They're charging $20 for this and they can't include a shiny WCW title or any WCW title? Awful.

Hey people deserve the right to complain - Its cool were getting DDP but its AVERAGE.
Scan isnt much like him, same with hair and beard colour. Plus for $20 I would expect that belt.
Times are tough and I certainly wont justify paying all that money plus shipping for an average figure, but thats just me!

Smiling scan + no classic WCW US Title = NO SALE
For the record, I'm a huge WCW fan and a huge DDP fan. I followed his career from 1995-2002, and a serious-headscan DDP is STILL my #1 most wanted Legends figure.
The bottom line is I do not feel a smiling scan is a good representation of the character. DDP rose to fame as a heel/bully character in 1995 and 1996, and although he turned face in early 1997, he generally maintained a serious and determined look for the rest of his WCW days. It wasn't until his WWE stint that he took on the "positively page" always-smiling gimmick. As far as I'm concerned people who say a smiling scan works for this time in his career are either remembering posed photos, his WWE days, or his real life positive demeanor. I followed his career CLOSELY and AT THE TIME, and I'm telling you, he DID NOT smile that often.
All Jakks gave us was smiling DDP figures, I was really hoping Mattel would give us a serious-face DDP. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

The jacket looks sick! May have to get this one! How can I shut up? I'm typing on a wrestling figure forum. You're telling me to "shut up already" but yet you're saying you "may" have to get it? It's not a jacket. It's a vest with DDP's logo. Supposedly the price of single Legends on Mattycollector is going to be $19.99. When you add in shipping it will be over $25. I have every right to complain about the lack of anything else coming with that figure. Considering Mattel dropped the Legends line completely and is making a big deal about them being exclusive to Mattycollector I thought they were going to go all out with each Legend they release.

Man, for $20 plus shipping, that is going to be a painful purchase, but I will buy it to support the continuation of the legends line.

I'm a Legends-only collector and even I can accept the inevitable - the Rockers are still available, mattycollector's courier company is piss poor for you guys in the States, much less us International folk. At this point we're not buying to support the continuation of the line, the line is as good as dead by the time Arn and Tully warm the virtual shelf - AND I'm a huge Arn/Tully supporter! Bill will come in here and blame us for the line's demise, it's like Vince Russo booking. As for this DDP - I'm glad he's smiling, DDP is a very positive guy in real life. The scan is off, the hair is off, and for $20 we're getting a rubber vest like SCSA (who also came with a knee brace and hat in his All-Stars release for less money). Yeah we have every right to complain - that's fookin bogus. Let's put it into perspective - Elite 14 Big Bossman has shades, nightstick, and ball & chain accessories for the same price, more widely available since he's part of a retail release too. Boggles the mind. And for people excited about seeing Bundy - if DDP is any indication we'll be paying $20 for a fat guy in a black singlet only.

I hope they are going to be charging $15.99 or something because I don't think it's going to sell at all for $20 each.
Oh well, we had a nice legend run. Thank god for flashbacks.

It's looks ok but for $20 plus shipping I will have to pass. I was big fan of WCW. If they would have included a WCW belt, I would have not think twice and would have bought it.

Yeh I hear ya Bandelero. I will support the Mattel Legends line IF they make guys I want, do a good job of them, and they are available for me to buy at a fair price. I'm not saying they have to be cheap, far from it, but I'm NOT paying out for poorly done figures (e.g. a smiling DDP or a Macho Man that looks nothing like him) or superstars I don't want (e.g. old-school era stars or people Jakks made good-enough in CS), and I'm NOT paying 3 or 4 times the price that Americans pay, just because I live in England.
Mattel can't blame me for the failure of the line. I can name literally hundreds of superstars I would buy, and I'm willing to pay a good price (£20-£25 if it's someone I want, done correctly). But I'm a Monday Night Wars fan, with a large CS collection to BUILD on. I'm not interested in "old-school" Legends (because I don't remember them) or re-buying figures Jakks already made good-enough in CS, and I'm not gonna buy figures that are done poorly.

I think if this is going to be $20 + Shipping, I think they could at least include a Necklace & either a Shiny / Vacced WCW United States Title or a Dull, but WELL PAINTED DETAIL WCW United States Title as well as the Vest.
Would justify the price for some people a little more.
And as for people saying the Hair isn't Mulleted enough, I think they should probably try & get it a bit like they have with Magnum T.A.'s Hair mould as that looks like a pretty good Mullet from the pic, yet they've gone slightly off Mullet style with D.D.P
