Is it me or are his proportions kind of odd looking? The guy was thicker, no?   |

They could be slightly bigger, but I'm totally fine with the way it looks on my shelf. Have you seen it in person yet?

Love the scan, but he looks really strange to me. His upper body is thick, as is his trunks, it's just these legs! So thin, it looks odd to me. |

Nope they look damn near perfect. He had a thick torso and butt, but his legs weren't big/thick.

I dunno guys, check out his legs in this pic. He definitely didn't have skinny legs, not like what Mattel used for him anyways.  |

I  ing hate this mold. I've had my JYD and HTMs both ruined because of fused/warped legs. |

Yes.
I find that Jakks made guys too big and Mattel makes guys too skinny and legs too long. Head scans are great though.

They're perfect for a Steamboat custom.

im ok with the legs except for the awful ball-leg connection or fusion as it were.
all these figures with the thick crotch waist and thinner legs have issues. slaughter, honky, jyd.
they all need to be soaked in hot water or the t bar snaps.
with the success of these figures i feel like mattel should be replacing these 5 year old parts in production

Both comparison pics you posted show his legs were thin. Yes he had a big butt and torso, but his legs weren't thick.

If someone wanted to make him thicker but not mess up scale, what legs would work?

As thin as the Mattel figure even? Yes the legs are thin in the pic. You can see how it is angled oddly in it. But you can see where the outline for the leg curve is under the pinky of his fist. It is actually one of the things I though about him watching him back in the day...was how thick he was in the torso/butt yet how thin his limbs were. I do think the figure represents his build pretty accurately with the parts they have. |
