I’m thinking I may pick up the Elite War Bonnet Hogan for the head and bandana alone. Now, would it be a good move to put this head on one of the Ultimate Edition 13 Hogan bodies, or is it better to leave it on the body it comes with? Swap the head on the UE 13! I just did it with the Survivor Series Hulk and it is a major upgrade. I have another UE 13 and plan on swapping all the Defining Moments gear on to it so I can cross the WM3 off the list as well. I will likely just ride with the elite body on the War Bonnet Hulk, my pocket book can't justify another swap lol Ok, I’ll make the swap. So, by putting these four things on the UE 13 Hulk body - the head and bandana from the upcoming war bonnet Hulk, and the “Hulk Rules” shirt and title belt from the Survivor Series Hulk - I should have a pretty solid representation of the “Hulk Rules” look from late ‘80s and early ‘90s in Ultimate form. Thanks! By the way, is it known if Helmet Head Hogan is going to be available at Target? |

It’s all part of their Master Plan! 😉 I picked up that last Basic Hogan for $10.00 just so I could use that bandana. 🙄 By the way, does anyone know what is the cheapest way I could get another Winged Eagle belt like the one from Survivor Series Hogan? Are there some Mattel figures that include that belt accessory that are selling at a low price? |

If you want them to be tanned up, then yes lol I think is really what it comes down to. The old face sculpts weren’t great, but it’s the tan. Putting the Ultimate up against the old elites makes them pale (har har) in comparison. And not being able to use the head sculpts on the old figures also create a problem. |

Hey gang, It looks like my plan to put the head from the Elite 96 Hogan onto the Ultimate 13 Hogan may not work. I saw a new video from AlexWestCollects in which he tried it, and the neck piece is too long. He then tried it on the Fan Takeover Hulk body, and it fit (albeit a tad wobbly). So now I’m thinking to simply put the HULK RULES shirt and Winged Eagle belt on the Elite 96 Hogan, and put the “War Bonnet” and license plate on the Elite Survivor Series Hogan. On another note, when do you guys think the Elite 96 will show up in Target, or online at Target.com? |

I put the Survivor Series shirt on the E96 War Bonnet Hogan and I'm pretty happy with the way it came out (middle).... I did swap that horrible Survivor Series head with one of the Ultimate heads (2nd from Left)..... Although now you guys have me considering picking up another Clearance Ultimate Hogan & trying to make Ultimate 80's Hogan....  |

I tried the same swap myself. |

Although now you guys have me considering picking up another Clearance Ultimate Hogan & trying to make Ultimate 80's Hogan.... Nice! Simply putting the HULK RULES shirt and the title belt on the E96 figure might do the trick for me, although I still may try the E96 head on one of the Ultimate 13 Hogan bodies and see what I think. I wonder, does the E96 helmet fit on the Survivor Series head? That head/face is so wacky to begin with, the War Bonnet could only make it better by covering some of it up! But I doubt it fits. |

I decided $16 Ultimate Hogan was too good to pass up, so I went back & bought one more just to play around more..... That shelf photo I took the other night, the rubber shirt on HOF Hogan really bothered me.... so I swapped it out:  Decided to stick the War Bonnet on the (new) Ultimate Clearance Hogan, this time it fit well, & I actually like it (for now)....  Someone mentioned the Defining Moments Hogan belt on here, so I decided to add it to my lineup too..... starting to like this display!  |
