So I found Ultimate Yokozuna earlier this week and during my review I made it abundantly clear how sad I was about his tiny Uso arm choice (I realized later they aren't Uso arms they are a smidgen bigger nothing drastic... So I was scouting trying to find better arms and I came across elite 108 Bronson Reed. I would like to use the elite 90 that I had planned on replacing but Mattel made his elbows casted in black so that wouldn't work so I got my elite 108 Bronson in today from the mail and this is the results. http://instagram.com/p/C5sWT6fO-Ss

Good upgrade, some of the bigger guys do have arms thick as treetrunks (whether it's fat or muscle or both) and their figure arms should reflect this

I would say that’s at the absolute top of the list of things Mattel should work on. It’s most times just super improportional. You have a 500lb guy here with twig arms it just doesn’t make sense. Another example are those Ringside Foleys. The arms are so jacked. It’s bewildering but could easily be corrected! Just needs to be brought to attention enough.

Those arms were way too smsll. Heck even his body could use more fillin. Surprised to see mattel get this one wrong. Jakks did a great yokozuna. Ill just keep using that on my displays.

Side note but I still think the bearded Yoko head Mattel did a few years back is still his best likeness

yeah mattel could really do everyone a favor and do a little additional tooling to the body sculpts.
i watch MDT alot and he makes a great comment how mattel needs a 'thicc guy' arm mold. guys like Paul bearer and Yoko have these spindly twiggy arms but they they were big. arms dont need to be jakked with definition but just thicc-er. the mankind defining moments figure was too jakked up in the arms.

I kind of miss all the arm molds we had in the elite line. The new upgraded ones either have the Lex Luger or the small Van Dam styled arms. We used to have a lot of in between molds. We need new molds. One of my gripes is how massive some of these arms look on some torsos, take the Legends Triple H or the new Monday Night Wars DDP. Those arms just look way too out of proportion with the torso selections. Hope Mattel fixes this at some point.
