This Taker is such a great figure! Had to press the jacket and tie a little, but it's easily one of my favorites!  |

The ropes are paracord bought from Hobby Lobby(always wait for the sale)! All I did was wrap them around the gray inner post and tie them off. Make sure to burn the ends a little so they don't fray. Then I just hid the knots behind one of the posts in the back corner. Just have to make sure you get it nice and tight. It also helps having a crafty wife just sayin.  |

mikedangerThanks, That’s really cool man! After looking closer I assumed it was hand done with non mattel materials. You have more pics? Of corners, full shot of a shelf? Etc I had a vision of doing something like that but I am not as crafty as your wife to know where to start. Lol

'Taker is awesome
Gooker is visually amazing, but the construction of that figure is one of the worst they've ever done. His arms are NOT secure, they pop out with almost no effort, and his feet/legs are so loose and awkward. The QC on it is really sub-par. Fortunately I don't "play" with my figures so once I got him in the detolf it's fine
but woof on the construction of this thing. major MAJOR letdown

If I were to buy this Undertaker and the legends 9 Undertaker, how easy would it be to swap the parts around to get a UE New Gen Undertaker?

Ultimate taker boots are all 1 piece now, so you would have to bring over the elite boots as well and possibly swap the feet of you want the toe articulation. |

Got mine today (after it was delayed 2 days, of course)...and the box was open and the Taker was replaced with a FT Goldberg. $75. Now I either have to go through the hassle of a return, or find Taker on ebay for ridiculous prices. Sigh. Thanks Amazon.
