Poor lil Kevin  How does this even happen? Do they not check the figures before release? Don't they have quality control? Maybe they blew off his kneecaps like Cotton Hill |

Poor lil Kevin How does this even happen? Do they not check the figures before release? Don't they have quality control? I bet most likely what happens is that certain figures are used for height reference. However each figure is not in scale with the tallest and smallest wreslers. Why because they still dont have a giant gonzalez to compare hornswoggle. The easiest/most obvious fix to this is to create (for the design team) a mock up of giant gonzalez and hornswiggle. Then decide on what the height of a 5,6 and 7 footer will look like in comparidon to the 2. Then you decide on the in between sizes 5.5, 6.6, 7.7 and then put those figures in between the 6, and 8 foot figures. And you can continue that process until you have every height covered. For whatever reason they are not doing that. Jakks got that wrong a lot too. Considering that we are 10 yrars in the line, the only true fix to this now is to recreate every character again with the new face sculpts and include every look they every had. (not possible for ultimate warrior/macho man unless you sell them as a 500$ ultimate edition lol.) So we know thats never going to happen as they want to make hogan figures for another 50 years so we will have to get them slowly one at a time but they have to want (with us pushing them) to do it AND the same wrestlers need to still be signed with them. In short, we may never get corrected versions of certain wrestlers so we have to customize themselves. Believe me it could be worse. Jakks was absolutely terrible with heights. |

“Design” strikes again. Jesus wept that height error is embarrassing. They need to do a running change pronto. I’ve seen people saying they have fixed it with a boot swap but even then it’s way off. He’s like a rumbler lol.

Have all Kevin Owens figures been this short, and we're just noticing because of the figures he's next too? But if not, then why is this Owens figure so far off from the others? Not only does he look short, but he doesn't look the right width either. |

So i just stood my UE KO next to the SS one in red, and unless im somehow goofing it up, they seem to pretty much be the same size. Is Sami just tall?

Aren't UE Wrestlemania 6 Ultimate Warrior and UE Cowboy Macho really short, too? I know Cowboy Macho is shorter than reg elites, and I saw pics of Warrior, which is why I passed on it.

I also have him standing next to the Logan Paul elite (top picks) on my shelf and Logan is BARELY taller. He’s 2 inches taller in real life….i think Mattel doesn’t really know what it’s doing with heights as it seems all over the place most of the time. I may be in the minority but I like the Owen’s figure and I’m perfectly happy with it Didn’t get Sami because I had just gotten the recent elite. |

I’ll wait until I have them in hand before making a big deal about them.

To everyone screaming about how short the KO is, I'm going to point this out AGAIN.
Ultimate Edition KO is short, yes, but compared to his Elite 101, the height difference is only about a millimeter and a half at MOST. Maybe two. He's shorter than the KO Elites, but not by an extreme margin.
The thing is that all of the recent Sami and Kevin figures appear to keep getting scaled against each other or something, but they're scaling to the wrong ones.
UE Kevin is in the proper scale with Basic 145 Sami.
UE Sami is in the proper scale with Elite 101 Kevin.
The issue is that Basic 145 Sami and Elite 101 Kevin are NOT in scale with each other and, in fact, the Basic Sami is SHORTER than the Elite Kevin.
So it isn't only that UE Kevin is too short, UE Sami is also too tall. More than likely, if the UE figure had updated legs like the Basic did, Sami and Kevin would at least be in scale with each other.

 This is the best photo I could get of the comparison. Unfortunately, my Elite 101 Kevin has messed up knees and ankles and I can only get him to stand up properly with a slight crouch. But I can confirm he's a hair taller than the UE Kevin when standing upright on a stand. As you can see, the UE Kevin scales with the basic, while the UE Sami scales with the elite (if the Elite was standing fully upright). So as far as the UE Kevin being so short, i'd really have to guess that when they were making the new torso for him, they tried to make him in scale with the only extant Wrestlemania (ish) Sami model they had completed, and then they went and used the old style of legs/boots from the Elite Sami's anyway, and it made the problem a million times worse in comparison. ETA: I just noticed E101 Kevin's head isn't on the whole way in that photo. I fixed it but it doesn't make a ton of difference in the scaling I can show due to his legs being weird. If anything, the head being slightly off gives a closer impression of his true height. Really hate the legs on that E101. He won't stand up straight to save his life. |

I heard that "someone" on the design team found out about Muta's rights in the middle of designing this KO figure. He had some intern from the Little People's line finish it up while he started working on Muta.

 I cannot stress enough how not a single ONE of these figures is in scale with each other. It is not just Kevin |
