I see a lot of other collectors and members here complaining about figures having wrong/inaccurate parts. My question is, what figures would you change, and how? Here are a few figures I had in mind. Seth Rollins(Elite): Torso: Same as current, but with chest hair added Crotch piece: Sami Zayn Legs/Knees: Sami Zayn Everything else: Same as current Triple H(Elite):
Torso: Apollo Crews
Arms: Ziggler/Cody Rhodes
Everything else: Same as current
Surfer Sting(Elite):
Torso: Bulldog/Austin
Arms: Ziggler/Cody Rhodes
Everything else: Same as current
What figures would you re-tool? Also, please no arguing or fighting. |

Elite Rhyno.
Smaller Shoulders.
Re-tooled T rocker crotch similar to suited Elites.

I'd go with sting exactly how you mentioned.
I'd put any 91-92 Bulldogs with a Lesnar torso or batista torso and shorter boots.
Give Jim Neidhart smaller arms and shoulders
Give the Samoans shorter legs
give Stone Cold thicker legs and bigger arms.
Ted DiBiase taller and the austin/bulldog torso.
Undertaker a thicker stomach. The figure looks too skinny.

Good topic. AJ Styles elite: Sin Cara torso I forgot about that one. Sin Cara torso and thicker legs would make his figures so much better and more accurate. |

My favorite of all time Sting, I mention it a lot that both his Crow and Surfer figures need tooling. Imo, my biggest gripe being the crow figures.
Crow Sting '98-2001-
Needs a bigger torso, the one they used on the wolfpac doesn't not fit the crotch piece and is way too thin, it needs to be wider
Hawks arms work perfectly for singlet Sting, don't understand the decision behind giving him the arms used on warrior etc
The boots.... most possibly my biggest annoyance of his figures, they give the Starrcade, Wolfpac and current Sting the same boots. The boots he wore for Starrcade were tall and I would like to see them corrected, current Sting needs a short boot mold (same height as the ones used on his figures but retooled to actually look like them)
Wrist cuffs... they haven't used those things in ages
Paint the flesh on his chin and sides of face, Mattel keeps cheapening out
Surfer Sting:
Austin torso
Keep the current arms
Give him thicker legs, the ones used now look too thin
Keep the current boots, if not just create a new mold
Modern Sting:
Use the wolfpac torso, it's more suited for an older Sting (the perfect torso looks horrible imo)
Make the scorpions on his design larger (both wolfpac and hof are too small)
Wrist cuffs
Make a new mold for his boots, gloss them and that's it... really not a hard figure to make
AJ Styles:
Everything minus the head and kick pads need to be retooled, I'll be honest his first elite literally looks like a Daniel Bryan with a giant head
New unique torso or Sin Cara torso
Thicker legs
Knee pads
Elbow pad
Wrist cuffs
Reigns:
He needs lighter skin tone... I get it, he's Samoan. However, not every Samoan is the same skintone. Something along the Batista's skin tone would be nicer
Molded Gaunlets
New boots (he doesn't wear timberlands)
Neville:
It seems like Mattel has a problem with shorter guys
New torso, the guy is ripped but the torso used for his elite just doesn't look right (a unique torso would be awesome)
Thicker legs, the rest of the figure is fine

I rarely get basics but the HHH torso has always bothered me.

I would love to see a new 02-03 Kane. If they don't want to mold the straps on the body, I would take a straight rerelease if it had a new head scan. Molded on mask.

Samoa Joe's arms are too thin IMO. Kevin Owens has the opposite problem XD his arms are really buff.

 Ambrose should be given the skinniest torso and arms possible. Guy has zero definition/muscle. If he's 6'4 225lbs then I'm the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos... |

Retool the torso articulation for females because it's absolutely useless right now, only moves like 5 degrees. And give them double knees while you're at it Mattel, thanks.  Also, this will never happen, but I wish they would retool all their figures so that the halves of the torso snap together instead of needing to be glued. That way they don't have to pay for glue/sonic welding and it's easier for us to tinker with them. Kids can't take them apart unless they know specifically where to apply pressure to dislodge the snap mechanism, similar to how cellphones are snapped together. |
