I picked up some figures from CS 18 and 19 last week, mostly from Ringside, but also some from K-mart (surprisingly). CS 19 Nikita Koloff fix up. I added tall boots and a chain. Still a disappointment, but it looks better. A young J.R. interviews the Russian Nightmare Kevin Sullivan with the Varsity Club The Rock and Stone Cold The Rock (fixed up hands -- no wrist tape) Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Rikishi fix-up (put CS18 head and arms on a CS10 Dusty body and repainted. The paint looks very flat in pictures, but looks like a good flesh tone in person. I may still darken it a little.) Group shot. 12-inch TNA Sting I ordered back when I pre-ordered Nikita Koloff. This thing is amazing. The NWA belt is leather and metal. Hope you enjoyed checking out my haul.

Nice pick-ups and fix-ups man. The Koloff and Rock fix-ups look great despite being so easy.. Rikishi looks good but i'd try and match the Rocks skintone, it looks to pale at the moment. Rated R NinJa

Yeah, its funny. In person, the paint color is just a shade lighter than the Rock. It just doesn't photograph well with flash because it is too flat compared to the shiny Jakks bodies. I suppose I could use a sealer with some gloss, but I don't like the way it looks in person. It's annoying, because I actually do take the time to mix the paints to get the right color, but because the paints I use for skin are specifically for flesh tones, they are too flat to photograph well without better skills than mine. Oh well.

Nikita looks much better now. I was actually thinking maybe the Batista boots might look good for him as well. Still he should be wider in the torso, but that's the best choice of the singlet torsos they have. Love the Varsity Club along with the NWA backdrop as well.

Rikishi still doesn't look god. Jakks would have been better off just re-releasing the TTL body with RA parts.
Sting is awesome I just picked up him and AJ at my nearest KB toys for $7 each. the belts are so awesome.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Sorry about the zombie Rikishi, but I swear it's not that pale in person. Still, I know you guys can only go by what you see, so . . . Anyway, I'm glad I was able to make Nikita passable. I know us old-school guys often complain about having Attitude era guys in CS, but this Rock and Austin are great versions of essential guys, IMO.
The Dude: Great deal on the TNA 12-inchers. My KB doesn't have these guys, so I unfortunately had to pay over $20 at Ringside. I don't regret it now, because I think even Ringside is sold out of them. If I happen to see them at my KB, I'll be a little pissed, but I'd probably buy another one for my kid. Speaking of which, I picked up CS 18 Kane, but it was for my son (he loves Kane). No pic for him, because he's somewhere in my kid's junk. He's a cool figure though, especially since I'm not a stickler about the exact details of his costume.
