After looking at the CS18 Rikishi, I can't help to realise that wrestlers with that size torsos have almost unbendable legs. Rikishi used to do super kicks [and with the mold probably means on CS18 Kishi can't lift his leg high enough]. He also used to split his legs after a Rikishi Driver, a thing the mold cannot do. If they plan on doing this, they might as well give him DA legs or something but for loose collectors, well it wouldn't really work if you do a pic fed or something.
Move this, I was unsure if this was the right place or not.

That's why Im sticking to my TTL. Its actually rather in proportion and the size diagonal movement of the TTL legs suits kish so much more.
CS18 Kish is good but flawed particularly with the leg movement as the back has some of the butt holding the legs down.
Also, we havent seen the back yet which makes me fear jakks did not paint his thong correctly.

Yeah, and he not THAT fat when he was at WWE, JAKKS make him looks more more more fattest than real life. That's terrible.

I never have really liked that torso except for on Yoko as it was perfect because he was that big

The TTL Rikishi is a perfect figure of him (and I hate nearly all TTLs) I got the TTL one from a bootfair for 10p in mint condition and got the accessories (shirt, 2 belts, stereo that plays his music, sunglasses) for a few pence aswell, it's now one of the best figures I have and is the only non RA or DA that I display apart from a few Divas, it fits in perfectly with my CS/RA collection and I knew the CS one could never come close. Having the Yoko torso fot the CS Rikishi is ridiculous but even with the Dusty or Umaga torso it wouldn't look nearly as good as the TTL version.

yeah his TTL figure was one of the best ones released the CS figure is HUGE! waaaaaay too fat i mean if wwe is pissed at him and told jakks to make his figure ridiculously out of proportion, then i could see it but didnt they LOOK at a picture of him before they chose the body?? he wasnt even that big when he was a headshrinker! they should have used the old umaga/wils samoans body at least plus they just re-used the TTL scan. he is definitley one of the most disappointing of the bunch

I think the Bam Bam mold would be sufficient.

I doubt they are realesing it like that they probably just threw it together so we had a Rikishi at the toy fair we still have 2 months until it realesed so they will probably use the umaga mold.

yeah Jakks should have used the bam bam mould or the new umaga torso.
i don't know what they were thinking giving him the yoko mould. totally moronic.

i wish they would have used the new umaga torso for him. i really need a rikishi, so i'll get him, but it's definitely not as good as it could have been.

Haven't you guys realized it's just a prototype. JAKKS changed Gorilla Monsoon and Dusty Rhodes, there is a chance that Rikishi will be changed also.

The mould was made FOR Yokozuna. It should NOT be used on Rikishi, and I expect when MOC images surface it won't. Rikishi was big, but not Yoko size...
