Well most know of my issue with JAKKS CS version of the Giant John Studd as we all know he was the only true Giant of Professional Wrestling as he was #1 , Bundy #2 and Andrea who he cut his hair was #3 !
Now I tried everything starting with the Andre red boot mod but it made the legs look thin like a mattel and calfs were to big and dont get me started with the white knee pads so I reversed that mod after scrubbing with goof off and a brush for hours and then I tried my clear risers on the bottom of the shoe which is nice for display but not for in ring action .
I was now pretty desperate and I found the Ralphs pants option for the Giant and thought if JoJo could make them just perfect it would give the Andre red boot mod even a bulkier look but it was not to be see photo though JoJo tried her best but dont you gotta love Ralphs for all they do for us !
My next stop was to go full blown Andre torso and hire a painter but it would then greatly effect the scale with Hogan and such so heres what I came up with and since Andre mid 80s was already broken down I even added some bad posture to balance the scale so is my Studd leg surgery Mod a Studd or a Dud ?
I try to always keep everything natural Jakks so its fully poseable and I used no glue , paint decals ect but I was bummed when I noticed the Ankle of my donors boot was a slightly different color then the heel foot part on both sets I used ? And thats why I love Jakks always something wild just when you think you beat them !
