Have you noticed on the back of the legends card it lists a particular "memorable moment" some even have a specific bold/highlighted event. For example, L2 Rick Rude talks about SummerSlam 1990 and that event is bolded and the figure is wearing his attire from that event. Makes perfect sense.
Some legends dont have any specific event highlight or bolded but has a common or popular attire. That's fine.
HOWEVER; some Legends figures has a bolded specific event yet the figure does NOT portray the attire from that event.
For example L1 Dusty Rhodes is wearing his popular black and yellow polka dots attire he wore in the late 80s/early 90s frequently however the event bolded is Great American Bash 1986, which wasnt the same attire. There are others as well.
Why even mention the wrong or irrelevant event let alone bold it?!?

No offense but I think you are missing the point. I'm specifically talking about the Legends line and the events that are in BOLD. DH Smith is a current wrestler, not a legend in which mattel is recreating a particular look of a legend's career.

DH Smith is a current wrestler, not a legend in which mattel is recreating a particular look of a legend's career. Was just an example at how asinine it is. Slaughter in AWA gear = not many memorable moments for example, so naturally you go with an actual memorable moment. If that attire happens to be from when there was one, then sure, go with that.If BOLD lettering is such a big deal, I'd question my priorities personally. Besides, see the DM HBK figure. Now THAT'S an error! |

It wasn't a good example. Slaughter didn't have any memorable moments in AWA? Hmmmm, now that's a BOLD statement  It's not something that would make or break a purchase for me...just something I noticed. |

And the example was just fine, God forbid it be a different line  |

I'm a loose collector, but I took him out of the package, then cut out the plastic part, so that I could still display him as a special figure. So I display him in the DM packaging, but without the plastic parts. It looks pretty awesome. |

That's far from an error. This. It's simply a choice on Mattel's part. The memorable moment doesn't have to match the attire. They choose a memorable moment from the person's career. If you want attire/memorable moments to coincide, that's what DM is for |
