that cage sequence looks awesome, I was way too lazy to bust my cage out and do the same haha, I also really like Magnum with the red knee pads, looks good.

I put one in red pads and one in black pads. But even with the leg sleeves Bill did a great job on Magnum. And it has been a fantastic 12 months for the NWA. Horsemen, GAB Sting, Dusty and now Magnum. All we need now is Ivan and Nikita. Hey! Tully got some hits in too.... Time to log into ole RSC.... Yeah, but this was about Magnum. lol |

So happy we finally have Magnum but I'm not happy about the legs, short and thick. I think magnum was billed at 6"3 or 6"4 so I'd want him a little taller than Dusty. Those Cody Rhodes legs are great for Arn Anderson (a fix up I already did), but Magnum needs the original Arn/Funk legs with bigger calves. Tape's too long too.

Looks great. Got my Magnum, too. Now we just need one more NWA babyface to square up with the Horsemen. Hmm- we got the legends Road Warriors you could use. Legends Steamboat & Funk but they are more 80s WWE looks then nwa- that's more late 80s. Too bad that new Luger is the narcissist 90s version. I'd go for a nwa 80s version of Lex. Could use the Von Erichs also |

Those Cody Rhodes legs are great for Arn Anderson (a fix up I already did), but Magnum needs the original Arn/Funk legs with bigger calves. Tape's too long too. Mattel and Wikipedia both list Magnum at 6'1" and Dusty is listed at 6'2", but I think Magnum was slightly taller than Dusty. And the figures are about the same height which is how Mattel's scale is. Guys in a certain height range are about the same height in figure form. As for the leg wraps they could be slightly shorter, but when the pads are centered they look about right. I am just glad we have a pretty good NWA Roster now with the GAB Sting, L1 LOD, Horsemen, Dusty and now Magnum. All we need now is Nikita and Ivan. |

Is magnums vest the same as Windham from the 4 horseman set?
Did you use the WCW ring that came with dusty for the cage?
Got more pics of that? A little further back to see the whole ring/cage

A little further back to see the whole ring/cage I don't have them in front of me now, but I 5hink they are the same. The ring is from the Dusty set and the cage came from a KMart Exclusives ring with Randy Orton and John Cena. It came out around the same time as Basic Series 3. |

Are Magnum's boots the same size as Dusty's? They look thicker than the ones that came with Windham and HOF Hogan.

I usually hate basic rings but in WCW's case it fits. The WCW always had smaller rings in real life compared to WWE's rings.

Thanks. I added a pic of today's purchase as well as one of the NWA Roster. Excellent nwa roster. Really need to get that Sting now (kind of want that cage too!) especially since every attire, while accurate, is red & black. Would of preferred if the 4H Flair was purple. Did you use acetone to remove windhams beard? Turned out pretty nice. |

Thanks to your pics PJ I finally pulled the trigger on the Gab sting today. I still think it leaves something to be desired but Putting the world title around his waist makes him look pretty good alongside Dusty & the 4 horsemen. Anxiously awaiting the arrival of Magnum. Says delivery is Wednesday tho. |
