I am too. I got like 4 TT Seth’s Do you guys have a pic of the elite 57 with the new TT headscan without the vest? The only thing that kills me about the attire is the ugly inaccurate gold they used. just like “”””””””gold”””””””” standard Shelton |

Two Shawn Michaels fixups i did, both heads makes these figures look 1000% better than the actual release. Hey Mattel, you want to know how to make an accurate HBK? Use heads that actually look good and DON'T GIVE HIM A PALE FACE WITH BRIGHT ORANGE HAIR OR AN AWFUL PONYTAIL HEAD WITH DARK BROWN HAIR. - For the DX HBK i used the Basic 4 head. Even though HBK didn't have 5 o'clock shadow in 2006, this head looks perfect on the body - For the Elite 3 i used the WM26 Basic head. The WM26 head works perfect for any post 2007 HBK, this one looks much better on the Elite 3 rather than that ugly mess they gave him.  Simple Finn Balor fixup, i wanted less rainbow on him so i swapped the boots and kneepads from my broken RSC Balor. Looks much better and the kneepad gives it a nice touch. Any who attempts this swap or any kickpad swap, it's an F***ING battle to get the kickpads off... Thought i was going to rip his knee apart while doing it, thankfully it worked out good.  |

Quick fix up using the BOAE Triple H. The wash on the jeans makes it look so much better than what was originally shown. Finally have a good use for the DM jacket without having to use those weird cloth jeans it came with.  |

RuthlessFigs I know right. I just swapped out the kneepads from the WM basic 'gold' Rollins onto the E57 so they are open at the back, I thought I was going to shred the back of them trying to pull them over that ridge on the boots. I've noticed AJ has the same boots but shorter meaning it's no problem adding/swapping pads but as for Rollins cos of the boots - it's a pain in the ass!

The old Stone Cold colored jeans seemed to match well in pictures I've seen before, but this is the first time I've seen someone use the BOAE jeans. |

Also with the jeans having the wash and the vest just being a solid blue they aren't an exact match but I feel its passable. |

Hey, gang....How do you remove custom paint done by a previous owner....while maintaining the factory paint underneath?

Hey, gang....How do you remove custom paint done by a previous owner....while maintaining the factory paint underneath? There’s a method you could try, I can’t guarantee that it won’t effect the factory paint. So I would test it out on a figure or part you don’t care much for. There’s something you can get in the automotive department at Walmart and probably other stores as well, called Purple Power. Its in a big purple bottle. My brother works on model cars and uses it to strip paint off of some that were previously painted but didn’t turn out how he wanted. I had an Orton figure that I let soak in it for a few days and he came out fine. But I haven’t tested it on other than that one figure, so I can’t guarantee it won’t effect the factory paint. |
