Heading back home from Toronto after attending the house show tonight. Was very fun, and I got to meet R Truth before the show. Awesome night

Aren't they too big though? The last Earthquake was standing at 7' in scale last I checked. I could be wrong though.

The last Earthquake was standing at 7' in scale last I checked. I could be wrong though. I'm referring to the original Natural Disasters figures. I'm not sure about the last one. Going by their billed heights, Mattel is all over the map anyway, but I'd rather have Quake and Typhoon look bigger on my shelf than smaller. ![](https://i.imgur.com/tQxVjYD.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/ruM3t9l.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/mTBYMF9.jpg)

Tinkering with heights of figures is basically my hobby these days. Mattel is at least still a little better than Jakks. My Eddie Guerreros don't tower over my Lesnars.

HandsomeHollywood I totally agree. Ultimates are getting worse looking rather than better. I pass on at least half of them now. Your Eddie looks outstanding. Did you also fix the skin tone? Looks awesome!

Looks awesome! Doesn't help that Ultimates haven't been available at Canadian retail for over 3 or 4 years. When their look is hit or miss AND you have to import them from the US at an inflated cost it makes most of them easy passes.

Looks awesome! Yeah I mixed a skin tone paint that's kind of halfway between accurate and what Mattel gives him. Lighter skin tones are hard to make.

Citadel kislev flesh is a pretty great light fleshtone that requires no mixing. Here it is on my Dan Severn BCA custom. ![](https://i.imgur.com/BAmdJSh.jpg)

Like I said earlier, tinkering with figures is basically my hobby now. I barely collect as much as I'm buying up cheap stuff for more parts. Mixing paints and all that is a part of it that brings me joy!

I miss a few days going to wakmart and of course the ruthless aggression set comes in and I miss out on Nash. I did pick up Shelton though.

Man Canada has really lagged behind the US in literally every wave of every wrestling figure line. What gives?
You would think that during the holidays we'd see a bunch of new stuff on the shelves but all we got was stuff that the states had already gotten months prior.

It really has been this way for the entirety of Mattels wwe run. I recall getting E23 and E24 at retail here, then nothing again until like E33. Sucks ass for sure. It’d be nice to walk in Walmart or ToysRUs and actually find a wrestler worth buying.
