Finally was able to do this... "Everyone dressed bad in the 90's, so back off!" What do you mean bad?! The leather jacket with denim vest look was BAD A$$! A few fix ups using the ultimate edition triple h! That torso is horrific so swapped it out. You disappointed me. You posted your fixup about 24 hours ago now and you haven’t posted any pics of him with your MSG ‘00 Royal Rumble set you made.

I wanted to love the ultimate HHH as it’s arguably THE quintessential HHH look. Sadly Mattel still can’t seem to nail a long haired HHH sculpt when they do so well on the modern ones. Hated all three of them. To me the r3 is still not dethroned thankfully on this figure it’s now one of my favorite figures. Weird ultimate torso and all

Weird ultimate torso and all Can’t really see the pic to clearly on my phone. Do the skin tones match up? I know when I made my custom Mattel hHh trunks Triple H figures back in 2010 I had to repaint the R3 heads to match the Triple H bodies. The R3 scam is great, but the TTL head uses on his Famous Scenes figure with Cactus Jack is still the bes scan Triple H has ever had.

Sorry about that,being a noob here I can’t figure out why this image is so small when I seemed to have no issue posting big images for my Bret Hart 1/6 custom in the custom forum. Interesting you mention. So the head here is repainted as you may or may not be able to tell which I used to have on my old elite. The skin tone was cooled off a bit to match that body. The thing is when I put it on this it was too cool so I actually stripped the skin portion of the repaint as the base jakks tone matched up a lot better. It matches up 90 percent I’d say. Which was bothering me and I almost repainted until I put back on the heads that came with the ultimate HHH only to realize that those heads matched even less! They match his body about 80 percent. Pretty big miss there Mattel.

gambit944For a quick fix, just add another couple zeros to the link and that should produce a larger image. See placement of zeros in bold: imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1500x100 0q90/923/2uBwHn.jpg Love the swap.

Awesome thanks Chicago for the tip and the fix! PJ I just got turned onto the Famous Scenes/ TTL head per your recommendation and now I think I need to source that one! I'm sure this was covered somewhere in the 700 plus pages but has anyone ever put an R3 Edge head on a classic/ E&C Mattel Edge figure. I never liked that scan and want to replace it but the late Career Edge scans don't work. I also thought I'd share this (excuse the messy pile of HHH's in the background) This is the new Ultimate head on the older HHH Elite. I think that it actually looks better on this body. the head scales much better to it (Man Mattel heads are getting overscsaled these days) Skin tone matches too. I don't hate this head (I know I said I did above there) I just don't love it. swapping bodies here made me like both figures much more (even though I know hair length from the Ultimate is more appropriate for 2002 return HHH) I think I need to borrow Mac's recipe for street clothes HHH because while I like the hat portrait and hat it's pretty random on this trunks gear HHH.

gambit944 That TTL head will be to big for Mattel’s bodies. But it is my favorite Triple H sculpt ever released.

What arms are good to fix the rhyno elite. Any basic arms or what I’m tired of looking at the figure with those gigantic arms.

All these Triple H ultimate figure touch ups and all the disappointment with it makes me feel like I'll just keep the custom Triple H I made. Probably no need for the ultimate version until it goes on sale in the future.

kuleo16I like that. Looks a bit more realistic than the ripped HeMan looking torso that they give Triple H.

Man, this Ultimate Edition line is very underwhelming for the price and those torsos are terrible looking. However, these UE to Elite fix ups look great. Well done guys.

The problem is not the aesthetic of the torsos imo, they need to widen the mid part of the torso like storm collectibles... For those of you who swapped the torso on the ue triple h. Are the heads still swappable with a different torso? Or do you have to boil and pop each time?

I'm guessing that the heads are made of a slightly softer plastic like the BAF heads so they'll swap onto all bodies.
