Those tiny arms on the Paul Bearers look atrocious. They go through making a whole new body mold just to slap the same old skinny arms on… Does Mattel not realize that fat people have fat arms?

I think they are ok, it's the shoes I have an issue with, but you know Fat People's arms stay the same length!   |

When I said I wanted Mattel Creations figure multi-packs this wasn't what I was expecting they'd start with. That's gonna be a HARD sell. I mean, I'd love the figures, but dang that's gonna be a fortune to drop all at once on a midcard faction, and you know the secondary prices will be insane. Also, like said, with the way that WWE is, I can see at least two or three of them getting released before the figures even ship. Even for a made to order set, that feels really risky and I hope potentially poor sales of this set don't ruin the idea going forward.
That bearer is perfect except for the arms. I don't know if it's because of the difficulties with articulation, but we are in desperate need of a set of fat suited arms. Heyman needed them and Bearer needs them too. It just looks really weird without arms that match his corpulence.
Glad Tiffany is getting a figure. I can deal with the basic for her. And seeing Ludvig as the chase is great. But I agree with the comments that it's taken an awfully long time to get anyone in Imperium beyond Gunther and we're still only 2/3. Really hate that the turnaround time on these things feels like it takes forever.
Jimmy still feels off to me and everyone I've shown the figure to outside the collecting community (who watches every week) says the same. I'm thinking it's the paint apps on the face maybe? Or potentially the hair. Something just isn't right, but at least he doesn't have bangs anymore!
I'm still getting all of E106. I can handle the skinny Usos torsos, their shirts are staying on anyway. And Roxanne is fine enough for me. I still hate almost everything about that Sami though, but the inclusion of the shirt is awesome. Which brings me to.
That. Sami. Basic.
My god.
Ok, so, full disclosure. I've been losing my mind for the past two hours. That is hands down one of the best Sami figures we've ever gotten. And it's a *basic*. The only thing that keeps it from being perfection is a couple of the paint apps on the legs. But finally, FINALLY, after how freaking long, we have a Sami Zayn that reflects his new body type. Not only did they lose the cargo pants and give him his own mold for his joggers, but they gave him what looks like a unique torso mold as well that's got some huskiness to it! And we're actually getting the PWG Logo!!!! I could cry I'm so happy with this figure. Absolutely gorgeous, someone has been reading my Christmas wish list. I hope I can buy at least five of them because you can instantly make four additional looks from that one figure just by adding cloth shirts or painting over the existing one.
That Sami figure made my damn WEEK.
I don't know how I'm expected to wait until next year to get my hands on it.
And, frankly? If them not making the Honorary Uce figure yet is because they wanted to tool and try out this new body type/size first, then I'm so sorry Mattel for everything I ever said, all is forgiven, if you make an Honorary Uce figure in this size, I will personally send you a box of cookies. Please, I didn't know we could have such nice things, he's beautiful, thank you kind sirs, I love you.
Oh, and before anyone asks why I'm losing my mind over this, just know.
I am a woman of unusual size. Yesterday I had a whole ranting conversation with someone about how frustrating it is that Mattel consistently gives people who have soft bodies super defined abs or people who are husky get the cruiserweight torso. We commiserated that it's feels kind of gross how unless you are specifically defined as "Fat" like KO or Otis, you're stuck looking like Daniel Bryan or John Cena. This is the biggest step in the right direction as far as that goes, I genuinely never thought we would get a Sami who looked like his actual weight (vs his billed weight) and yeah. Over the moon about this one for many many reasons.
All in all, I loved today's reveals and can't wait to get them in hand.

Omg they finally make a bigger size Bearer, in both gimmicks , and you’re complaining about his arms not being fat. It’s a great figure

people who hate on Sam Roberts really annoy me. Dude is doing better than all of us, and he's as big of a fan of the WWE as there is. Plus I enjoy the hell out of his show with Jim Norton. Apparently you don't understand the point of these videos. They aren't made for the internet hardcore informed collector. They are ADVERTISING meant for children, parents, casuals, etc to get more eyes on the toys. They aren't for the people who sat through every single second of the comic con reveals. So of COURSE he's not gonna be like "oh here's the 478th Brock Lesnar basic figure" Video was fine, I love seeing other wrestlers who are fans/collectors going over new products. Nice to see final protos of some upcoming sets and the LWO pack is a great idea. We get it. He’s just annoying. |

They had first ever WM38 attire Rollins ready for the WM40 basic series but cancelled this set. I still have high hopes for this and other figures that were planned for this set. |

I have no need for an Ali ultimate but I would have loved the basic |

I have no need for an Ali ultimate but I would have loved the basic I asked Steve about potential further plans for these figures and don't have a reply yet. There are many rumours that the Ali figure was the reason for the cancellation of this set. Maybe they will repack the remaining figures and relase the Ali figure later. |

Paul's arms are fine and proportionate. Fingertips on average human proportions should reach the mid thigh. Looks at him next to Gable, his width is causing them to look shorter.  |

It's because they didn't design the suit sleeves right. The length and width is fine. They obviously just took another figure's arms for this.
