Are you not reading what I'm writing? 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. theres literally no point in carrying this on. If you think riddles arms are the correct length for his massively jacked body then that's great. You've posted passive aggressive responses mocking opinions to both myself and others in this thread, including this one. You tried to end the discussion by getting one more jab in rather than just saying we clearly disagree on this. I've posted actual photo evidence supporting my point, and if you read my posts carefully I did say I thought the bicep was too short, but the net effect was the correct length. I did not say every part of the arm was perfectly proportioned. Not everyone has limbs the same size, and in some cases the looks can be deceiving. In Riddles case (Much like my own) we have very long legs. I did a test in kin and we measured my femur's to be identical to a 6'0 linemans. I'm 5'8 for the record. I also have relatively broad shoulders for my frame and a shorter torso, so my arms look kinda lanky and thin, but in reality it's a net effect of a shorter torso and wider shoulder frame. Not all people exist in the same proportions. Riddle isn't identical to me but the basic principle is similar. If anything the reason the arms are too "short" is because the shoulder is inserted lower on the figure than in real life, so in order to have the arms line up correctly with his lower body, they had to use a smaller arm. If you disagree that's cool, but trying to belittle others opinions and mock them is not.

What arms did you end up using ? And did you also do a shoulder swap as well? I did not switch the ball joints. My Riddle's torso had a slight gap in it already. I used Mizdow arms and for Drake I used Becky's hands. I heard someone else say u couldn’t switch the arms and had to crack to torso, r u sure it’s the mizdow arms that will fit and work?

hold on a second 😂 so his skinny legs are reflected well with absolutely massive jacked legs? 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 Bro, chill out! 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. The fact that people are this pressed over toys is ridiculous

One of my miz biceps was loose when I swapped them onto my riddle but I got it sorted with some electrical tape .I removed the black wrist tape with some acetone and now I'm completely satisfied with the figure .

I'm sorry but anyone disagreeing and also in general saying that the scale of this figure is correct needs their eyes tested. Riddles Torso and Legs are not that jacked in real life at all. Its way off, let alone the arm issue many are trying to fight for being correct. Someone already posted this picture of Riddle for his proportions. As noted Big Torso, skinny arms and skinny legs. Take a look at his legs. Now compare to these and tell me which is more in proportion and looks more anatomically correct. The thighs on the Mattel figure are WAY too jacked, the reason for this is undoubtably down to pure laziness of not wanting to create a skinny leg foot mould and just reusing the Kevin Von Eric mould as a whole and, effectively resorting to just sticking riddles head on a Kevin body which is why everything is huge. Miss opportunity let alone moulding the crotch and leg pegs in white plastic and then painting the shorts on looks totally awful. I'd say im disappointed but its nothing that cant be fixed with a few part swaps and a good customiser, but shouldn't have to be is more so the point especially after having to pay out for the figure, head, jacket, sliders, headband are cool, rest is lazy and implemented terribly. In my opinion of course.

I mean we can go down a whole rabbit hole here in a hurry. Take a look at the FTR figures and tell me their parts reflect their builds relative to the other roster figures. Like they aren't even close. Cash is a freaking cement outhouse in real life and his figure looks as thin as Jack Gallagher. Aj styles comes to mind as well in that regard. I'm not saying the Riddle is perfect, far from it, but it's not like he's the only figure that isn't accurate. His legs are definitely too ripped and thick, but by the same token they're too thin in those customs. (I used what appears to be the same or very very similar parts for my own Riddle custom and the legs are too skinny on mine too.) Heck look at it my Erik's thighs for the Viking Raiders. Which actually might have been good parts for Riddle legs when I think of it lol.
Edit: undoubtedly the custom is closer than the actual fig, I'm not disputing that. Just like I think my own custom is closer than the actual fig proportion wise. I'm just saying it's far from a Riddle only issue

The length of a man's arms in a pic where his shoulders arent positioned the same, his biceps are turned in slightly, his elbows bent slightly and his hands far smaller than the figure is not the same as being exactly alike. Drawing off measurements does nothing. The arms are a hair too short. The torso a hair too jacked, and the legs way too cut. It looks strange.

Bill and Steve need to be fired and live in a box on the streets for this. It’s the same thing Jakks did. Hasbro needs the license!” and “My children haven’t eaten in days because their Elite Matt Riddle has short arms! They’re malnourished!”
