We should have a whole thread of everyone's customs of the DM nWo Hogan, I think it would be a cool idea, fun project.

I started to try piecing something together. I bought a E31 Kane, yesterday. That's him without using different calves to adjust height. Torso is probably a Hillbilly Jim, I had lying around. Ryback gloves. Today, I tried using E30 Hawk. I think I wasted $20 on Kane, because I kind of like the Hawk version better. You avoid painting tights black and the tall boots work great with the calves. He's close to HOF height. The head sits high on the peg, though (maybe swap torsos?). Now I need to buy Hawk XD Are the parts on Hawk's tights the exact same (Apart from the length of the calf)?

I would just wait it out. Mattel's still got 4 years on their contract. This will blow over

I've gonna use an Elite 23 HHH as a base for my Hollywood. The torso and arms are the same mold as the HOF figure. Also the tights are already black so I don't have to worry about making sure the joints are painted and sealed enough for the paint to wear off. The skin tone is a bit lighter than HOF Hogan but not enough to bother me. Also he won't have the tall boots, so that part won't be accurate, but I don't wanna have to buy a figure just for the shins and boots.

The hand molds are definitely the same as the DM proto. yeah...and i doubt they used a glove mold hand...because none of the goldust's have closed right hands. U could argue the image might be flipped...but i don't think the Sting image is. Though some of the elite 38 images are reverse...as u can tell from the protos on display that have the closed fist on the opposite side that was shown in the slide show

I'm def seeing the basic arms on this now.

Now I need to buy Hawk XD Are the parts on Hawk's tights the exact same (Apart from the length of the calf)? The Hawk legs have a few tights wrinkles. Hogan's legs look smooth, they might be skin legs molded red. The size looks the same to me.

My elite 33 has normal hands molded in black color. my e25 is a fixup w/ MVP arms...so he has the gloves. i think Goldust/MVP are the only ones that came w/ molded gloves with the wrinkles and everything.
