Is it just me, or the Elite Scott Steiner looks a bit off?
The Elite Rick Steiner looks perfect with the head scan and details on the attire. Scott, doesn't look as good.

Other than the attire choice (which isn’t bad) I think he looks great. To me he’s a figure of the year candidate. As is Rick even with him missing the dog face gremlin tattoo.

I think he’s too tall but other than that it’s fine imo

The Rick Steiner figure is awesome. I passed on the Scott until we get a better attire

I recently got one from a friend who grabbed me one. Hes tall and skinny. Something i never saw when describing scott. He needs thicker shorter legs and the proportions would be better in my opinion

The scan looks like him but isn’t the best … his head is also way to tiny …
The rick is perfect , one of the best elites ever

I think the headscan can definitely be improved on. Calling it a possible figure of the year is a bit of a stretch in my opinion.
Also as soon as I saw the chainmail choice I hated it. It looks cheap, the color is dull and it sits on the head too high.
If Scotty ever gets a UE (which I'm sure they are saving his white singlet nWo attire for) I hope they give him an actual chainmail headpiece. They were able to include actual chain with JYD so maybe it's possible.

I haven’t really paid attention to it. As soon as I saw it was RA Pump I knew I’d be passing on it.

I loved the way Jakks made theirs for the TNA Scotty. It's crazy, but there are times when I think that Jakks made better accessories than Mattel. Hogan's weightbelt comes to mind, Sting's bat, their tall breakable ladders, steel chairs... I think the head on this Scotty also looks a tad too small, but what I'm afraid of is that when we do get a biker trunks or white singlet Scotty he'll have those cheap ass painted on legs and wrong mid sized boots. With Rick Steiner, I liked the figure, but in all actually I don't think it's impressive. My biggest gripe being that the body type looks nothing like Rick. In what world, do Rick Steiner, Bron Breakker and Ultimate Warrior have the same physique? The ripped singlet works for Breakker, but Rick was a barrel chested/thick dude. The same issue I also had with Mattel not giving us molded details applied to Rick. He has those cheap painted on biker trunks, wrong height and wrong soul patch color. Honestly, I wish that attire was an Ultimate because that jacket was unique. |

I think they should just remold it. For a first time in the line, Scotty should have all the works. We've waited long for his figures. I prefer the Jakks chainmail, but I think it wouldn't scale right with Mattel  |

I feel like we’ve been gradually conditioned to expect less and less with Elites and only expect quality with Ultimates.
Should be no excuse for that headgear to not look far better than it does, it’s an extremely casual and cheap attempt and I think we should expect better at elite level pricing. A pretty plain figure, feels like they’re suggesting the new biceps (?) is enough for us to be happy with?

The chainmail already exists. HHH has multiple figures with it.

The lack of sculpted tights, the incorrect medium boots, the ill-fitting, poorly detailed chainmail - there’s a lot of room for improvement

That chainmail uses on the TNA Cross the Line Scotty was plastic but at least aesthetically speaking it was much closer to real chainmail. And yes the torso choice for Rick is way too skinny. The dude was thick and solid not ripped and lean. |

I think the reason Scott looks too tall is because for this era Scott he wore tall boots not the medium sized boots they gave him. So because of that his calves/legs look longer. But I don’t think he looks out of place on the shelf next to other wrestlers.

I think Scott is fine, if not maybe a tad shorter but it's not Jakks' scale.
A lil wash can help with the chain mail.
He has not been released in a premium line yet, he has had new mold specifically for his elite and possible budgets had to be in line so that's why the leg choices are what they are. Idk I'm assuming here.
I would make a better judgement when he's released in a premium line.
