OK this is a serious question and I don't want it turned into a joke but does anyone else find it strange that WWE figures don't have nipples? I was looking through my collect and I saw on the BCA and early TTL's that the figures had nipples and to be truthful it makes the bodies more realistic.
From around mid 2000 nipples slowly started to disappear from figures and by the middle of the TTL era they had gone completely and never returned. Also Mattel put so much detail in their figures and it pays off greatly but the lack of nipples really takes away the realistic look from.
For instance one of my friends painted nipples on a few of his figures and the difference was unbelievable especially on the DM Bret and Cesaro figures.

All wwe superstars are actually having their nipples removed. Its why cesaro, orton, rollins, kidd, cena and bryan are out right now.

It's actually better they don't. We'd get complaints that they're too dark, too light, or cesaros are too small.

It's not as bad as the unpainted lips, which make smiling headscans like Hall's and Wyatt's latest look completely inhuman and terrifying.

But in all honesty, I'd bet that someone complained (a parent) or wwe made the request (probably because of a complaint lol) which would explain why the lack thereof has carried over from one company to the next. |

I've said this many times, but every time I get a new figure, I have to paint the lips and add the little white dots to the eyes. It's become an OCD thing, but for being such tiny details, it adds SO much to the figure. Like, seriously, it totally changes the way some figures look and makes them go from being decent to perfect. Oddly enough, the proto pic for basic 58 Edge looks like his lips are painted. Whether that carries over to final product remains to be seen, but it'd be nice |

If left unpainted, they'd look weird. ( Looking at you, BCA Triple H.) If they were to sculpt and paint them, they'd definitely be the first things to chip away during play. If they were to paint a bare torso as a skintight attire like Elite Doink the Clown, nipples would stick out like... well, sore nipples. It'd be much more noticeable than something like a belly button. |

That's UNPOSSIBLE! The figures are made exactly to scale.

Why is this a question?
Why does it matter?
Who goes "You know what my Yokozuna figure needs? A nice pair of nipples."
Seriously.

Diva figures with nipples would be more marketable.  But yeah seriously, this got awkward real quick. |

Seriously. Did you ever see his BCA figure? Those nipples don't do much for me. They actually look odd. I don't want or need nipples on my figures, and I sure as hell don't want people complaining that their figures' nipple paint smeared or chipped. |
