It is just me, or is anyone else think that most of the women's figures (since around Elite 72) are too small? The scale seemed fine the first few years of Mattel, but they changed the scale for some reason. It's like they are going off of Rey Mysterio's figures for height comparisons now (he was scaled too short IMO). They seem like children when displayed against most male figures & older Mattel women's figures. Rhea Ripley looks like a teenager when standing next to Dom or Bianca next to Montez. I don't know why they changed something that was fine already. Jazwares, I think, does a little better with their women's figure scale when all displayed together. I'm afraid Katana Chance's figure will go up to Braun Strouman's knees. Is there anyone one else a little frustrated with this?

Yes, the women were scaled smaller than the men from the “Divas” era and it’s never been fixed. I mean they’d have to just start over with them so I understand. But they had chances…

My kids are tired of Bianca being so small, when she’s one of the more muscular women on the roster.

I kinda like the newer scale tbh. I feel like the early diva era figures were all too bulky and clunky looking. I will say women like Bianca should definitely be getting bigger arms, a torso with abs, thicker legs etc. Other than some odd part choices I've been enjoying the more unique proportions of these newer elite women. I wish they'd go back and redo some of the diva era figures to this new scale but we all know they'll never do that.
Height on the other hand is definitely an issue. I can't speak to how they stack up to the men because I don't collect male wrestlers. The Ultimate Edition Asuka is the same height as Dakota even tho they are 3 inches apart in real life. All of Carmellas figures are Charolette Flair height when she's only 5'5". Scarlett's elite is absurdly tall even if she is in heels. She's in heels on TV and still way shorter.

The scale for women's figures is all over the place.
Becky Lynch as The Man was pretty much where the new scale started... but I swear even her figures are all over the place. Her ultimate is TINY compared to the rest of the horsewomen, and much shorter than any of her elites, even after the scale change.
Many of the women before the scale change were absurdly tall against other women. Lana/CJ Perry is only 5'7" but she was sized like she was 6 foot tall. Same with the Renee Young Abomination. Far too tall.
But then you have figures like the new Katana Chance figure that, against the men's figures, looks only 4 and a half foot tall. I know she's short, but she's not THAT short.
So really, the women's figures were wildly out of scale before the change, and they're wildly out of scale after. But then, so are the men's figures half the time.
Honestly?
Scale has never been Mattel's strong suit.
