hi, just wondering if anyone knows or has any ideas why the elite dolph ziggler uses the thicker legs and large arms mold, despite him being alot more smaller in real life? is this related to mdt once stating that it was difficult to change the bodies that have already been used for a wrestler? but why choose parts too big in the first place?
thanks , just curious

Same thing happened with Cody. Sometimes they're just terrible at parts choices and then they get reluctant to change them.

Not sure on this either. Ziggler's first figures had smaller legs. Obviously, the figures are idealized representations of them so maybe WWE said "make him look bigger" or something, but I agree, he should have the thinner legs.

It's unlikely that WWE said "make him look bigger than The Rock" though. I think maybe MDT started making decisions from still solo images rather than looking at how wrestlers look alongside each other.

Vince has made it abundantly clear that he favors huge guys. I don't know though if that could have had anything to do with MDT changing him. I wonder why they upgrade the Elites but leave the basics the same. Basic Dolph continues to have the skinny Orton arms (well, most of the time, sometimes it has slipped back to the CM Punk arms like the Battle Pack with Ryder one), Cody Rhodes continues to have the small legs and arms although they changed him to the Orton arms and torso, and the Rock is still the small torso for all his upcoming basics.
