Maybe its wwe's fault so many of our figures are over muscular and out of place looking.. please.. read on.. WWE obviously dont want jakks releasing Kane as the regular every day human being that he is in the Unmatched Fury line. Check this out, UF Kane:  this is real Kane:  See the torso resemblance? NO?! Good.. neither do i.. however... This is UF Kane: This is photoshopped WWE kane:  Hmm.. This is obviously why so many figures are inaccurate. Jakks must be given photoshopped images of all the wrestlers that they have to replicate, thus leading to so many over-muscular moulds being used. Edge for example. Kane, too. even flair musta been getting the photoshopped treatment when jakks are given the photographs... well.. thats my theory. Look at UF Kane and photoshopped kane.. theyre so damn similar! so it looks, to me, like its not jakks ault so many of our figures are incorrect.. its WWE's fault. Please discuss.. |

No, it's how WWE and the superstars want there figures to look like. The superstars and WWE have to approve how their figures will look. It isn't a matter of Jakks getting photoshopped figures, it's a matter of how defined the superstar and WWE want them to look.

Can't we all just agree that unless we ALL bitch, jakks doesn't put detail into their figs, thus having one torso for every cruiserweight?

listen man, you have a picture of Kane just probably breathing out heavy, im not saying hes jacked or anything, but the figure is based on how he looks when he sets his Pyro's off, he looks more muscular like that (Breathing in and stretching/flexing) get over it.

Have you ever seen a body builder in all those competitions, and how ridiculously muscular they look? Well guess what, when they get up in the morning to make breakfast or go out to get the mail, they don't appear that ripped.
The way the human body works, is that you can appear more muscular at times if you really flex yourself and pose correctly, as opposed to when you are just standing about at rest. So Kane in a posed PPV poster (and yeah of course it's air-brush 'enhanced' to just look cooler... the same thing is done to every movie poster and advertisement you see too. No big deal.) compared to Kane just standing there... are definitely gonna look different. It's not 'incorrect' when Jakks makes the figures more muscular.
Go have a look at all the photos of Kane on WWE.com, he looks more ripped in some than others. Especially posed promotional photos as opposed to 'just sanding about' shots. It's like saying that WWE Diva's don't really look like they do on TV because they have make-up and their hair done when they're on TV. Yes, your appearance can be altered when you make a conscious effort. Neither appearance is 'false'.
I'd personally prefer my figures to look like my favorite WWE superstars at their best. I don't want Unmatched Fury figures of Kane standing about, posing for a photo with a fan. I don't want an RA figure of Candice when she gets out of bed first thing in the morning.
Besides, while perhaps not always 100% correct, the figures do look cooler if Jakks gives them more defined muscles than they may appear to have when standing 'at rest'. Most of the torso's Jakks use these days aren't over the top for the person they give them to. Jakks would be making a conscious effort to make the figures look as exciting and larger-than-life as they do, because it just looks better that way. There's no WWE conspiracy at play.
While I agree Jakks have needed some new torso sculpts for a while, that's just because Jakks is famously lazy with that sort of thing. There's more than 5 identical body types in WWE. However the torso's used are usually suitable for some of the roster... just not all of them.

^dude Jakks has way more than 5 torso's, especially for UMF they make specific ones for every fig, heres the RA list
Cruiserweight
CW Ripped
Heavyweight
Extra Ripped
Super Heavyweight
Fat Torso
Regal Torso
Mysterio Torso
Huge torso
I know theres more, anyway im not trying to sound like an bunghole but you're making it sound like Jakks doesnt mass produce figures and put time an effort into it.

Because it's the people who can't type that say that.  Regardless, I agree with you that the WWE probably has quite a bit to do with the fact that the figures all have six-pack abs, but I think the fact that we only had like 3 torsos for a while had everything to do with JAKKS' cheapness. |

Stop with the Blaspheme. Anyway, you are wrong. And I have a pic to prove it. www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/kane/photos1/2007photos/Ok. Now, when Kane stretches out his arms like he is in that pose. He does actually have something of a six pack. Just like in the UF figure. So I think the conspiricies can end now. |
