I was in my local Deals & Discounts in Brooklyn, NY and spotted these Wrestlemania elites for $10. They had dozens of HBKs and HHHs on the shelf. Picked a few of these up mainly for the belts and knee pads. Also thought it'd be easy to make an elite Mike Awesome out of the HHH body. Used DH Smith head. Repainted eyebrows. Used milliput to sculpt the hair. Painted it and sealed it. Figure is a good height as Mike Awesome was like 6'5". Used acetone to remove HHH graphics on tights. Printed an "AWESOME" decal for back. Swapped out the knee pads for the big knee pads Mattel likes to spoil us with. AWESOME BOMB!

good choice on the head just not a fan of how shinny everything turned out i would suggest a matte clear coat or sealer over glossy
