent theme but at the same time every new figure would require you to reset everything. So you sort of have to negotiate with your own mental illness to let it so you can 'microdose' the OCD into compliance. Rather than have specific themes for the entire collection, I have set themes for each shelf, subdivided into sections of the shelf. Like how there is one shelf for men's WWE figures but on that shelf, all the members of a stable have to go together on the same row, or if there are three or more figures from the same match they also have to go together. Also. all of my Faces of Foley are on the same section of the same shelf. And then on top of that, for shelves that have a broad theme, such as my three "Women's Wrestling" shelves, the goal is to try and organize them roughly by height so that the taller figures are towards the back and edges while the shorter ones are in the middle. You also have to count them. The same number of figures needs to be on either side of the shelf ALWAYS, although you can have a single forward facing one in the middle. If there is a strong theme for a shelf, such as my Sami and Kevin shelf, there needs to be mirrored and counted vibes. Every other figure needs to be basic/elite or if there is a figure with a belt it needs to match an opposing figure with a similar belt. (This is why I don't have US Champions KO yet. I don't have another Champion Sami to match, since IC Champ Sami is mirroring Universal Champion Kevin.) It's all a process and people will look at my shelves and think they have no order and it's like, NO there is a very specific series of orders that makes sense to ME.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the torso on the UE Rob Van Dam is molded in flesh tone or black?

NIce on Ultimo was kinda annoyed how the recent release felt like an older figure articulation wise.

new ultimate rock has the stupid newer peg setup, so I can't put his torso on my E100 rock legs :/
I know it can be done, but I have to observe/research alittle more how to make this switch possible. ugh

Are there any Elite style figures that have trunks in the same color as gladiator Farooq’s kneepads? I believe Rey Mysterio does, but I’m looking for a standard size crotch piece.
Is Retrofest HBK a match? Maybe one of the Xavier Woods elites?

Gonna need a dremel now If you guys figure it out can you post pictures of the peg and torso. It would be super sweet if someone posted a tutorial video on what to do to fix other trunks to make it work with that torso.

Someone told me the new rock crotch peg is lower than usual like jake and rick rudes were.
I suspect it will need to have a new peg mold made out of sculpt. Unless that trick where the guy dremelled the top of the peg works
I will be working on one of these soon and will be able to confirm and if it needs a new mold for the peg then i will post a tutorial
Also if anyone needs the new rock u.e torso put on any of the old rock lower torsos hit me up in dms

Also swapping E100 lower half onto the new Rock upper. It will work, I'm just engineering the housing a little. I have some pics of during the process. And yes the peg does sit lower than the other UEs with this set up.

Fixed up both UE3 and the legends 20 HHH with the correct elbow and knee pads, as well as the knee brace. I know a lot of collectors crap on the UE3 torso, but side by side I think I prefer the UE3. The proportions work for a ‘99 HHH. I think it’s where they made the torso-cut that throws it off in some looks. I’ve always felt that the elite torso was too big for even HHH, and side by side I still feel that way.
