Mattel has made some thicker guys a bit too skinny I would agree. JBL and Legends Mr Perfect for example. But it is a great figure and they do the best they can with the resources available to them.

My only complaint is that they changed out the left elbow pad for the bigger one.

My biggest complaint is how poorly the IC title is painted, at least on mine. The globe is painted and then everything else isn't; except for the black smudges of paint where the highlight bars are supposed to be painted.
He's definitely too small though. The arms don't bother me as much as the chicken legs

Like I said in my thread while he is to hairy my only real complaint is his limbs (mainly the arms) there's no way Dolph and Cody should have larger arms. He should have gotten those arms as well or at the very least Barrett's arms. Height wise his figure is as tall as the Legends Mr Perfect which we know is too tall for Mr Perfect, but about right for Hall.

The chest hair is the only complaint I have, it should of stayed the way it appeared on the prototype.

Yeah mine it isn't painted as well as previous versions either but I feel like that might be on purpose. Also he can't really wear the belt under or over the vest very well, but there isn't much that could be done about that. I love the figure though.

I got mine over the vest pretty nicely. Would rather it be under the vest, but then it lifts the vest off the shoulders as well as lifting his hair. And I don't want to end up warping the hair that it doesn't sit right on the vest.

Can't say I disagree with anything you said.

They blew it with the limb choices again. Mattel has dropped the ball on several figures over the years now when it comes to giving them the right arms. How on earth they think Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler are bigger freaks than The Rock and Razor Ramon is beyond me.

I would be interested in knowing MDTs part selection process. They have the right parts, but the don't use them. I know some will say it's just Mattel being lazy, but I don't think that's it. The deco on the RSC Shawn and the singlets on the the latest Ryback and RVD are anything but lazy.
I know they have said that sometimes WWE gets involved and rejects certain things, but I can't imagine they would care what size arms Razor has. How do they look at a guy like Razor or Austin and think those size arms are the best choice. The Dolph/Cody arms are the best heavyweight arms they have(imo), but they use them on mid-weight guys, I don't get it.

I'd be curious to swap arms. Do you guys know if you can only swap from the biceps down or if you could take the shoulders too?

I just received my figure today and, wow, wow, wow, where do I begin?
1. The color is wrong 2. The arms are too small, both in thickness and length. One of Hall's defining characteristics to me are his long arms. 3. The razor blade deco has an error where the blades overlap. Look closely... 4. Left elbow pad should be smaller
I'm glad they went with a different torso from what was shown in the proto pics, but this one is still not what Razor needed. I don't understand the logistics of figure manufacturing, but how did Fandango get a new (and so far, exclusive) torso, but not Hall?! The legs look fine to me, but he needed a longer torso. They didn't help by swapping in those small arms. The knee pads on the proto where wrong, but the medium pads are just too small to represent what Razor wore. Again, X-Pac gets all-new pads, but not Razor. I'm thinking of painting the legs under the pads alá Billy Gunn to improve the look. He did wear that style from time to time, so it's not completely inaccurate.

These aren't egregious enough to not still want this figure like mad, but the one thing that I would say bugs me and everyone else has mentioned is the arms.
What are they doing giving the Rock smaller arms than Cody Rhodes? And giving Razor and Billy Gunn the tiniest arms they have next to Randy Orton?

Agreed. The color is an absolute disgrace. He wore purple, not magenta! The head is still too big. How is it that Razor's head is bigger than Nash's??? The body choice sucks! He has the same arms and torso as Ric Flair… RIC FLAIR! What is up with the chest hair and yeah the razor blades are botched. MattelDesignTeamPlease… please give us another Razor with an accurate frame. He is almost as tall as the undertaker, Nash, Kane… etc

The arms don't bother me as much as the chicken legs IC belt is definitely different than the previous classic IC belts. The black that should surround the words Intercontinental Heavyweight Wrestling Champion is gold and really makes the belt look poor compared to the ones that came with Perfect or Warrior. Half-assed job on belt but still happy we finally got Razor.

Does Razor have the newer style ball jointed hips?
There's some bit picks here and there, but I'm very happy he was made and I can't wait to get him.
We'll get a WCW Hall at some point as well, let's hope that one is a home run.
