Hammer has comically large thighs in real life. He had comically small thighs prior. Which do you prefer? |

Theyāve (Mattel) got so lazy, the mistakes being made arenāt acceptable. Who carries out the final pass off before these are made, Iād be questioning their job. Thing is, this probably isn't considered "lazy" to the casual fan and most people probably wouldn't even know the difference. BUT, this line in particular is aimed at "adult collectors" and the standards should be higher. Just my .02 I was going to say this too, many here on this board wouldn't know the difference if they just stayed away from these folks that care if a toy's chest is identical to the real humans version. I think we forget that we are the super (vocal) minority of wrestling fig buyers |

If thereās one thing Iāve ever learned from Wfigs itās that accuracy doesnāt matter with toys. Guess itās a good thing these guys donāt build bridges or buildings. I'm never taking anything you say seriously again if this isn't satire |

I'm never taking anything you say seriously again if this isn't satire Comparing toys to bridges and building was obvious sarcasm. Or so I thought. However, accuracy on $25-$35 toys is important to me and Iām not looking for anyone to agree with that. Weāve all got our own opinions and my opinion is accuracy is important if youāre using words and phrases like āhighly detailedā and āauthenticā |

I donāt think itās too much to ask either that a figure come with the correct details. And Iāve been pissed when Iāve dropped $25+ on a fig to find it has loose joints, incorrect BAF parts, poor paint job (ultimate Kane elbow comes to mind), etc. |

Ignoring the lack of tan, incorrect height, and scrawny proportions, it looks like he has a tank top tucked into  ing bikers. Not even a singlet. And he's had the wrong knee pads for 12 years. Perfect is one of the best total package performers to ever lace boots. This is embarrassing. |

But the Legends line, ultimates, crowdfunds, Coliseum collection, etc arenāt for kids. Anyone can say they are and thatās fine, but Iām confident thereās no 9 year old walking through the toy section freaking out because he just found a chase Samu toy My stance is, if you can make a near perfect figure like Ultimate 13 Hogan, upcoming ultimate Asuka, etc then thereās no logical explanation why all other figures canāt be as accurate and of good quality. Maybe weāre just some of the few that donāt just take it on the chin and say, āthank you, may I have another?ā |

If they weren't churning out the nonsense they've been churning out, that's something that shouldn't have to be said to begin with. All that does is show Mattel that ppl will still buy the crap. |

Funnily enough I was watching some Eddie vs Kurt stuff the other night and no matter the year, match, lighting, or literally any other factor, neither guy was ever even close to being that big or shredded |

Like Ultimate Eddie? Spoiler: it does look as bad in person and the shirt doesnāt help either disagree and disagree, see how it's not a perfect science? When the figure was shown, most people didnāt like the torso and thought it wasnāt anywhere near accurate. Now that the figure is out, Iām seeing some posts across social Media with people saying how it ādoesnāt look that badā and all that So, with that said, seems like the majority doesnāt like it and thinks itās wrong. Does that make the majority right? Not necessarily. But when the minority like it and have to defend their stance on it, kinda tells me all I need to know. But if you like it, cool. I think it looks horrible. So weāll just have to agree to disagree. |

The Ultimate Eddie torso looked awful in the beginning. I own the figure and it looks just as bad in person. Even with the shirt on.
