So to get a perfect IRS I need the following... -GH Legends IRS Head -Elite 40 IRS Torso & Arms -GH Legends Crotch -BAF Mr. Perfect legs So what Im saying is Mattel literally had ALL the parts needed to execute this.....and yet, didnt. #SpreadSheets But then you'd be stuck with the too short suspenders. Did GH get longer suspenders or a shorter torso? Are the suspenders different? I assumed the torsos were the same, the shoulder pegs for the arms would be the reason to keep the old torso..that way you had the proper sleeves |

Would you look at that
Glad to see people speaking up about it. Not much will change however. Jakks made a better irs imo. This is sadly the result of too much product and not enough adherence to some sort of standard. Maybe they are planning on shrinking every figure down to create a 5" line?

I assumed the torsos were the same, the shoulder pegs for the arms would be the reason to keep the old torso..that way you had the proper sleeves I'm not sure if the suspenders are new of it's a different torso, but the original ones were a pain in the ever loving rear to get to look good even heating. See how the belt is too high on the left even when the suspenders are pulled very tight, whereas the right looks relaxed and rests where it should |

Orndorff is another one who has glaring height issues with his figures, not sure if they're as bad as this though.

Is the torso different on the new one? Seems like it would be easier to put the old arms on the new one (or the new head on the old one) and attach the Mr. Perfect legs to avoid cracking a torso. |

I love Mattel, best wrestling figs of all-time imo, but ... yeah, this one REALLY annoyed me. Pointed it out in one of the facebook groups a few weeks ago. Drives me nuts. Mattel has said that the original one was too tall, but Rotunda is a BIG dude and the new one is wayyyyyyyyy too short. Same as the newest DiBiase elites (also wayyyyyyyy too short).

I havent tried it in awhile but I dont think the old arms & new arms interchange with each other's shoulder ball joints. Thats why I said to swap the torsos. Now if the old arms fit onto the new shoulder joints, no need to swap torsos. |

Maybe those original elites and legends will retain value after all, hey with releases like this it may drive them up even more 😂. F**k re-releases, oh and double jointed arms are a down grade anyways. The skinny or completely jacked arms they give everyone look terrible. Qc getting worse with scaling, big heads, stiff knees, ultimate legs snapping from drop down hips. It's now quantity over quality and it's showing the past 2 years. Mattel you had a good run

Swap the arms from the E40 figure too of course. |

I wish Mattel would just give us new arm molds. The concept of new shoulder and double jointed elbows are great, but every single guy in the line has the same damn arm mold. We used to have a variety. It’s like almost every other guy gets the ripped ultimate Warrior arms. this. and also nobody mentions the gorilla arms now. When they switched to double hinge elbows everyones arms are too long |

Those look like Bossman sleeves maybe? Corporate Mankind has torn sleeves on the DM and a fabric shirt on the Ultimate.
