I didn't take a pic or anything, but I put a wire inside MJF's scarf and it greatly improved the look of it.

Yes I did the peg transfer only difference I used a kitchen knife instead of a jagged blade and a cutting board and I always use hot water over hair dryer as I’ve had bad luck with the hair dryer example jello John Cena 🤣
Can you share photos of how you cut the shins down?

Would it be possible to swap Santana & Ortiz’s torsos/arms to get rid of the molded shirt, or do they have tattoos or things that would prevent it?

The real potential for customs is if the UFC series uses similar parts. Alot of options here.

Santana has a cross on his left shoulder/upper arm, Ortiz has tattoos on both his shoulders/upper arms, and his right forearm. |

But Ortiz doesn't wrestle without a shirt on so the molded on shirt makes sense for him.

Don't know about Buttercup's issues but I don't really see a space for Inner Circle in my fed, so have had no interest in accessories or shirts. Guess the easiest route would be some custom PnP shirts and see if they get released post-IC. |

I gave Hangman a pair of Mattel Drew McIntyre boots. He’s a bit too tall now, but his head scales better with his body now. I want to shorten him about half the distance of the difference still. Because I feel that will look good proportionately for his head with the body. So either I will hollow out the top of the boots more or I will remove it from the top of the thigh.   |

Do Cody & MJF have similar skin tones? I’ve been wanting to put closed fists on my MJF but there aren’t many figures with them yet, the new REC Cody has them tho
Just realized Cody was in series 1, so I’m gonna need to see MJF next to Blood Brothers or UK Cody

I'm a big fan of Mr Super Clear sealers, and I've been using the tamiya gold ts21 spray on a figure. I did a test run of using both the UV Cut Gloss and UV Cut Flat sealers on some spare parts and both of them didn't come out how I wanted. I'm trying to keep the original shine from the paint but no idea how to. Whats the best way for me to achieve this? The gloss is looking really shiny and the flat dulls down the shine from the paint a bit too much for what I want. Should I try the none UV cut Matt? Below is the parts with just the paint I'm trying to keep  |

I got a question and I’m not sure if it belongs here or not but my MJF has a VERY loose ab swivel (I guess you call it that) and I am not sure how to tighten it. I popped off the ball jointed ab and put some clear nail polish and even a coat of mod podge around the ball joint and the torso insert but that’s not quite doing the trick. Any tips or help would be extremely appreciated. I would really like to salvage this figure without having to track down another
