How do they determine the height of each figure? Is there a ratio they use that they convert? And are the basics on the same line as the Elite?

Slot of figs are not to scale tho. Most of the time it just depends what mold they already have and decide to use. |

Its hard to get into exacts when its in this scale.
Parts play a part.
being billed at 6'4 and 6'5 would barely be a noticeable difference.

They are way off a lot of times. Sid Justice's figure is way taller than Baron Corbin's, but I'm real life Corbin is a couple inches taller than Sid.

Personally I think it is done in ranges. Where if a wrestler is in a certain height range they get the same parts as others in the range. Something along these lines...
5'6" and below
5'7"-5'11"
6' - 6'3"
6'4" - 6'6"
6'7"- 6'9"
6'10" and up
And basics and elites used to be to scale, but lately the basics have been shorter than their elite counterparts. (At least with crow and surfer Stings they have been off)

I'm pretty sure there isn't a scale for Basics. Not worth the time or money to get accurate heights.

I'm pretty sure they just guess at it.

The first few years the basic wrestlers and their elite counterparts where the same height 90% of the time. There was the occasional botch like basic Macho (Punk BP) being taller than the Legends/DM/All-Stars figures, but that was a rare occurrence. Only recently have they been botching scales between the two lines more frequently. (Basic/DM Surfer and Crow Sting figures come to mind) |

I meant Mattel cares about scale but not enough for Basics compared to Elites and right parts. Giving Macho and M$M mid length boots instead of high boots, etc. |

I'm not sure, but they botched the hell out of Rusev and Umaga.....they made them both SUPER TALL. Both should be way shorter with much thicker legs.

the billing changes as real life wrestling boots add approx. 2 inches, notice the big heel everytime they do a close up.
with yoko and the samoans its due to the mold, "unintentionally intentional."- (El Chavo del 8)

The last few elite Roman Reigns are freakishly tall. He towers over most of the figures and is taller than my E35 Orton, and he is noticeably shorter than Orton in real life. Elite Rollins are also too damn short. It looks like they use elite Daniel Bryan legs on him when he is nearly as tall as Roman, but Roman towers over him. Proof:  |

I think for the first few lines, they did it on a scale of "X is taller than Y" and then as the line went on and used mostly pre-existing parts, it slipped a bit. But even early on, there were exceptions. For some reason, Bill thought Jack Swagger was short and skinny (or tall and skinny for his elite) for about two or three years, and WWE never corrected him. And the original Swagger elite body was used for Mr Perfect, who it didn't work for either.
But for the most part, the scale for the male wrestlers is still pretty good. For the female wrestlers, there isn't a scale really.
