The new basic Shayna headscan with the lightning eye makeup matches perfectly to her gear on the takeover elite  |

Has anyone done a torso (w head) swap of the Elite 96 Hulk Hogan torso onto the Elite 91 legs?
Or made an updated 05/06 Hogan with the new Torso/Skintone & darker beard removed?

I haven’t done the torso swap but all you really need to do is swap the boots, bandana, and add the knee brace and you have a perfect 05 Hogan. |

I did this with the torso from the Target 4 pack and the legs from E91. Then I used the head from the Amazon ultimate and a Jakks weight belt. imgur.com/gallery/hogan-fix-up-jd5GFPC |

I did put the elite 91 legs on an old dark tan hogan elite and it looks great . |

Would it be possible to get an Ultimate Edition chest on a pair of basic trunks?
I've seen a few basic to elite conversions with LA Knight etc, and I'm wondering if the same general idea would work with an UE torso?
Looking to do this with the CC Piper, as his new basic has a way more accurate blue color.

Anyone here ever heat a torso up too much that the plastic warped? Any advice on a potential fix or has anyone ever fixed this?

Has anyone found a somewhat simple way to put the new style ultimate torsos onto elite trunks?

Used the WCW Ultimate Edition Warrior to make a WWF Texas Tornado, just swapped over the legs from the Legends 6 Kerry Von Erich.   |
