Honestly didn’t think I could do anything about it since I’m in the UK, I suppose I could contact Ringside and ask them. Thanks 👍 |

My Scott actually has two right feet. What a joke. It looks like your toe hinge is correct but the heel is wrong. If so, that's even worse than just an entire right foot... They KNEW it was wrong but put it together anyway. Blind leading the blind in Vietnam wow. |

This is a joke especially for a highly anticipated, premium, exclusive set

Did they use a different shade of red on his crotch? Yes. The crotch is a little darker than the singlet. |

Got both brothers  The skinny leg/arm mattel syndrome is really getting out of hand the steiner bros were thick. They did not have chicken legs... im glad mattel got their faces right but if i see this on andre the giant next...  There is nothing at all wrong with their legs. I understand complaining about the wrong figure coming but this is just nit picking a non issue. |

They did not have chicken legs... im glad mattel got their faces right but if i see this on andre the giant next... There is nothing at all wrong with their legs. I understand complaining about the wrong figure coming but this is just nit picking a non issue. There is zero definition in their legs. They were just thick. It is an issue. It is the skinny arm yokozuna issue. Attention to detail is important. Do these figures look bad? No, on the contrary. Its just that certain wrestlers dont look right otherwise. Luckily mattel got the legends andre right already but a future version coming from this new factory could screw it up. In general many figures lately have been given the skinny leg treatment compared to earlier mattel versions. Is it as big an issue as this vader in box issue? No, but the issues are adding up and especially with the legs which have become very fragile, breaking often. These little things are together making the sculpting team at mattel look bad. How do we know they even signed off on the skinny armed yokozuna. That is a big question and why perhaps the factory in vietnam is not following directions. Anyways we can point out these issues when we see them in advsnce or we can wait till every figure looks like they skipped leg day. Jakks had the legs right except for some guys llke rick rude who really did have chicken legs. Who would you rather have displayed? Anyways tomaetoes, TOmatos. All in the eye of the beholder i guess. I happen to want some realism from these 40-50 dollar figures. Its the same argument we can make about scaling and why that is important. That too is out of whack lately but never seems to get addressed. |

Mattel legs are too tall and are generally either too muscular or too skinny. They rarely use tights molds when appropriate.
Look at Nash, Taker, Kane elites. They're 2/3 legs

But you have to also understand there are a few types of collectors: - Those that understand quality and scale - Those that kiss bums no matter what - Those that keep them sealed and boxed and would not have a clue |

But you have to also understand there are a few types of collectors: - Those that understand quality and scale - Those that kiss bums no matter what - Those that keep them sealed and boxed and would not have a clue The latter is who mattel sells too so yeah not surprising it is an unpopular opinion to fix something they dont care to fix since the first group or as i call the old school "display your collection crowd", is dying off. I am still one of those. I have a huge collection and open up every figure. Sure i keep some boxed but i check out every figure and know the positives and negatives of it. Sure mattel doesnt cater to me anymore as you mentioned but they need to understand, that-and i say this often, when we stop buying from sultan_of_war_2 and guys like uncle paul, mattel will be out of the wwe business because we are loyal to our wallets first and foremost and none of us old school guys like to throw away money that is better spent on another action figure. Hell i could have finished 4 or 5 other collections if i hadnt overspent on wwe in the past 2 yrars since coming back to the hobby. Jakks was my baby before. So yeah totally get what you are saying but i would add a 4th group: -Those that know and who will no longer stay silent Which leads to the 5th group: -Those that dont like getting the runaround and move on |

This is 100% on Mattel and their non-existent QC More so meant that I imagine RSC is losing money on shipping and other avenues with so many returns and fixes needed. Highly doubt its on the going out of business level, that was more of a joke. |

Mine are due today - I'm keeping everything crossed that I get Rick and Scott and that they have no issues.
