Ok, I'm back. Sorry about the delay, Christmas was a bit hectic. So, I posted a few pics below.. You'll need a bunch of Q-tips, a small bowl (preferably one you'll never eat from again), and Goof-Off (or similar brand. Not sure if this brand is in the UK)   Next, dip Q-tips into solution and wipe over painted area. Afterwards, run that part of the figure under warm sink water and rub dish soap over solution area with fingers and dry. Again, turned out ok with this old Jannetty. Dont use on torso, though. Be careful to avoid that area. Maybe tape it off since the arm paint is near the shoulders. Good luck!   Great, thanks mate. Again, really appreciate your help. I’ll see if I can find Goof-off here and get started! Hope you had/having a great Christmas! Anytime! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy New Year! |

Thanks! Yeah, it is a Jakks head. I want to do a Spike Dudley but I'm amazed at how few (and crappy) figures he got while in the WWE. I use Goof-Off. It's in a yellow can. I put some in a bowl and grab a bunch of Q-tips. Dip in the solution and rub the paint off with them. You cant use them on the torso's though. It leaves a white film behind. You can only use it on the softer plastic of the arms. I've used it on Retros mostly, but let me test it on an old beat up Marty Jannetty I have so you dont ruin yours. Just to be safe. I'll message back today with a before and after photos. Oh great, thanks mate, really appreciate you doing that for me. Ok, I'm back. Sorry about the delay, Christmas was a bit hectic.

I'm starting to fill-in the mid card, as did our Hasbro forefathers of Hasbros in the later series. Here is a radical idea I had...Perry Saturn!   Great to see your latest updates mate; especially love this Perry Saturn! Is it a Jakks head? Also, if you don’t mind me asking, just wondered if you had any tips for removing paint from hasbros? I’m wanting to remove the bicep bands on Luger & tshirt sleeves on Bam Bam...but don’t want to ruin them! Thanks! Yeah, it is a Jakks head.

Goldberg head swap  The customs that you guys have on here are awesome by the way. It definitely looks better than toothless screaming Alzheimers Goldberg head lol. That's the good thing about the Five Below sale of these. You could load up on customizing fodder. Great work! |

Just as the title says. Does anyone know of a decent enough likeness for customs sake? Thanks

Is now the time to strike online for a Muraco? I haven't seen a single figure in any stores. I know $35-50 sucks, but I dont want a Harley situation here lol He hasn’t been in stores yet. Just their website. And an update on my Muraco order it seems the parcel has been found and it’ll hopefully be arriving today. Thanks for clarifying. I didnt know the release date and seeing it on ebay, I thought these were mass released in stores already. This one is a want for me, too. Congrats, brother! |
