I ended up with an extra Kurt Angle ultimate- any suggestions on who I make a fix up of using that body? Any comic character from the 1990s.

Anybody custom their Mankind by putting the cloth shirt from the Superstars line onto their Elite? How does it fit and got any pictures?? Fits excellently on the Amazon exclusive. Which is why I'm puzzled af as to why the 3 pack didn't include it. That does look good! Are you gonna swap the tshirts to the previous Dude Love too?

Question for someone who's done an Ultimate swap. When you swapped and Elite to and Ultimate body. Did you find it easier to swap the upper torso by cracking the pelvis or torso, to make it work? I cracked the ab piece. If you turn it sideways and go in through the bottom, you can hide any damage your initial cut may make. Thanks for the advice. Is there a certain tool you use to make minimal damage?

Is there a certain tool you use to make minimal damage? To start with, I highly recommend you wear some thick gloves if you have 'em. I tend to fall back on three specific tools: a very sharp pocket knife, a small flat head screw driver (like the kind you would use on a pair of eye glasses), and this tool that is used to separate Lego pieces. I will then soak the figure in some hot water for a minute of two. Then I'll carefully use the knife on the seam that joins the front and back half together. If the knife doesn't work, I'll use the screwdriver. If you apply some pressure with a little bit of back and forth motion, it should give a little. Once it pops that first time, just carefully pry it apart. I like the Lego separator for this because it's a plastic piece. ManiaFigs on YouTube has some really great videos showing how to do this.

Here's something that's puzzling me - I recently did an Elite to UE conversion, and while I was cracking the lower Elite torso, I popped the legs off. When I heated them up and put them back on, they are now the most wobbly hip joints I've ever seen on a Mattel figure.
Any idea what could be going on there? I didn't do anything different besides heat them up and pop them on and off, which I've done many times.

The best thing you can do now is to put something in the leg hole to tighten it all up.. cotton works but i prefer plastic, ive cut strips off of kneepads to fix that problem

Picked up a bike for taker...it's a touch big for him to sit on and look natural, but it looks way better than the Punisher bike I was using. FYI only used portrait mode cuz the kitchen was a little cluttered lol

Another fix that I probably did 10+ years ago. (The standard E4 head WAS SO BAD)

Hey guys, any idea if there is an ultimate figure out there with the same skin tone as the Buddy Murphy head?

There’s Edge and Finn Balor, but they might be a little to lean for Buddy Murphy’s proportions. After that it’s Cody & Austin (not ripped enough) then it jumps right to He-Man John Cena territory.
