Here's today's pick ups - (I picked the Tazz up to make a DA Slaughter with and the Smash for a Krusher Khruschev) RA34.5 Cody Rhodes - (He's a bit sloppy) And the Krusher Khruschev I'm working on - (I have to figure a way to remove the hair from the Smash head to finish it) I also picked up the Mr. Perfect DVD set.

Eh it is an ok figure. But i don't like the face it is too scrunched up. But nice find would definately get for the collection.

Great pickups.
You should use a dremmel to sand off the hair (much easier to do than to sand it off).
If you don't have one then I'd use an exacto knife or other sculpting-type knifes to take the hair off, then sand it down to make it smooth.
I really like your idea of making a Krusher figure. I might try that.
Show us the final product when your done!!!

I'm thinking maybe casting it and then sanding down the hair so he won't have the groove/notch in his head that most have to attach their hair. I'll have to see what my friend uses to cast his heads again and give that a try I think.

I think I going to pat myself on the back for steering you away from the Ivan Koloff and suggesting Krusher. Can't wait to see it, I have very slowly been working on a head for it myself. Already used the arms for my jacketless Repo Man.

Already used the arms for my jacketless Repo Man. Actually I was thinking about a Krusher as well mainly because my TRU had the CS14 Smash sitting there...But then I got to thinking Ivan would be easier as far as the heads went. Because I don't have the dremmel for removing Smashs hair and I thought with a very little modifcation a pre-real scan Austin head would work well for Ivan. That being said I'm glad you did nudge me the other way as I think Krusher will look better than a make shift Ivan.

I like this figure a lot better than his AD 32, although the bullrope looked like a cool accessorie. But cool to see the tri-force symbol on his boots, can jakks do that? Did his other fig have it?

Yeah, that was the only one of his figures released I've seen it on. (I don't have his DA's, but I do have his AD figure)

Nice pick ups. I bought an extra Nikita to make Krusher as well. I'm looking forward to seeing yours when you're done. After looking at the Darsow heads, I realized it would be pretty hard for me to modify Smash or Repo Man. I wanted a Jakks tone to match Nikita, and I think you'd have to paint Smash and fill in the hair hole. Repo has that molded mask. I usually do my own custom work, but I think I'm gonna get a hardcore customizer to mod a Krusher head for me. Please let me know how things go with the Smash head.
The Cody figure looks good, but as much as I love his dad, I'm not a big Cody Rhodes fan. As usual, thanks for the great pictures.

I already got AD 29 Cody so it would be pointless me getting this one. I even prefer the green attire.
I don't even think this one is better in any way apart from the boot logo, which I can live without.
Thanks for the pics though! Glad you're happy. And I can't wait to see Kruschev!

I think that it is a cool Cody fig.
They need to have an AD set with Team Pricele$$.

I really haven't made an opinion about Cody yet as a wrestler as I've only actually watched him wrestle twice (maybe three times) And that was his debut and 2 matches tag matches (one with Holly & one with Jr.) But I'm a blue guy...So I went with the update. Other than Hurricane...Flair and Razor are actually the only two wrestlers I've wanted released in their green attires. As for Krusher he'll be a hard one for me to finish, but it'll eventually be done.
