At long last, my Basic 23 Kane arrived on Monday. Now I've been waiting for this figure since the moment he debuted in December. Kane's been my favorite wrestler since 1997 and to see him back with the mask? Total mark-out ensued. So naturally I HAD to have this figure, and let me say, it's pretty much perfect. Yeah, I know he's changed his attire since then, but for what it is, it is damn good. One thing I wanted to make note of is the mask. As you can see, I did my little paint fix-ups like I do with most of my figures. In this case, I painted his lips and gave them a light gloss, I painted his mask a bit darker red and also gave it a gloss, and I also painted the straps of the mask black because they were just the color of the hair (that's right, they even got the straps!) More importantly, I wanted to make note of the mask itself. The sculpt is there, there's no doubt about it. Sadly, the factory paint doesn't do it justice and so I gave mine a black wash to allow all those creases to stand out.

WOW, that mask looks a hundred times better with your paint job on it. Kudos, I'll have to do that to mine when I eventually get that figure. Even though it doesn't look that great, the shade of red on the mask that Mattel used I can understand, but I can't believe they didn't paint the straps of the mask black. That's really weak.

Wow, that looks so much better I just got my B23 Kane in the mail today and i thought about adding black paint to the straps too. If you don´t mind i´ll borrow your idea of fixing his mask up. Hope it turns out as well as yours

Excellent job with the mask, it really turns an already superb figure into an amazing figure.

Ironically I was planning on doing the same. It's a great figure indeed! Are you planning on glossing the boots?

If you fixed up one of those figures for me, I'd start collecting Mattel. That's f'n awesome.

The figure is unbelievable. Best basic male figure in my opinion that Mattel has made.
