Who the hell okay'd his arms for the last 2 elite series?
I don't understand how anybody over at the design team would think KO has arms that look like that. E47 would have been a solid figure if they just gave him proper arms. They have everything right. The face, body mold, and height. I don't understand why they just didn't give him Samoa Joe arms. Literally, they have all the right parts sitting in front of them, they just don't use them. I hope when KO in red attire eventually comes out, the problems are fixed.
Come on Mattel, you can do better.

He really needs the elite Harper/Joe arms. I swapped the biceps on my KO and it's an absolute night and day difference.

I was really tempted by both of his Elites because of the NXT and Universal titles.. but the arms are just way too off putting. Accessories aside, whenever Mattel release a KO Elite with the Joe/Harper arms and kickpads, I think they'll have finally got it right.

Bubba Ray and Jim Neidhart also suffer from a case of the gorillarms I think the Anvil is the worst case of them all. They don't look good on Owens or Bubba but I can deal with it. Anvil however is completely ruined by the arms. Which reminds me, I need to replace them now that I'm thinking of it. Any suggestions on good replacements? |

Im sorry, Im not one for swapping or customising but if you find out let me know. Also, I think he looks *slightly* too short. The Anvil looks so out of proportion next to Bret. |

The same people who keep on okaying the Batista torso on surfer Stings, the roided arms on crow Stings and gorilla arms on Neidhart. Some of these decisions are mindboggling.

Mattel has insinuated that WWE is very protective of Owen's look. Hence the slimmed tummy and too large arms. I'd be willing to bet Bubba and Neidhart are similar requests by the stars themselves.

Seems like with most part choice grips mattel already has molds or parts better suited and no need to cast something new. The arms don't bother me as much as the skinny arms on the Cesaro, Neville, and Rollins, but the Joe or Harper style do look soooooo much better!

I don't know why those arms are even used. Nobody on the roster has arms that look like that. They look extremely inhuman. The way that the tricep pops out at the end.

Accessories aside, whenever Mattel release a KO Elite with the Joe/Harper arms and kickpads, I think they'll have finally got it right.  It'd be nice if it were like this out of the box... |

I really hope Mattel corrects this on his next figure. These gorilla arms look ridiculous

After his first elite and those ridiculous arms you would think it would be fixed before the recent one but still looks ridiculous.

I doubt they'll change the arms, but the figures will probably have kickpads when they catch up with when he started wearing kickpads. When was that, last WrestleMania? |
