ANYONE WANT TO TRADE A ADA CHAN MACHO MAN HEAD FOR THIS BODY? you are silly if you think anyone would trade an Ada head for that body. The boots are sloppy. There is pink at the top of the boots where it should be white. It just overall looks like it took 20 minutes and you want to trade it for a piece of art that probably took hours. Granted the head probably only cost everyone who bought it around 20 bucks. But it just looks like a very easy paintjob from someone who looks like he can paint and is just trying to cheap his way into getting the Macho head. ....That was deep.I threw this up in the "in progress" stages.I hope to get $23 plus the shipping for it or the head from ada , which you can get on ebay unpainted for.....$23 shipped.If this doesnt sell/trade and once im FINISHED with it i WILL post it in the customs board.Then I will be more than happy to listen and respond to your feedback on how this took me 20 mins.1 coat of white on the figure ,5 thin coats of pink all the taping off for the green lines , three coats of white on the boots , the laces and the torso swap and arm/shoulder joint swap took much longer than 20 minutes guy. The touch up work YET TO BE DONE if i keep it will probably take 20 minutes.Thanks for your concern or what ever it was.

I didn't mean to come off as a d*** I guess it was just hard to look at the pink Macho body and the one in your sig and think the same guy did both. I gave you a compliment though..I said you could paint..this just looked really simple. =/

ANYONE WANT TO TRADE A ADA CHAN MACHO MAN HEAD FOR THIS BODY? I like this figure somewhat so far, the painting around the neck is kinda sloppy and i really wished you used the older style shirt mold (that one just makes it look too baggy) and tights legs (instead of trunks ones). I'm looking forward to seeing the figure you make up for your Ada head instead of one your trying to get rid of.

*******UPDATE*********
I had a post office notice yesterday to go pick up a package from ADA. I will do my best to pick it up today, though my work hours *may* prevent it. If I cannot leave early today, then I will take a half day tomorrow and go pick it up (darn post office hours!) and begin shipping by this weekend.
The orange & purple "Macho Man" bandanas are made btw! I've been trying to put it on another figure, but my fingers can't seem to tie it properly (darn meaty fingers!) I hope others have better luck than me! I'm not giving up though...

That's awesome news Wars, I've just tried to forget about it like I do with everything that I get sent from around the world, otherwise it seems to take ages. Obviously it's unlikely that we'll get our heads in the UK before Christmas but it's good to know they are halfway. I've got the Savage bodies ready and waiting already though.

I got the heads today! It was a pretty big box!
I'll post some pics either tonight or tomorrow, along with pics of the bandanas!
I know we're all anxious to get them, so I'll get them out as fast as I can. I have to go back and pull addresses off the PayPal payments, figure out who needed some Hasbro heads, who wanted me to add touch-up paint, who wanted shipment to a different address, etc.
Shoot me a PM if that applies to you...

One thing Wars - when you send my heads (one painted/one unpainted) could you put no more than $30 value on the package or put "gift" or put it as £20GBP or something please? The exchange rate has gone so mad in the last couple of months that even though the amount of USD I actually paid was within the limit at the time, it is now over the limit so I (and any others in the UK) will likely get charged an extra £15+ custom fees if it says more than about $30 or 60/gift on it. Hope that's cool, can't wait for these heads.

I will today, likely very soon (couple of things to do first) Wars
