Macho man was about 6'2" and Lex was about 6'4". So not that much difference. I like them as is but I don't think using Macho calves would throw it off too much. Macho Man wasn't no 6'2 his wiki might say that but watch Survivor series 89 when he's in the ring with Bret Hart, they are the same height & nearly same mass. Using Macho calves would throw off the height of the lex figure. Had Lex came Medium pads and white painted calves it would've looked absolutely perfect, but its a damn good figure so I'm not complaining. IMO Macho has always been an oversized figure, but that's ok, he was a larger than life character so his figure can be a lil exaggerated. Macho didn't get HUGE/Ripped until 1999 about the time of his feud with Rodman. IMO all of his wwf era figures should have the Del Rio torso and medium arms. Are you calling wiki a liar? If there's one thing that's for sure, is that if it's on the internet then it has to be real! Haha. I didn't think he was 6'2 but just googled it real quick. I love the figure either way so I'm happy. I just watched summerslam 90 and 91 yesterday. My next day off I plan on doing 88 and 89.

They are a little big and needed to hem them. But these leather Bratz pants help fill out the new Hollywood rock figure. Just need to find a belt buckle. I love how u use the clear elastic to hold your guitar, great idea. But on another topic..why do you own brats clothes??!! :S For reasons like this. I bought a giant lot of bratz clothes on ebay years ago to help with gi joe sigma 6 customs. And I remembered having these leather pants. Thinking outside the box helps when trying to customize.

Got the two figures from Basic 44 I wanted and they immediately became Elite Fix Ups.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I may as well. I today received my Mankind Amazon exclusive and upon opening it the head seemed to be sitting very low on the peg, as in facing downwards, I pushed the head backwards and then the head just fell off. There isn't a crack in the head or on the body so it merely just came out or was put on wrong. Does anyone know how I can fix this without cracking the torso? Here's a picture to give an indication of what it looks like.

JoshI've had that happen to my elite 8 Taker and honestly the only way you'll be able to put the head back on is if you crack it. The ring on the lower end of the ball joint which secures to a peg in the neck is obviously broken so you'd need to replace it if you have an extra or if not you could keep the same one and risk it popping out again but it'd still work.

Thanks for the help Fave. The main reason why I don't want to crack is because of the potential stretch marks that would show up given I do crack the figures. I guess with the shirt Mankind has it won't be visible so I'll just give it a go at some point.

And then force the peg back onto the stem in the neck.

I LOVE that Titus fixup. Great idea. You don't even have to remove the T from his tights.

Really really awesome job on Crush. I keep thinking about making a face and heel Crush but all that detail is daunting. Yours looks fantastic. Seeing yours might just motivate me to start mine!

I think Jakks did a wrestlemania recall RA style angle with hair. That or a finishing moves head(I don't know they did that dumb mid move hair thing they did with most FM figures)

My Entrance Greats Undertaker is screwed up, it has the shirt from The Rock. So my plan to fix it is to get a spare SummerSlam Heritage 1994 Undertaker, and swap the head, arms and leg sleeves. Is there anything about the idea that doesn't work? The Heritage '94 body works for a 90/91 Taker, right? The Heritage Taker has the Sheamus skin tone while the EG Taker has the tan skin tone.
