So, I think it's come time for me to add a proper referee to the collection, especially for some of the photo/animation projects I'm working on with my figs. So I guess my question is, for those who do this or just demand everything be as authentic as possible......who are you using for a referee? I've seen RSC has an Earl Hebner figure, but I have no idea if he would be fine side by side with WWE Mattel figures and the like.
So anyone have any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Earl Hebner is way too tall. Find some cloth black pants from a Rock or a Brock, get the ref shirt from RSC, and put them on a modern Jericho, rookie Bryan, or a DiBiase Jr.

I took BoPPV HBK and put a basic Miz head on it.

I have one that's Bo Dallas based. I used the shirted entrance series one with some track pants and switched the head with the smiling Cody scan.

there are too many ways to make a custom referee, there are no rules for it. I think you can buy the Michaels figure and just swap the head.

Also, I would think that a referee figure would be a must for Mattel. Even if it's a BAF or a BP with another person. Thanks for the suggestions folks, much appreciated. Keep em coming if you have other ideas or suggestions!!!!!!!!

Gotcha. Wonder how that would size up against Mattel's figures? It will dwarf them. Its around the size of a Jakks DA figure if i recall. Anyway, I've been using my own custom referee (Hank Foreman.....a composite of Hank Hill and Red Foreman. My senior official takes no crap!!!) which was made out of DiBiase Jr, Santino, and Evan Bourne parts with the ref shirt that came with E2 Batista. The DiBiase Jr head was modded a bit, and it blended in with the other figures quite well. Its a little worn now after various poses and displays over the last 6 years. I also used a non mattel figure for my secondary ref. "Frank Patrick" was a Marvel Legends Punisher from the Walmart Holocaust BAF wave ,wearing an extra Batista ref shirt. He was great at pointing at the heels.......... Hank Foreman! That's hilarious and awesome. I'm a fan of both of those so it popped me! I think I'll be frankensteining my own referee together than. I'll most likely order the RSC referee shirt and go from there!

they should throw a generic ref or cameraman in a playset with limited articulation if they have to keep costs down

WWE is on a kick about refs being faceless nobodies, so Mattel can't make refs as was stated before. The ref HBK was the best Bill could do.

I made my own refs since I couldn't wait for one. One is suppose to be Scott Armstrong since the Finlay basic barely looked like him. Tully represents old school refs (though I have to touch it up). The other is a Christian painted black.

WWE are so strange in not letting Mattel do actual referees. I remember awhile back they had a mandate that the commentators no longer should refer to the referees by name.

The best one ive seen was a dean malenko head but then again there are plenty of one off basic figures that theyve done that you could use the head from.

Jakks BCA Ringside series refs and box set cameraman work fine and are good to scale.
