I finally have the Torrie Wilson I've always wanted. For those who know me on here - I loathed the RA22 scan. Also not a fan of the tan skintone being used on most of the Divas these days (I think they should only use it for Melina & Layla - Divas of color who aren't actually black). Anyway - I used the GAB Torrie for the head. By far my favorite Torrie scan, and skintone. I used RA28's hair. The RA22 hair was too orange. And then I used Kelly Kelly's body. She & Ariel are the only Divas with new body mold who don't have the tan skin. I also slapped on RA28 Victoria's elbow & kneepads to give Torrie a more complete look. I'm pretty happy.     |

Thanks guys. Like I said - I'm pretty happy with the end result. She's got a nice place in the center of my collection. My Kidman figure is looking kinda mopey these days, knowing he lost out on Torrie.  |

Looks nice, but I think that scan is tremendously overrated.

I love the custom figure. The only thing I don't like is the attire; it doesn't look like something Torrie would wear. I know it's Kelly Kelly's body and attire though. A very simple paintjob would make it look perfect!

I really like the hair swap. I wish I could figure that one out.. anywho! The only thing that really bothers me is the arms. It's just that they hands and forearms are bigger then her upper arms. Not a huge deal but  So what did you do with that Kelly Kelly head :[ |

Not a huge deal but So what did you do with that Kelly Kelly head :[ Thanks. For the hair swap, I carefully removed the hair from both of the heads. I turned the RA28 hair inside out and used an exacto to carefully slice of the ridge that JAKKS uses to help glue hair in place. I also hollowed out the part near the forehead just a bit (it was raising off her head a little too much). Kelly Kelly is on a GAB Torrie body for the moment, but will eventually be retired or something. I'm not too up in arms about losing her for the display - I like the upcoming RA31 Kelly WAY better. |

Unlike the Torrie's that Jakks is releasing now, that scan actually looks like her. With the newer hair it looks even better.
Could be the most lifelike of the female figures I've ever seen.

I think this is great you did a nice job with the part switches and this is by far more realistic than anything Jakks is producing right now. For starters Torrie is about the only one who will fit those.........shall we say "proportions".

Awesome compliment. Thanks a lot. I've always liked the first scan, too. I can't even figure out how the second scan got past Jeremy.

The new mold really only works for Torrie, Candice & Ashley, who are all thin and, uh, stacked. Using it for Kelly & Victoria was a poor choice, IMO. |

I did a torrie using that head and hair but i hated how the forehead and hairline looked so i switched the hait with ECW2 kellys(After reapinting it) and it looks great, But yours looks much better then mine did.

That is a smokin' Torrie. I really like how you swapped out the hair. It really is the definitive look of Torrie an I wish Jakks would have done that. However, I do agree with some on the board in saying that maybe a repaint on the clothing would enhance what you have done. Great figure.

That looks great...when I saw how yours turned out I swapped the scan on my RA 28 Torrie as well I did'nt like the hair line after I glued the hair on..... so I cut the tips off of the ends of my spare RA 22 torrie's hair and carefully glued it to the front of her hairline and gave her a wavy bane and it turned out great and her hair turned out very wavy looking but Torrie wears her hair like that some time anways thanks for the idea! |

Sweet! A really good Torrie. I still like the RA 28 better, but this resembles her more. If she was wearing pink, with pink leggings, that would look tons better. Or blue.
