Really digging this. Something different. Where did you get the head? It’s a 3D printed from Warsman Edit: stc13 beat me to it! They are amazing. Takes practice to get them painted correctly. It make me never want to make a custom without a 3D printed head now.

Does anyone know if the Jakks Legion of Doom heads work on Mattel bodies, or are they too big? Wanting one of my Mattel Hawks to have his tongue out, and maybe Animal without the grimace face.

I remember Bandalero used a Jakks Hawk head so he would have the tongue sticking out. It didnt look too bad if I remember right.

Im not a Mattel collector outside of Retros and a handful of Basics/Elites.
Can someone tell me if they made larger hands that I can use to swap for the undersized one on all the Andre the Giant figures?

Repaint of a Custom from eBay (It was cheaper to buy a premade headswapped custom rather than buy the HHH and Vince figures separately. ((Forgive the sloppy paint job. I'm still new at this))

I'm still new at this)) It looks good. Which jacket did you use? One good tip is to thin the paint using water in the palette, it takes more time but you get more even coverage with the paint.

Has anyone tried putting the old basic Hurricane head on the new Elite body? Wondering if it needs any modding.

Yeah, I know mentally to thin the paint, but my horrible impatience keeps me from doing it fully. I do thin it a bit, just not enough. Also... I lack the proper tools to customize to the fullest. I have to physically hold the figure in my hand the entire time I am customizing it. This leads to rush jobs as my hand and arm get weary from holding it for hours at a time between coats of paint. I really do need to invest in a table clamp. And suggestions for budget-friendly options are appreciated. And as for the recipe, it's just a straight up HHH/Vince headswap. The jacket is just sliced open.

I dont use a clamp, I paint by hand as well, you maybe better served using the boil and pop method for the various bits, eg. arms, jacket etc and then just do it a day at a time, you need to let the paint dry otherwise it kinda clogs together

For anyone who has made a custom Hogan using a JAKKS head, is there any modding required? I have zero skill in that area but if it's good to go as a boil and pop, I've got a line on a cheap head in good condition.
Thanks in advance, especially if anyone can provide pictures!
