Hey guys I was just wondering whether a stone cold size Torso would be good on Daniel Bryan I looked at stone cold comparison in size with Daniel Bryan and to be honest Daniel Bryan looks bigger than Stone cold . I also looked at the Mattel terry funk torso But I think that's a bit too small What do you guys think

I think using Austin's torso would make Bryan out of scale with everyone else in the line.

I was going to attempt using a funk torso soon, though it might still be a bit skinny, I think it'll be an improvement.

Austin is 6'2"-6'3", Bryan is 5'7"-5'8". You have to keep that in mind as to why Bryan might look "bigger" than Austin IRL, but in figure form that torso won't work for Bryan. To be honest, they need to give him his own torso, something along the lines of the Funk torso, just wider.

A Christian body would do better in my opinion.

I think using Austin's torso would make Bryan out of scale with everyone else in the line. Austin's torso is roughly the same height as the Bryan body. The difference is in the legs. All the figures that have used that torso, especially Shad, have been very leggy figures. Now, I don't think that the Terry Funk torso would be the right fit, but it's better than what we have, and the customizers would sure be happy. It would cure the elite D-bry peg warming crisis. I wouldn't be opposed to the Sin Cara torso, honestly. It's a little idealized, but so are most of the figures. The reason I think it'd work best is how thick and stocky it is from top to bottom. No emphasis on the lats. His basics are okay, but the Elites with their even narrower chest and hourglass waist make his head look huge. I think B30 looks a tad on the large size, imagine how ridiculous the Elite's gonna look if they don't change the parts. The elite's legs are scrawny, too.

Yes he's thick, but the Ausrin torso would make him too thick in my opinion.

You're probably right, I have a hard time visualizing things like that, I'd probably have to actually crack a torso to be able to see whether or not it was right. To the Christian remark, it's the same torso, and that being said, he could use an update, too. I really just wish they'd get rid of the hourglass torso as it works for no one.

the Bryan/Christian/first Cody/Ted Jr./Shawn Michaels torso is probably the worst part MDT ever sculpted. It fits no one and looks very awkward with larger gaps in the ab-cruch articulation. They should redo a better torso for the mid-sized guys that are less cut.

I realize that they don't wan't to rebudget, but I'd take this over a new Ryback torso, which is something several people are clamoring for. It's an old mold, and it's time to retire it. The worst part is how scrawny it is. This was the reason the Jakks purists didn't jump ship and to this day say Mattel figures are skinny. The argument that they are skinny is largely invalid, except with this torso and the old Rey torso, which they had the sense to retire. It made Rey look like a buff child instead of a short adult.
