Hasbro Billy Gunn

[billyboytoobs]

Just going through my loose collection when I noticed something I've never noticed before, Billy Gunn's head is about 2 sizes to big for his body. I understand that there were cut-backs but surely there was a better body to use than Jake's body so it was more to scale or make sure the head was abit smaller in the first place. Anyone else ever noticed anything similar? Or know why this body was used?

Thanks

I doubt there was much thought put into it. Probably just what they had available. How else do you explain Bart in a vest, and Billy without?

Easy: Bart is in entrance gear, Billy is in ring gear. They weren't packed as a team, so no problem.

Hasbro made used some questionable parts for the later figures. Like using demolition legs on rick steiner

I didn't like this either, so I got a second of each and swapped the heads. Now have 2 sets - 1 in ring gear and 1 in entrance gear.... Not!!! Bazinga!!!

That always bothered me about that figure too. They could have used Macho King's legs if they were doing that action. And the singlet just painted on sucks too, I know in the renderings he was to have Neidhart's upper body from the Hart Foundation figure that was never released. I suppose they never made that particular mold because Neidhart's figure was changed. It's weird though that they would be doing art for Rick Stiener even before Anvil was changed to his New Foundation gear.
