Official Fix-Up Thread

I made a post on IG showing how I swapped elite 100 Rock lower half onto the new style UE torso from the Target Rock.

You don't need to reinforce the areas I did with sculpt. I only did that because that Rock torso has ridiculously brittle inner workings.

Basically you need to cut away and ground out some of that white rubbery plastic block.

Are there any 2006-2012 Taker elites on ball joints?

[Camp Cornette]

That's an awesome rock but that's a lot of modding unfortunately

Thanks Bill

Nice has anyone tried this with flair yet to get a better suited flair

any suggestions for a Bart Gunn head? Billy unveiled at SDCC but I'm guessing they dont have the rights to Bart.

I feel like you could take almost any generic head, sculpt a moustache and swap billys hair painted darker on it and it would work.

You could also get one from warsmans 3d sculpts

Does anyone know if the original ringside Cactus Jack figure has ratchet hips or balljoints?

Is there a figure that uses the Keith Lee Elite torso? Couldn't place one through my collection. Thinking it might work better for Terry Gordy.

[Apocalypse]

Normally i dont show anything at this stage but im working on a U.E Million Dollar Man with a plastic suit instead of the barbie suit the c.c is coming with

Now i really hope the jacket fits this body or im gonna be screwed

TheXtremisT I followed your method you posted above on the ultimate torso swap mods. I tried with the new Target undertaker but was unsuccessful. I could get everything to fit flush and tight but the torso would still just pull straight off the peg(pulling upward)

I feel like the elite trunks peg wasn't wide enough to stay in tight but I also may not have stiffened the little clip that broke enough(where you used molding)

Do you think the broken clip was probably my main issue? I've got another Taker coming today and I'd like to try again

Some Ultimate Hogan’s I put together

Sorry to hear that dude. If you could send pictures to me on IG or even a video call, I could see about helping you throughout as best I can from behind a screen lol

Thank you. I'm going to attempt another Undertaker swap and follow your steps. If I run into issues I will reach out via Instagram

Thanks again

AS IT TURNS OUT MATTEL, IT WAS I WHO WON THE MONDAY NIGHT WARS



🤮🤮🤮🤮

GET RID OF THE MINI KICKPAD MOLD MATTEL WE ALL HATE IT

my solution:



so i sacrificed a basic 74 Neville lower legs and an elite 100 Stunning Steve upper legs. you can see that unfortunately with this new parts choice, we are losing just a tad bit of height and that upper tight detail for RVD's singlet--but everything is cool when youre R-V-D. i can also say with 100% certainty that although we are LOSING some height it is closer to being accurate to other RVD elite figures than the original figure was.
