So I recently bought elite series 12 Daniel Bryan and while it's a great figure, I couldn't help but to notice that the skin color on the arms and the torso weren't a perfect match. Now if my memory is correct, a while ago, on this very forum, I remember either reading an entry or watching a video where a Mattel rep was bashing Jakks and may have even said that someone would be fired if something like that were to happen on their watch. I'm sure it would take me forever to search for it but does anyone else remember this?? Kollecting King also recently posted pictures of the new Wrestlemania heritage line and some of the figures also seem to have the same problem... thoughts...

1. Photos with flash will always throw off the colors. Never judge a figure by that.
2. Because the torso and arms are made from different plastics (arms are a softer plastic,) it looks a little different. It's never really that noticeable though.

They never bashed them just said it was lazy of them.
Jakks did it with every figure.
I personally haven't see it yet and I have every Mattel figure made so far.

And honestly, although some of my figures do have this problem, It is because they have been in the sun, and they fade at a different rate because of the difference in materials. Otherwise, figures fresh out of the box don't have this problem, or I've never encountered this.

It really depends on the fading of the color. They are 2 different plastics so they both fade at a different rate. Jakks would DELIBIRATELY have two different colors for their arms/torso. The only real issue that I've seen with this for Mattel are they're hispanic wrestlers. The Colons, Eddie, Rey, Chavo, etc.

None of my figs have this problem. Just checked my Bryan over and it looks the same.

You should challenge Mattel to a cage match They never bashed them just said it was lazy of them. Jakks did it with every figure. I personally haven't see it yet and I have every Mattel figure made so far.I gotta see pics of this collection |

My Bryan is fine, and all my mattels too. I've never seen this. I also think you should challenge them to a cage match. And by them I mean both Bills, and a former heavyweight champion of their choosing.
