Given the basic figure's torso, I expect it to change. Computer renders are often different from the final product.
I don't get why people keep saying they should use the Kofi torso though. That torso only works for Kofi.

People always want something then complain, just be happy we are getting a NxT elite that so many people wanted. He is still a must have for my collection. You buy a brand new car, however it doesn't have a steering wheel. Instead it has a ironing board in that spot. But hey "Just be happy we got the car". When we pay hard earned money for them, we have a right to express what we do and don't like. Especially when its something as simple as wanting accurate body parts, that they have already have made. Mattel make figures that will sell, Bill has said this before. NXT is popular and its merchandise sells incredibly well, its makes sense they are making NXT figures. We shouldn't be treating this like Mattel is slipping NXT guys into the line as a nod to collectors, in hopes the higher ups wont notice. The entire panel today was NXT guys, its not a case of being happy they are in the line. Its expected, much like 90% of the roster.

That torso only works for Kofi. I hope so, the figure would be flawless. I agree with the Kofi comment too, its based on his funky chest. Which I don't think anybody on the roster but him has.

I know everybody seems to hate the Fandango torso, but maybe that would look best for Bàlor?

Im not old enough to drive but still it doesn't look too bad, really we're lucky we are getting it in the elite line.

Mattel is the opposite of Jakks. Except for DM Sting, John Cena and Elite 27 Fandango....essentially EVERY figure is given smaller, less muscular parts than the actual real life wrestler.

It'll probably be changed since the basic has the ripped torso

I'm not OCD enough to care. I wasn't that bothered with Jakks figures having ridiculous torsos and arms (except for my tights/singlet Taker being shorter than my Renee Dupree figure). I'm not that bothered if a Mattel figure doesn't have a spot on representation. I'm more concerned about things that hamper playability like loose torsos, joints, or stiff knee pads. Finn Balor's elite could have Daniel Bryan's body and I wouldn't care that much.
Although that elite Fandango torso is straight up inhuman. WTF?

Ill be getting two and one of the basics with unpainted heads to have one painted and one non-painted. That is brilliant. You could get the t-shirt series and put the painted head on that one. That way you could still have a cool looking Balor without it looking really weird like a painted head and unpainted torso.

Don't like it? Don't get it. Problem solved. There's still more than enough time to improve it. Exactly. Easy pass for me.

I'm too busy staring at the M$M elite, elite painted Balor.

I'm buying this figure no matter what!! And I'm definitely gonna buy the basic to fix up the elite. I'll have have like six elite Devitts when it's all said and done ha ha.
I don't think the op is bitching. He's simply expressing concern. I too share the same concern with this dude having that Hornswoggle torso ha ha. Finn is just way too shredded!! Id like to see him with the elite 17 Kofi torso. I think it'd be perfect.
Not gonna be a deal breaker for me but I'd definitely love to see the figure mimic the real life counterpart to the fullest. And I think that torso is perfect. But again, gonna buy like six of the basics and elite regardless ha ha.

I agree. But, I'm buying the figure regardless. Attention to detail is very important, and I hope MattelDesignTeam listens to this detail complaint for the final product.

I feel like everyone is super horny for Balor right now, and I think that will eventually wear off a bit. This thread is getting way too much undeserved hate. Fingers crossed that they choose an accurate torso. I truly hope people don't really want inaccurate figures when it shouldn't be hard for Mattel to choose the correct parts.

Lmao it doesn't matter if you can drive you're not getting the point I do understand your point but everything can't be perfect, plus the pic is a prototype so it may not have the same torso anyway.
