I apologise if this is in the wrong section, as I had no idea where to put it. If this is the case, can a Mod please move it? Cheers. Well, I'm from the UK, and I was having a look on Ebay for a decent Shawn Michaels figure. i came across the folowing listing, by a guy called "p a u l l": cgi.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED.uk/SHAWN-MICHAELS-ULTRA-RARE-WRESTLEMANIA-20-JAKKS-WWE_W0QQitemZ320166985312QQihZ011QQcategoryZ56304QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Now, I've never seen this particular HBK figure before, and I wouldn't have thought there was anything suspicious here. But I couldn't help but to notice that he's wearing a Wrestlemania 20 T-Shirt. Normally, there'd be no problem, but if I recall, that head-scan wasn't released until fairly recently. He doesn't say it's a custom, and the datatbase doesn't show this fig either. Just wanted to clear it up on whether it's a custom, etc. Thanks. |

It's a head swap... I believe that Test was the original figure and they just swapped it to an HBK head.

Yeah, I figured so. That's really annoying when they don't say it's a head-swap, etc. Still, it'd make for a great figure.

There were two figs with that body. Test from AD7, and A-Train from RA8.5. Just a headswap with one of those figs.

It is a headswap from Test (he was in an Adrenaline two-pack with Big Poppa Pump in jeans).

Btw.... I made a simular HBK a while back (but with the CS1 HBK scan). Resealed it with Razor (that originally was an Albert figure):  |

nice head swap!
that's the upside of having these "generic" jeans/black shirt figs, you can do a head swap easy and get the fig you want.
nice job.

I remember hating those when they came out, and nobody wanted them. Yes, it's a head swap. Stom is right, the original figure was in an Adrenaline two-pack with Scott Steiner in jeans and (as if it were an inside joke) cruiserweight torso.

As all have said head switch. I used my WM20 body to immortalize Chris Benoit's big night.

Ummm... am I missing something here? Why would you do that... and why is it so cool looking? What do those two have to do with Wrestlemania 20, with 2 IC belts and a ladder? That's just... pointless. |

It was nowhere stated that I meant to make a point, but it could be considered a 10 year anniversary tribute. |

Well, it could be marking the 10 year anniversary of their match if you want to make a point to it. Great set, by my reckoning. I'd be worried about using the Michaels figure though - Every one of those head scans on my HBK figures managed to lose their ponytail in a matter of weeks. Still, great set nonetheless.
And skribbel24, I thought the same thing about that Steiner torso lol!

What do those two have to do with Wrestlemania 20, with 2 IC belts and a ladder? That's just... pointless. It is obviously a tribute to their WrestleMania X match, where there was a ladder match and two Intercontinental Championship belts. Please learn basic history before calling something pointless... |
