Out of curiosity, has anyone put the DX Ultimate HHH torso on the UE3 HHH or new Legends HHH? Been thinking of trying it for a while, but haven't had the time. Would love to see some pictures whether it looks good or not just to see what it looks like.

Inspired again by a couple Jakks figures, I decided to make another minimalistic fix-up/Elite Conversion, Tommy Dreamer! Here's how he's looking so far! I ended up buying a pretty beat up Battle Pack Tommy Dreamer a while back, and when I saw the Elite Commissioner Foley I immediately thought it'd be the ideal body for Dreamer. Foley and Tommy are billed as the same height too, so that's a plus for me. May look for a Shawn Michaels wearing pants/chaps and steal the lower legs to give the pants that baggy look, but for now I'm happy. Will definitely be getting a decal for the shirt to finish it off. Probably just the ECW Logo. These ended up being the inspiration, for those wondering!

Misterrrrrrrrrrrr.........! Found the remnants of an early attempted Fix-Up of Mr.Kennedy/Anderson so I cleaned it up, and re-sealed the surprisingly still intact Tattoo decals (From Curbstomp). Misplaced the tights logos/decals, so I'm gonna have to re-up. I'm gonna base this off his TNA run, since that's the collection I'm building towards. I believe that recipe was nearly all of Stunning Steve Austin, just swapped out the boots and added the Jakks DA head. The skintones match seamlessly, so I'm extra excited to finish him!

Super easy, younger AJ Styles. When I was growing up watching TNA, he was always wearing blue tights not too far off from this look, so I figured I'd do the deed and knock this easy, paintless, "custom" out. Just the Legends AJ Head and Arms, plus some extra knee pads on the Survivor Series Elite AJ.

Street gear HHH (legends 20 upper body, WM Matt Hardy lower body). Anyone know if Mattel has released a ponytail headsculpt from around 99/00 for HHH? Trying to go for the look he had on Smackdown after winning his first WWF Title.

Because I figure this might also be useful for other people, has anyone figured out a solution to the staining on UE nWo Macho Man’s arms?
Any UE arms that can be swapped in, or affordable Elite arms that could possibly be converted?
I’d love to do a couple of attire swaps/UE conversions, but Machos that aren’t stained seem to be an impossible find.

I haven't tried it yet myself, but I've read people on the forums saying that putting acne gel on it and putting it in a plastic bag out in the sunlight for a few hours should help.

Quick question, does anyone know if Paul E. Dangerously has the same "fat" suit jacket mold as Paul Heyman, Gorilla Monsoon, etc., or is it the regular one?

Asking here first.
Does anyone know a figure on ball joints that has double jointed arms and a John Cena torso? I don't know if any recent Cenas are on ball joints or not.

The Cena's would work in a pinch but I'd rather have a set of trunks. Basically I'm trying to make a figure that looks like a bodybuilder but has the Daniel Bryan skintone. And no, I don't just mean like a Luger, I mean the only thing he'd be wearing are trunks and potentially a pair of Cena's sneakers. Sort of a proof of concept for a wrestling figure that has entirely changeable cloth goods clothing. I want to make one with the body builder look and one with a Daniel Bryan build.

Do you need the new Cena torso or the old one? The closest I can think of that has the old one is the first few Drew figures after he returned to WWE, but they aren't on ball joints.

I need the one that comes on the NWO Cena if possible. And one of the big necessities is the ability for double jointed arms. As much articulation as possible. I know you can't swap out new Cena arms on old shoulder pegs I've tried
ETA: The perfect solution would be a Goldberg UE figure... except I believe Goldberg comes in Miz skintone not Dbry. (I need the Bryan skintone)

Working on a Slam Master J Elite. Anyone here ever seen a Slam Master J Elite, or even any figure of him. I still need a few things. My first ever torso crack. Hoping to get more into making customs.

Does anyone have a good base suggestion for an elite Sami Callihan?
Thank you so very much for your time and thoughts!

He had a figure we can't mention made. Karrion Kross has also teased Callihan will maybe come back to WWE. So, we may get one, a while from now.
