I wanted to make a current flair because i loved the head and arms from the latest RA 31 Flair but hate anything not DA. Of course the William Regal body I used was naturally way too cut (for Regal included) so I had to resculpt the whole torso, back and chest to remove some of the definition and add that saggy charm. Then I repainted the body to match the head, painted the trunks and the monogram and then done! I really like how it turned out, it adds diversity to my DA collection with a new body type. I could have gone more accurate but I still wanted him to fit in with the other DA figures. I think it looks closer to his body type if you compare it to Shaw below who shares the same torso. For Shawn its a basic fix up more or less with resculpting the back of his hair from the to dudes with addittude Shawn, the best Shawn head and he even has his stubble which he's sporting again nowadays. I also swapped with DA 12 arms. For Batista, I used the lastest DA 12 body with the latest RA 31 head and pads. Not only were the skin tones terribly mismatched, but jacks painted the hairline and eyebrows crooked. Repainting the whole head gave it a much more realistic look.

I like the mods on the Flair. Chest looks almost spot on to how he is now a days. All are fairly simple customs, but effective and work. Nicely done.

I'm not too much a fan of the skintones but they aren't terrible.

Flair - I would take out some of the definition in his thighs, push his kneepads down lower, and give him the black I.E. 'Naitch robe.
Good ol' HBK - I would modify the head. Especially the hair. His body isn't that toned, either, and has chest hair.
Batista - Looks perfect.
On a side note, I would also like to say that white athletic or plumber's tape makes a great wrist tape for figures if you cut them in strips and wrap them around their wrist. It's very realistic looking.

Get a Rhythm, thats all good advice and suggestions and I'd have to say i agree with almost everything.
Any suggestions on what black, or Gold Flair robe would work? Even if its not a flair robe. I like the one that came with the classic DA Flair but I'd want something to mod to be even better with the thick sholderpads etc. whats the best robe that Jakks made?
Great advice on the tape, I will buy some because I want to tape up the new HHH's legs.
In regards to the skin tones it has a lot to do with the photos and the poor lighting I had, the HBK and Batista body are straight out of the factory as i did not repaint them. Just the head and Flair's body. I'll try and post better pictures later.

All are exceptional. Flair looks fantastic and my only slight problem with it is the line in the gut, id just make it a smooth bulge.
As for HBK, the head is spot on as is batistas. Batistas head looks incredbily realistic.
Great work.

Nice work on Flair's torso. I like that a lot.
That HBK head is a different skin tone than Jakks Vanilla, if you want one that works the Montreal set head is normal Jakks Vanilla skin tone. The upcoming CSDA should be as well (Also the same head).
As for best Flair robe, The IE Flair, IMO, has the best robe, but I'm not sure how easy they are to come by now. Might cost you a bit.
