I used the search function but can't seem to find it, but didn't someone post the Mickie James Elite with the basic head swapped on it?

I think it's for a variety of reasons; distribution problems with newer figures...like how many armless Commissioner HBKs are out there because Harley is short packed and barely found in the wild? And also, customizing isn't exactly cheap. Back in the day a fix-up with the right part choices from multiple figures would cost upwards of $40 to assemble. Now figures are more expensive and the older ones even more expensive! You and chargrove can sell your customs for $100s on eBay to recoup, but not everyone has your painting skills  A lot of it has shifted over to Instagram. There are quite a few really great custom makers who I've never seen post on this board. Message boards are dying breed for younger people compared to Instagram, Snap, ect. Join our Discord app chat!!! @zombieapocalypse it is nearly 2019 for Pete's sake!!! stay on board the modern day train |

Awesome work chargrove. It's a pity this forum and thread are alot quieter now. This thread used to be my favourite.

You and chargrove can sell your customs for $100s on eBay to recoup, but not everyone has your painting skills I stopped posting fix-ups because it's like pulling teeth trying to get feedback or responses. I'm guilty of not replying myself. When the point is to try to show off and see what people think but that's not happening, seems pointless to post. |

That WM35 Taker head is the cleanest True FX scan I have seen so far. Lucky I was one figure short of free shipping from RSC and I chose that Undertaker for that every reason. It is one of the best headscans ever. |

It's a shame because I used to have fun making them. Also I am one of those with a armless Commissioner Michaels lol |

I also think they could work on making it a simple click to upload photos. Instead of having to go to another site and copy links for each individual picture.

As someone who just posted pictures about a week or 2 ago, I agree. I actually tried to post pictures last night but I kept copying the wrong thing and eventually gave up. |

I don’t know, but it might be a bandwidth issue hosting images on a forum

Can’t believe they released one basic and one elite. Better than both basic I guess and better still at least Nash was the basic so I could do this with wm elite taker:   |

That head also makes that Hall look better. I still don't know why they decided to do Nash as a Basic, would have preferred this as an Elite so much more over the WM19 Triple H. |

RuthlessFigs i agree regarding triple h considering they just released an elite h from that exact era. forgot i swapped nash's head with the fan central which is $23 every where for some reason i actually dont mind the arms and shoulders. they give nash that stronger v shape.i should swap out the hands though

Now that i look at it, i think it might be the hands throwing me off so a simple swap could make the arms look normal. |

Trying to figure out a head that works for Dino Bravo.
Do you think a Jakks Brooklyn Brawler with hair painted blond and stubble cleaned off would work?

Couple simple fixups for the WMX8 Hall and Nash. Gave Hall better knee pads. Gave Nash the Fan Central head and an arm sleeve.   |
