I'm gonna hold off posting my Beach Blast 1992 Sting as I'm working on 2 others so I will post them altogether. Did whip these up though. Turned out great and I got 2 IRSs and a Godfather shelf warmers off the the shelves at my Smyths too (Lord knows they have enough of them eugh) Might make Val and Bull too if I can work out some heads that don't require too much work. Ideas anyone ? STEVEN RICHARDS THE GOODFATHER I really like your work bud. Very clean stuff. I admire customs that look factory made, you've got a good style. I'm surprised at how well the glasses fit Goodfather's head. I'd love to see an RTC Val. the short haired Jakks head might be a little big, but would work well for that era. Also, not sure what the availability is like for ya, but the white pants from HOF Hart or Heenan would work great for Val. I always liked how he stood out with the white pants when all the others wore black. Thanks man! I have a spare pair of white Bobby Heenan legs ready for Val. As soon as I can work out good heads for Val and Bull they're ready to go. |

Looking to do a light touch up on the HOF m$m beard where paint was missing.
I've not done customs; what paint do I get ?

My Custom ECW Raven: Thanks to Apocalypse for doing the rip jeans effect, cutting and glueing the boots on, and fixing up the headscan. Also thanks to Curbstomp for the shirt and tattoo decals. Any comments, positive or negative are welcome. I plan on making another Raven soon.  |

Also got this custom shirt made for him as well. Which one you guys like better? The cloth shirt or the Mattel rubber shirt?  |

Cloth definitely looks better. You need that flannel that came with the TTL!

How you do switch knee joints where the legs go completely straight and doesn't bend to the left or right?

Do you mean from the knee down to the boot? Is that the part you're trying ro change? The calf? Yes. The knee down. I would suggest boiling some water, stick the figure in the water (from the thigh down) after its nice and hot and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then remove the fig and you should be able to just pop the sides of the knee away from the stem then pull the stem out and you will have the knee down off. Then heat up the piece you want to put onto the figure and just line up the new knee then slide the peg/stem back through the holes. I personally take a phillips + head screwdriver and put it through the knee hole and leg holes to make them open up farther briefly as it makes it easier to slide the peg in and then as the fig cools down the holes close up tighter around it. Be careful it's hot lol. |

little fix-up/custom fantasy gear Brock Lesnar. Basically what he could look like if he never went to the UFC and stayed in WWE. The hip joint swap was pretty frustrating. I had to crack 2 torsos and 2 crotches but I got it and he's fully playable It might not seem like much to many but I'm getting a lot better at this customizing thing. The practice is fun. -  |

couldn't you have avoided the cracking with a simple hip swap? they both have the ball joint. |

No, the ball joints on the UFC style elite are larger than the other balls joints from the WM32 Elite so I had to swap the hip joints out. Helluva job. I probably could have sanded them down if I truly felt inclined but I was wanting to try a Hip/Crotch crack anyways so it worked out fine. |
