Ultimates are great for the entrance gear. But if I don't plan on displaying it with the gear on, I don't buy it. These torsos just look rough across the board. The Austin/Flair one is the only one I don't hate.

 ...sweet mother of God... I'm trying to remain positive - but some of these Ultimate Edition figures just look... 😬 for some unknown reason I don't like how butterfly joint looks on Rey. Rey Mysterio doesn't even need an ultimate figure. His elites feel more articulated than regular elites already. |

I feel like Rey looks very old here, or something. Like they've photoshopped out his walker or something. Not sure why, but he just looks very frail and like he's doing a retirement reunion show or something.

Although the Eddie looks a bit jarring, I think it's being a bit exaggerated here. The figure looks terrible because of the random bits of articulation all over the torso making it very disjointed, but in terms of using it as a torso choice, I think some of ye may be forgetting just how big Eddie was back then. It's not too far off. The lack of hair highlights is a bigger issue, as the headscan looks more like an Eddie/Chyna time period without them (despite the shorter hair).
 Eddie was  ing huge at the time, I have no idea why this is being blown out of proportion like this (well I do, because it's us), but I don't think there is a mold that would have looked right. Either it would have been slightly oversized or glaringly undersized. |

Ultimates are getting kind of sloppy lately. Just got Seth in today and he is gigantic. I dont know if its the head, torso or legs but he towers over some of the others. Hes almost as tall as Kane. Ya know, I keep seeing people saying Seth is way too tall. But he's listed at 6'1" and Roman at 6′ 3″....  I also compared mine to his last elite and it's only a smidge taller. So I don't know if there are different versions with various scale or what. |

I hate that expression (or more accurately the lack of) on Shawn's face. My only problem with this figure. At least the head is proportional to rest of his body, unlike Ultimate Eddie. |

Hmm thats interesting, I just put mine toe to to with Roman and they were practically the same height, it could be argued that Seth was actually a smidge taller. |

That torso has never bothered me before and it's actually personally my favorite UE torso in the UE line. However that was the wrong parts choice for Eddie. His Elite figure has a unique hybrid torso that doesn't have a UE counterpart yet not even a basic counterpart! Probably could've been the right time to make one reflecting that OG elite Eddie torso. Also I hope that UE Rock has a collar for that shirt. His Elite figures aren't a unique or hybrid torso, it's just the same torso used on Brian Pillman, Kevin Von Erich, Matt Riddle, and maybe some others Well let me be more specific that torso isn’t unique to Eddie I know that, but that torso doesn’t actually have a basic/ UE counterpart. Look at Macho Man for example he uses the exact same elite torso, yet his basics uses the Damien Sandow torso (or at least most of them does) and that torso (the Damien Sandow one) does have an elite/ UE version of it. I call it hybrid because Mattel tends to use that torso when they are giving it to figures that have basics that uses the Sandow, Triple H, and Barrett torsos it’s like their middle ground of them. |

Either it would have been slightly oversized or glaringly undersized. Eddie was big, but he wasn’t cut like Warrior - it would be less weird looking if they’d gone with the Fan Takeover HBK/Flair Ultimate torso (which was too big for HBK, but that’s another conversation and it didn’t ruin the aesthetics of the figure the way this torso choice does.) As it is, this is goofy looking no matter how you slice it. |

Are you sure the hips aren't dropped down? Because if not, that's odd. |

But yea ill take a picture when I have a chance, Seth does stand a tad bit taller for my two figs. |

I think a lot of people here forget these are action figures, not 1 to 1 reactions. |
