Was planning on ordering the E83 Corbin but I noticed in some review videos he is super short. Like wayyyy to short. Not sure why that is. Anyone do fix ups yet or suggestions on how to make it taller?

Lots of questionable parts choice on King Corbin: (8:20)
The skinny black boots on Bash at the Beach Lex Luger should boost him up without making his calves super fat.

The back of the package does state that he’s 6’2”. Maybe Mattel intentionally did that to compensate for the bad part choices lol.

Yeah the figure is short and looks skinny. Its hard to replace his first Elite with this skinny short Corbin.

Yeah I don’t know if the issue is height as much as it is with the skinny parts they used. I could get past the height issue but he looks like a starved child compared to some other elites.

Is it the Jeff Hardy torso?
I feel like the best solution at the moment is to swap the new head onto his Money in the Bank elite, and use the t-shirt from that figure.

I can’t get past how skinny the torso is. He looks malnourished. I don’t think that torso looks great for Jeff Hardy either, but it looks especially bad for Corbin. When I get this figure his cape will be staying on.

Wow, I honestly didn't even realize how small he is until put side-by-side.
That's... incredibly disappointing.

Great he has the short arms too , wtf is Mattel doing with these mini arms ? Riddle obviously wasn’t a mistake. Is it that hard to make beefier arms with the hand swap feature that they just use whatever they want?

The Corbin figure uses the original Randy Orton arms which is the only issue I have with the figure. The figure’s height is a little short, but it’s still a smidge taller than the DOD Orton figure who is listed at 6’5”.

I wonder if tall black Luger boots will fix it, like it did the SummerSlam 2018 Edge Elite.

He is just a little to short but those arms are really tiny. Elite 50 is still his best Mattel figure in my opinion.

I mean, you should still get it if you want a King Baron Corbin figure. That's what we got and there's nothing we can do about it. Unless you feel comfortable enough to take it apart and customize it.

Guess my question is, how does the new head fit on the old body? I used his basic head on his elite body and it gave him giraffe neck

I can't tell, are the lower arms also smaller or just the upper arms? How does E83 look compared to Scott Hall, Hogan, and other people that are supposed to be the same height?
