I feel your sentiments. I just started back up in December after not having bought a figure in nearly 12 years. We all go through the ups and downs with collecting. Do whatever makes you happy.

What customs can be made from these? Any help would be appreciated. I'm using the Windham torso for a Stunning Steve Austin and the head for Shane Douglas, and Tully is gonna get some alterations to be Dynamite Kid. The Arn body is a great generic body after you remove the chest hair. Edit: Oh, and I used the Windham legs for my Dustin Rhodes.

Target really screwed themselves by assigning both 4-packs the same DCPI. However, their stupidity is my gain as I picked up an extra Heenan set for $24.99.

My next fix up/custom: I need to swap out the calves to get the scale corrected, but I'm liking the Windham torso. Thoughts? Id use Bryan torso Alright, you were right and I was wrong - is that what you wanna hear??? Haha - I'm loving the way this is turning out! Everything was taken apart, painted, and sealed before being reassembled. Gonna give it a few more coats and then seal it before I start the side designs. Trying to figure out if I should go decals or not.

Picked up 2 sets for custom fodder, but there were still 15 left so I don't know that this sale is gonna put a dent in these. FYI Target partners with Goodwill, so if they don't move 'em on sale, they'll go to clearance, get marked down 2-3 times and finally end up at Goodwill for like $10 bucks.

booberrysm its up to you, but that torso is used on Windham, JBL, Barrett I think. So in mattel scale its going to look weird next to his other elites and cruiserweights Good call - hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend to me a figure that has the new ball-jointed legs that matches Windham's skin tone so I could do a leg swap to make the figure a little shorter as a Shane Douglas fix-up? Thanks!! For my Douglas I used a L1 hawk torso and arms. The first elite cody rhodes legs. Kerry von Erick crotch and boots. Windham head. That's a very nice formula, however, he's looking for an easier solution the doesn't involve too much part swapping. I'd say maybe E32 Cody Rhodes legs? They're ball joints and might get you in scale with other figures. Shane Douglas was only 6'0" so it might be a bit of a challenge considering the Windham torso is a touch longer than most. Good luck!

Windham does have the easy ball joints but I wouldn't use the Windham torso for Douglas. If you have the 4 Horseman pack then I'd use Arn or Tullys body for him. Just a thought. Do those figures have the same ball-jointed legs? THAT might be my solution... I'm hoping to keep the Windham body as a base so I can keep the black trunks as well... Unfortunately, the Arn and Tully have the old style legs so you can't even do a switch at the "thigh" joint. If you want black trunks and a better suited body you might consider an Austin with a head swap.

Working on the start of a very simple Shane Douglas fix-up using the Barry Windham as a base. I want to do as simple a leg swap as possible to make him shorter. Can anyone recommend what legs I could use? Also not sure if this is a figure with easily detachable ball joint legs. Any advice? Edit: I'm not skilled/patient enough to do partial leg swaps (like swapping just the lower leg) so anything that's an easier level of difficulty to that would be super. Thanks! Windham does have the easy ball joints but I wouldn't use the Windham torso for Douglas. If you have the 4 Horseman pack then I'd use Arn or Tullys body for him. Just a thought.

My WCW Dustin Rhodes WIP: upload a gifGotta tweak the skin tone of the head to be a touch darker and then sculpt the hair but it's coming along nicely so far. Thoughts?

Got mine at a Target in Kissimmee, FL. They didn't have the DCPI in their system either so they used HOF Austin and gave it to me for $20.99. Beginning to think these were never suppose to see the shelves until March but they accidentally jumped the gun since they didn't know any better.

Thinking of using a Tully for an AJ Styles. I see a small similarity in facial features plus it's already a great height and it's already got the chest hair but I haven't decided yet. May not ever do it because I'm lazy Not a bad idea - I'm thinking of using my Tully for a Dynamite Kid but I don't know yet.
