I been collecting Jakks RA and TTL figures since 2002 but I noticed with the newer RA releases they are making the head sculpts a bit larger than usual. Why is this? I compared the new RA 26 Cena and a earlier version and the head scale is much larger on the RA 26. Are they trying to make the RA scale similar to the DA's?
Also Mark Henry hasnt had a decent figure since BCA. When will Jakks make him right and use painted on gear as oppose to the cheap cotton wrestling attire he has?

I never really noticed what you picked up on there. Im not sure why they are scaling heads. You might be right, they may be intended for use on DA's too.
I also agree with Mark Henry. He really needs a new scan with his actual hair. Also, jakks didnt do a fig with painted on gear. It was in (i think) the trios pack with Daivari and Angle.

Yeah, the RA heads are getting to be like those EGGS from Toy Fair.

No I meant that Mark Henrys figure features cloth material for his one piece wrestling suit. It would be better off painted like Andre and Big Shows attires. And although they have been making the heads larger they are doing a better job making the body's look natural to the superstars.
I think they should stop making some of the wrestlers ultra buffed like Shawn Micheals for example. Even Triple H has lost some muscle over the past months since that steroid scandle thing has been going on. Oh and I noticed on the back of one of the RA boxes I recently got Chris Benoits figure has been stamped over by the WWE logo.

yeah increasing head size or "balloon heads" as we call them here are annoying, but there's nothing much we can do about it. I brought the subject up in a Q&A session once, but the Jakks guys just said "increasing head size? you must be looking at prototypes, they shrink in production" actually no... I was talking about production figures... and yes they do shrink sometimes from the protos, but not always... BOECW Rhyno anyone? Jakks are  ing blind... i even made this comparison picture to try to get the problem noticed, emailed it to Jakks... no reply... and we're still seeing balloon heads on some figures...  |
