Are women’s basics on ball joints? I’m trying to put B67 Naomi legs and knees onto E78 body?

Nothing crazy but took advantage of the BOGO 1/2 off from Target to convert the Royal Rumble & RSC exclusives into Ultimates. Also added the gold braces from the Then, Now, Forever basic. I know the elbow pad isn’t accurate with the gold but figured I throw it on to give it something different.

That's awesome and exactly what Mattel needs to do. What did you use to remove the face paint? I have trouble getting black paint off cleanly. Thanks! Acetone with Q-tips. Use several, switch often, and do really small parts at a time. Careful to avoid the eyes, and just paint over whatever black is left around them that doesn't look right with flesh color, add the eyebrows.

What's the best type of paint & method for painting hair?
I'm thinking of doing a custom Scott Hall with Grey hair, where he still had a little bit of black/darker tones throughout.

Just my 2 cents worth...I think the R3 jakks Scott hall head is most accurate for an older Scott hall. I used one, it looks pretty good

Though the skin tone is far too off to his Mattel skin tone. I did see someone either here or on Instagram darken the skin tone with i think Shoe polish. Something i may test on a random head to see how well it works and go from there. I do think that head would be great though, i am going for a Ponytail look.

I put that head on an nwo street clothes elite so the skin tones weren't as important as it had a molded nwo shirt on

So my original Legends Vader is missing two small bits of black on the singlet and I'm looking to patch that up. What black paint do you guys best recommend to use on Mattel figs?

"The only thing that's for sure about Sting, is nothing's for sure" Black and white facepaint debut, and the last time he spoke for over a year. Really wish Mattel had covered this important moment when they had the chance. A figure of NWO Sting (Jeff Farmer) is also needed, he was around a good while and was a more significant character than most other "imposters" in wrestling history. Great custom Glorydaysofwrestling anyway.

Best elite Austin arm swap without cracking the torso? I know a lot of people have cracked the torso to use the Wade Barrett shoulders and arms, but hoping to avoid having to change out the shoulders (already converted the ratchet joints to balls to swap the bigger thighs on but don’t feel like torso cracking). Just looking to swap bigger arms with the current shoulders.

I’m trying to swap a Toni Storm head on a Network Spotlight Asuka body but it looks like it’ll sit really high and I’m struggling to pop the head on. Are there any solutions to these issues?
