Keep it real, or keep em toys

These figures are primarily toys. If it does not detract from the playability I am in favor of more details.

i love the new, improved parts by jakks. of course it's inch by inch though...case in point the rey torso, buddy roberts leg mold and new tazz short dress pants legs...jakks will keep these new great looking molds on the shelf for months when it could be used on so many wrestlers..then they'll maybe dust it off for some internet exclusive somewhere down the road...and with the new short leg mold, it's great but now they have to play catchup with a new short arm mold which itself will take forever...of course, sculpting both all at once is out of the question i guess....so as much as i love the new realistic looking parts, i mean, what the hell? why even bother if they're only used twice every three years?

None of their stuff is really that cartoony, it's all supposed to look accurate but the over use of inappropriate molds can make the figures look a bit cartoony because their body parts are out of scale with each other and some parts are too big and muscular. The ankles and feet are usually too big but that does help with stability, I have no idea why most of the figures have such huge thighs, it suits some figures but I cannot understand why cruiser weights like Nunzio don't get the same legs as Buddy Roberts, they would suit Nunzio perfectly, with the thunder thighs he doesn't look like Nunzio. I think if Jakks keeps introducing new molds like they have recently then it would improve the whole line infinitely and it's not alot to ask for them to make at least one new mold every series, then before long there wouldn't have to be so many major inaccuracies in the figures. Of course they need to use the molds when they have them, the short legs on Rey and Mick from Rocky are totally perfect when you put them on a manager figure but Jakks still makes Jimmy Hart the size of Andre the Giant by using the wrong mold, I really hope that the ECW3 Tazz isn't the only figure to ever get those short legs, alot of people are complaining for some strange reason when it's just the arms that are the problem now, it will add so much to a display if the managers are the corect height and maybe one day Jakks will shorten the arms too.

As long as being ultra-detailed doesn't adversely effect the playability of the standard figure, I'm all for making stuff look as realistic as possible.
