Something i've noticed about the 2pack Sheik

I have no real problems with any of the Sheik figures, the one thing that irks me is that they put him in damn shorts in the 2 pack. painting the legs just bugs me.

Any reason why you felt the need to come in here and be a tool?

I like match authentic figures. Figures i can trace to a specific match or moment. If you have a problem with that gtfo.

I'm sorry but this was funny in a sophomoric way haha

Mr. Attack I think you might be a little to fanatical. I like that you posted the inaccuracies because this is a forum about wrestling figures. But you shouldn't become too obsessive and you have every right not to support Mattel with you money. But it's supposed to be a fun hobby don't get burnt out on it or you will lose the enjoyment. The guys who collect 1/6 scale military have a term for this type of collector, "stitch n*zi".

Hey Hart Attack, I wasn't trying to be a tool, just adding some humour into your life (hence the boner video). I too liked that you did a tremendous amount of research to try to validate L2 Iron Sheik, but now you're onto the 2-pack Sheik, a figure that is already highly inaccurate due to the toy having shorts when your reference pic clearly shows trunks. It's also part of a discontinued line, and it was clear from the beginning that Mattel wasn't going to go all out with those Legends 2-Packs in terms of multiple paint applications and accessories. If that stops you from buying them so be it.

But why stop there? Vader in L3 is also inaccurate. It's weird I know, but in all his matches I've seen he clearly has black knee pads over his tights, yet he does not come with knee pads. Should that prevent you from buying the figure? Your call really.

I think your efforts would be even more appreciated if you were able to track down the match that has BAFFLED the whole wfig message board - and that's the All Star Macho Man attire. All we have to go by is a 2 second clip from a Survivor Series intro. THAT reference pic would be worth something.

Hmm.. I don't really mind for the accuracy actually. after all its just a toy but thanks for pointing it out.

It isn't accurate. I get that. I really understand some people's fixation on true-to-life replication. When I play NCAA Football for EA Sports with the teambuilder (create-a-team), it makes me so mad when some punk puts Peyton Manning on the Tennessee Volunteers and gives him his NFL number (18) and not his college number (16) . . . just as an example.

My point is: when you KNOW something is wrong, it's annoying. Like the yellow winged eagle belt with L6 Ultimate Warrior instead of the historically accurate yellow IC belt. So I completely understand where you're coming from, but if you had to do research to find the error, then that's a little over the top. Maybe you didn't need the research for yourself; maybe you only needed it to prove your point to the rest of us; to prove what you already knew in your mind. But if not, then you really shouldn't worry so much (or drag the rest of us readers into it). After all, I was blissfully ignorant of the mistakes in both Sheiks until you pointed them out.

it's just the standard Testors gloss blue (921521)

The trunks being longer doesn't really bother me, but i don't see why is was neccessary considering Volkoff didn't get the same treatment. Lets see if they continue to do this for all Sheik figures, if so i will be cool. I don't want that one odditity in my collection though. So i hope they keep that style for the sake of it matching futures Sheik's in trunks.
