Here are my recent gets , I was just messing around with them and decided to look up these Superstars heights. They are actually very accurate . Paul bearer 5'11 Booby Heenan 6'0 Mr. Perfect 6'3 Big John Studd 6'10 Undertaker 6'10 and 1/2 Andre the Giant 7'4 Sasha Banks 5'5 Here is pic to show the comparisons. I collected Jakks for years and scale always bothered me . I'm so happy Mattel has focused on that , I know it's not perfect but it's very close . Today was a great day of pick ups .  |

Scale is well off. There is apparently 7 inches between Perfect and Studd, and 6 inches between Bearer and Banks, look at the actual differences.
Great figures though

Mattel definitely kills it when it comes to scale, they're not perfect but they usually get it pretty close. Great pic.

I don't really see any scale problems.

I don't really see any scale problems. So you see less height difference between Sasha and Bearer than Perfect and Studd? There should be but there's not |

These pics are at a terrible angle for your stated purpose (comparison and scale). Put them each against a wall with a ruler behind them, not lined up one in front of the other. Plus you have to make sure their legs are equally spread apart. Big John Studd looks like he's almost doing a split.

Mattel never said it was going to be a perfect scale. But I think it is pretty good. Everyone in that pic is taller than the people they are supposed to be. Personally I think they do their scale by certain height ranges. So if a group of wrestlers are in a certain height range their figures will be roughly the same height. I would think their range is something along this line.
5'7"-5'11"
6'-6'3"
6'4"-6'7"
6'-8"-6'11"
7' and up
Sure there have been a few misses, but it is 100% better than the past companies where Rey was as tall and built as guys líke Triple H and the Undertaker.

Perfect is standing ahead of Studd as Banks is directly next to Bearer. That's why it looks off.
Perfect looks right compared next to Heenan. Studd looks righ standing next to Taker.
Relax folks, it's all about the angle

ANYBODY complaining go look at the Jakks, Hasbro, LJN / Mattel comparison threads somewhere on this first page. If you still want to complain about Mattel then it really is time to think about getting out and finding a new hobby
Is Mattel perfect? No
They are light years ahead of anything else us wrestling collectors have had
Just enjoy them, perfectly scaled or not

None of those make wrestling figures anymore though Jakks did at least two years ago and those were trash True. But it's an inaccurate comparison to say look at hasbros and then look at Mattel. Hasbros never claimed to be scale or "highly detailed action figures" Hasbro made 4 inch action figures, not scale figures The technology from 1991 has changed |

Mattel gives us a great, great product for the money. Everything can't be perfect |

Mattel gives us a great, great product for the money. Everything can't be perfect That's true they are. I was just saying, Mattel can't say they are scale figures and then produce them out of scale, if they never claimed they were going to be to scale it'd be fine. Look at Sasha and Bearer, then look at Perfect and Studd, Bearer is billed as 6 inches taller than Sasha and Studd is billed as 7 inches taller than Perfect Don't get me Wrong, I love these figures, a lot! But little niggles that's all. Trust me, I'm a Mattel fan, big time |

I was so happy when I picked up my first Mattel Rey Jr. He felt tiny. Undertaker was taller than regular 6' guys. Andre felt like a big hunk of plastic. They rule and I love them

Mattel sucks, I'm done with Mattel, wrong torso, wrong shins, tape doesn't go up on hand enough, wrong this, wrong that. It gets so old to see over and over. Appreciate the effort they put into these things and what they are TRYING to provide us (granted it doesn't always come out great, but that's life) |

I don't really see any scale problems. Look at OP's picture. Sasha Banks is 5'5" and Paul Bearer is 5'11", there looks to be more than a foot difference in height, opposed to 6". The others look OK in comparison with each other, but that one stands out. |
