Ultimate Stone Cold uses skinny body molds! (even Elites)
My dude drinks beer and is just a husky guy. He has thick thighs, body and his biceps are always bulging. I just think Mattel needs to use bigger body molds (not Eddie Guerrero big though. Those Lats 😳).
With all the Ultimates (even Elite) released, which body molds do you think would be best used to build Stone Cold up?

That’s why I never understood why they keep giving Austin those chicken legs and small arms. A lot of us have given him the Cody legs and bigger arms. He looks way much better. RVD also needs THICKER LEGS. Dude had tree trunk legs and again we keep getting those cheap painted on chicken legs. I’m still not sure how people think Van Dam is proportional, his torso looks odd with the leg choice. Mattel at times has this problem where they’ll either give someone a small torso with big legs, big torso with chicken legs or gorilla/baboon arms. I wish we had more consistency when there are parts available that work.

A lot of Mattel's are too skinny, always have been
they made the Tommy Dreamer basic the size of rey mysterio, Finlay's lone elite figure has a cruiserweight torso
its just cheaper/less plastic and "close enough"

Austin definitely needs bigger legs. I remember seeing him live as a kid from the front rows back in the Stunning Steve and Lady Blossom days and thinking “damn, that dude’s calves are as thick as my waist!”

These are some of the greatest superstars in the history of the business which deserve their own molds and now doubt Austin needs his own unique body mold and bigger thighs. Also Undertaker and Kane need to also have unique body molds since the elites are too skinny.

I think the Magnum TA figure would make for an excellent Austin, but it might have been a little too short.

The torso’s (UE & Elite) are fine he just needs thicker limbs. The funny thing is his basics until this new 2-Pack always got the Triple H arms.
As for making the UE thicker they should give him the UE Triple H arms and the UE Rock’s thighs.
Elites I have given mine the size arms they started giving Ziggler after E15. They are the size of the Triple H arms but without the dorsal fin tricep. While I haven’t swapped his legs because they are the ratchet design the thighs I would use are the ones given to Magnum.

Not everyone will get unique body molds. No mass retail company has ever given every figure their own unique body mold. As it is Mattel has more body parts than Jakks ever had with their RA/DA figures. Are certain characters like Mr Perfect, Undertaker and Kane suffering from skinny torso? There’s No question about it they are. Do wrestlers such as Austin and Arn Anderson suffering from thin limbs? Yup they are. Do I hope when they do a Steiner Brothers era set they have newly sculpted larger torsos with the Bushwackers singlet cut to them? I do and maybe they use the one from the WCW stage figure for the UE. But for Elite styled versions I am fully expecting them to use the same one used on the E104 Rick.

I've been annoyed by Austin's part selection for years. It's just a spreadsheet joke at this point.
Austin had a thick, boxy torso in his prime. Not a v-taper into a small waist. They will hopefully be making Austin figures for years, I think it's worth the investment for a more accurate torso and crotch piece. They have the needed arms and legs now, they just rarely use them.
The latest Elite Gunther torso has a decent square look to it from the front, but the profile is a little too narrow.

For arguably the biggest superstar in the history or wrestling, he is way under represented in the UE line and the one we did get makes him look like an NBA player.

Just give him bigger arms and thick, meaty thighs.

Another example of Mattel having the opportunity to correct a mistake, and unsurprisingly they didn’t.

His skinny legs bother me the most tbh I honestly feel like the torso isn't too bad. It's just the arms that need to be bigger and the legs need to be updated to the Cody legs. I wish I had a picture of my fixup. I also love the last straight faced scan Mattel gave us for Austin. Only problem is it's out of scale and looks comically huge. |

Some of the superstars that you would think would have parts that had tons of reuse never got them.
Stone Cold's skinny legs are ridiculous. As stated, so are RVD's. Undertaker has no business being a cruiserweight. Roman has never been that stacked. KO's arms are far too muscular. Time and time again, they will go out of their way to make the most detailed one-off torsos and body parts for a figure, especially the women's figures, but limb and torso sizes for the men just get no love at all. With as much as they could reuse some of the corrected parts, you would think it would make sense to do so. After all, all KO Elites would use the same arms, All Roman Elites would use the same torsos, and upgrading Stone Cold's legs, those could be used lots of places.
I just don't understand why they don't do it.
