Has anyone tried a boot swap to make the Wrestlemania 2 Andre in yellow? What figure has yellow boots that can be used for the swap? Anyone with any pictures? Thanks in advance!

DM Hogan. A simple fix but I no longer have it to post a pic.

Hogan/Savage boots for tall boots or Walmart Doink for short boots. Both fit but I like the Macho boots cause it gives him more height

Andre’s height was always over exaggerated I like the extra height the Hogan/Savage boots give him.

I used the Hogan boots. Nice fix-up, looks great. If Mattel is going to continue making two-in-one figures, they maybe need to think of creating swappable boots like they do with heads and hands, that way they can release accurate attires. |

I’ve got a spare Hogan basic, would those boots work? It’s the hulk rules one I think.

I used a basic Hogan, it doesn't exactly fit on the pegs, there's a tiny gap, but it makes him even taller. The Hogan boots have smaller feet than the Original Andre's boots, but it almost doesn't matter. i regret not picking that figure up when it was "retail price" I regret not return swapping mine, I bought three and they're all the have the $#!tty 2006 big show singlet that doesn't even match up in the back, they didn't give a crap with that one beyond the machine mask |
