I have problems with some of the arms. I felt like Legends Hawk and Stone Cold arms were too small for their body/frames. I thought the WMH Austin's arms were freakishly large for the body.

I passed on the Ezekiel/Koslov pack, even though I kinda wanted the Koslov headscan to replace on his Elite, because Big Zeke definitely didn't look right and I'd rather wait for a better Elite version of him. Mattel should make a large bulky body type for Ezekiel Jackson and have it in reserve for larger wrestlers like Goldberg or Brock Lesnar! (If they ever get signed to make figures)
I'm usually ok with how most of the Mattels look but I'd say that John Cena and Triple H always look a bit too cut and muscular around the chest, abs, and thighs.

I passed on the Zeke/Koslov pack now, kinda wish I'd got it (as well as series 4 Harts) so I'd have the stand and tag for future Zeke figures.

This is a bit off topic, but speaking of the WM26 Elites, did Taker ever wear an 18-0 t-shirt? I only watch wrestling periodically now so I honestly don't know, but it doesn't seem like something UT would do.
On topic, I agree with updog about elite taker's arms being too short. other flaws like his goatee not being painted right prevented me from buying it. I'm more than happy with my RR Heritage UT...what an amazing figure.

Legends Stone cold is too skinny, should at least be the same size as Legends Rock.

I think Perfect is too tall and too skinny. Legends Steamboat is too small/skinny as well. I am hoping we see a WrestleMania 3 Steamboat with a more solid torso. Although I think the 2-pack Steamboat is damn near perfect.

How about being too skinny? Hacksaw and Mr. Perfect are good examples. So too is elite Goldust. The latter two look absolutely ridiculous with the classic Intercontinental Belt around their waists. If you look at pics where both wear the belt, then you look at the figs wearing them, you can see that something is amiss. The two side plates on the IC belt should be hit right below the rib cage as the body curves. The front plate should not be larger than their front torso. It just looks silly.

They weren't going to have the robe ready in time (Series 8 robe) because of time & costs I think they said...So they wanted to give him something to commemorate the streak.

i think mattel is going for the more cartoonish look on the bodies just cut and perfect even guys like cm punk who little definition in the abs and torso and arms are made to resemble arnold...lmao...thats my opinion anyway which why i usually steer clear of figures without shirts or with really short trunks because they are very rarely correct unless its like a hogan or luger or brock or goldberg u see where im goin with this...even the legends british bulldog is a great example he is not bulky enough to accuratley represent the bulldogs build guys yet pillman is ripped solid in the shape of perfect or punk or even shawn michaels should be accurately mad otherwise i just feel like it is an insult to them because the company is saying we dont care how u look in real life this is what sells...like the chest hair on michaels thats part of what made him him ya know but yet how many of his figures had his chest hair pattern???not nearly enough to matter .even slaughter is ripped to a point...which is the goofies thing ive ever seen..sorry this post seems angry but someone just ticked me off..so im sorry but thats how i feel about the wrong sculpts and whatnot that are used

Mainly for me I find that Triple H, Rey Mysterio and R-Truth have the wrong bodies. R-Truth is way too big, while the other two should not be so ripped.

We need a couple of new basic molds. Ripped for Truth. Buff for Cena, Zeke, and DH.

Basic Triple H is far too ripped, he doesn't have a Batista like physique nowdays. Basic John Cena could use a toned down body as well.

I think Ezekiel Jackson is probably my least favorite I own thus far. He's made to be taller, but there's not enough bulk to him. He should be as broad as Masters or even Triple H is, but as tall as his figure is already...
I have the Elite R-Truth and I hate it. I should have waited for the basic. Something about his build is just horrible to me. Rey doesn't really have a neck but most short, muscular people don't ( I can attest to this ) but in real life, Rey does actually have a bit of a neck. his traps aren't THAT big.
The Divas bodies just are very meh...
I have avoided Legends with the exception of Rock and Warrior which are must haves for me, still on the search for them, but what I've seen in stores. They're pretty decent.

Mine is Basic 8 Chris Masters, i know the guy is ripped but he has a certain phisique not like any other guys like cena triple h, his chest is small and he has a long abdomen, it would have been more realistic if they had used a basic style sheamus torso, i know its not the perfect torso but its close enough

I think George "The Animal" Steele is too skinny. George had a pretty fat gut. I passed on it, you just can't beat the real fur Jakks version, sorry marks.

The problem we're experiencing with a short Ultimate Warrior and Hacksaw is in the calves. It seems that for tall boots (or Warrior's custom boots), there's only one style of calves that fit it flush, i.e. calf muscle meets the edge of the boot around (if that makes sense). Problem is, is that it's short. There's the answer, it took me a while to figure this out as well.
