"Bundy"

not being functional is one thing, but take a look at that all-pink Bret Hart in the package where you can see those extra large pink knee pads - they are so big there's a gap formed by the pads around his thighs!!! When has Bret ever worn knee pads like that?

If I've convinced you about it not being functional, surely you guys can appreciate that guys like Bret never wore large knee pads like that? What's baffling to me is that MDT has access to the smaller - more accurate/functional knee pads - hell I got every colour in the book so far, even pink (DH Smith).

Again I know this is supposed to be a Bundy thread, but MDT/Bill made their call on that issue already.

atleast you mattel guys are active on here.. i appreciate that, and hope you guys butt in more often.. although none of you are as cool as Ringside TOM!.. yea those big knee pads are stinkie-poo and will cause me to almost cut my finger as i exacto it from my rsc ex. BRET The HITMAN HART 93 rumble fig

yeah there is ppl who wear them like that i.e Punk, Kofi, Jericho etc
I agree they are not the best choice for the Exclusive Bret and hey, they may not even be on that Bret in the end.. look at cody rhodes.. they displayed him with knee pads and Mattel said they hurried up and did that for a final product too show off at RSF.. Mattel said Cody wont have those pads on when the figure releases so maybe Bret wont.. that Bret couldda been a proto display type fig...
either way im betting there are more superstars who use the smaller knee pads over the ones using the bigger ones so they may have decided too put them on Bret just too use up there stock of bigger knee pads ya know!? its hard too say.. i personally dont mind those big knee pads like i said, look wise that is, but mobility its a little hard too smile about on certain elites cause it really does limit there posing down or the moves you try posing them into etc

Could this be the Bundy proto?



Although the kneepads look wrong...

Jericho and Punk both wear small to medium, so i hate when they put the large on them.

yeah but the thing is, see how the boots run right into the knee pads with no gap? they use the large so it gives the figure that accurate look cause if they used the smaller ones there would be a gap between the boots and knee pads and Punks lower body would quickly look like Randy Ortons or Wade barrets,. who you can see standing right across from Punk lol Punk would look weird with a lower body like that, having the gap between the boots and knee pads

That makes no sense..... why not make the kickers taller then and be accurate?

What you mean it makes no sense? lol it makes perfect sense.. i can understand your opinion too, but im almost betting they have a ton of different style boot molds around and they prob just use those up, using the largest boot mold, rather then spending money cutting out a whole new design for one figure. It would look good if they did that what you said but it would take more time and money and considering more superstars use the little knee pads over the kickpads/kneepads combo, they prob just dont want all these extra useless plastic too tall boots sitting around the factory.. You gotta remember that Mattel is a company and employee's ppl, who show up too work everyday and get paychecks or salary. To them, this is there job. Sure there trying too please the country and hell, they are doing alot better than most toy companies considering they take the time too jump on here and answer our questions, hear us out in polls and opinions etc but at the end of the day thats there employment and they got a budget they need too meet or stay under so they can get paid and go feed there families. I mean if they spent more cutting out larger plastic too make a select few ppl happy on knee pads and went well over the budget on that, or lost money some how because of this then they wouldnt be eating or feeding there family. Basically, there is a reason behind everything they do and they DO know what there doing.
The look is not the bad thing about these knee pads.. in fact, its the last worse thing about them as i mentioned earlier its the mobility that ruins them.
Hey, they could always throw on the small knee pads and paint the gap between the boots and knee pad like they did Big show lol i would rather the fig stay the way it was though before they resorted too that really.


lol hahaha this is the best thread i read in a month or 2, i never thought ppl were this picky haha all because Mattel cant put a guys nick name on the package lol its been amusing reading these non the less. I could see if something was wrong with the fig inside and you were a moc collector or even if the packaging was heavily damaged but them not including Bundy's nick name "King Kong" in his name is not going too make the figures value increase or decrease anymore, its not doing anything too the figure. So who cares if they cant do it.. you know who king kong bundy is right? thats why you would be buying the figure. Anyone you show the figure too MOC would obviously know king kong bundy i really dont see the point as too why its such a turn off too ppl cause they cant include "King Kong" legally in the name??

lol its funny your one of those dudes gettin mad cause ya aint hearin what you wanna hear or somethin aint going your way.. what toy company do you work for again? That starving was just an example too get through to less smart ppl's heads like yours that there running a business, and that they have too stay on a budget.. And no one said anything about kneepads costing more, it was about the plastic being cut too make taller boot molds for the kick pads.. Sure, it would be great too make taller boot molds as i said in previous post above and get smaller pads, but its prob not going too happen considering we already lost the legends line and DM's and EG's too horrible sales. Why do you think Mattel would go wasting more money on plastic (yes! plastic does cost money believe it or not too make these) when there losing so much in lines already that failed??
Kissing ass is far from the truth, when i just see the figures for what Mattel is giving us and appreciating what im getting.. Im old enough too appreciate things in life and be thankful for the things i get not bitch, and whine, and cry, and picking out the smallest details and errors on everyones stuff just too judge them and complain.
Hey, no one is forcing you too buy these Mattel figures.. thats your own choice, if you hate them that bad and gotta judge all the small errors, why do you even collect them and waste your money? lol
You have no idea what its like too run a toy company, running the financial dept of a big corporation, busting your back too get products done with in a dead line, yet still try too please the consumer.
So stop lookin like an ass and sounding ungrateful bitching about small details and wanting everything your way cause your not gonna get.. start appreciating things more dude
