I've only just noticed that Mattel's Wade Barrett figures don't have elbow pads. It's a fairly minor gripe, but why the hell don't they? Barrett's worn elbow pads pretty much his entire WWE career, including at TLC, yet none of his first three toys have them.
Are there many other figures that come with the wrong number of elbow pads? I remember a lot of series 2 elite Matt Hardys (including mine) didn't have any, and R-Truth had two when he should have only had one.

Mattel have been missing out a lot of stuff as late.

I have to say I hate the elbow pads, if you're using your figures for display and sutff it's not a problem but if you animate or pose with them then they suck tbh. You can't fully bend the elbow joints

Well crap. I didn't realize. Guess I won't be getting any of the current Barretts. Fingers crossed for an elite with elbow pads at SDCC.

Then I would have some other figure without elbow pads. I try to spend as little as I can manage. Although admittedly I did take the elbow pads off my SDCC Taker because the arm tattoos are too amazing to cover up. Put the elbow pads on Mike Knox which he did sometimes wear, and it looks awesome. |

It might be, but look at the trunks on his Basic 10 figure. There's very little detail needed on those, that figure has less detailed paintwork than, say, Elimination Chamber Batista. And that Batista came with elbow pad, didn't it? |

maybe they want to make a new elbow pad mold since Wades arms are a new mold? Just a thought.

If I remember correctly, Skip Sheffield never wore elbow pads. If I am right and you have Skip you can just take off his elbow pads and put them on Wade. I took the elbow pads off of one of my Christians and put them on Wade.

I took the elbow pads off of one of my Christians and put them on Wade. Skip did wear elbow pads a couple of times, but pretty rarely. And those are tiny elbow pads and Wade needs the bigger ones. First Wade got screwed out of the WWE Title, and now, elbow pads. And taking off those elbow pads is a pain in the ass! I've never tried taking off the knee pads, I can't imagine how tough it would be. And to think we used to complain about Jakks pads being too loose. |
