Used Mr. #1derful 🇵🇸 idea of using Luger boots to fix SummerSlam Edge’s height. I think it looks alright. Had to trim the ends off of the leg pegs to get them to fit in the boots properly. And here he is with other Edges and Battle Pack Christian for size comparison. I think I’ve posted this X-Pac before. But decided to add some Marvel Legends Namor hands to make it better for the pose. Namor seems to be the go to figure lately for some amazing fix ups. Also like what you did with the hair swap on E13 Edge

@aussiedzfan Yeah the Namor hands work for lots of different poses. And the legs work for Snuka.
Thanks, I hated the original Elite 13 head.

Peeps, does the Elite 55 Neville have ball joints? Nope. Had a friend who’s had 2 of them break because of the terrible ratchet joints

But here, someone talked about a fix up to Neville legs, to correct the colour and someone (maybe @pj ?) said the only way to make this fix up and keep the same height would be using the Dean Malenko figure. How can I do this fix up if Neville figure doesn't have ball joints? I tried to only change the upper legs but the joint is different too.

Thanks, I hated the original Elite 13 head. Sorry if I'm being a bit thick here - but isn't the E13 head the same as the Battlepack and SummerSlam one?

The head is the same but the paint apps have been different on each one. I think the Elite 13 was the worst of the 3. The SummerSlam head looks a bit scary lol, but at the same time looks a lot like Edge to me.

Does anyone have any tips for helping decals stick better? It's sometimes hit or a miss for me. How long should i leave them in water for? Max 10 seconds? Minimum 10 seconds? Any tips would be appreciated

I wish we would of gotten a brand new head all together for his summer slam figure... either straight faced or similar to his early jakks ra.

Yeah I think a straight faced head would have worked better for this early time period.

Anyone here use Vallejo’s gloss varnish before? Is it applicable with a brush? Thinking about getting one to gloss up my Dudley boyz boots and fixup a few figures.

Any tips would be appreciated Max 10/12 seconds and apply them 2 seconds after you removed them from the water. If you use mod podge before (on the figure) and after (like sealing) of applying the decal it will stick better too.

If you use mod podge before (on the figure) and after (like sealing) of applying the decal it will stick better too. I've literally just ordered both Matte and gloss mod podge earlier. So I'll give that a go. Was trying to put a chest hair decal I made on a Shawn michaels but it just wasn't happening. It's hard when there's so many grooves and bumps etc

^ It's actually pretty easy especially given the video tutorial above to follow along to.
