Haven't you guys realized it's just a prototype. JAKKS changed Gorilla Monsoon and Dusty Rhodes, there is a chance that Rikishi will be changed also. of course we realize. but there's also a hell of a lot of figures that DON'T change |

To be honest, the Yokozuna mold completely turns me off from this figure, and I was highly anticipating CS18 Rikishi.
I hope Jakks replaces this with the Bam Bam/Kamala torso as that would be the most accurate of all the torsos available to use. If not, I probably will just stick with my TTL Rikishi as it will take one great, accurate RA Rikishi to be able to compare to it.

i'm sure they will change his torso before he is released, remember they gave abby the small torso in the protos,then they corrected it before the release.

The body mold is way too big for him.

the new umaga body would be ideal for rikishi

definitely it should have been the new umaga mold (which is waaay too fat for umaga). in retrospect, one of my fav figs ever was the r3 rikishi, which would have made a perfect r3 umaga.

riskishi is a big guy but that yoko body is not for him period, they should use the Bam Bam body or maybe the torso they used on umaga.

Right htis was a great fig. But the problem was playability. THe leg mmovment was way too awkward. The TTL Rikishi is a perfect figure of him (and I hate nearly all TTLs) I got the TTL one from a bootfair for 10p in mint condition and got the accessories (shirt, 2 belts, stereo that plays his music, sunglasses) for a few pence aswell, it's now one of the best figures I have and is the only non RA or DA that I display apart from a few Divas, it fits in perfectly with my CS/RA collection and I knew the CS one could never come close. Having the Yoko torso fot the CS Rikishi is ridiculous but even with the Dusty or Umaga torso it wouldn't look nearly as good as the TTL version. |

The TTL Rikishi figure is so badass. Pretty much spot on for its time.
A simple torso change to the one in CS should do the trick.

Also, we havent seen the back yet which makes me fear jakks did not paint his thong correctly. Which is the most important part! |

Rikishi should definately get the new Umaga torso. It's perfect for him.

I have a Final Count Rikishi with an R3 head. He can do super kicks and the splits, and he isn't super fat. I doubt I will buy the CS 18 version.

I totally agree that the body mold is all wrong. And as many have said, the new Umaga mold would be perfect. Unless they change it, it's way off my buy list.
