I know there are already a few threads with pics, but you guys have to check out my fix ups. I don't know why I got these later than everyone else when I ordered them as soon as they were up, but whatever, at least I have them now. I added a Jakks collar & chain to JYD, Jakks vest to Diesel, retro Jericho scarf to Elias & did a basic Matt Hardy head swap. I think they all look much better. The Matt Hardy head needed to be swapped IMO, his eyes looked like they are bulging out of his head. The basic head has way more detail as far as the gray in the beard & overall look. I'm not a huge JYD fan, but the collar & chain makes the figure look much better. I was initially thinking of doing a head swap, but the figure they released is much better than the one from the protos. The one from the protos had bulging eyes. I like the Jakks Diesel vest, I feel like the Mattel one would be too long. I've thought about swapping Diesel's head too, but I don't think his retro head is as bad as everyone is saying. Plus, the HOC Diesel still goes for at least $25 on ebay. Maybe if they release a cheaper basic of him down the line I might consider doing a head swap then. The scarf for Elias is another nice touch as well, it really brings the figure together.

Appreciate the shot with the Jakks vest. It’s a nice fit. I’ll probably try some different heads tomorrow. And now I definitely have to get an extra scarf for Elias.

Wtf is Cena doing to ryder!? Ha. Yeah, it was hard to setup the stf with the retros. That's funny. I actually didn't notice how awkward it looked at first until now.

Nice fix ups. Given a choice, not sure if I would have preferred a scarf or the guitar with Elias. A generic black or grey dog collar w/ chain should have been a pack in accessory.

I didn't get into WWE figures until 1999 but for Hasbro collectors that Diesel must be an absolute dream come true.

Which figure do I have to search for? *runs and orders second and third Diesel* Oh boy, I forget the series, but it's that basic one with grey singlet that came in a 2 pack with red pants HBK.
