Hi folks,
quick question for anyone who happens to display loose figures (or even who plays with them or does feds or whatever). If you wanted to pair a model motorbike with the (American Bad Ass) Undertaker and were just gonna buy something random online, what kinda scale would you be looking at buying?
I know the lads that do the "extreme sets" offer their arena in 1:12 scale, but Im not sure if that is accurate or not (or if that is smaller than it should be)?
My poor grasp of math tells me that an average wrestler is 6.5 foot, and average figure is 6.5 inches, therefore 1:10 (ish) is the right scale?
Anyone actually bought a motorbike for him? (I know Mattel released a "wrekkin" one for him, but i think it looks a tad too childish).

1:10 bikes look good with Taker.

http://instagram.com/p/COsimJDJmlh I used a 1:12 Maisto Harley Davidson motorcycle, but it is too small for Undertaker and looks like an adult riding a kid's tricycle. Maybe you can try some of the Marvel Legends motorcycles that came with Punisher, Wolverine, etc. 1:10 motorcycles are expensive. |

Ohh... I'm glad you posted that! I was just about to buy a Maisto 1:12 thinking it'd be just perfect. Glad I didn't now, obviously, but that picture is extremely helpful! Thank you.

The Wrekkin bike customized with a more realistic paint job would probably be the best bet, yeah. I think the Marvel Legends bikes are best for pure 1:12 scale, although they might be a little bigger than a 1:12 model or diecast just because they've got a level of comic book stylization to them. I think some companies have done 1:10 cycles, though - pretty sure Maisto and Hot Wheels have both done Harleys in that scale.

http://instagram.com/p/CVnPLSILswS I used this one (and I'm sure a lot of other people did too) from the Marvel Legends line. Came with a Punisher figure. Still available pretty cheap from online major retailers, too. |

I think the punisher bike works. You could even paint in some of the details to make it differentiate. I won’t lie I think the wrekkin motorcycle looks like trash, but then again it wasn’t made for us older collectors. I think there’s also some model kits you could buy and assemble a chopper at Michaels. I don’t remember the name.

Personally I’d just go with the wrekkin one - at least you know size rise it’s ok
I don’t think it looks too bad, the WWE logo isn’t huge snd stand out, it’s the same colour grey as the part of the engine and there is the alternative fuel cover or whatever they are if you don’t like the lightning bits?

I used the Punisher motorcycle. Decently scaled and you can pose Taker on there just fine.
