They had a set of larger hands for big guys like Hogan etc. Not sure why they didnt use them or adapt them for swapping

Holy crap, this story really blew up quick: Not sure why they led off with a picture of Donald Trump and Marco Rubio but it's W I L D that the CBC is covering this now.

What do I think? I don't care! First world problems!! “Oh, you can’t have any problems or complaints because you were unknowingly and unwillingly born into a first world country while others where unknowingly and unwillingly born in third world countries and have legitimate problems and complaints.”

I get that I shouldn't be laughing, and I don't mean to, but some of yinz are just too funny.
That said, I don't have the Hogan elite in front of me, nor do I feel like looking up photos, but I will say that there are times when they get the hands grossly wrong and it's laughable. I mean, beyond first world problems, it straight up ruins the figure until you can swap them.
Drake Maverick, anyone?

Honestly the only hands that I've noticed and really bothered me were the ones that came with Drake Maverick. It looked like he was wearing Incredible Hulk fists.

This Hulk Hogan elite seems to share the same hand molds as other recent figures with swappable hands. Old elite Hogans used a bigger gripping hand mold than other figures. For example compare the elite DM Hulk grip hand to an elite Flair or steamboat gripping hand. Hulks are bigger. This would make sense since Hulkster was a big guy. This latest Hulk shares the same grip hand mold as SS Bret. This hand looks maybe slightly bigger than past grip hands used on guys brets size. However Hulk also shares the same smaller fists and slap hands (SS bret has these) as recent figures. These fist and slap hands seem way too petite for hulk. Kind of like how old basic Hulks had smaller hands than his elites. What u guys think?
Can you post some photos showing this?

I don't understand why people are acting like this is an unreasonable gripe. I've been a member on this board for a long ass time, and I've seen people complain about a hell of a lot less.
It's a legitimate issue, and it's been one for years now. Big guys like Hogan, Lesnar, Strowman, etc shouldn't have the same size hands as smaller guys. It looks weird to have huge arms down to the wrist and then little baby hands at the end.
I had to constantly do hand swaps a few years back when they finally made some proportionately scaled ones...but then for whatever reason they'll still randomly use the small ones again.
I think the SS Hogan is great, but having bigger fists would make it better. Unfortunately I don't really know of any figures with larger fists with that skin tone. I actually don't mind the grip hands and the open hands, so I've mainly been using them

I was going to say that I’m surprised by all the negativity. This is an actual annoying issue that can make a figure stand out or cost a collector extra money/effort if they wish to correct it themselves. Why is this so hard for Mattel to correct or get right?

It’s the reason I am passing on preordering the UE Undertaker. The hands are way to small on that figure’s arms.

The fist hands seem too small even for guys they’re *supposed* to go with. I’ll never put them on my Hogan.

That’s nothing compared to the tiny Alexa Bliss fists that came with Chyna. Baby Hands Chyna is the creepiest thing I’ve seen in a toy.
