you guys know we could do this all day right???
as a bit of a customiser and OCD man, I find myself swapping parts 9/10 times (or adding pads or changing pads etc)
Mattel has cancelled lines before, do not be surprised if they do it here, things are NOT improving they are getting worst, cost cutting left right centre...
They know the problems, they see our feedback, yet they still go ahead with the half arsed products...

I am currently in the process of making a kurt angle after making the camo one using the entrance greats but it's just too j2acked to be properly happy with it. I sculpted the singlet on stone cold torso and the bottom of the singlet over cody Rhodes thighs. Imo this is the correct scale for kurt angle although I might be being biased

I swapped biceps with a Cass figure and I love it. Torso doesn't really bother me.

With Angle being a bigger dude in a singlet most of the time the molds were a lot more limited to pick from. So I can see maybe making excuses for that. But damn, so many other guys get 100% the wrong parts when there are great molds to pick from that would be damn near perfect. I get the frustration. Rich Swann is one that comes to mind immediately. Why would they use the torso designed specifically for Kofi on Swann when the standard small torso would have at least looked like his physique. Because Swann and Kofi have the same skin color and they don't have to do much to change it. Laziness.

Not sure if this was bought up yet but why didn't they just choose the Jack Swagger torso? If this has been suggested already my apologies.

My biggest problem with the Angles isnt the arms or torso, but the legs. They just painted a singlet onto Triple H legs and it looks lazy.

@martyboy2015 how did you mold that singlet so perfectly. Awesome. I always liked that headscan too.

@martyboy2015 you nailed it man, very nice work. I'd buy that in a second, but so far I have not liked any official mattel Kurts enough to purchase. Hopefully they'll change their Angle spreadsheet eventually, although it's rare for them to do so.

Wow, now THAT is a good representation of Kurt Angle! They need to go back to the drawing board and make his AE figures look more like this.

That looks great! That’s just about the perfect size for Angle. People (at least the people at Mattel) seem to forget Kurt was considered small in his era. He was the smallest of all the Attitude main eventers (Jericho wasn’t exactly main event yet) and even when he was jacked up like a Roidy Magoo in TNA he wasn’t a guy that should be getting those giant Triple H & Ryback parts (and neither should Velveteen)

I made a camo angle from vengeance 2002 and while I was relatively happy with how it turned out that huge f'n body just annoyed me too much. So that's when I decided to try my hand at sculpting a singlet. Luckily the feedback has been amazing
