No problem...Now If Jakks would just give us a ring attired Triple H from around the time he was wrestling Cactus Jack in the NYC Street fight I'll be happy. I'd love a Triple H from that time period too.. it'll look great next to the Toyfare Cactus Jack.. in the mean time i've made a custom that'll do for now: Yours is pretty nice too PJ Rated R NinJa OOoh! As you know I've made various RA's from that time...But I've not yet made a DA from that time I might just do it now. (Looks around room for another TTL with that scan)

lol, if you decide on making a DA Triple H from the attitude era, i suggest using the Snitsky body and just switch the hands and lower legs. I have a pretty good HHH logo from that period if you'd like to have it. Rated R NinJa

Well, the one is from when he was fatter, and the other is now when he has lost a bunch of fluff and toned up. Maybe?

The original Used on the RA33 HHH- and then the one with wrinkles that was used on the Strike Force Rick Martel. - Both are too small though. Or I should say the SHW torso is too big for Trips now as he's lost quite a bit of weight since his last quad injury.

I got both figures last week. My main complaint is the use of that terrible taped right hand and the Rocky boot mold. Triple H doesn't wear boots that low-cut like Austin's.
I also agree that the shirt mold is ridiculous. You can tell that Jakks based the RA shirt mold off of the cruiserweight torso, which is why it looks so ridiculous when they make someone in it who has a super heavyweight or heavyweight torso like Triple H.

I love the Rocky boots. They are actually better suited for Trips than they are for Austin. Austin's should be even lower than those. Altough they do look great on Austin as well. I always felt the old mid-high boots always looked too fat around the ankles. Actually all Jakks RA boot molds were too fat. That was the one thing I always hated with RA's and TTL's. The Rocky boots look normal. I do agree about the taped hand it's way too thick for HHH.

I was going to try and see how the shorter RA boots (RA 2 Batista, RA 8 Test) would look on the Shopzone Austin. Did you try that fix-up? I'm interested to see if it makes the figure better...

No, I hate those lower legs even more the the mid-high tongued boots. They are too long and have no shape to them. The only RA lower leg I even semi like were the mid-high boots and like I said above always thought they were too thick. I'd say your best boot would be the old TTL Austin legs. I gave them to the CSTT3 Austin - But like I said above even though they are too tall for Austin, I do like the Rocky boots on Austin. So I've kept my Shopzone/RFE/CS18 Austin figures as is.

What so odd about every figure being shirted?
I love RA33 and got the whole set just because of that! The extra detail on the shirts are great!
If it was in ring gear, i would probably just get rey and the 2 divas...

It just seems odd...I don't ever recall so many figures in one series being shirted before.

Nice buys PJ, from that pic, RA33 looks extremely inferior in terms of the scan. I see what you mean about the hulking up, i need a new HHH and would like to get that WM one, its one his best modern figs, perhaps the best RA one.

I actually like the RA33 lighter hair better, because when Trips comes to the ring without wetting his head first his hair/beard is very light reddish blonde. I guess it looks like I'm the only one who like the lighter color more.
