What glaring errors do you recall with figures from Mattel.
I'm not talking about discrepancies of whether a costume was worn on this day, or that day, I'm talking about things that are plain wrong, or messed up.
Just looking through member "The Legion Of Doom"'s excellent collection.
Noticed this and confirmed with my Defining moments figure as well as his Legends 6 Warrior.
The warrior symbol on the boot has no pointed part at the top!!
It's like a heart shape instead with a dip at the top in the middle
I think this may have been missed by a lot of people who were busy looking at the duster, or the yellow belt.
As a side note when is Ralph going to get some proper tassle for that duster...
I just got Papa Shango, it's awful, the inside of his mouth is painted white......pretty sure he only painted his face and lips.

I do see what you mean by the Warrior logos almost looking like heart shapes on his boots, its odd because Legends 6 has the correct logos. As for Papa Shango, I never noticed they painted the inside of his mouth white until you just mentioned it lol. I guess it is a bit careless but compared to what we have seen from Jakks in the past, this is soooo much better that its almost not worth complaining about because Mattel uses detail Jakks never even dreamed of. I feel you though. |

I can't confirm it right now because I'm at work - but does Road Warrior Animal have his Tasmanian devil tattoo on his bicep?
oh wait...he's in my sig and nope - Mattel left it out!

I love every Rock figure Mattel has put out, but I have to point out that during his 2001-2003 run, The Rock's hairline in the back was somewhat of a "v" shape. On his legends/DM figure it's a simple straight line, if that makes any sense.
Also, they used the same head scan on his TRU IC Title ex 2pack legends Rock, when around that time, Rock was growing out his sideburns. Small errors that actually get overlooked, and while it doesn't really bug me, I couldn't help but notice lol.

Elite 8 Evan Bourne's red trunks actually had the inside as a black part, like how pillmans red part on his black tights, or how many of benoits were. they left it off the figure. all his figures actually

Elite 12 kane has a skin colored shoulder swivel on the arm that is fully sleeved. Doesn't bother me much but definetly seems a little careless, surprised that one never got fixed

A lot of figures with tattoos have a blank skin color swivel instead of having the tattoo section that is missing from the actual arm piece. I just saw for the first time that on my newest CM Punk they corrected it and actually put the tattoo on the swivel piece as well. I never noticed with Kane though Ill have to check it out. |

The only two glaringerrors/mistakes I see are -
Orton's hairline. They always make it round, but it's not
And when they used the long tights upper thigh piece in flesh color on the E2 DiBiase & E11 Barrett...you still see the tights wrinkles

For some reason, Mattel likes to make Eddie Guerrero's boots orange when they were gold. It's weird, seeing as Chavo has gold boots but Eddie doesn't.

HHH's hairline....need I say more. They corrected that after the first 3 figures. (Basic 1, EG & E2) Sure those three looked like he had a cheap toupe on, but his first PPV figure that was corrected. |

I'm looking at my Mattels and I notice that Rick Rude has no designs on the back of his tights and the DM Savage is missing his shirt and arm sleeves. Not a big problem in my eyes though. Just happy that we are seeing the Macho Man in toy form!

I guess not having it is a good way to cut costs. |

Just happy that we are seeing the Macho Man in toy form! Well with Rude they said they couldn't add it, because at the time they were having trouble signing Warrior. And with Savage I personally think that would have made the figure too bulky if they added a cloth shirt and sleeves under the coat. Which I think would have made it look like crap. But that's just my personal thoughts on the Macho figure |

Basic Jack Swagger's height, elite Mr Perfect's height.
Most of the fabric outfits. The t-shirts are usually okay but the pants and jackets are terrible. Ridiculously thick and oversized.
My Entrance Greats Undertaker came with the Entrance Greats Rock shirt on.
Defining Moments Warrior has completely the wrong hair. Same for several Rock figures.
Shawn Michaels' beard missing on almost all figures (exceptions being the DX two-pack, the WM26 figure, and Basic series 4).
Making Shawn Michaels and Daniel Bryan ginger.

Oh, I wasn't saying it's a current issue. Hell, even my Basic 1 1/1000 HHH doesn't look that bad. Just pointing out one of those issues. My Elimination Chamber Undertaker's shoulder and neck tattoo were printed incorrectly, but really nothing outside of that. |

All the guys they gave the orange hair to. Mattel seems to have trouble getting the correct colors on stuff.
