Karrion kross is supposed to be a taller guy so I think the elite scale fits him more.

Karrion kross is supposed to be a taller guy so I think the elite scale fits him more. Yes the elite is probably closer to the correct scale. But when Mattel started this they said all lines would be in scale with one another and for the most part they were. Minus Sting and Hitman figures. Their basics for the most part were smaller than their Elites. (B14 Hitman and the last two surfer Sting basics were the only ones that scaled with their elite counterparts.) but since changing the basic design more and more basics are being made shorter that their Elites. Every basic McIntyre and Orton are two off the top of my head and now we can add Kross to the list. It used to be if you didn’t want to spend $20 on an elite figure of someone you could by a basic and display him within the elites. But now they’ll be grossly out of scale to do it. |

Gotta love when basics get the boots right and elites completely miss the mark (Kross, Erik)

Gotta love when basics get the boots right and elites completely miss the mark (Kross, Erik) They're practically the same length when it comes to boots, the issue is the calves they used on Kross. Luckily it's not the same issue that Gargano had, so I'm going to try the same fix on my Elite Kross that people used on Aleister Black. |

I still dont like xpac's head and think it looks nothing like him Agreed. I mean, if you put that headsculpt in front of me without the bandana, I'd probably know who it was, but his facial structure is all off.
He just looks way too old. It looks like they made a scan of Ol' Man Sean and stuck it on an NWO X-Pac figure.

So, the chase Black is missing the new tats on the back of his leg. Glad I didn't get that one now. If I could just get hold of that kneepad...

they do the same with ric flair, all of his figures look like 65 year old ric with 30-40 year old ric hair xpac looks like someone cosplaying as xpac |

I like it because it doesn’t have his tongue hanging out. I hate when they do scans like that. I felt like Jakks ruined their Road Warriors because every Hawk used that tongue out scan. |

Those arms and legs on Austin are atrocious. The thighs could be thicker, but while the arms aren’t as large as I would like they are passable. |

Anxiously waiting for mine. It shipped Friday and I knew something was off when it didn’t arrive Saturday. I always get my packages the day after I get a shipping notice from RSC. Checked the tracking this morning and it said it was in White Plains (10 minutes from me). Checked again tonight when I still didn’t get it, and tracking said it was forwarded to Peekskill.
