Nice fix-up! Are the legs from the basic release and if so, how did you get them onto an elite body? How is the scale too? The legs are from the Basic, yeah. The height is pretty much the same as well. To get the Basic legs off, you need to heat up the knee joints so that you can prise them apart. You then need to cut the peg (as it's actually a part of the mould now) and carefully slide the legs out. Unfortunately, the hole on the Basic knee pegs are nearly twice the size of Elite pegs, so what I used was a cotton bud (I think you call them Q Tips in the States?) - I just slid it through the legs, then cut them to size. That is impressive! |

You could get a nylon nut at the hardware store ,file it down to fit in the hole and drill it out to have a bit of a better fit .

Random question, but is it pretty common for the Ringside Exclusive DX HBK fig to have a vest that doesn't want to completely stay clasped?

Does the Scott Dawson elite have the same skintone and scale as Adam Cole?
I'm looking for guys like the parts as elite Adam Cole (in his skintone), but I can only think of Johnny Gargano's HOC figure, hoping there's a cheaper figure around.

Thanks to plastictaxicab I was finally able to complete a custom set of The Rockers that I always wanted to have on display with the originals.  |

The Dave Rockers look great! Did yo switched the calves of Marty to shorten him a little bit? Maybe Sin Cara ones?

If anyone has the two figures - how does Don Muraco's tie-dye tanktop look on Dusty Rhodes?

Can anyone tell me if the yellow on Hideo Itami's kneepads matches any other figures with laced yellow boots? Hoping it matches pretty close with one of the Savage elites, either the All Stars or Defining Moments. Thanks in advance!

Which Roman Reigns elite has the complete Samoan tattoo that connects with his arm without any gaps. So it looks like one complete tattoo. Thanks for any info.
