Did Marvel/Toy Biz make ECW figures? I thought the just did WCW/TNA figures. And I don't remember Zeus or Abdullah being in those lines.

A couple questions: Anyone ever made Zeus and Abdullah using the Jakks CS heads? Was thinking on using Stevie Ray for Zeus and Yoko for Abdullah. But both skintones have like an olive green hue to them. Any ideas or tips on paint color or what to mix? Thanks in advance!

So I was really excited today when I got my macho, as some of you may know I'm a huge fan of WCW and sting in general. This figure was one of the ones I wanted Mattel to make and I was excited. I really wish Mattel wouldn't skimp out on certain things like proper part choices etc. I love fixing figures and customizing them, but not when something should be expected to be done right. Anyways, I added the proper gloves on macho and a knee brace. I might dremel the head slightly so it doesn't have the floating illusion... For Seth I repainted that ugly yellow thing that was hair, gave the elite 36? The proper kneepads, added the wrist cuffs, chest hair and painted the top of his boots black. I also wish that the figure had some slight variations of blacks to simulate the leather on his tights.

PJ I ate his hands! J/k... My OCD is killing me with his arms and the proportions of Sting's body. I'm just waiting to add some wrist cuffs and then put his arms back. Madness13 sorry brudda haha I love the vest on your macho, it's very reminiscent of the old toybiz figure. Wish it was included. Also, thank you guys for the compliments!

Okay this is a bit of a different "fix-up" for me. If I didn't get an awesome deal on 2 RAW Main Event Rings (minus the Goldberg figures) I wouldn't even have considered it; but for the cost of a normal RAW Main Event ring, I was able to do this fix-up: a conversion to a WCW classic ring. With two rings you can put 2xB and 2xC parts together to by-pass the light-up gimmick and fused ring post(s). With some spacers/washers I was able to lift the posts so that the ropes are now at an acceptable height. And now for me this 20" x 20" ring is far more superior than an ASR/ESR!!! It's the perfect size for WWE Mattels. I wish I could have reused the yellow turnbuckles from the WCW basic ring, but they are molded on and don't clip off the posts, so I'm stuck with these black turnbuckles. I did paint over the WWE logos. My dry-cleaner is also a seamstress (shout out to Mrs. Swan!), so I asked her to resize the ASR/ESR WCW ring skirt to match the Main Event mat and sew all four panels onto the mat with elastics on the corners for me. Bless her for not having a clue as to what she was being asked to do, because she sewed one panel upside down (I've hidden it opposite the hard camera). She still didn't fully understand what a toy wrestling ring was . Anyways, enough talk, here's some pics:

Think the shirt swapping improves both figures.

Very early WIP Steiner Brothers. Have to finish Ricks paint/paint removal and add the tattoos. Happy with the scale and everything on him. Scott needs much more. Still figuring out all the parts. Thinking I may try this Tatanka head, but open to other ideas.

I think the different Warrior elites have the same skin tone, which might make your plan easier.
