WWE Elites compared to UE/AEW Figures

Jazwares does it much better than Mattel does.

I personally like the Jazzwares figure style a lot more than elites. Not to go off topic but especially considering Mattel's lack of quality control/correct parts as of late, I have become a much bigger fan of AEW figures. I think Jazzwares sort of makes these figures for adult collectors while Mattel is still doing a lot of marketing towards children. That just means AEW is giving more eye to detail, correct parts, etc. There are a handful of things AEW has done that were big misses (W5 Moxley scan, W2 Hangman clown shoes, W2 Dustin having Andre height) but overall, I prefer them over Mattel figures these days.

One reason is because of the torsos. I understand the similarity between UE torsos and Jazzwares torsos but I don't think they are identical at all. AEW figures crunch and move very well while the UE figures still show a lot of restraint. UE's also look clunky a lot of the time. I especially see a problem with UE Triple H, Warrior, Shinsuke and HBK. They just don't look good on those figures. But AEW does a great job making the torsos look realistic and and life-like while still giving us the great articulation.

i like the aew figures but you try to make luchasaurus bend over and he snaps in half. at least mattel figures don't snap in half 

Yeah those waists on the male Ultimates have bothered me from the start. Such an unseemly transition that Jazwares did much better aesthetically. The hinge joint was never that big a deal to me, heck I would still gladly get solid pieces for certain guys if Basics were worth it.

But what do I know, I'm just a mark.

I always thought the Ultimate Edition torso had fat guy type of pecs and never understood why they felt it was necessary. It actually takes the attention away from their chest. It at some examples make the featured wrestler bigger than they should look, Jeff Hardy's Ultimate Edition for example. It shows that some people are not impressed by the final product because it is readily available on the Amazon UK site, where as with The Rock Amazon exclusive it was never available.

?? The Rock was available for pre-order (from Amazon) for months...

I do agree that Jeff looks too big/bulky though.

So far Mattel's Ultimate editions look bad compared to what Jazzware makes for the AEW line.

I prefer Elite's from Mattel and Unrivaled style from Jazzware's.

What is the difference between AEW Unrivaled and AEW Unmatched?

Thanks.
