Holy moly! That’s a great assortment! I’m really impressed with the customs and the level of commitment to documenting his different attires.

The love is stronger than my wallet, so I’m careful with picks now. As this point I had to turn in my horse for a drum, cause I can’t stop beating lol It’s obvi a lot of my deepest favorite stuff doesn’t get made, but I’m grateful to still like a ton of wrestlers both as people or think they’d work great in my fantasy territory system, so that’s the main way I collect; and of course custom fodder lol
My other favorite stuff to collect are random figures from small companies that just make me really happy Along with the Super7 Reaction/Retro style 5POA/3.74 scale figures like the Star Wars retro, princess bride, Hendrix, and all the weird and random characters we get from lines like that. I hope I never truly peak, but I know I’ll have to let go of different figures I’ve gotten over the years who didn’t matter as much.
My biggest problem is how many “stand-ins” I’ve made that nobody would want but me cause they’re only scarce resemblances to the intended wrestler cause sometimes I’m not a great customizers or I have no energy from being disabled 😅

Ok so, I got the Bull Dog boots on Harley and it looks amazing but I need some opinions. Would you guys acetone off the socks? I watched Starrcade 83 again and noticed Harley did not have noticeable high socks on during the match and now I’m contemplating acetoning them off completely but I can’t decide. What do you guys think? Also, I won’t be able to post pictures for awhile because I’m heading out to the west coast. Not worth the risk of harming the figure. I’m sure it looks fantastic. I know mine does!

You don’t have to know who it is I’m just saying where I found out it was a baf torso I was going to say "Alex West is a person of great historical significance, and everyone should know who he is" but I just couldn't stop laughing. 🤣🤜🤛 Touché I wasn’t sure if he was super popular like that Grimms dude

http://instagram.com/p/C7Nd6iZsm57 My first new photo from the set is up! Yes, I added a custom necklace, a bandanna, and feathers. The figure is posed entirely using practical effects and no special editing.

Who told you it was a BAF torso? I can confirm it is. Nivro™ asked me to check this morning on instagram. Popped right apart. This might be the single weirdest development of this entire set, which is saying a LOT.

I always forget that because I have never successfully swapped torsos or crotch pieces; my bad😅 It’s a baF torso just pull it off and add a lex Luger one or British bulldog.. Who told you it was a BAF torso?

I’m a stickler for detail, so if someone was posing the figure and passing it off as Cody or another white personal, I’d paint it or carefully pose it to ensure you couldn’t see the skin difference You could just swap the torso I always forget that because I have never successfully swapped torsos or crotch pieces; my bad😅

That’s why I suggested painting the exposed skin and doing a headswap in the main post You probably don’t need to paint the hands just swap them. Maybe even the torso since it looks like the new baf ones used for Virgil and lex I’m a stickler for detail, so if someone was posing the figure and passing it off as Cody or another white personal, I’d paint it or carefully pose it to ensure you couldn’t see the skin difference

I’d love to see someone make a suited cody out of the Ali That’s why I suggested painting the exposed skin and doing a headswap in the main post

Mine arrived today. You were one of the main people I was hyped to see get this set, cause I knew you would take good photos of it.

Okay, seriously, how are y’all getting these? It’s been three days since these went live! And thanks for the comparison photo!🤜🤛 Got mine today. Ordered as soon as they went up. They had them ready to go. That’s why I’m confused cause I literally watched the countdown clock go to zero and I’m amazed they’re out THIS fast. And I’m worried about the quality control issues from Mattel not taking enough time with these.

Got my set today… Harley’s hair looks gray. They didn’t paint one of the sideburns on Monsoon. Billy Graham and the wwwf title are the stars of this set imo. Didn’t even take Ali out of the package, I already have the ref, I’m good. How did you get it already?!??

Somebody tell Alex West to put nwa Harley next to king Harley Nwa looks a tad short I’ll do a comparison, but those boots and body are supposed to be the exact same as his greatest hits elite.

Learning stuff is important, and I felt the observation was important to mention since there is a disconnect between modern people in general and their history. I wasn’t trolling or acting like I had written the damned history, I’m just echoing it cause people missed out. Especially when lots of people in the hobby are regular folks who don’t have time to study a ton. I work in education so I consider it a privilege to add informative stuff wherever I can cause it enriches our lives. Sir, this is a Wendy's. No, it’s my ing thread and I’ll do what I want😂
