Shawn Michaels head sanded down. Dean Ambrose torso. Shawn wm28 referee arms. Farrooq legs. Eddie guerrero LWO boots. Brodus clay hat modified using super glue and painted. Worblo for the belt buckle That looks really great! Honestly looks like a Mattel release. Great job thanks very much mate I appreciate that

Started working on some Doom figures, but stalled a bit on the masks and Butch Reed’s head. Either way, I ended up with an extra pair of blue tights from Simmons, so I decided to make a quick Mattel version of my first wrestling figure ever, Galoob Sting circa 1990(?). GAB Sting head repainted, Austin Torso, Simmons HOC lower with Hawk boots. Stands a smidge taller than released figures but near enough. Here is the start to Doom. Mask’s aren’t accurate as they do t have nose holes... on the fence about painting/modding the two masks I have or trying to make some, somehow. Ron Simmons is HOC on Austin trunks, and Farooq legs. I am going to lower the head a bit to make the neck less lanky. Butch Reed currently is a JYD torso with Farooq arms on Farooq legs, with knee pads added. Head is currently Apollo Crews. I don’t care for the smile, but it sits better on the torso compared to the Farooq head. Open to suggestions. Edit: Trying the D’Von head for Butch. Will get photos later

Finally got my hands on this head to make the ultimate Booker. Looks so much better than the original, only thing that would've made this better is if it was his white 'Booker T' attire. Now can you dig that, Sucka!

I sold off all the Mattel jake Roberts figures because I got bored of the head sculpts and thought the figures were too short. The hall of fame one brought me back after I swapped the torso and lifted the head. Then I rebought legends 2 after I got the new Walmart flashback. Here’s the legends with flashback head and boots and Stevie ray knees + lower legs The new head isn’t painted great especially the eyebrows but it is more dynamic than the old one

Honestly I wished Mattel would have going forward, used Narcissist Lex Luger tall boots with the snake skin paint app for Jake because he had skinny shins. His figure has always been "off" to me because his legs are so thick when in reality Jake's legs were spindly.

His figure has always been "off" to me because his legs are so thick when in reality Jake's legs were spindly. totally agree with the luger boots. those boots, like the legends 1 road warriors boots, are criminally underused. anyway ya sorry to wake you up from the matrix lol but check and let me know what you think. everytime i see jake the man he towers over everyone. so on top of the narrow body type/weird original head/wide boots being off the mark, the shortness really bothered me. especially when i look at figures like tito, warlord, earthquake, honky, who are near perfect toy representations. i'd look at jake and just think wtf. same with Sid and that ringside DX shawn. those figures are just so far off the mark, missing essential things. anyway im happier with L2 jake now even if the new head has a goofy non sinister look. it at least looks more like him.

Good find with the Stevie Ray shin, it's the same size as HOF Jake Roberts shin. I'll have to do the same fix up on mine. I can't think of any elites with green pants that match All-Stars Jake.

MKSavage Thanks man! It's the head that came with the mattel barry windham from the four horsemen set; I removed the beard, repainted the eye brows and eyes and gave him the hair from the jakks barry windham! I usually prefer the more colourful attires but I was going for his four horsemen attire this time, he seemed to wear black or red as a horsemen

Lowered Ron’s head with a shorter neck peg which helps. Liking the D’Von head better for my Butch Reed stand in, but may try different torso in the future but not certain. Could potentially cut small nose holes into these masks, but I think I am going to try making some from black Sugru or something similar first

I can't think of any elites with green pants that match All-Stars Jake. the stevie ray color is more accurate to what jake wore too. and ahhhh crazy that hof jake is taller. that makes sense though because in lifting the heads of the other jakes, i was like why do these all seem shorter still?? then even with lifting the head and the stevie shins, the L2 and all of em are too short.

I usually prefer the more colourful attires but I was going for his four horsemen attire this time, he seemed to wear black or red as a horsemen Understandable. You just need to add the vest from the horsemen set to tie the look together. If Mattel makes another Windham, I hope they do what you did with the head, looks more like Windham to me than the ponytail look they made. I think I like the blue tights more because that's how I mainly remember him from the US Express and his early pre-horsemen run with NWA/WCW.

I wouldn’t cut the mask... yeah it’s not 100% accurate but it looks good to me!

aaron34 thanks, I don’t think I will cut these. A little too small of an area for my comfort level. I am going to try molding some alternatives though.
