I was excited to find this set but when I opened it and put it next to my Elite HHH, not only is he taller, but he has a giraffe neck! It's a great figure but why the tall neck?

Maybe thats the reason, thats is originally made for suited.body.

Thanks a lot. I was so distracted by his week calves and boots I hadn't noticed his freakishly long neck.
Lately, there seems to be a lot of either too short or too long necks?

 After looking over my pic I'd have to agree about the long neck. I'm not too worried about it though cause I just bought it to head swap my Elite 23. Sucks for everyone that does collect basics though. |

@shockwayne I like your style homie. I bought ted so I can turn him into an elite. It'll be my first attempt at a custom.

The neck is obscured by how skinny his legs and arms are. I don't mind the torso nor the neck. Also, this is not the COO scan. Similar expression, but this one is more detailed. I haven't put them side by side but it could be a modification of a scan like elite 14 to elite 16 Cena. Not only did they change Tue hair on those figures, but the detail became more refined on elite 17 (and all subsequent figures with that head).

Maybe giraffe-neck Triple H can lend some to no-neck DM Ric Flair? It seems only fair...

I said that since the proto, but it fits perfectly on the e23 body.

maybe the head is not on all the way, heat it up, pull it off, and put it in, and try to push it in further

I did lower mine slightly by removing a little of the head's inner ring and then trimming the top half of the neck stems ball. The hair still isn't laying flush on his shoulders but it is now closer. |

For anyone who has the ss heritage taker, when I saw it in tru today I noticed the summer slam logo on the back was a sticker, what's underneath the sticker? I wanted to but it but the card looked like it had been stomped out and I'm a moc collector.

looking at this only for the Head swap myself. Going to put it on the DX flashback version and get me a red coat from the Jakks series.

Here's what I have done with an extra so far. I lowered his head as low as I could without losing mobility. I also gave him larger arms. Now he needs taller boots I have a pair of L1 Sarge's boots, but I'm looking for the right size calves to keep the height correct. And then maybe I'll repaint him in a metallic purple.  |

So we now have 2 Ted Dibiase basics and no Elite version yet. That HHH looks like it has chicken legs for some reason but the head scan is dope I wish that was the E23.
