I don't want to risk destroying my Rikishi, so here's the next best thing:
•The Rikishi upper body is a few millimeters wider so the flab overhangs the skirt piece. •The Rikishi upper body is around 4mm taller so it adds that to the height.

Yep - I wondered why they didn’t use Joe’s torso as soon as I saw the first images.

As others have pointed out, that hair on Dain is laughable. Looks more like a scarf around his neck. Also, I think the figure should have a hairy back. I could be wrong, but I'm sure Dain does have a hairy back.

I could be wrong, but I'm sure Dain does have a hairy back. Dain overall has a lot more body hair compared to your everyday wrestler. I guess his appearance plays up to his whole “Beast of Belfast” nickname. And I do agree. The head in general is kinda disappointing. The Joe torso would’ve worked way better for Dain, too.

Thanks so much Dr. Henchmen please do more threads for better solutions for misparted figures. And thanks for the kishi pic and I didn't want you to ruin your figure just a headswap done the trick:) thanks

I got some questions about how to separate torsos so I'll just answer here.
•Boil water. •Dunk/teabag the figure in there a few minutes so the water gets inside the chest and weakens the glue on the pegs. •Gingerly start prying the halves apart with a wedge. (I use a chisel) There's usually a gap somewhere to use as a starting point. •If no progress is being made, reheat the water and dunk again. •Don't screw up.
The figure should start separating because the pegs are sliding out of the holes, not because you're warping plastic.

Joe's chest hair game, ain't that strong. I think you missed the point

Maybe the George steel torso would work since it’s already hairy on front and back

Joe's torso is one of my least favorite. Looks great straight on. Turn him sideways and he'd way skinnier than he should be.
