OH...no! I can't believe they did it yet again! Why do they always make the protos right and still make the manager figures bigger than all other figures! We even saw MOC pics on here and it was right, although there was no printing inside the box so it still wasn't 100% positive that we were getting a proper Heenan figure at last. It seemed like I was one of the only people looking forward to that BB set, I love the Arn/Tully Horsemen set and with matching jackets and BB logos they are superb even if they are not much different, having that awesome Heenan with short legs would've made this a brilliant 3 pack and worth 3 CS spots IMO, but now it seems like a waste of one of the last 3 packs. I'll still try to get an extra Heenan like I always do to fixup. I can see why you've given up with Jakks' scale PJ but I'm still desperately trying to keep on top of it, it's not totally perfect but with a few DAs, Thunderlips shins and tall kickers for the noticeably tall wrestlers, the average RA for the 6'-6'6" average wrestler, then short kickers and tongued boots for the shorter wrestlers and Rey/Mick legs and Taz legs for managers my collection is all vaguely in scale, at least so that heights aren't round the wrong way if not exactly to scale. I was so looking forward to having such a cool Heenan in scale out of the box but I'm not really that surprised after all the previous times we've been screwed over. It should go against my beliefs but I'm SO glad that those ebay sellers steal and sell factory rejects, they've allowed me to get about 10 Heenans and loads of other managers cheaply to fixup, it would've cost me loads more to buy official ones every time. Hopefully they'll get a load of these Heenans soon.

People need to be VERY careful what they say when it comes to Heenan and should do their research far better.
The problem is NOT with Heenan - its the other figures and Jakks in general scale wise.
Of all the people moaning and complaining about his size have ANY of you EVER met Heenan?
The first thing I ever noticed when I met him is just how tall Heenan actualy is.
Heenan in real every day life is bigger than some well known wrestlers.
The short mould for Heenan would be 100% and WITHOUT QUESTION COMPLETELY wrong for him!!!
The short legs are fine for people like Tazz BUT NOT for Heenan.

Awesome loose pics too I have given up on Jakks' scale issues myself too. It just doesn't matter anymore. I like the purple on heenan and at least they put extra detail into Arn & Tully's jackets. Its not a bad 3 pack overall and I'm sure it will warm shelves like crazy! So I'll definitley be on the lookout for when it goes on clearance

The short legs are fine for people like Tazz BUT NOT for Heenan. Yes, Heenan was tall...somewhere around the 6'-6'1" range and I agree with you that the Tazz legs would look odd. Especially if they don't make a new jacket arm mold. (Tazz looked like a gorilla) But to say his figure is fine and the others are wrong is stretching it. Besides this set Heenan's figures have been bigger than all his wrestlers. Heenan should be around the same size as Arn & Flair yet his CS6 figure is taller. He should be shorter than Perfect, Rude & Studd (don't get me started on Studd's undersized figure) Yet Bobby's CS6 figure is taller than all I mentioned. And both the CS 3-Pack Heenan figures (BB & Heenan/Flair/Perfect) are taller than his CS6 figure. But I will say this new figure looks great with my DA Hennig, Flair, Tully & Rude figures. As for the Arn I wish he was thicker, but that's what happens when they use these jacket molds. And Tully should have had the tongued boots to make him shorter. And his head is still too large...Wishful thinking, but I was hoping they'd have rescaled it.

I'm more interested in the DC figures to be honest. Crap, series 3 came out just a few weeks ago.

So if they are releasing MOC pics for them now...I wonder how long until the wave actually show up at Wal-Mart? I'd guess they'll be showing up within the next month.

Heenan was taller than Andre. Don't you remember when Heenan slammed the Warrior? Or when he towered over Gorilla Monsoon? Oh you don't, neither do I.
