I saw Battle Packs 1 at TRU today, and I seriously do not like the mask with Cody Rhodes, it looks way too big, I think this could have benefited from being sculpted on the head, so the plastic didnt have to be so thick. The other solution would have been to make sure the head/hair sculpt was set to fit the mask...like the hair was compressed in down the middle for the strap.
I guess we were so spoiled with the Hurricane, and how great that mask was...

Eastern PA...they must have just got them today...I went to TRU last night and there was nothing, they had atleast 30 of them...mostly Cena/Truth. I did not buy any, due to my a fore mentioned hatred for the Cody mask, and that I think the A-Ry looks bad.

That definitely is a cool idea to have sculpted it to the face. Unfortunately i have not seen the Battle pack in person to see how bad it is, only pics online and it is a bit thick but hey, can't complain about an accessory you know Jakks would have left out completely. At least Mattel tried ya know? I think the Elite will be better because the hood on the jacket will take away from the mask a bit.

I disagree, Jakks would have made the mask, and the figure would have been out faster. |

A sculpted mask wouldn't be bad but I prefer the removable mask. Cody often used the mask as a weapon and now he no longer wears the mask. Also, if you put it on the 2 Packs 8 head (the head the Elite will have) it looks even better. They sculpted Hurricane's mask for a number of reasons. 1. He didn't really take it off during matches. 2. I was a Basic figure that didn't come with accessories. I think sculpted or removable it would have been good either way. I'm just happy it fits nice and tight.

I don't like the way it looks on that figure. However, I have it on a Cody fixup I made with the 2P8 head. It fits that SO much better. That is also the head we'll be getting on the new Elite. So, I wonder if it was made to actually fit that head and they just wanted to include it in the Battle Packs.

I don't see really how they could sculpt the mask on and then have it look clear.

The issue with adding items of clothing as accessories rather than sculpting them as part of the figure is always that they're going to be ill-fitting and a bit weird-looking. It's the price you pay for them being removable. I think the Cody mask's fine, all things considered, but I also thought they should have put it on a headsculpt where the hair has an indentation for it. I don't see really how they could sculpt the mask on and then have it look clear. Yeah, there's that too. |

Im sure theres a way to get a sculpted clear mask on there...maybe not cheap enough for a basic though. Im just saying that the mask does not look good on the figure, and I wish there was a better way of getting it out there....not that it matters anymore.

I personally have no problems with the mask because it's a win win for us because we get two Cody's out of it... So let's be thankful... Besides he doesn't wear it anymore....

There isnt really, and thats why sculpting it on would not work. You cant just paint it to make it look clear or paint his face detail on the outer surface because it would look completely weird. And if you are painting the underneath then moulding a separate piece of clear plastic, that would be outrageously expensive to do given the cost of the separate other piece of plastic and the joining processes, etc. It just wouldnt work. Remoavable is really the only way to go. And at that scale, its always going to be impossible to get 100% correct. |

Yeah, it looks like it was made for the Elite fig and Mattel was nice enough to include it with the Battle Pack... I say any accessory they try to give us is a plus but I find the whole scan for that battle pack Cody to look off so the mask not fitting right isnt a big deal

I was going to get this Cody, but when I saw the ridiculous size of the mask, I was really disappointed. Hopefully we get a better mask, but since they decided to change his attire AGAIN, now I just want an Elite Cody with his IC belt and his White attire and Jacket.

Does it really matter? He doesn't even wear the mask anymore so just display or play with him without it.

Yeah. but perfect not carrying a towel might have to do with the fact that he's...you know...dead? |
