Matt Riddle's elite figure suffers from the opposite disease of the Elite Rhyno. Riddle was given the same arms as Drake Maverick's elite and looks like a T-Rex. Do the designers hold a completed figure in hand before they are mass produced? How could they green lighted this? Also, Drake Maverick has normal sized hands which look ridiculous as well. I usually am pleased overall with Mattel's figures and in my opinion they have produced the best wrestling figures ever. It is just miscues like this that boggle my mind.

Wouldn’t know, my package was supposed to be delivered three days ago but FedEx being FedEx hasn’t done crap and it’s sitting in some warehouse the next state over.

I don't think it's that the arms are small, it's that they made him JACKED.

Yeah it came today and it’s really disappointing. I think the arms are fine Riddle’s arms irl are pretty average. It’s the calves and thighs that really kills me. He’s ripped torso wise but Riddle is pretty lanky leg wise. I finished my custom today using Flair body & UFC Calves and it absolutely murders the elite release in terms of parts. And the most frustrating part is seeing the Gargano bs they’re gonna keep using this garbage formula.
Edit: Oh god I just really looked at them and they’re tiny. They look like Rey arms. Jesus this figure is so disappointing man. Only positives tbh are the Slides & Headband. The head is kinda good but the pain apps are really underwhelming. Legit 3/10 figure here as sad as that is to say

Has anyone come up with a fix for it? Probably just some Rollins arms with the wristbands acetoned off. That’s what I use for my custom Riddles |

They've literally used the drake maverick arms and people are getting accused of nitpicking. One of the ugliest laziest most frustrating figures ever produced and sums up everything that's wrong with mattel. We will no doubt get loads of riddle attires but the body is so bad and inaccurate that the only thing worth keeping is the head and jacket. Those legs are a sackable offence and those paint apps on the trunks JEEEEZZZZZ   |

Maybe it’s just me, but having the figure in hand... I see no major issues with it.  |
