I just bought my 5th diva of the year Michelle McCool!!!!  When had Beth, Mickie, and Melina the scale was pretty ok :/ But than I got Kelly and it was horriable!!!! She is waaaayyyy too tall she should be shorter than Beth but she towers over her!!!  Kelly is one of my favs and I love her outfit so I tried to over look the height :/ But now I have Michelle and on TV she is clearly the tallest diva! But her figure is barely taller than Beth and is SHORTER than Kelly!?! Which makes me wonder where will Alicia, Eve, and Maryse fit in there between Beth and Michelle and will Layla even look short next to Michelle?? Mattel has done a great job on scale with the male wrestlers and it one of the HUGE pluses of Mattel vs Jakks! But why are the divas getting the crappy end of the stick??? Is there a Q&A coming up or something?? Am I the only one who cares?? What do u guys think?? |

I care, and Maryse and Kelly are both out of scale. Maryse should have been given the same calf pieces Melina has to make her the right height. Kelly's lower legs are all wrong, and im guessing they will be the ones used for Eve since she wears the same kind of boots. Kelly and Michelle actually have the same calves, they are just cut and tooled in different places to accomodate the different footwear. If Kelly was given different boots that fit into the plug of the Melina calves she would have been in scale. I understand that they have to be able to reuse some parts, (diva kickers have been used on 5 figures so far) but when they have the right parts and they don't use them is when I get angry.
Its not THAT big of a deal, but I don't want this to turn into a JAKKS situation where tall divas are short, short divas are tall, divas with big boobs have small boobs, divas with small boobs have big boobs, and they all have the same arms. So far every diva is the same height with Mickie and Melina being the midgets of the shelf.

I attached Mickie's boots to Kelly's legs. Most figures have the peg attached to the lower leg and the hole in the boot. Mickie has the hole in the lower leg and the peg attached to her boot. - What you have to do is cut off both sets of pegs as close to the boot and lower leg as possible. You may want to use a razor blade or dremel after the cutting to ensure a flat, 'nub' free area on the leg & boot surface. - Heat the legs (hot water/hair dryer/what ever you like) and insert a stick pin or needle equivalent into the center of the leg nub. Cool the legs under cold water to 'lock' the pin in place. Cut the other end of the pin long enough to stick into the boot but not so long that it will extend into the ankle joint. - Heat the boot and place it onto the pin coming out of the leg. *The boots attach to the leg well, but I'm not sure how they hold up during play. I only display them |

For some reason the scale on the Diva figures doesn't really bother me as much as scale on male wrestlers. I guess because there are so few Diva's figures I don't think of it. Kelly is the only one to me that really sticks out as being totally out of scale.

alright so
Michelle is 5'10''
Maryse and eve are 5'8''
beths 5'7''
Kellys 5'5'' and
Melina and Micke are both 5'4''.
so michelle needs to be taller than all of them. and mickie and melina need to be the shortest.

I honestly don't care that much about divas figures heights and such. I mean i am just glad we get some decent divas at all let alone the way they are in height.

yeah Michelle is a tad too short, she's 5'10 in real life and face to face with Cena's figure she looks about 5 or 6 inches shorter than him in scale. when in real life she's 3 inches shorter. either way not that big of deal for me since I don't display my Diva's all next to one another and they fit in with the men in scale imo.
