Will the height of Unrivaled 2 Hangman be affected by putting the feet of Unrivaled 5 on it?

Yes, unfortunately; the Unrivaled 5 boots are too tall, but I believe some folks here swapped parts at the ankle to replace the clown shoes on the Unrivaled 2 Hangman. Someone also used Kenny Omega in the past to do so. |

Thank you so much, means a lot to me. It’s a S2 MJF with a basic Adam Cole head, added the jacket from S1 young bucks, cut off the tassel part. Rest is just paint.

That Adam Cole is a thing of beauty. I love it. You've managed to make a custom Adam Cole figure that is leagues ahead of anything WWE ever gave us.

Has anybody tried removing any of the paint from around Sting's hairline? I really appreciate that Jazzwares painted the face paint on this figure, unlike Mattel who just cast the entire head in white plastic....but I'd like to see what it looks like if there was a slight gap between where the hair ends and the paint starts like he does in real life.  I'm also curious if anyone has repainted the soul patch brown? For some reason both Mattel and Jazzwares have painted Sting's soul patch black as if it were part of his face paint, instead of brown because it is actually facial hair in real life.  I do not yet have the figure, but I'm curious to see if anyone has done any paint mods on their Sting's. The two above that I mentioned are things that I may attempt if/when I am able to get one. If anyone did attempt any of this, if you can say what you did and what supplies you used, that would really be helpful, too. I usually use acetone to remove paint, but AEW figures seem to be made with a weaker (or at least DIFFERENT) plastic than WWE figures. The few times I've used acetone on AEW figures, it's started to damage the plastic. I've never had acetone cause white splotches or eat away at WWE figures, so I'm definitely looking for a different paint remover that doesn't damage AEW figures. Thanks. |

Lorenzo, if Sting’s head is molded in white it wouldn’t come off, you’d ruin the face paint and hair
You could paint skin over the white part

The hair also looks like a separate piece which could potentially be boiled and removed to make the paint removal process easier. Without having the figure in hand I can’t be sure, but I’m at least 75% sure that there is skin tone plastic under that face paint. Ideally I’d just remove a very VERY thin line around the hair line. |

Unless someone can give you instructions on how to do it extremely cleanly, removing paint is generally an all or nothing process. On top of that, if it’s the face print process, it’s nearly impossible to get off even with acetone. You would honestly be better off painting that area and the neck to match since there’s not a lot to cover. |

wanted a more NJPW style Painmaker Jericho for my New Japan shelf, so I did some swapping with series 8 and series 6.   |

Made the chase figure by swapping the legs of unrivaled 6 and 8 figs, adding the jacket, and a bat from Sting.  |

Any suggestions for a Miro arm swap? His arms are too long and if shorter I think the figure is perfect.

Lorenzo Alcazar I’ve done something similar with my DM Crow Sting. I’ll post pictures later. I basically painted on the sides of his face, lower chin area and forehead. Mattel never bothered to paint most of his flesh which in return looks like his face is actually white instead of being painted.

Can someone tell me if it’s difficult to switch out the boots/shins on figures? I had an idea for an Omega figure but it would require changing some things out. Thanks!
