Fixed up my Elite 19 Shawn Michaels by adding kneepads and coloring the armour. Also added the fishnet in the armpiece. Stellar work!

How about this: Jakks RA26 Benoit head on a Brian Kendrick body w/bigger arms. What doyou guys think? Just put it on a Cena torso. It's perfect. I mean, unless you're going for Benoit when he was 17 years old.

I went with these for my Benoit & more i'm planning to get done. - Steve Austin Torso - John Cena Arms - Christian/Zayn Legs & Boots

It sucks, cause I know there's so many people who do it, and are able to take care of business well...me, all I can do is headswaps, and at times, take a boot off here and there. So I'm limited in what I can do, including splitting torsos, or using different parts, putting together a "Frankenstein" LOL.
I know Kendrick was a shot in the dark, and the pueberty thing is pretty damn funny....I was just looking for an elite with tights on, no tattoos, and a halfway decent body to display Benoit. I guess I'll have ot see what happens, or what figures come out, to make it work.
Thanks all for your contributions to my ideas!

Easiest to do without cracking a torso (but may be a little pricey) would be Legends Road Warrior Hawk with Cena arms, Sin Cara/Kalisto calves and mid sized boots.

No, do NOT use acetone on soft goods. The guy you responded to isn't wrong. I use finger nail polish remover that's 98% acetone to remove decals off soft goods with no problem. Just put some on a rag and then scrub.

Strange. I take decals/tattoos/paint off legs, arms, heads, and boots all the time. Never had an issue. Just never touch the torso or waist.

Would Daniel Bryan 73 arms work for Matt Riddle smaller shoulders

Has anyone swapped Kairi Sane's head onto Io Shirai's body for a heel Kairi yet?

No, do NOT use acetone on soft goods. Acetone eats plastic, not rubber. The shirts and stuff aren't rubber, they're plastic. Just a much softer one. I have great luck with 100% acetone on the softer plastic like arms, legs, heads, plastic shirts, etc. It always eats through torsos and waists on me, or the "harder" plastic.

This is what I used to make my late WCW/WWF Benoit. I found the Hawk figure all beat up years ago at a flea market and finally found a use for it. A possible cheap alternative is also Bobby roode with painted legs. Might be cheaper and once you use short calves I think it looks really good

Put together a ECW/WCW Lance Storm. Head is from Forbidden Figurines. Much like the Owen Hart head, I think it's a good likeness, but scaled a little big for my liking. The rest of the figure is a repainted Elite 74 Finn Balor. I planned to switch out the legs for some white tights and just do a little painting on the hips to merge it together, but between struggling to find legs that fit the pegs, and failing to find a match red paint... I just repainted the entire lower half. Kneepads are from Tully Blanchard. Found the elbow pad in my bits box. Maybe from a Bret Hart. Will more than likely keep working on smoothing out those lines between the red and white. Came out a little taller than I'd like. Based on pictures, I want him an 'inch' or two below Christian, and he'd be right there if not for the larger head. Displaying him on my shelf of Canadian Heroes. Bought some wacky little custom title belts on eBay. Once I get my printer working I'll make little stickers to Canadian the belts up.

Anyone have any good recipes for an updated Mr Brodie Lee? I wouldn't really say it's 'good' but i threw this together as a placeholder until AEW makes suited Brodie. Just a Basic 82 head on a Jakks JBL body. Wonder if flashback Vince McMahon would have worked for this ... just do away w the wwe logo ... the jacket color actually would be something Brodie might wear .... and there’d be some fun irony in the fixup
