I was wondering for those of you who have hopefully done this already, what scale would I be looking for? I believe 1:18 would suit a 3.75'' figure such as Star Wars or G.I. Joe, so I would need bigger for Del Rio seeing as he stands like 7'' or so.
Help please!

Can't you figure it out based on the fact that 3.75 is 1/18? Lol... The WWE figures are approximately 1/12 scale.

1/12 is a tad small imo. 1/10 would be slightly more comfortable.

I believe Micro found a Ferrari that fitted Del Rio pretty well. Mind you that was a while ago...

i think that 1:18 scale will be the best solution... :/
perfect is 1:12 but is a real hard to find scale....
so i think that 1:18 Ferrari F-430 or 458-Italia Hotwheels by mattel is the best choise!!

I don't think he is fitting in a 1:18 scale. Probably need around Barbie/Bratz size, a little smaller. I got a Pink VW Bettle he would probably look good in. Your discount stores (Fam. Dollar, Dollar General. Big lots) sell some larger plastic vehicles I believe that might work.

Thanks, Funkasaurus...I was about to hunt down that pic of the Ferrari F-430 Spider! To answer the OP's question, 1:10 is the best scale for Mattel figures. Normally, TRU has a handful of 1:10 radio controlled cars and most are $50-$60. I would love to get a low rider at this scale for Eddie Guerrero but the most unique car I've found so far was a Hummer!
BTW, here's a quick tip for anyone who gets a car for Alberto Del Rio: In order to get him to sit at the driver's seat, I had to remove his boots. The Ferrari doesn't have any legroom because the area where the foot pedals go is sealed off!

micro, what figs are you using for fans? I'm using a variety of TV, game, & movie figures for my show's crowd. If you look closely, you'll find characters from Heroes, Twilight, Star Trek, Kill Bill, Harry Potter, Uncharted, and Planet Terror cheering for their favorite Superstars! I usually check TRU for any 6" figures that go on clearance, the normal boring-looking ones tend to go cheap. For example, I recently bought several Heroes Exploding Man Peter figures at $1.50 each. A quick paint job and they're perfect crowd filler! |
