I did a similar fix up with a Tatanka torso/legs. Fairly similar in height. Do you know if Basic Sid boots would fit on the Elite Tatanka lower legs? With a little modification they will fit for the most part. You need to make the peg holes a tad deeper and a little wider at the top of the boots. The boots will be a little wider than his shins, but not super noticeable on display.

Working on this referee fix up. I took an old Ambrose body with a Cena head and thought that I could create Charles Robinson. I know it needs to be modded in the face, more paint on the pants, and the shoes need to be done in black, but other than that, I’m proud of what I’ve got so far. This is my second sculpting job too. Feel free to tell me any improvements that I should try.

I know it's only just been released but has anyone tried/thinking of swapping the Mattel RSC exclusive HBK head for the Jakks RSC Exclusive HBK head?

Thank you, I've never tried this either but I may experiment with this method of basic boots on elite legs as well. My go to method is usually to swap basics on to elites at the knees. I call them "Ba-elites". I know that results in loss of articulation but that isn't so important to me. Besides, I have such an affinity for making sure all my figures have knee-pads where applicable that usually covers the knee anyway - lol.

originalniceguy the head will be too big and I believe the jakks dx head is slightly more tan than the Mattel body.

I also find swapping at the knees the simplest solution, but there is a third option I've used. Rather than drilling the boots, I've cut the peg on the lower leg of the figure to fit the basic boot. It requires shortening the peg and removing the lip where the peg meets the bottom of the calf.

Could you swap Sid's lower legs onto Tatanka instead of just the boots to prevent the overhang on the boots, or would that change the height too much?

Slight fix-up for my buddy Goldust . We replaced the newer arms with the older style, replaced the jacket style and repainted the head. I think we got a much better likeness out of it.

I tried this but ended up cutting too much and the peg broke off. Had to glue the boots in place.
