Ah. Didn't remember him. Now I want an extra so I can do this, too. haha It also took an extra Triple H I had. Pipers skin tone is pretty pale so it didn't work with the Luger head. I had all the parts I needed other than the blue trunks from Piper so this could end up being a fairly expensive fix-up if starting from scratch. Right on. I have an extra Narcissist head and an extra Triple H. I'll probably go with the black trunks for classic Lex, so all I need are those dang boots. haha *Edit to add I put this together real quick tonight. Definitely need an extra nWo Savage now so mine can stay complete/original.  |

 Another fix up using left over parts. Borrowed the white boots from my Luger fix up just for the photo. I’m far from an expert painter but happy with how this came out. |

My buddy helped me get another nWo Macho Man for the boots (so my original Macho could remain complete), and I removed the Triple H logos from his trunks and knee pads. I never loved this Luger head until now, as good as it was, because I preferred the USA Lex head with longer hair. But this one is perfect for the MOTWU figures. I think I might try another with different trunks.  |

The Lex head swap just needed a hairdryer, and the logo removal just needed clear nail polish (put over logo then immediately wipe off). |

A couple screen grabs from Steve's MOTU Masterverse unboxing. A little glimpse at the WWE MOTU JYD and Andre. And Andre's head on Skelegod's body.   |

JYD was supposed to come with a red chain and Andre's singlet strap is showed on his left side. I wonder if thats been changed. Either way they are going to be amazing. I'm looking forward to all of them, but mostly Andre and Bret. Even more so looking forward to seeing what they do with Andre's packaging. Will the card remain the same size or will it be bigger? Maybe he will come in a box like Elites do, who knows. |

He probably used an elite JYD chain for display and the image is mirrored because of the stream, so Andre's strap is probably correct. |

Red one doesn't look bad, but is definitely an odd color choice imo. |

If you look at the Legends 11 Macho Man packaging in the same image (above Steve's neck and shoulder), the image of Savage on the front of the box is on the right side of the package. However, all other images of the packaging shows Savage's image on the left side.  |

Steve’s posted some new pics on insta. The tri-Klops bret looks great without the glasses and looks like he’ll be shirtless without the black armour. I wonder how easy a customer could make a straps down bret?

Anyone know how to remove the knee pads on MOTWU figures without breaking them? They don't seem like they can just slide down off the legs once the boots are removed because the calves are so wide.

I know I'm late to the party here, but if anyone has the older figures for sale, even loose complete, I'd be interested. My kids are getting into the MOTU Origins line and they are enjoying mixing these in with them. Trying not to break the bank on some past series figures, just shoot me a PM. Much appreciated!

They are a bit tough to get off as I have broken a set already. I've gone with letting them sit in boiling water for about a minute to loosen them up before trying to slide them over the calf. |

So from context clues, safe to assume that RSC is going to get the next wave? If so, thank goodness!

The line is a Walmart Exclusive and I haven't heard anything about it going elsewhere. I'm curious to know what these complex clues are. So I said context, not complex. Additionally, my thought was - has RSC always posted images with their watermark on the MOTU wave reveal pictures? I personally don't recall, but could be wrong. I know they have when they are selling them marked as "secondary market item." That's why I was thinking it was a possibility, but they could simply be reporting on reveals. |

Thanks for the instruction. This is what I'll do. It still has me nervous just looking at those He-Man calves and those tiny knee pads. haha |

I was at Wally World this week and saw Steph on the shelf, along with Warrior and Goldberg. Steph looked pretty nifty but, sadly, I couldn't justify 15 bucks for a figure that I doubt I'll be able to complete a set of.
I ended up buying the Giant/Flair 2-pack instead for the same price.
