So I was watching some old school NWA on the network and was thinking about putting together custom rrock and roll express figures. The problem is that I don't know what heads to use for Morton and Gibson. Anyone have any suggestions?

Plain black all the way! I totally blanked on what event this attire was from. Thanks for the heads up! That match is from Summerslam 08, I believe.

Mattel, I am dissapoint. 2 things: 1. couldn't you have cut up the arms of the coat, cut around the shoulder, and unwrapped it like a taco, ensuring that you won't scratch the paint off? 2. since you have the basic, you try torso cracking both and switch out the arms

Your plan to avoid scratching the paint is to mutilate the coat?
You are completely absurd.

so you want me to not mutilate a terrible plastic coat, and would want me to get paint problems
surely you are the smartest person here

Its not our fault for taking the coat off. Its mattel for putting it on too soon. The e31 Ambrose had silver marks on his neck from the dog tags being wet still. These are already damaged, but I will fix it with some black paint.
long story short, I don't mind too much, its minor. But Mattel should take note of several figures with accessories leaving marks or scratching paint

Your opinion does not justify mutilating a part of the product you paid for just to prevent another part from getting damaged. The paint problems are almost certainly there regardless of how the coat removed.

If the coat wasn't on ; the tattoo would've looked neater and cleaner imo

Yeah seriously they need to stop this rubber trend they have been doing. I rather have them skip it altogether and not waste the budget.

E33 Cesaro for sake of not having to goof off the thigh straps what is a good thigh swap for him so I can just throw some medium black pads on him when he arrives and he's golden

E23 Cesaro. How do you do a thigh swap? Just like any boil and pop... Boil water. Submerge the figure in water for a few minutes. Pop legs off st thigh. Separate upper knee joint. Remove pin. Rinse and repeat for both figures.

Hey guys, currently in the process of making a Marty Scurll figure and was wondering on what the best head choice would be? At the moment, I'm edging towards an Elite 29 Damien Sandow.

Imo he already resembles Sandow too much so there's very little room for customizing to give the sandow head a new identity. I would suggest RA 13 Tyson Tomko
