I'm planning on making a basic figure of Dean Ambrose in his new attire. I'm new to customs, so I'm wondering if anyone could suggest any ideas as to what parts to use? I plan on using his Basic 33 head. I want him in his white vest and blue jeans.
Any ideas?

I too have been mauling this over for awhile now. I had thought about trying to use the jeans from the T-Shirt series Randy Savage and using a black tank top from the Elite Rocks. It wouldn't be perfect, but more than passable.

Make an elite like i did. Recipe is: Battle pack dean head and arms Defining moments Austin Tna aj styles jacket And make your own shirt. It was very simple to make Also you'll need paint which I get mine from hobby lobby and bread bag ties to use as drawstrings for the hoodie. Hope this helps!

I love your fix up, but problem for me is, I don't collect elites because of how hard it is in my area of England to get my hands on them

There hasn't been a good basic jeans mold. The basic means have no pockets molded into them and look like bell bottoms. I would go Elite and either use the DM Austin or TRU WM Austin jeans.

I love your fix up, but problem for me is, I don't collect elites because of how hard it is in my area of England to get my hands on them The best thing is to buy one from eBay it's a pricey custom cause I spent Body- $15 Head and arms (from Battlepack)- $20 Paint- $8 Shirt- $1 Vest- $5 Bread ties- $1 (bought a loaf of it) So overall it cost 50ish to get parts but it looks good.

Easiest thing you could do, wouldn't be cheap but doable, is get a Harper basic and swap the arms at the shoulder to some smaller ones.. It's the same jeans mold as Vince/t-shirt Macho Man and a generic tank top mold, but he does have big arms. So, if you swapped the head and the arms from Ambrose's battle pack figure it would be pretty much perfect. The vest and stuff would be more of a cost but that is the simplest custom you could do.

Or just use any figure with the head and arms and buy the clothes from Ralph's. Lazy mans custom, but it always works.
