I have both Mattel Rick Rude figures . He is one of my absolute favorites of all time . I'm hope he gets his long over due HOF induction this year that being said here are my gripes with the figures.
I don't feel his chest and arms fit him at all . It makes him too skinny and doesn't defy the man that won the Jesse The Body award (if anyone here remembers) lol
I'd love to fix both of my Rude figures up , does anyone have any suggestions? I was looking at the Elite fandango and how is it he is more shredded and jacked than Rude ? lol I love Mattel but some figure are hit or miss . I was thinking about swapping their chests and arms ? Or does anyone think there are better options ? To start he def needs bigger or more defined arms in my opinion. Would love to here your thoughts!

Arm swap would mean losing the tattoo. I'm happy with the ones we got. Would prefer him with IC Belt airbrushed on tights though. Also need a DX/Triple Threat bearded Rude.

I am still thinking if I should get Rude (E40).

If I were Mattel and had to use preexisting parts, I'd use Macho Man's elite torso with Dolph Ziggler/Fandango/ new Orton's arm mold. In my mind that looks right.

I think Rude had so many great tights they should get going pumping out some basics of him since we'll never get to most of them in elite form. Plenty of basic Warriors to stick basic Rudes next to. I like both elite Rudes, head is a bit small on the first and he's missing the Warrior art on his tights as everyone knows. Plus something is messed up with the legs on everyones Legends Rude.

Rude was awesome. He made The Ultimate Warrior look half way decent in the ring and that wasn't easy to do according to every interview ever.

He was lean so the chest works for him. I do think he arms should have been thicker. I probably would have used Hall's upper arms. I think for the most part both are extremely nice figures, but the E40 figure has soft facial features. It would have been much better if the lines on his face were deeper.

I'd probably switch it to the Savage top for WCW, and Lex Luger top for the WWF. I'd keep the legs the same though, since he used to get called the "Tasmanian Devil" by the Hulkster.
Also, switch Warrior to the current John Cena top and include Heenan and Rude for a TNF 3 posedown pack.

The only (minor) complaint I have on the Rude figures is, I wish they had used the same face for both versions. Just changed the hair. Because I want a mullet-fro Rude puckering up.

I'll buy every Rude release. I agree neither of the two we have are perfect but i want a wcw Rude most. Maybe tights with airbrushed us title and sting on back a la clash of champions 17

I'm satisfied with E40 Rude, though I prefer the head of Legends Rude.

I think the Hall biceps are large enough to look like Rude's and not shredded enough to adversely affect the tattoo.

And give him small knee pads to pull over his shins. Made a huge difference on both my Rudes.

I think both are pretty much perfect. I wouldn't change anything. I just hope we get at least 2 more Elites of him. One more from WWF era and one from his WCW run with the US title.

You probably would have loved the Rude figures I sold a while back. Several customs that were from an early wcw period, one of the feel the heat tights vs warrior and one other custom of his white trunks with Jakes wife's face on the front and back. I want to get some more Rude figures so I can do some more customs. I just got tired of most of my wwe stuff. So I sold almost everything.
