I don't see Jakks putting out WWE figures these days, do you? But when you compare Shane being an inch taller than Ambrose to Paul Bearer towering over Undertaker and Kane, it's still safe to say that things could be a lot worse. |

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? wow just wow haha. You guys are too much. Nothing is ever good enough for you guys. All I can picture is you guys buying figures, rushing home , taking out your magnified glass, ruler and praying to God there is something wrong with the 10 dollar toy you just bought. A few users and I who hang out around the area really get a chuckle out stuff like this. Why the hell do you buy the figures before you leave the store? Call me crazy but if I don't like the way something looks I don't buy it. THEY ARE TOYS!!!! not 1:1 scaled figures, not a $3000 dollar collectible. Now I am sure you will probably bark back with the whole "well it's hard earned money I spent and they should provide" Let me cut you off right there. That's like buying a $10 dollar watch and expecting it to function like a higher end watch because they are both watches. Doesn't work like that. Also I am thinking about linking you guys to some business and economics class for high schoolers so you all can stop crying about Bill how he must embezzle all the profits from anything he touches. Please don't quote me, don't even respond. Get a better paying job so you don't have to pinch pennies. |

The Revival are midgets too. Those two figures look so good but they are barely taller than the Alexa Bliss figure. Keep in mind that they are actually 5' 10" roughly in real life. That's not tall at all. They are just beefy guys who seem taller in tv Ah, thanks, didn't realize they were shorter wrestlers. |

They are short in real life but those 2 figures are way to small. Carmella is 5'5 and her figure is taller than both dash and dawson. Finn balor is 5'11 and he towers over them. |

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. This is my mindset for the most part. You've got people like Mysterio and Kalisto that need to be made shorter than most everyone else, and you've got people like Undertaker and Nash that need to be made taller than most everyone else. Then guys like Big Show that need to be a bit taller. But it does bug me when they do stuff like the basic HonkyTonk Man from last year and the Warrior from The HonkyTonk Man 2pack. |

the height usually doesnt bother me too much, but in the case of the warrior/htm battlepack it turns me off enough to where i wont be bothering to pick that up.

Besides a few missteps here n there, I think they do a pretty good job with it. I mean, it can't be easy keeping track of everyone size while using the cheapest parts available.

The content, the sweet-ass Kazaam profile picture, everything. Yeah, too many collectors have unrealistic expectations of how far 10 bucks goes today. FWIW, Ambrose WAS the tallest Shield member, but none of those guys have NBA aspirations. I also think I read that one of the Revival guys is like 5'8, so them being the same height as Carmella isn't out of the realm of possibility. But yeah, some of y'all don't have enough to do if you're obsessed over that. |

Im not a perfectionist guy and understand somethings are done for some reason that we aint privvy too. But my biggest complaint are the head scans and all these open mouth faces they have been using recently.

That's why I'll never buy anything but the Elites. But certainly the rationalists have a point -- it's a $10 toy.
I look at the positives -- I just saw a Rusev elite that I'm going to go back and buy because the coat he comes with is pretty cool looking, haha. (And I usually only buy the legends and flashbacks.)
