I found this comparison picture between the Jakks and Mattel Rikishi's posted in a thread by Mr Bang! Bang!  I'm tempted to think this is because of standards and practices in the toy world, but how did Jakks manage to make theirs? Both are/were aimed at children, if anything the Flashback was aimed more at adult collectors. I just think this figure is half assed because of this detail, i mean the thong along with dancing was his gimmick haha. Thoughts or insight? |

Mattel just doesn't want to do that type if stuff, where jakks was more comfortable. Hence the no lips on Billy Gunns crotch and then this.

I'm sure money and part reuse had something to do with it too.
The dimply, cottage cheese ass and thighs does look awesome.

Yeah, that's the pic I posted saying jakks version is better, but I don't want to complain about more ass needing to be exposed, especially after the hbk incident Lmao Save this question for when they make a Lita figure. Yet John Cena figures can sag his pants a bit and show off his underwear. |

Meh, not really complaining. Don't really want to see Rikishi's saggy butt.

So just curious, is your actual complaint that you don't see enough of Rikishis ass?

WWE now shies away from things that it once did not. Not to mention Rikishi more often than not did not start out the match with a full on wedgie. Besides this minuet and unnecessary detail, the figure is perfect. Nitpicking complaint really.

I'm perfectly happy with the lack of "full thong." They painted some cheeks on there, that's fine. I don't need to see all that cellulite recreated ever again.
