Anyone know if the DM USA Sting has ball joint legs? It does not.

I've pretty much asked this before but has anyone done any fix ups on the E38 Bradshaw? Would love to see your results.

Couple of Heenan fixups using DB yes hands. That's genius. This is one of the very few times I feel the extra hands are worthwhile. Now to find me some...

*sigh* Time for the semi-regular request to keep us from having to scroll for days and days: don't quote a wall of photo's in a reply to say "Looks good" or "Whose head is that?" or such. Tag the OP and ask your question. Thanks. For the sake of convenience, I wish there was a tag option next to quote and like (for desktop users, at least). If everyone would take this request seriously and do your best to not quote a wall of text/images going forward, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks guys. P.S. Spoiler tags work just as well as tagging someone. Just add a spoiler tag to the person's text you're quoting, and that way it won't stretch the page for everyone else.

Sorry for the potato quality (didn't want to post 7 individual photos), but here's a few part swaps I've done in the past few months. E66 Kevin Owens with E61 shirt and shorts. I was so happy E66 Owens finally gave us smaller arms and a not painted black torso. Random elite Daniel Bryan. E20 Jericho with EM Bobby Fish thighs. My Fish broke so I put his legs to use. Prefer Jericho with the thinner legs as it matches the time period, and the extra paint above the knees can pass for the bigger pads he was wearing then. Debut Rumble Styles. E47A with E51's head. E56 Styles with E66 head. FC2 Bryan with a headswap. E66 Owens with E47A shorts. Really hate the blue "K" and "O" shorts. Also never liked Owens in kickpads.

Approx how much should I trim off a standard pair of subglasses arms to fit DM Bret Hart?

This is my latest piece. Like many here, I bought a Kerry back in 2011 to make into Hogan, and never got around to replacing him. I ended up using the hair for another custom, so I ended up using the Ultimate Maniacs DM Warrior hair for this one. Body is E45 Luger with HOF Warrior pads, tassles and boots.

I got a spray bottle of alcohol I blasted an elite 31 Vader with then wiped down with a damp paper towel. And after the fact I was like uh whoops. But Everything looks good so far. Maybe a little dulled/faded plastic idk that could just be paranoia

Might as well share this as well - AEW Jericho. Was originally going to do a Repo Man from a old Smash fodder head I had but after removing the face paint I noticed the uncanny resemblance to current Jericho and couldn't resist. I can see that being used for Gangrel too.

Will Cody Rhodes upper legs, fit on Stone Cold thighs? Will there be a gap?
I want to beef up my Stone Cold, but I don't want to crack the torso.

TheBadGuyChico I think someone said there’s a way to pop the ball joint legs on ratchet hips. I’m not sure if it makes the legs loose though. That’s my biggest gripe with stone cold figures, his legs are anorexic. He should definetly have the Cody legs.

That’s my biggest gripe with stone cold figures, his legs are anorexic. He should definetly have the Cody legs. So the thighs are different sizes? Not as simple as just popping things from the thigh down? I'm using the RSC SCSA, so I doubt it has ball jointed hips.
