DK head mode activated! and the orangutan arms on Dudleys, Owens, Anvil etc... i think the 'M' in MDT stands for something else...

Well the Macho Man heads besides the e23(?) have always been considered to small. Same with the short haired Jericho head. What about Cody and Jericho? Funny thing is, Jericho does have a big head in real life. I said the Jericho head is to small also. Especially if that is the one used for the Then, Now Forever figure. Not sure if that was the same Jericho head used on the Lost Legends figure, but short haired Jericho's have all suffered from the Beetlejuice ending syndrome.

Is it safe to say the budget for the BATB 3 pack went to Sting's head? It's like 18% more plastic.
Seriously though, I hope Mattel re-releases that Sting head in the correct size so I can do a head swap. I think it's much better than the previously released surfer Stings.

Well the verdict is in, Mattel is doing the big heads. Many of their latest releases suffer from this. Sting's head is 18-20% too big, but next to some other big heads it looks normal. I'm not a Mattel white knight but I'm willing to let this slide a bit. If Bill is the head designer, he really needs to have a chat with the guy in charge of parts selection too.

Those look so much better with that torso and those arms yeah, as much as I hate the little torso (Jericho, AJ Styles, Finn et. Al.) I really think the Bluetista torso is on the other extreme. Bluetista torsos are probably influencing the big head syndrome.

I will say the BatB head looks a little large from the side, but the head looks normal on the Batista torso and looks great on the Bulldog/Austin torso. So I am fine with the size of the head. It isn't grossly oversized like Jakks Tully Blanchard or Scott Hall heads. It still looks correct on the body. Now if they could just get the body right. How I wish they both used the Bulldog/Austin torso, with the DM Steamboat/E19 Ziggler arms and Hawk's (or Bulldog's) thighs if it doesn't mess up the height. I don't have anymore Bulldog torsos laying around so I kept the BatB torso and just raised the head and swapped the arms.

While I hope big heads are NOT the trend, maybe they could throw the Jakks people a bone and make a big head Randy Savage or a big head Ricky Steamboat to fit on a RA body. Then they could make decent customs to fit in their Classic Superstars collection.

Someone needs to place the Sting head next to Big Show and see if they are the same size.

Sting head came out too big. If we reuse that head it will be resized.

What I'd like MattelDesignTeam to recognize is that Ziggler arms + bulldog torso is the more appropriate parts choices for any surfer Sting. How about when he is released again THIS gets fixed too?

Elite 48 Ziggler is Jakks jacked
Fix that too
And quit giving people laced boots if they need to be laceless
HBK never wore kickpads either
Be consistent please

Sting head came out too big. If we reuse that head it will be resized. Sorry to bump this old thread, however, I think there's more to say on this topic. I received by Elite 49 Beefcake recently. Overall, the figure looks really nice. I was afraid it would be too tall. The height is not the issue... it's the size of the head again. Does anyone have a photo comparing it to the BATB Sting? I think those two figures would fit perfectly with Jakks scale, but they stick out like a sore thumb standing next to most of the other previously released Mattels. I know MDT said he would resize the Sting head if they reuse it. What about Beefcake? I gotta think we'll be seeing more versions of him, and I hate for all of them to have the large heads.

Maybe some of that head on Sting can go towards Bubba Ray's.

Funny I just was taking my January birthday photos for my instagram account (kewl_figs) and noticed how huge Tully Blanchards Jakks head was! Biggest head ever!!!!

Well let's add E49 Beefcake to the big heads list, and it's not his hair. Side-by-side comparison with Hogan figure in another thread shows how big it is. Why MattelDesignTeam ?
