What Mattel elite body’s would be good for
Hawk & Animal?
I have the basic Hawk & Animal heads and blue shoulder pads.
I’ve painted the shoulder pads black and silver
Now I’m looking for body’s for the two.
I thought maybe the Rusev elite 46(I think it was) would be great for Animal but if I added different boots it would be ALOT taller than it should be.
I’m really lost for the two at the moment
Any suggestions?
Thanks

i Recommend Elite 83 Warlord as a base for Animal and any figure that uses the classic Triple H bodybuilder torso is perfect for Hawk since that’s the torso they used for the second and third version they produced.

The Acension (big guy) is a good solid base that uses the Lesnar torso also, can't be that expensive on the aftermarket...it's the Acension lol |

I struggled to find one under 30$. I keep trying to find a good picture of the first legends Hawk figure torso cause I know it’s different but Hawk was muscular |

Ringside has both the royal rumble austin and the stunning Steve for good prices if you want to use those as bases. I made a heftier version of Terry funk using the royal rumble elite austin as a base and the legends five Terry funk head. I covered the calf tattoo with athletic tape to look like Terry was nursing a calf injury or portraying one to have another spot to hide a foreign object. I also used the stunning Steve to make a bigger version of Adam Cole by switching the head from a basic 90 something Adam onto the elite and dressed the trunks to a plain black. Both look like 240 something heavyweight wrestlers. Also painting the legs to look like plain black tights would be rather easy. |
