Still after all these years…Head scale issues.

Seems like they go in a cycle of getting bigger and bigger, then they get a special project person that they really focus on and scale them right. That's when the shrink happens but it's likely the right scale and size, but with so many inflated heads along the way they seems small. It's the weirdest thing because you would think they keep checking the scale as they go with every head they make. Maybe something about loading templates and the overlay makes them a tiny bit bigger each time until they really check.

BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY. And a crackpot one at that...

Basics suck. Super skinny legs or comically large heads. Also disproportional bodies oh yeah no necks too

That new Eddie Abomination, the likeness is the only good thing about it but the scaling issues make him look like he has a pinhead.

Rhea... they need to rework her entirely. She's not the same size she was before. You can't use a standard womens body with her anymore and expect it to look right. Her shoulders are insanely broad now and yeah. They need to make a special torso scale mold just for her. They'll do it for the guys but they rarely ever want to do it with the women short of the big women who it would be extremely offensive if they made them skinny. (Like Nia and Piper.) It took us ages to even get a larger mold womens basic body that they can use for people like Tamina and Natalya now. They need to find a way to make a torso that fits Rhea before her next figure. Redo the head as well, yes, because I agree that the proportions on her head look weird. Like they took a head that would normally have hair covering the sides and then just left the hair off. It doesn't work without the long hair.


Yeah. Rhea needs a redo. Love her as a performer, and love to see her getting figures, but they need to do a lot more work to make *them* work.

The new RA UE Lesnar appeals to have Beetlejuice syndrome. Same reason I passed on the UE Batista.

I’ve never gotten to see a Mattel Harley Race in person, but I hope he doesn’t look as much like a bobblehead as the pictures would lead me to believe.

Basics are a mess but sometimes their heads are a better option. Rhea for example I just picked up her basic head and
tossed it on the elite and looks way better.

I think thats sorta been Mattels long con on some figures, give basics better scans so you're forced to grab both if you want an accurate figure.

To the OP yeah some of Mattel feels like reliving the Jakks era all over again. Colors messed up, scale all over the map, heads ballooning/not looking anything like the Superstar. When Mattel is on they're on but when they churn out crap we only got us to blame cause we still buy it and hope for better.

😂😂 is it that bad.
