Hey! I am not sure if this is an okay place to ask so my apologies if its not, but I came across the new Ultimate Warrior basic at Toys R us today. I wanted to attempt to do the elite version of Warrior since I have the All Stars Macho Man. My question is what would I need to do in order to do this? I know I have to swap out the head, arms, boots etc. But would I have to crack any torsos or add body parts from another figure? Also, how do I acetone off the stars off of Macho's trunks? Any tips would be greatly appreciated from someone who has or is planning to do this themselves. Thank you in advance! Cheers!  |

Yes there would need to be a torso crack of a elite warrior figure. Also most basic boots don't fit elite legs. these happen to fit texas tornado legs though. So you would have to put warrior torso on macho trunks. just that warriors arms if it L6 warrior. then you will have to take macho calves down off and switch it with texas tornado calves and use those basic warrior boots and kneepads. To acetone off logos just use a qtip and acetone. then it will get shiny so you will want to spray it with some dullacoat from model masters. Its a clear coat that dulls the finish. If you wanna sell those macho calves and boots PM me please.

If you wanna sell those macho calves and boots PM me please. You're awesome man! Would I need to superglue the base of the torso to Macho's trunks or do they pop in? I have the torso from a Kerry Von Erich, would the torso and calves work for this? I don't have any dull coat, would that mess up the acetone technique or is that a must? Thank you very much for the tips mate! Its very much appreciated!! I'll PM you. |

Thank you very much for the tips mate! Its very much appreciated!! I'll PM you. no problem glad I could help. Dullacoat is a must in my book, but no It's not a must it just makes it look better. No please don't glue the torso to the trunks. when you crack it there is pegs just use a drop of glue and glue them back together or if they break then a little glue around the edge of the torso ad keep movint it till the glue dries so the torso doesn't get stuck to the trunks. Honestly if your not comfortable with doing this and wanted to send me the figures I would just do it for you for nothing just pay the shipping. I hate to see a messed up figure especially one that could be that nice and close to factory looking. Anyways feel free to pm me if you need any help or just want to talk figures. |

Here's a quick and simple swap job w/ Von Eric calves. The bigger torso looks better, but this isn't too bad if you are not comfortable doing torso swaps.  |

I used the All-Stars trunks bad hips. The Texas Tornado's torso, thighs & calves and Warrior's head, arms & boots.
