I would be curious to see how Bubba's legs would look on Captain Lou's torso. It seems like it would be stocky enough to get Bubba closer to 6 ft than 7 I hope it was a factory error as opposed to designer choice because WTF is going on if the latter was the situation... It's way past a factory error for it to be that and they aren't like say the MNW DDP with the Austin torso which has come from a production run with multiple figures in a wave where errors are more likely to occur. This was 100% a design choice and I'm fully expecting a cop out response from Bill or more likely - no response at all. Mattel rarely steps up to the plate at times like this. If anything is even said it'll be something passive aggressive towards the consumers. |

 They both need to be shorter. Bubba does tower over D-Von in real life. I think that’s what probably led to the issue with Bubba’s figure. Because they made D-von too tall, in order to make Bubba accurately taller than him, they had to make him as tall as Kane. Very unfortunate. |

Someone brought up the scaling issue, along with OTHER issues in thee Ask Steve thread...Steve deflec-I mean "Addressed" this by kind of scolding the questioner for not putting the different issues in their own "Threads" so the Mattel team could igno-I mean "Address" them there.

to be honest im typically a guy that would usually vote that id rather have an accurate looking attire than worry about height or scale issues........but this is too much its like if they made Jushin Liger as tall as kane. like why the Andre the Giant torso thats just pure silliness.

Sounds like there needs to be a 'QA/QC issues' thread and we can load that thread up with issues so that it's easy for Mattel to come to one thread and learn of all the issues. I mean, you'd think they'd have some sort of QA checks and balances to catch issues and not have to soley rely on consumer feedback, but I digress. |

If Bubba had the japanese origin he would have gotten the newly made body and atleast 2 heads. I'm glad someone else has noticed that. Looking at the perfection that is every Japanese figure they make. Shinsuke has never had to share a torso with another figure ever in 10+ years. |

I have to be that guy...Is anyone else concerned about the upcoming Steiner 2-pack now? Same here, I’m worried they’ll be way too tall. Not having the singlet shorts molded isn’t a good sign and the legs are really ripped. They’ve been my top wants since Jakks started the classic line. I’ve wanted these Dudleys for sooo long. I’m happy to have them in the collection but I’d be lying if I said I’m happy with how they turned out. Tbh it seems like a lot of legends are an afterthought when it comes to design. |

Why does Mattel need a random QC thread on this board when all you need is a pair of functioning eyes when designing them in the first place? Nonsense.

As mine has a super long neck ball peg and I thought it was the same across the board? |

I got an extra Captain Lou for fodder, I wanted the sneakers for another wrestler. This is brilliant. Legs are a shade wide, but, hey, better than too freakin' tall. Good thing I got a couple extra Lous in fodder... thank you so much for this fix idea. =D |

Damn now I need a Lou Albano figure finally. I am actually kinda happy that the legs sit a smidge wide so he can perform the Bubba Bomb or whatever tf its called. Hate when they make the bigger guys with molds that prevent them from being able to sit on their own asses like they did Samoa Joe.
