I gotta be honest, I'm really not seeing major issues with this figure from pics, and I don't even care for Riddle much.

I’m still over here wanting bigger arms for Bray elites for the past 7 years. They finally gave him larger arms with the Fiend figure that just came out.

I still think they’re the same arms his elites have always had. Also, I want to say I saw someone ask AFA if the Fiend would have larger arms than past Bray elites and he said they were the same.

This figure has very bad proportions. Hopefully in future they will fix these issues.

Matt has a HUGE torso and skinny arms in real life. I’m actually glad the made it accurate to how he’s actually proportioned. Whenever we get these "they screwed up (blank)" threads, I think people don't stop to actually look at a picture of the person they're talking about. Riddle is oddly proportioned and I think the figure reflects it decently. If anything, you might be able to make the argument that the arms they used are a bit too cut.

And his skinny arms are reflected well with arms that are 3/4 of the length of a normal 6ft guy 😂 I swear some of you would buy a pile of crap if it said mattel on it

Yeah they made him too lean but beyond that the proportions aren't bad. He has thin lanky arms and a barrel chest, they stayed pretty true to that. The arms go pretty much perfect length for him and are proportionally accurate to his torso. Riddle has a build really similar to myself I'm just shorter. Our arms do look weird irl lol. I don't know that they really have a current torso mold that better fits, the less lean thick torsos usually don't include the wide lats. Legs are too ripped and a bit too big for the usual leg scale mattel uses but again I don't know if the part actually exists. They already made a non rubber jacket, flip flops and bare feet for him. Gotta use stock parts for the rest or he'd cost way too much to produce.

Bicep is a bit short but the total arm goes to the right length

His arms hit the bottom of his trunks on both the figure and his photo there. Bicep is a bit short but the total arm goes to the right length if people cant see theres something wrong here I give up lmao You literally just showed evidence supporting my point lol... Look at where his closed knuckles goes to on that figure. Right at the bottom of his trunks. Look at where his closed fist goes on the photo above, right to the bottom of his trunks... From his groin to his thigh the trunks are approx like 40% on both that figure and the photo. Like I get the legs are too thick and ripped, but honestly not by that much. The real issue is they're giving guys like Rollins, AJ, etc way too skinny of legs, which has been action figure 101 since the dawn of time.

You’re spamming your already voiced opinion and you also posted this in the AFA Q&A thread. And ON TOP of all that, you posted AGAIN on the Q&A thread throwing a fit because he didn’t answer your rude and obsessive opinion/question. We get it, you don’t like it. Pass on it. Move on from it.

Matt has a HUGE torso and skinny arms in real life. I’m actually glad the made it accurate to how he’s actually proportioned. Whenever we get these "they screwed up (blank)" threads, I think people don't stop to actually look at a picture of the person they're talking about. Riddle is oddly proportioned and I think the figure reflects it decently. If anything, you might be able to make the argument that the arms they used are a bit too cut. I am very familiar with Matt Riddle. He doesn't look like his arms are too short for his body in real life. The figure is made up of pre-existing parts that a designer puts together to create a likeness of the person. The problem is the proportions of the arms given do not match the proportions of the torso. Just thinking of the figures in relation to their actual heights, a 6'2" inch person does not have the wingspan of a 5'4" person. Look at Riddle and Maverick in real life and you can see they have different arm sizes. Therein the logic that they should use the same size arms makes no sense when your figure line is based on size differential. The other problem is they have never used that size arm on that body. I have collected these figures for 10 years and have over 350 loose figures. This figure is alike in every way to Kevin Von Erich accept the arms and head. Kevin has the typical arms which look proportionate to the torso. I also showed my wife the figure. She doesn't know one figure from the next. I asked what she thought. She held it for 3 minutes and said "I believe the arms are to o short". So no, I didn't create this thread without thought or to come at Mattel. I love this line over all and they kill it nearly all the time. I am sure Ringside Collectibles can attest to my fandom by looking at my account and my purchases from them alone. I swear whenever we get these "don't complain about a figure you bought" person that replies to a post they haven't taken the time to consider that someone is coming from a place of wanting to have something they buy be improved on rather than settling for whatever is produced .

I'm saying Riddles arms in the toy are proportioned to his trunks the exact same as the photo of Riddle above. I didn't say anything about Rollins arms.

Move on from it. what was rude about my opinion? If you're gonna come on here and answer questions why not answer the ones that everyone is asking instead it just makes people more frustrated. Also if you are happy with the arms and the figure itself then why are you even commenting on this thread? By your logic I Thought you'd be happy to pick up the figure and MOVE ON.

If you think riddles arms are the correct length for his massively jacked body then that's great.
