I've not been on this site for a while and I'm hoping this is the correct board...my apologies if not. I'm looking for help customizing a Bam Bam Gordy figure and I'm off to a rough start. So far, I have the idea to use a Samoa Joe, basic 70 upper body and will swap out the head with the Jakks Gordy. I have no clue what else to do. If any of you have helpful suggestions, I'll be grateful of any. I would like to note that I'm interested in his AJPW look with the black outfit with tall boots. Thank you all.

I used Legends Jim Duggan. This was back when you could get Hacksaw dirt cheap on clearance or at Family Dollar. Joe's torso is an interesting choice, but you probably have to paint it to match the Jakks head. If you don't mind Basic, the Hacksaw SummerSlam figure might be good and it's cheap. You can paint the trunks black but problem is getting tall black boots for a basic. I think the only basic with tall black boots is Entrance Greats Ted Dibiase.
I'd post a pic of my custom, but I took it a part. I'm hoping for an official Gordy.

The basic 70 Joe matches up okay with the Jakks head because I think the flesh tone is lighter than basic 74. The basic Duggan is just a little too "cut" and in shape to be Gordy I feel, after I did the head swap. The Joe torso looks good so far with him being chubbier, also because Joe wears his trunks higher like Gordy, covering the belly button. Not sure what to do with the legs. I broke off the peg inside the crotch area. I'm going to attempt a torso crack to put in Duggans lower half, though it may look bad. You are right on the money with Duggan and the Dibiase and again, thanks! |
