Not sure how I feel about this. Still needs cleaned up a bit, but here it is anyhow...   It's the hair from the Jakks Windham added to the Mattel Windham. |

While I'm at it... Sasha Banks head swap...  Had to pull apart the hair from the one side of the head just enough to get the glasses on. |

The Windham looks good so far. I just think the hair needs to sit lower, because the head looks a little long now. A little less forehead and it'll be much better. Maybe not the forehead, but rather just the back part of the top of the hair is to high if that makes any sense?

Hi guys just wanting a bit of advice re painting. I've been filling some gaps in my collection recently and have just picked up a Series 3 Shelton Benjamin. The figure was in good condition, played with but all of the scuffs came off with a pencil eraser. Only thing is scuffs to the hair has removed some of the paint.  Any advice in how to fix it, type of paint, brush etc... Has anyone fixed up a Shelton Benjamin before, can anyone suggest the best colour to use. Would you recommend repainting the whole hair or just touching up where it has worn? Sorry for the noob questions but I have never painted a figure before and have zero art skills, willing to give it a go though. Cheers in advance The cheap (like a dollar per color) acrylic paint that comes in little bottles at either Walmart or like a Michaels or hobby lobby works great. As for brushes you can also get a set of 4 at Michaels for pretty cheap, or you can spend more money for finer brushes. It's all about personal preference, good luck! |

Some quick fix ups on E44 Sasha. Not sure why they gave her red sunglasses and reddish/brownish hair.  |

So a quick question. What base body would be best to use to make a Mike Awesome? I was considering Sid but wanted to get some feedback.

Has anyone tried this headswap on the Mattel Elite Owens yet? Do you know if the final product for those figures has the head and neck connected like that or if they're easily able to switch out like Ruthless Aggression figures?

Amazing work all-around as usual. I love coming here for inspiration  I have a question for you guys... What is the *BEST* printer for making decals? Waterside decals, and the sticker-type decals (that Dean used to sell for Brock Lesnar figures). But waterside spwcifically... everything I've seen has been highly expensive, and at this point I would consider it a business investment... being that I am practically disabled. Furthermore, if this is something one can answer: what is the best method for creating figure clothing? I want to pick up where my Asian friend left off when he shut down his shop... and I need to know what I need to acquire to produce the quality of figure clothing as well as he did. Any info would be appreciated. I don't know how many of you know my very personal story, but I have been through a lot in the past 4 years... this is my only source of income, and it's very sparce. I would love the opportunity to expand my business and help out my fellow customizes with affordable decals and figure clothing. Thanks again, hope all is well, and take care. Keep pumping out these awesome customs/fix-ups. I've been lovin' it from day one. |

You make a good point about the torsos but DH Smith is too expensive so I won't be able to get him. I think I may go with Sid anyway since he is the cheaper option. Thanks for trying to help though.  |

jfinnomore ahhhhh gotcha. I thought they took the attire from that WWE photofile. Makes sense now, but I do enjoy the pink hair/white shades look a little bit more.
