I saw a bunch of people (like, one person actually) say the Samoa Joe body would be a better fit for Dain, so here's what that looks like. ---------- Can you let the team know about this post? If Killian ever gets another release this may be worth considering.
----------
Let's start with the original figures. Nothing wrong with Samoa Joe, but WWE/Mattel would have us believe Dain is a cut monster under all that gear. I ain't havin' none o' dat malarky! --------- Now without the heads or skirt --------- This is the Samoa Joe upper on the Dain lower. •They have the same arms. •The height from the waist swivel to the top of the neck ball is about the same, give or take a millimeter to human error when meassuring. The height didn't change. •Clearly there's flabby overhang.
---------- However, once you put the skirt back on: WHAT EVEN IS THIS- A PERFECT FIT! ---------- Heads popped back on ---------- Gear fits just fine. -------- So what did we learn: •Yes, the parts fit perfectly and it's more accurate physique. •I didn't have to resort to hacking plastic chunks to make the parts fit together. •The height doesn't change because the upper bodies are the same height.
•The flabby overhang is unsightly, but it mates flushly with the skirt, so problem solved. Who's going to go through the trouble of removing the skirt anyway, aside from me when I make weirdo photocomics? --------
This concludes today's exploration into an issue no one asked about. You're welcome.
[UPDATE: Rikishi on page 2]

That actually looks really good. It’s wierd to think that Dain and Brock share the same torso considering that Brock is in better shape. I also get that they’re more idealized torsos, just not sure about the process behind selecting them. I know I bring this up constantly, but the hall of champions eddie torso would look excellent on the Wolfpac or half of fame sting. Henchmen4Hire do you have a hoc eddie and a Wolfpac Sting/hof? I would love to see a comparison between the torsos and if not a side by side. The torso on all the singlet stings are too thin/slim. |

He's not saying to actually do this. He's just suggesting a part change for future iterations. |

Now give the Joe figure some jacked arms, swap the head with a mean looking head and you got a neat create a wrestler.
Also, i only really just noticed how bad Dain's hair looks, i know he has the wet stringy hair but jeez those should parts looks awful.

I don't know, with gear, yes it's a better choice, but without gear (and still the belt), it just looks odd, maybe because of the missing hair, idk.

That's a good bit of work there. The build on yours comes off much better.
Also, holy hell - the Dain figure isn't on my radar to pick up, and thank god after seeing this. That hair overhang is hot garbage.

While I think the Dain figure looks good as it is, I'd love to know why Mattel didn't think of using that torso because it definitely does look better and more accurate.
It says something about Mattel's part choices when collectors can pick out more accurate parts for almost every figure they put out.

It says something about Mattel's part choices when collectors can pick out more accurate parts for almost every figure they put out. They should simply step up their communication game with their audience. I mean how hard can it be to build 2-3 figures together, not even speaking about faces, just for body parts alone, and then make an online poll somewhere (preferably a place like this) to find out what people think looks the best. Seriously, it's no witchcraft. |

As a favor Mr. Henchmen can try the dain on a rikishi body (if you have one) since they both wear similar gear like the skirt and same boots too. Just curious how that be because your dain is great and dope but I think the torso is just to tall and dain....is wide fella. Thanks in advance and please make more threads like you did
