I was going through my legends figures today and while looking at Mr Perfect i couldnt believe how tall his figure is. He seems overly tall, i means hes about a head bigger than my cenas, he seems way out of scale. I dont think Mr Perfect was that tall in real life to warrant this size of a figure. Anyone else noticed this? I know its hard for Mattel to get the height scales correct but seems they really botched this one.

Yeah he's really out of scale. He's too thin and ridiculously tall

Do you think Mattel will do another somewhere down the line as a flash back so we can get a better figure of him? Like you said not only is he too tall but he is far too thin as well.

Mr. Perfect is 6'3'' but uses the entire Jack Swagger body, who is 6'7''. Everyone says to change out calves and it will adjust the height however, every thing Ive used keeps it the same. Ive tried all three Cody Rhodes, Terry Funk, Roddy Piper, Regal and a couple more and non of them work. The height problem is in the "thigh" piece, not the calves.
The only solution Ive found that works is the Jim Duggan calves. However, the calves are so big that they hang over the sides of the boots. Someone with some skill could easily sand/shave down the calves and Im sure they would work but that's just too much hassle for me. I took the Perfect head, arms and from the knees down and put it on a spare Legends Austin figure and just made a WWE Debut/AWA Hennig. (which is the right height)

I think you need to swap the knees as well as the calves to shrink him down in height. But he really needs to be bulked up still. I think Undertaker's torso would be better.

Tried that too and still didnt work :/ I keep hoping they just make another one that's properly scaled. Mr. Perfect is 6'3'' but uses the entire Jack Swagger body, who is 6'7''.

I would like a flashback of Perfect as well but I dont think its going to happen with so few slots for flashbacks in the Elite line. The upcoming Basic is probably the best your gonna get and Im surprised we even got another Perfect even as a Basic.

Yeah I think singlet mold altogether is too thing, it needs to be fatter all round. Normally people wear singlets as they have a slightly fat body and hide it. They should have used the Funk or Austin torso as a basis for the singlet mold.

Can't wait to preorder it.

I previously swapped out the thighs using hacksaw thighs n someone else's calves i think the older cody. But currently i'm working on using stone cold body and so on, yet to complete the paint. Which can be found in the fixup thread. I do hope mattel make a better one using a new bigger singleted body mold, which is bigger than the current one yet smaller than ryback. And make it in neon green or yellow.
