Is Elite Tito Santana on ball joint hips? And if so would the NXT Elite Andrade legs fit on him?

Oh my goodness that's beautiful. From my favorite match ever as well. I... I need one of those. ASAP. I may have to stand outside of Mattel's offices with a sign card until I get one. *Wipes away tear* It's just so pretty.

Anyone have tips on sealing knee and arm joints? I’ve used mod pudge and applied a few coats but when I move the knee the paint still scratches off.

Also, you should remove the knees/elbows and sand the joints down a little, to take the friction off.

Hey, can anyone give me a heads-up on what the minimum temperature is to use spray sealer? I don't really have an option to spray it indoors. Also, how does one actually do it? Do you hold it and spray? Do you set it against something? I haven't used spray sealant since college, and that was for 2D artwork. I just need to know, as this is the first time I will be trying to use the spray on a figure. It's not too hard. Tape off what you don't want spray on. If you want to spray the whole thing, you can do 2 different ways.
On some of my customs, when they involved a lot of paint, I would spray them before reassembling. Like calves, I would put a stiff wire through the joint or around the peg that fits into the boot. From there, you can spray and not worry about it getting all over your hands or you could wear gloves.
I don't like spraying with the item against anything. It doesn't really allow you to get good coverage from all angles like a wire around certain parts. Then you can hang the wire on something so that it doesnt touch. The key like any painting, is to go slow and spray lightly. Keep the can far enough way that it doesn't spray on thick.
If you're spraying a whole figure, I always worked on mine in halves. I would tape off like maybe the bottom half first and spray the top half. Then you can stand the figure up on the boots while it dries. Then, tape the top half and spray the bottom half. You can still stand it up unless you had to have some paint on the bottom of the boots. Read the can for temps, it should say. I would say between 60 and 90F would be good temps. Another is humidity, don't spray if its really wet outside. Or unless you have a nice dry decently warm space.

WOW does a tiny bit of dry brush make a world of difference! (I have bad lighting that's washing it out, but it does look a million times better)

Edge custom, I should probably touch it up a lot but I think I’m done. I had fun.

“This rebel heart!”I had to fix the Elite 70 Johnny Gargano by adding proper kickpads and the RebelHeart logo on the trunks. Details in the spoiler.

Love those managers. Most (all) of them are before my time, but I love manager figures in general. We don't get nearly enough of them (besides BAF which are such a huge PITA)

Amazing work! I’ve been saying for years that this torso needs to be used for a 2004-2006 HHH yet he always gets the ridiculous super heavyweight torso.

Long time viewer and big time supporter of this forum, first post in like 5 years. I swapped out the "ripped" Big Cass torso for an Elite 34 Hogan torso and swapped the ripped thighs out for some thicc ones. Cut up the shirt a little. X Division Champ Daniels is an Elite 5 Ziggler. Toybiz Daniels head and some cut up Rock boots. I plan on swapping the boots because they're wobbly and they make him a little too short. New Japan Mox is a full Stone Cold with some bare arms. The head is a modified Elite 58 Ambrose. All still wips.
