Is it just me, but in PJ's first pic (the group shot), doesn't Duggan look a lot shorter than the others? The guy is 6' 3, so he should be taller than Pillman for sure. He just looks a lot shorter than the others in the pic. I'm not sure but it might just be the angle of the pic I took (front looking downward) plus his legs(hips) were stiff so they are slightly bent. It was the angle. He's as tall as Pillman I had to slightly bend his knees to get his to stand but he is the same height

Awesome figures. Legends 3 is my favorite Legends set so far. I'm gonna run out of money with these LOL! Perfect, Vader, Bulldog and Pillman are all MUST buys!

I don't have a pic, but I do remember him having a yellow backed blue singlet. I'm sure there's pics of it on his DVD Great picture i'm a big fan! Couple of question's. 1. If you have taken the forearms off of SCSA or Hawk did you put Mr Perfects on one of them? 2.Which one and why? 3.Which figure did you get the kneepads from? These question's are for anyone. I dont want to make a topic for them. How do you replace Knee pads, hands, arm's, forearms? Thanks and +karma to anyone who help's I just used Austin's upper arms on him because they are slightly meatier at the bottom of the bicep. I kept Perfects's forearms, because of the white wrist tape. ( Austins has black) I took the knee pads from an extra Orton I have. As for swapping parts - I just heat the joints I'm going to swap with a hairdryer for a minute or two. Pop them off and then just pop on the new ones. Boots, Upper arms and wrists just pop off. For parts with pins in them (elbows, knees, ankles, hands) you heat the parts the same way and then just pop one side of the part off of the pin. I use my fingers, but you can use a flat head screwdriver. Then to put the pips back in I use a needlenose pliers. To remove/add the knee pads I first remove the boots. Then I just slide the pads off/on. My other Mr Perfect just arrived. You can see in this pic the figure on the left his arm looks more defined and has a smooth curve at the end of his bicep. But the figure on the right has Austins upper arms which are less defined, but have a greater drop at the end of the bicep. Awesome and this guy has -10 karma Shameful! Lets all bump him up. I already have in the past too... I will be using your techniques in the future . Do you prefer your Austin with slightly smaller more defined arm's? Is it more accurate do you think?

Of the top of my head as I have been looking the last couple of days - Vader - 6'5 Mr Perfect - 6'3 The Rock - 6'5 Hacksaw Jim Duggan - 6'3 Pillman - 5'10 (billed 6'0) Bulldog - 5'11 I wonder who the problems are,,,? Pillman or Hacksaw maybe Bulldog's too big aswelll? Pillman should match Steamboat...

The Austin was an extra one I got off ebay for $5 a while back...So he was just used for parts

Hopefully this hasn't been asked...
Does Vader have a glove mold or just painted gloves?

Thanks Jon Hopefully this hasn't been asked... Does Vader have a glove mold or just painted gloves? He has an actual padded glove mold, but not the same as the Taker.

They are both made out of a soft rubber so they are very flexable.

I'm suprised no one has said anything about this, but I think there might be a variant Vader, because the MOC pics we saw had the black mask on in the package, but PJ's has the red mask on in the package.

Hey PJ, is Vader taller than Dusty? I want to make a Cactus Jack and wondering if I should wait to get an extra Vader or just use a Dusty.
Thanks man.
