While Dibiase's height may have been slightly worked. That 2-3 inch difference a year ago could also be his age and injurys. After 40 people typically lose about half an inch every 10 years or so. Ted's currently 70 and has had spinal fusion surgery which I believe can also mess with height a bit. Just look at Hulk. Hogan used to be a legit 6'6", now he's about 6'4" at best. I was replying to the guy saying he’s a huge guy, which back then I’m sure he was, but the way I read it was he was talking about now, I was just saying he’s definitely not 6’3 now and he’s not a big guy now, of course you’ll lose muscle mass and height when you get older I met DiBiase 5 years ago and I thought he was enormous in person. And I meet wrestlers all the time. They even talk about it on the major pod all the time that he's surprisingly huge/his recent elites have been far too tiny. IRS being that much shorter than his first release absolutely makes me second guess if I want the new one, which I was 100 percent planning on getting originally. |

Yeah idk, I’m 6’3 and he was just significantly smaller than I was, that’s all I’m going off of. But if you look at pictures Dibiase looks taller than IRS, but yet people will say IRS is huge in person. |

Totally agree that he is no longer 6'3" today. I just got to meet him at the Mania Wrestlecon in April and yeah, he surely got smaller. I guess the easy solution here is to just put that alternate old man ted head on the shorter figures and boom, heights are corrected. If I had to guess I would say Dibiase would have been 6’3ish back in the 90s and IRS was around that, if you look at pictures, Dibiase looks taller than IRS and both are taller than Vince McMahon and I think McMahon was listed at 6’1 or 6’2. |

No idea why they would have his billed height as shorter than he actually was. Isn't it usually the other way around? I know Andre was billed as like 7'4" but was really 7'1" or something like that. |

I'm around 6'1", and when I met DiBiase back in 2017, I'd have put him around an inch and change taller than me. It's hard to say in the pic I have with him cause we both kinda have terrible posture, but just my observation.

Same Target I saw the sets at before again seemingly put out a single set. I caught it with Booker this time. Hit another Target that only had Booker and Tugboat, then another that had been cleaned out.

Buddy of mine who found them did a leg swap between Perfect BAF & IRS. Helped add a tiny bit of height but not overly too tall either.

These weren't listed as in-store pickup and I checked the only Target near me tonight and they're still hocking the previous Legends series.

I’m 6’ even, and in my pic with DiBiase from 2016, I’d say he’s roughly 2” taller than me. I’ve only met IRS while he was sitting down.
I’m not too bothered by exact scale, shorter than Hogan and taller than Jimmy Hart is more than good enough for me.

Saw another whole set. Grabbed Warrior & IRS to complete it as I already found the others & I snagged another King Booker as I can dig having multiples.

The Target closest to my home surprisingly got a restock of this series. That's a good sign.

I've been sent on some wild goose chases looking for these only to find that out after the fact. |
