I'd imagine some will read this and think it is a stupid question, but I was hoping if some people here would be willing to discuss figures you've bought that you found to be short for how they are supposed to measure up in the scale? I have a considerable collection of figures who are rather small and essentially use them as their own scale. Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, Hideo Itami, Austin Aries, The Revival, Tully Blanchard are examples. I use most of them as my own characters and do fantasy booking.
I was wondering if anyone would share their experiences about figures that are either shorter than they should be or are supposed to be on the short side?
And no, I don't want Hornswoggle or El Torito. The joke has been killed, leave it buried.

King Corbin comes to mind. He's much shorter than his last figure.
As far as women go, Ultimate Edition Becky Lynch is pretty small. Her UE is a fair measure shorter than her E72 figure and they're supposed to both have been in the "New Women's Scale".

Elite Mankind is too short but I assume they have him that way because he's usually hunched over.

I don’t think Tully is to short. I remember him being shorter that the other Horsemen. Every basic Sting except for the Network Spotlight Surfer Sting, Fan Central Sting/Undertaker and the BaF JJ Dillion are too short. Same with every basic Bret Hart minus the b14 RRH figure. I think Ciampa’s Elites and Black’s elites are slightly too short also.

Aleister Black’s elites are all a few inches too short. He’s 5’11-6 irl and his figures are like 5’8.

My Elite 13 Edge seems a little short to me. Just a little bit. I really need a open a Randy Orton to compare some time, but I feel he should be taller than Roman, but isn't.
Generally I find figures are too tall. Ricochet. British Bulldog. Maybe it just depends on what you think in the baseline scale. Everyone you listed above is around 5'8 in real life, so they look find to me.

Kalisto, Drake, and the Rey where he's in tights. Yeah, those guys are small, but in Mattel world they're like children. More to do with how thin they are though. Same goes for Orange Cassidy and Darby in AEW.

Not well up on stuff like this but I noticed last night that the latest Rock Elite (the Smackdown Fox debut) is noticeably shorter than his other figures

I think Ciampa’s Elites and Black’s elites are slightly too short also. Tully was shorter, I just mean that his figure fits better with cruiserweights so he looks like the top dog. Ciampa’s Elite was in fact TOO short. Like it needed at least half an inch more |

A lot of the new women's elites are shorter than they should be. Their basics are all the same height nowadays

That horrible small thigh mould i think is the problem with most of those figures, its too short and too skinny, i think they should do away with that mould all together to be honest. On my bobby fish and kyle oriely figures i used the finn balor thighs to bulk them out a little

It needs to be retired. Wrestlers have thin legs sometimes but not that thin most of the time. They use it too much. |

Most women's Elites after Elite 72. AJ Styles (his basics seem more realistic in scale), Adam Cole & Aleister Black. EC3 & Ricochet seem too tall.
