Wrestling Toys (Mattel WWE, Jazwares AEW, etc.)

Target had the Legends Greatest Hits sidekick display today. I picked up Dusty and Virgil. Little connection there with those two figures.

The hip sockets appear to be elongated to allow some inward movement. She can touch her heels together. This is quite a development. Can't believe I haven't seen it brought up anywhere else.

If that's an intentional engineering choice - that's a really solid update. I just wish Mattel wasn't so fucking cheap and lazy. I've banged on about this, I know, but I love wrestling figures and it's so depressing that Mattel came out of the gate being like 'we're going to make accurate figures where Undertaker and Rey Mysterio don't share the same body.' And here we are. Where 70% of the women's roster shares the same body, and there's basically 6 male bodies in rotation.

I almost canceled this one because I thought it was going to have a similar issue as Asuka's figures. I'm pretty sure it's just a tiny bit of extra material removed from the socket, but whatever tweak they did, really helps if you want a basic vanilla standing pose.

Is he who we have to thank for improving the female figures? We desperately need Bianca Belair on a bigger body, I can't believe they made her figures on what looks like the Bella twin body (actually, I can believe it...). But the only non-clearance WWE figs I've bought in years are females, the last Rhea was really nice, I hope we get the Ultimate version from the wrestling ring package soon, the one with the big shoulders. If they make Ultimate Rhea and Ultimate Bianca and they're buff and use the ball joint waist, I'll be in toy fig heaven!

A lot of the recent improvements have come from him, yes. He wanted to do great things with the AEW line, but was a bit handcuffed (fucking Jeremy Padawer). Now you can see what he's capable of. That new Monday Night Wars Austin is him, a lot of the females, etc. Dude is crazy talented.

I like that Stone Cold...but to make a Stone Cold and not give him any fists is certainly a decision! Let's ditch those pointer finger hands, nobody is using those and pretending they're something else.
