Oddly enough, of all the Superstars OP listed I can easily take a break from them, minus maybe LOD because LOD 2000 is a huge want of mine. What I personally want to see is for more midcard talent to get signed. Dozens upon dozens of names from WCW, ECW, the Golden Era, New Gen, Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression Era are without figures. I mean this is only scraping the top but aside from Owen Hart and Chris Benoit, look at these names that don't have a Mattel Elite figure: WWE: Kona Crush/Crush Tony Atlas One Man Gang The Mountie Haku Dynamite Kid Mr. Fuji Koko B. Ware Jack Tunney (Great BaF idea!) Brooklyn Brawler The Genius Lanny Poffo The Killer Bees Barry Horowitz Giant Gonzalez Repo Man Mo (Men on a Mission) Slick Duke The Dumpster Droese Harvey Wippleman Adam Bomb The Smoking Gunns Luna Vachon Bull Nakano Ahmed Johnson Marc Mero Jeff Jarrett The Patriot Droz Dr. Death Steve Williams Savio Vega Essa Rios Flash Funk Marlena Hakushi Jim Cornette Aldo Montoya/Justin Credible Sunny (I know, not likely) The Bodydonnas The Godwinns The Headbangers (although this is to likely change) The New Blackjacks Truth Commission Kurrgan Golga Mideon Gangrel Al Snow Sable Funaki (How has Smackdowns "numbah one announcah" not had an Elite yet? Taka Michinoku Disciples of Apocalypse Linda McMahon Hardcore Holly/Bob Sparkplug Holly Crash Holly Spike Dudley Grand Master Sexay Shawn Stasiak/Meat Val Venis Test A-Train/Prince Albert (this is odd too because he's been working with the company forever) Gillberg/Duane Gill Steve Blackman Dan Severn Pete Gas Rodney Joey Abs Lillian Garcia (BaF execution) Jacqueline Ivory Snitsky The Coach Jonathan Coachman Maven Rico Chuck Victoria Queen Sharmell Jamie Noble Tony Chimel (BaF) WCW: Konnan Buff Bagwell The Disciple Billy Kidman Disco Inferno Brian Adams Steve Mongo McMichael Debra Vampiro Perry Saturn LA Parka Ernest The Cat Miller Ultimo Dragon Juventud Guerrera Psychosis Glacier Mortis/Kanyon Alex Wright Norman Smiley ECW: Raven Tazz Sandman Sabu Tommy Dreamer Mike Awesome Lance Storm Shane Douglas Tajiri New Jack Jerry Lynn Steve Corino Super Crazy Stevie Richards Blue Meanie Nova/Simon Diamond Little Guido/Nunzio Out of all of these names, not a single one of them is available??? This is essentially what my “to-do” spreadsheet for customs looks like. Totally agree

I'm working my way towards having a full 1998-2001 attitude era roster but have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer. I've been having trouble getting TTL heads to fit onto elite bodies cleanly. I Dremel much of the plastic out but often times I find that the peg itself is too long. What's the best way to modify this? Just Dremel the top ball down or swap the peg for a smaller one (are they different sizes) or what? Also, other than ordering a 3d printed sculpt from someone, what are some decent workable head sculpts for Taka Michinoku and Essa Rios? I've been thinking a modded Shinsuke may pass for Taka, but I'm not sure. I've tried a couple different things for Essa and nothing looks right. Finally, anybody got a decent recipe for Spike Dudley? There doesn't seem to be anyone in the Elite line with similar size and gear. Thanks Get the jakks bone cruncher taka!

Does the Elite 95 Big E have ball joints or is he on ratchet joints? Every Big E is on ball joints, to my knowledge.

Any recommendations for what double jointed arms would work best for HOF 4-pack Mr. Perfect? Looking for something more fitting for him and want the updated tech (of course skintone matching as well). My understanding is that to do so, you either have to modify the shoulder pegs where the arms fit on or torso crack and replace the shoulders. Elite sami zayn will do the trick.

Can anyone identify the figure that this torso belongs to please? It's the Sheik/Valentine/Erik torso, but with (as you can see) chest hair on it. I've looked around, but can't seem to find the figure that it is from. - looks like Big John Studd I’m pretty sure that is the Ivar torso

All these interchangeable parts are really going to cut down on my loose eBay purchases.

Hmmm - Balor looks pretty bland/disappointing... probably his weakest demon figure yet (which is a shame as he'll be the most expensive one). What takeover is that Finn? That can’t be all the accessories for his entrance greats figure. Kurt only had the medals though and Jeff only had the shirt... as someone pointed out, we're mainly paying for the musical base (and packaging) - the figures themselves are standard Elites (or not even that in Kurt's case!). Come back, Defining Moments... I suppose so. I’ll have to go back and watch the entrance. If that picture is accurate, I guess that’s all he came out with. Still disappointing to me, but at least he’s got the correct torso.

He said/did the same thing to me. He pre-purchased the label and then didn't send for weeks. Wasn't the PO's fault. Dude's a snake. Oh, that might have been my issue too then. I could have sworn the tracking info said it was waiting to proceed to the text shipping terminal, which I just took as having been dropped off to the first one normally it says acceptance of package at post office, or something along those lines. Mine eventually changed to awaiting package and I just didn’t notice right away.

Ring Bling was essentially burnt at the stake for ripping multiple people off in a Customs group on Facebook this week. That’s sad to hear. I ordered from him for the first time recently. The only issue I had was the p ost office took two weeks to get them to me once he had mailed hem. Not his issue though. Got my order Tuesday of this past week. it is, the stuff he made was just as good (some cases better) than what was coming with the actual figures. My first order with him went well. My Black Friday order ended with me opening up a case with USPS and finding out he gave me a fake tracking number for a package that was never actually given to USPS.

Ha! Good luck... I’d order from Ralph’s if he made non-WWE wrestling figure shirts. Mattel covers the WWE roster well. I’m in the market for accessories for custom figures. Good luck? Have some trouble with them? Ring Bling was essentially burnt at the stake for ripping multiple people off in a Customs group on Facebook this week.

M & M Figure Clothing on Facebook and Instagram is a good one also. Cheaper than Ralph’s and ships a lot quicker. Not as many options as Ralph’s has. I’ve ordered from and like both of them. How is the fit? fit well. Some shirts are a little loose around the neck, but just about everything I’ve gotten has been great.

I’ll be giving Ellsworth some Arn/Tully 4-Pack legs at the very least. Maybe the D-Bry legs.

Has anyone attempted an Andrade Cien Almas Elite custom? I can upload a picture later. I used HOF Eddie torso and arms, Reigns elite crotch piece, sin cara legs, and Lex Luger boots.
