Do you guys remember Survivor Series 1993 when Bret, Owen, Bruce, and Keith faced Shawn Michaels and Jerry Lawler's knights. Owen, Bruce and Keith wore the Black Bret Hart singlets and Bret wore the all pink singlet without long tights. I thought this was a cool look, kind of unique and different for The Hitman. Also I believe this was Owen's first time wearing his iconic black singlet. Fun memories. That was also when Owen turned on the family. What I really remember was that Bret and Owen had cool singlets and Kieth and Bruce had crap singlets in comparison.

Apoc, let us know how that turns out. I like how your Sgt. Slaughters turned out after you painted them a second time. I am really impressed with what everybody's done here it fascinates me. I've only done some head and arm and leg swaps. Haven't worked my way up to cracking a torso or painting just yet. I mostly collect Macho Man, Stone Cold, and CM Punk figures, I have a Rock figure too.

For sure, ill post pics of my martel within the next 2 weeks when my rsc order arrives. Id recommend trying a torso crack on a figure you cant take a chance on (using hot water to crack) but its very addictive and will burn holes in your wallet thanks for the words on my slaughters

What I really remember was that Bret and Owen had cool singlets and Kieth and Bruce had crap singlets in comparison. I think its because the shorts are separate and since Keith and Bruce were just making one time appearances at this Event they didn't try as hard to blend. Where as Bret and Owen were permanent full-time guys. Do you remember Owen's blue outfit that looked like Bret's except it was blue, I think it might have had pink or red on the sides?

Id recommend trying a torso crack on a figure you cant take a chance on (using hot water to crack) but its very addictive and will burn holes in your wallet thanks for the words on my slaughters Ideally what I want to try is to put a Jakks UFC Brock Lesnar head/arms/torso on a Mattel Legends Demolition Smash lower half, and acetoning off the studs on the tights and the chest tattoo, and being brave in trying to paint the tailbone design on the back of the trunks. That and I want to make a late 80's/early 90's Hulk Hogan. If I knew I could be super steady and accurate with the paint I would try to make Elite version that were more accurate versions of CM Punk/Macho Man battle pack. I just don't see getting the stars and text to look professional. I hate basic legs and crotch pieces, when you move the legs it distorts whatever design is on the trunks area. Yeah money is an issue. I kind of blew a third of my tax-return money on figures and the Elite Scale Ring. I've only been collecting since December, when I first picked up a CM Punk Elite 11 at Walmart, and then in January i picked up a Macho Man Legends 5 at Toys R Us, and then I had to buy the RSC Macho King, and it just kind of snowballed. The only Jakks I had prior to this was The Hollywood Blondes, just because I ran across them in 2007 at Toys R Us, and remember how cool of a team they were back in the day. Then like about a month ago when I got my tax returns, I was like I have to get a Stone Cold Steve Austin, then I was like I have to get a Rock, and so o an so forth.

I had talked about this for a little bit and now there are here. My Bret Hart fixups. Simple torso swaps, but I think they look fantastic. I still cant get over how awesome these look

Im "toying" with the idea of switching arms out on this torso swap with the BOPPV bret. (the more muscular ones) since he was in fact more muscular back in the day. Feedback?

While I think the larger arms would match up well on the other Bret figures...I just feel then they'd make him look too large when compared to everyone else he's displayed with. Especially Shawn who already looks too small because they keep giving the smallest/thinest arms to him.

Curiosity has got the best of me now. PS I think I'm really digging my Jericho fix-up the more I see it next to others.

What do you guys use to seal your figures to keep them pose able? Especially skin tone.

Feedback? the only thing i would change on those brets are the kneepads and maybe the haircut pj did. weird that savage and brets arms are the same size but the figures arms are very different. anyways just my opinion but i think the arms are good as is Im interested to see it done anyhow

hi, intros out the way
just like to say all your stuff in general dean70 is great, in fact i hope you dont mind, but im using the same technique of tanning with polish as you did with your goldberg, to tan a hogan im making, thanks for the inspiration,
those arms add noticable bulk , nice one, what we need is a macho man body with a scuplted vest singlet, bret seemed to be a heavy bencher
and muccguy88 i envy you so much right now

yea, darken the skin tone with shoe polish, here is what i've done , the legs have not been touched, its a very delicate task however to distribute the polish evenly, its a hillbilly jim btw

Nothing major but I've been toying with this idea for a while now for the RRH Hitman and seeing I'm on a "Hitman High" this weekend I decided to just do it already. I still need to add the heart and give hime better glasses (probably the ones that came with the Battle Packs Rock)

I don't have a Bossman yet. Here's the heart although it should be a little more to his left, but that would have put it in the articulation point. So this will have to do
