It seems like Austin always has odd legs with the knee pads they use. Has anyone switched or modified any that look more accurate? I bought a loose elite off eBay the other day and it looks like it might have Charlotte Flair's pads based on the pick they had. Was curious if anyone has done that before?

What Mattel needs to do is give him the thicker Cody legs rather than those chicken legs I tell ya.

Austin is one dude they should have a custom mold just for him. He is a very unique body type and they’re obviously gonna be makin figs of him forever anyway

I agree with everyone here and also, Mattel needs to stop giving Austin the long boots. The only Mattel Austin that got it right was his last DM with the three belts, if I'm not mistaken.
The upcoming BAF Austin looks to have the correct boots.

Every elite Austin has the correct short boots. The basics are the ones that are not accurate. |

A new head-sculpt would be sweet too.

I've swapped cody or magnums legs onto Austin and it looks so much better. Gave him bigger arms too

@martyboy2015 did you cut off the hips to make it into a ball joint?

I swap Rock & Austin’s knee pads Oh, my God. Why didn't I realize that Rock had the wrong knee pads until now?! |

I gave mine the Brock Lesnar arms and the long sleeves knee pads to hide the skinny legs a little bit. Austin was never that thin. Those arms and legs they chose for him were a bad choice to begin with. |

Yeah I have the RSC exclusive with the smoking skull. While I like it, Austin was a thick dude. He was never super shredded, but he had huge legs and a huge upper torso. I think the torso is passable but damn he needs bigger arms and legs. We still haven’t got the perfect Austin figure .

Undertaker’s legs are too thick, Bret Hart is too short and thin, Rock’s arms are too thin, etc. once I realized how out of scale So many figures were, it stopped bothering me. |

In the other hand they seemed to have the right formula with Cena, Henry and CM Punk.
