WWF JAKKS CS THERAPY THREAD whats your favorite figures that

[saintpatrick33]

You like but they just frustrate you so much !

Mine is The Giant John Studd scale problem aka my white whale ! IMO the head sculpt is perfect , painted chest and arms are great and the tights and boots rock ! but just to be clear I really only like Jakks Piece mods or Ralphs clothes as I want everything to look like a real Jakks figure and its not a knock to all the great modders but thats just me as I even found a great painter at a very fair price to do my favorite Brutus Beefcake but I cancelled it as I would know its fake and it would drive me nuts ! weird huh ?

Well I tried the Andre leg mod for Big John Studd but the legs looked thin , had to add knee pads and the cool 3 blue stars are then only 1 , I then had alot of hope the ralphs cloth pants might fix the thin leg andre mod look and also add some bulk but it just didnt fit right though JoJo tried her best !

Was gonna try the Studd head on a andre body next but the same custom paint issue would arise so now Im even thinking of going back to the series 6 nipple Andre that I dont care for but it would solve the scale issue greatly even though that figure can hardly stand up or straight  .

I currently use clear risers on the bottom of the feet  and almost did a neck mod where I made his head come of the shoulders and those combined added a 1/2 but once again while it added height Studd had a short neck so I switched it back.

Well thanks for letting me vent as Im very new to the Jakks CS and I think there great and the best hobby I ever had ! I'll post failed mod photos later but has any Jakks figure that you really liked accept for one thing drove you nuts ?

Here was the riser mod I did months ago and currently use

[shanemarvel7]

How do you do that ? Riser mod thing ?

[saintpatrick33]

Hi there just rubber tabs they use on kitchen cabinet doors for spacing you can find in the hardware section of any store but get the thickest ones and cut the round sides off and stick ! looks great for display or play

Another mod I almost did for the Giant John Studd the only true Giant of professional wrestling was to cut off the andre leg at the top of the red boot and then cut the Studd CS figure above the red boot , then drill a pilot hole on both ends and the insert a tiny double threaded screw and turn together.
But sadly the andre red boot ankle looks slightly wider so it wouldnt line up with the white on the CS studd ! Dam it would have been amazing and no paint or knee pads .
If I get a couple of those figures cheap I will surely try it ! and if I recall the thunder lips red boots also have a weird shape so it would also be a uneven match

Oh Maybe if I can find a CS that has long red boots ?

Ok I preform what may be the first boot/ankle transplant on WF next week but should I use the screw or heat steel post method ? and then I will finally have my white whale The Giant John Studd the only true Giant of Pro Wrestling and Bundys #2 and Andrea is #3
