One of the things I got to ask Bill at SDCC was the possibility of there being any refs. Short version--don't expect it because the WWE doesn't want them done (refs aren't considered "talent" apparently).
So at this point I'm resigned to trying to make my own. I have a Jakks Hebner but he's a bit oversized. So people who are better versed with basics or Elites longer than I am (I've been collecting hardcore only since like the early 40s series), who are some good base figures to try to make a custom out of. Guys with black slacks who the HBK ref shirt will fit on. Mind, my customizing skills are limited to being able to handle head swapping and that's about it right now.
Much thanks in advance!

I also think it's obscenely stupid that the refs aren't viewed as talent.

I was thinking maybe the Finlay head from WWE 2-Packs (Series 02) Finlay & Hornswoggle
could make a decent Chad Patton

I have 2. 1st is E3 Cody Rhodes with a RSE ref shirt, and Kofi black pants with yellow stripes. 2nd one I use as ref, but he could be a UFC ref or ringside doctor, is the short hair Bryan head on a Shield Rollins, minus the vest.

2010 Survivor Series Heritage Cena with the grimace for a head. Doesn't look like Cena and is pretty generic.

I've always wondered about this. I want to make a WCW ref with the bow tie, just dont know what to use for a base. It'd be nice to get a elite ref as a rse.

Here's my Dr/Ref. Sorry for the bad quality. I painted the WWE symbol on with a toothpick.

I use the referee Shawn Michaels with the Jamie Noble J&J head. Then again, Noble is actually the referee in my "fed".

Anyone know where I can find the right head to make a stylish 1996 Randy Eller?

I don't even care if they look like real life refs. It's a shame the CAS figures use a different ball joint. The Cena and Sting alternate heads are pretty generic looking.
I'm realizing IRS would be more or less perfect if he didn't have that high collar on him. Is that just a glued on piece that I could cut away?

Just get a superman or unmasked batman and use that head. So many clearanced near me. And the heads fit just right.

i would buy the HBK ref figure, an Xavier Woods and the Teddy Long head.
then ship them to @zombieapocalypse
pay him $$$ to put the Woods torso onto the HBK ref legs and pop the head on.
perfect ref. Since Teddy Long was actually a referee for awhile

I looked into this and the best answer I got was Ricardo with the jacket removed and repaint his shirt and tie. I ended up buying a Jakks Danny Davis instead.
