so I got the preview pack in. My Roadblock's arm was about to break as was the case with Spin Doctor's. I boiled and popped the arm and determined the peg system that attaches the forearm to the bicep was to big. I took an exacto out and cut it down. Not too happy with the figure still, he looks pretty boring, so I went and painted the straps. I thought it would be cool to have a Rock t-shirt on, so I printed a slogan off a Rock shirt. It came out ok, it's held on with glue from a glue stick, so if I decide I don't like it it can be washed right off. I wanted the Rock tattoo's, but there was no way (and the Rock means NOOO WAY) my hand is steady enough to sharpie those on. I compromised by painting the spots flat black where the tat's are, and then gently scraped away with an exacto for an hour until I was satisfied with the look. The new hand came from a Roc figure..not sure which one. I dabbed superglue on the end to make the peg bigger, waited until it dried, the popped it in. Fits just as snug as his regular hand.

All in all I am happy with it, but looking forward to the 3 pack version.

That really does put boot soles to ass holes. It's grade A!

Shame about the arm pegs. Hope that gets sorted. The figure looks really cool with your mods.

Awesome job on the tats - don't know if I'm brave enough to try that, but he looks perfect!

That tattoo looks great and what a clever way to do it. I'll have to remember that technique if I ever need to do one.

The tats look great. I've done it before but never on something that complicated and large. I don't envy you.

Did you have to do the left shoulder tattoo as well? I thought that was shown in the movie so shouldn't the figure come with it?

Great work!

I like the paint updates you did on him and I hope that the joint problem is not on all of the RB figures that come out. I guess I would have thought that you could find a pic of his bull tat online as you did with the Boots to asses shirt logo

yeah.. might be awhile before I do a Tattoo that large again. If I had a slightly sharper knife, I think it would have come out a little cleaner yet. It's not 100% accurate either. Google Rock's tattoo... that would be an insane amount of detail work. I'm ok with what I did here though.

Nice mods.

Looks like we had different arm issues, though. Mine was totally unsalvageable.

I have a feeling that will be a much copied technique in years to come. Genius.
