Why has all the HHH figures been so ripped? I mean, He haven't looked like that since like 2004. Do you think we ever will get a HHH that isn't ripped like some bodybuilder? I mean, He has started quite the beer belly right now.

I'm thinking it's a WWE mandate, kinda like the one they had for that SmackDown vs Raw game that said gaming sites and magazines couldn't publish any shots of HHH in a vulnerable position or something.

I think you could say the same for alot of these figures. Like warroir and the times his figures are based on he was big, but not ripped

HHH probably tells Mattel that he wants a very ripped body mold and will not take anything less than that.

Ripple H's figures aren't allowed to job to things like, natural aging and weight gain.

I think his current torso looks fine. Mattel has much bigger issues with guys like D-Bryan (Torso & Legs) Orton (Arms are smaller then Miz!)

I doubt we will get a less toned HHH, but the British Bulldog torso is just about perfect for him.

I noticed he's over ripped too. The legs especially.

I was just thinking about this the other day when seeing the Brock Lesnar two-pack.
He was pretty cut back in '08, but it's pretty ridiculous that they keep giving him those parts... especially the legs... they've always been meaty and not-too-ripped (like trenty fan said).

Once we establish a particular torso it is hard to change it to one that can be seen as less flattering and get it approved by WWE. Keep in mind that our figures are across the board a more idealized version of what each person actually looks like. We are able to go in the other direction however, as we will be using a more muscular torso for Elite 22 Rock for example.

For this reason Triple H is one of the few figures I still display a Jakks instead of a Mattel. I picked one up a while back (from series 10), put it on my shelf, then decided it looked too weird and switched back to a Jakks.

I think it looks fine for his Elite figures. Somehow though, the basic body looks more ripped.

Even at his best physical condition, he was never nearly as ripped as he is in his figures

This is the reason why I've yet to get a HHH. I made this Photoshop awhile back using the Otunga torso. It fits him so much better, and it still makes him looked bulky and muscular:

I don't want a Hunter Hearst Helmsley figure with the large/ripped torso.
