Bandalero so the elite 70 Vince legs are not with the BAF connection, right? Plus, what legs are those maroon ones you put on it? BAF Commissioner Michaels? Damn i can't stand the height of that Vince and i have to do something about mine.

Yes that's Commissioner Michael's brown pants. You definitely have to Frankenstein the torso to put in a BAF connection, but then you can do stuff like this: "Welcome to the Bruise Cruise!"

Thank you so much my friend! So i can open the lower torso and stick the BAF connection piece in it and it will fit without any molding? Sorry for keeping asking but never done it before and it would help me a lot fixing a lot of suited figs.

It’s not a perfect fit but the jacket hides any imperfections. As for the jacket, soak the figure in hot water and pop off the arms so you can stretch the jacket over the shoulder joints to take it off for access to do upper torso splitting. When you reassemble push the frankensteined torso down through the neck of the heated up jacket and stretch the jacket sleeve holes over each of the shoulder joints. I think I’m keeping Vince with white pants, it pops the collar off nice!

Not sure if this counts as a Mattel fix-up or not, but I used Mattel knee pads and Hardcore title for the OG 24/7 champ

Hey all. It is my first time I gonna try a fix-up. I have question: If I want to fix Tomasso Ciampa's height, can I only swap legs between him and Orton? that will fix the problem? Link for the picture: imgur.com/K3qpX74(p.s - why I can not see the pictures that I upload? from which site do I need to upload images?) Thanks!Anyone..?

You could swap at the thigh as I don't think Orton has ball jointed hips. People have been using HOF Flair and E59 Ryder. I personally don't think the Ciampa figure is that short as he's short in real life. I think the figure is ugly as all hell when these "height corrections" have been done. But that's just me.

The Bobby roode leg swap is your best bet you can grab the survivor series roode from your local big lots and your golden the skin tone is almost spot on .

And I am not s fan off the Roode legs either. Because I feel those are to thick for him. Sure Ciampa is cut in real life, but he’s very lean. I gave mine the Flair thighs. The skin tones match. It puts him in the right height range and keeps him lean. I just wish I could find a pair of the original Orton arms in his skin tone to give Ciampa.

Keeping this here for fix-up posterity So this has really bugged me for some reason. I get that Vince was a last-minute addition to this wave to compensate for Ambrose but c'mon MDT enough with your SPREADSHEETS!!!! *** Warning *** not for the faint of heart. I realized he needed a BAF lower torso to use the shorter suit legs; so I took it upon myself to split the torsos of a spare BAF I had and the E70 Vince. So with the lower torso replaced with a BAF connection, I can easily mix & match trousers. The jacket is rubber so a dip in hot water makes it manageable to get off the figure. Now Vince has a much more manageable height, better matching clothes, and brings this figure way up in my personal all time favourites Sweet fix for McMahon. But I can’t ignore that Hogan lol, always loved the sheik torso for Hogan!
