So this is what Summer had in store for me! Was able to pick up an Elite 51 AJ Styles from Smyths in Milton Keynes, Taker from TRU Luton and Lesnar from eBay. I had a couple spare Edge coats lying around in the fodder box and I suppose curiosity got the better of me to see how it would look as a modified vest, that's the end result (still need to finish attaching the hood to this custom vest). The cuff on AJ's forearm is just a regular cuff you'd find on any figure with MMA gloves. And yes, the Universal Title with Summerslam Demon Balor fits around the waist of Bork. I actually got Austin from Hogan's Beach Shop in Orlando back in June, totally forgot to mention it. I put the Elite 49 Cass chain over his dome and it actually looks pretty good. I'd go as far to say Elite 51 Reigns is the best release to date. The Elite 45 vest actually works on this figure too! As for Vinny Mac, sleeveless just looked rather more natural to me despite it not being accurate per representation of the actual attire. It passes for a 2001-2003 Vince I think. Perhaps my favourite Hogan release to date. Everything about the Storm Hollywood Hogan is flawless, imo. Also, the Elite 6 Batista shades are a near perfect fit! I was able to grab Demon Balor from TRU Watford last week. It looks kinda complete with the Elite 41 get-up entrance gear. Thanks for reading, everyone!

Is that a headswapped NS Taker? Correct! I used the Summerslam '98 Heritage basic head just to be absolutely sure the skin tones matched. Lost Legends, Elite 23 head just appears too pale to me for this era of Taker.

Lost Legends, Elite 23 head just appears too pale to me for this era of Taker. Looks good. That era Taker and 99-00 Triple H are maybe the two biggest headscratchers that Mattel has yet to release.

I need that AJ Styles. Too good to pass up, I love the head on him.

Summer of 1916? I must be out of the loop. What does that mean?

Did the same thing with a spare NS Taker and it made ALL the difference in the world. Plus that doesn't make Vince inaccurate. That's what his attire at St. Valentine's Day Massacre in the cage match against Austin looked like.
