First question off the bat is why are Undertaker figures taller than Kane and Kevin Nash figures. Second question is how come there has to be legend contracts to make classic wrestlers? IIRC. Jakks didn't need those contracts to make WWE Classic Superstars.

Undertaker is just as tall as Kane, and Nash is taller than both. So I don't understand that either. And I'm pretty sure Jakks needed contracts, you can't just use someone's likeness without their permission.

Well I believe they pretty much got away with using their likeness. And Undertaker is not the same Height as Kane. Kane is much taller.

I'm standing my Ministry Undertaker and Hardcore Kane next to each other, and it's so obvious Undertaker is much taller. Kevin Nash is the same height as Kane though.

While my previous point stands, you are right, figure wise it's pretty stupid. My Elite 14 Taker is taller than Elite 12 Kane. In that picture he's lifted like crazy though.

So, recently they stopped using boot lifts?

Well I think only the last time they were together they were the same height. I'm sure Kane was still using them back in their last feud.

I think Jakks personally contacted and negotiated with wrestlers. Mattel should be doing the same thing then. I want a Scott Hall, X-Pax, Ken Shamrock, Al Snow, Hardcore Holly, Hardy Boyz, Dudley Boyz, and a lot of low card wrestlers from 1990-2002.

They have X-Pac under contract already but hes a newer contract so he's not being made anytime soon. They're going through the people who have the least time left to be able to be made. Guys like Scott Hall (Cant be made due to legal reasons), Hardy Boyz, Dudley Boyz won't be made anytime soon if ever and i don't think the others are high priority for Mattel at the moment. They said something along the lines of "We can't contract wrestlers who don't have a legends deal with the WWE and we aren't seeking independent contracts"

And half of those guys are currently associated with TNA. Common sense that they won't have figures under a WWE license.

You can see in this video from '95 they're pretty much the same height. Though Kane does seem to edge him out by a hair. Go to 1:30 to see the faceoff.

If this was true Owen Hart wouldn't be the most customized figure of all time bc the demand for him was thru the roof then as well as it is now. Kane wears lifts. Undertaker does not. Go back and watch was Dr. Issac Yankum vids if you want to see Kane's true height. But Kevin Nash is Legitimately taller than both, so I have no answer there.
