The scale issue

[madd2k]

Everybody wants Mattel to keep the RA scale. Do you know what, I don't really care that much of the RA scale, I'd rather have the RIGHT SCALE thinking of proportions between the wrestlers, no matter if in 3 3/4, 5 or 6inch!

And this is the time I think of Marvel Toys: I love their Cruiserweight Figures because they don't have bodies that look like steroid hulks and they'r not the same height like the Heavyweights (thinkin' of Sharkboy, one of my very favorite TNA Figs :.

So what would you choose, if you had the chance? RA scale or right proportions?

Realistic looking figures. If they could be under 7 inches I'd be happy also. I really just hope things turn out good because if not were just all screwed.

I think they should be about 1/12. I think if they are over 6 1/2 ft. they could be 7 inch figures. Such as Kane, Undertaker, Khali, and Big Show. If they are under 6 and 1/2 ft. maybe make them 6 inches. If they are about 6 1/2 ft. make them 6 1/2 inches.

I want them to have big arms. I just don't want them to be super huge. I think they should make cruiserweight(Regal), women, Big Women(Beth Phoenix), some what muscular(which would be in between cruiserweight and what they use on Cena figures for guys like Edge), and Huge which what they use for most figures for guys like Batista. Don't use the ones as muscular as the DA except for modern day Scott Steiner and maybe Hulk Hogan that's it.

I also want them to make mostly cruiserweight Torso. Make a slightly ripped where as 6 pack is slightly visible for guys like HBK. Also make a ripped like what they use for most guys for Batista and Scott Steiner.

I think they should also make special molds for guys like BDV and Yokozuna aswell as guys like Big Show and Umaga.

I see it as kind of one and the same. Jakks proportions although not perfect are not that far off. So you can keep it in size scale and still perfect the proportions and have figures look to be of similar styles. My best example of what I am trying to explain is TNA's Samoa Joe and AJ Styles two pack. It fits the scale of RA, but has slightly more accurate proportions, yet you can easily pose them with your RAs without them looking ridiculous. PJ posted a pic of a DC Universe Batman vs. a Marvel Legends Punisher which also exhibits my point.

well yes that idea of guys in scale with each other is impooratnant but i would like for the average figure hight of a 6foot wrestler to be the same size of an RA fig.

WHAT A STUPID POLL! LOL! Neither option relates to the other, it could be both. The scale between wrestlers is a budget issue and how many new molds Mattel want to make, I'm sure they'll be better than Jakks because they'll probably realise that they can sell more figures by having big guys and little guys with accurate bodies rather than if all the figures look nearly identical.
The scale to RAs just depends on where Mattel starts, they can choose to use the same scale to keep the existing market or they can start again with a new scale and have to attract a whole new load of collectors. It has nothing to do with whether their figures are in scale with each other, you should have an option for both otherwise it'd pointless because everyone wants the figures in scale with each other and all RA collectors want them in scale with RAs.

I would rather see 6" as the common denominator, with difference by scale. Someone who is 6'2" would be 6", 5'6" - 5.5", 7' - 7", etc.

I would probably say proprtions. Its actually a ridiculous question too. In proportion means it would be scaled right which is the opposing option.

[zombiesx]

RIGHT PROPORTIONS!

It's so stupid to look at a Randy Orton fig and a Reyrey and being the same height.

[The Dude]

The right proportions. They should have a scale of 5.5" to 7"

Guys like Rey and Spike (for ex.) can be 5.5"
Paul London, Jericho, etc. could be 6"
Orton, JBL, Rock, etc. could be 6.5"
Kane, Undertaker, Big Show could be 7"
Khali would have a special 7.4" mold
Giant Gonzalez if they made him would have to be 8"

I agree with this. I don't buy RAs but it bothers me how Rey is very close to the same height as the taller figures. If the scale between wrestlers is better when Mattel take over, I might start collecting on the ground floor.
