I'm wondering who the community thinks are some of the best big guys mattel has made up to this point.
For me I have a few that come to mind when I think of big figures.
Bronson Reed is my most recent and probably my favorite because of the attire and he does move better than some of my others.
Keith Lee is my first and so far only chase figure but once I saw it I knew I'd probably have to get one off ebay because pink is one color I love seeing on figures and like Bronson is better than what came before.
Vader I knew I wanted 2 years ago when I got back into collecting but was out of my price range plus I heard he was coming in a legends set, I found he came with some pretty cool accessories and was happy to finally add him to my collection.
The last is my Elite 10 Big Show who unlike my Mark Henry moves a little better and I do like the shirt he came with as well as the belts.

The most recent one that comes to mind is the Royal Rumble Yokozuna. It's an underrated figure that took me months to find in store.
Tugboat, Kamala, Viscera, and Legends 10 Vader are also favorites.

Kamala is very underrated. Akeem is quality. Love the Heenan family pack Andre, Giant and Big Show. John Studd is good too.

Any of the Yokozuna figures are good too, although I prefer the faces of the HOF and SummerSlam ones (this latest RR one looks a bit constipated... 🥴)

Yeah, that Heenan pack Andre is my favorite Andre the Giant figure they have done so far, it is really good. Big John as well, and the new Legends figure too. And that Akeem ids great too. My Top 3 are Latest Vader Bundy WCW Giant I wish they would do another Bundy, one with a molded singlet. I missed the first release, a new Bundy would look great in the legends line. Elite 29 Andre Elite 31 Vader TNF Bam Bam TNF Earthquake and TyphoonAny of the Yokozuna figures are good too, although I prefer the faces of the HOF and SummerSlam ones (this latest RR one looks a bit constipated... 🥴) Yeah, those TNF figures were really good. Bam Bam is probably my favorite from those.

Viscera is really top notch. Underneath the coat it's very plainly just the Mabel body reused, but it somehow looks even bigger standing next to Mabel. Both of the Big Vis figures are great. I love the newest Bam Bam and Vader figures, too. A couple I haven't seen mentioned yet - the first Otis Elite is really great. I thought they got his look down perfectly. I also can't say enough about how much I love the Warbeard Hanson figure. Top to bottom one of my favorite Elites in my collection.

I really like that red tights Umaga from Elite Royal Rumble I think. That new legends Bam Bam was great aswell but will most likely be replaced by the Best of Legends Bam Bam rerelease. The recent Yokozuna was nice in his white and black attire. But Mable must the best best big man figure. Blends in perfectly with the Ultimate line (so does Yoko btw).

Count me in for another Bundy. I think they could do so much better now. Never thought the original likeness was captured especially the eyes. Not sure why he had giant kneepads either.
A new one with molded singlet.. .two heads one with eyebrows and one without and the five count hand. Low deco but instantly recognizable. I would buy one for the new Gen display and one for thr golden era display.

I think Mattel excels at making big guys. Viscera, Vader, Rikishi, The Giant were all good figures. Umaga is great too, but his legs are too long. Bam Bam is also another favorite of mine too.

I think Viscera looks great, but it's just a pity they didn't re-do him with a soft jacket. He's effectively a statuette. But he looks the part.
