yeh the shorts really hurt the look. I know he wears big trunks...he's a big boy. But he obviously doesn't wear shorts. It actually took me a minute to realize the figure had shorts. Just because I was staring at the Damien and Rock so much.   Its maddening that they do the awesome entrance gear.....and new hand mold....and then flub the trunks?? I'm sure they'll say its something to do w/ not having enough room for the paint app. But they could've made that stupid black section w/ the white japanese letter smaller. And they forgot the black trim around the leg too? |

Mattel's figure bodies aren't exactly designed for those kinds of trunks. i think what we have is fine.

I was hoping Mattel would start extending the trunks onto the hip joints to get away from that reverse wedgie look as PJ likes to say. If they're not going to paint the skintone (or mold the hips in skin colored plastic and paint the trunks), it kinda defeats the purpose.

is that where the thigh swivel begins? Its hard to tell? Or does it start at the end of the paint.
If the shorts part is just painted onto the top of the thigh....i can just pop it off and acetone it.

isn't PJ the one who swapped out the hip joints on the Iron Sheik that they did the same thing to?

The swivel's where the red ends. I guess the hips are molded in red plastic like the shorts on Kozlov's Elite.
I think PJ painted skintone onto Sheiky's shorts to make them look like trunks. Others I believe swapped out the thighs with Orton's.

Thats what i was thinking. It looks like the thigh swivel is at the end of the paint. Which if it was supposed to be shorts....they would've used a leg with molded shorts on the thigh.
But if u look at another big guy fig in shorts, like an elite Mark Henry. The thigh swivel is where that odd "cut/wrinkle" thing is going on by the hip joint.
It looks like he has 2 leg swivels on each thigh and they painted too far down. I would've been cool with the paint ending at the cut/wrinkle.

Doubtful to me as a fan that the money spent on a running change would be for an already obsolete outfit.

It just uses the same hips/upper thighs as the Henry figures, I think. The trunks being extended could be to cover for that, so the wrinkle wasn't on the skin... Or they could be because Tensai did wear slightly longer trunks/shorts than most guys.  |

^Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time-out from the discussion. Macho Man wrestled in New Japan? Against Liger? *heads to YouTube* i ran into that match a month or so ago...when I was researching some old Macho Man attires. I didn't know it happened either. So earlier when I was looking to change my sig, I wanted a pic of both of them from the match (cuz its awesome....and i figured alot of other ppl didn't know about it). Couldn't find a good one though. So i made a gif using a vid of the match from youtube |
