I just got the Shane McMahon/Dean Ambrose Battlepack. The Ambrose figure is about a half inch shorter than the Shane figure even though Ambrose is billed as being 6'4" and Shane is only 6'1".
I'm not even going to get into the midget Honky Tonk Man situation.
What's going on at Mattel?

Penny pinching. You should too. Stop buying figures that you dont like. Win win.

You mean the same basics that dont come with tattoos half the time?

I stick to Elites, if that helps any.

Basic scale was never that precise. Still better than Jakks but the Elites for the most have better scale.

I just saw Ambrose recently at a house show, and there is no way that dude is 6'4". I'm 6' even. and he may have been an inch taller than me. WWE lies about heights a lot. No excuse for the scale to be off like that, though.

I don't see Jakks putting out WWE figures these days, do you?

I never cared about scale THAT much. Yeah as long it's close I'm fine. Rey being shorter than most, big show being taller than most. Other than that everyone is around the same height give or take a few inches was never that big of a deal to me. If they were to be exactly To scale they would be much more money.

The Revival are midgets too. Those two figures look so good but they are barely taller than the Alexa Bliss figure.

I don't really mind too too much if a figure is slightly shorter, but if it's drastic it is annoying. Also, call me weird but I don't see the problem with Seth, he's the same height as my Bret figure. Is he supposed to be taller?

you have a valid point,
and i think its funny the number of people saying "meh, its no big deal"....when for YEARS all you saw was everyone saying how every single rey mysterio was as tall as undertaker (even though that wasn't true and i proved that with multiple photos) and that jakks had everyone else the same height, etc. pretty much castrating Jakks as a whole for being off scale a bunch of times

I could be wrong but Im pretty sure I remember Mattel/MDT saying that scale isnt that important in the basic line that they just "try to get close". That more accurate scaling would be done in the more premium lines.

Yeah. Shane reminded me of every jakks suited figure. Shaq height.

It doesn't help that Mattel goes off WWE's listed heights which are exaggerated more often than not. Still, doesn't explain why Roman's figure is like 6'8, but I digress

yeah yeah yeah, the "Still better than jakks" comments should go without say by now. As if that would justify the strange body parts MDT has been choosing for both elites and basics.

I found myself disillusioned by the latest Slaughter basic. Was pretty excited to get a Mattel version in ring attire, but that quickly wore off when he wound up looking HBK's and Zayn's elites eye-to-eye (when he is billed about 4 inches taller than both), and appeared in way better shape than a Samoa Joe basic (over whom he is supposed to have a good 30 pounds). Can't even bring myself to use it. Stuck with a CS Jakks fig and using him strictly as a manager.
