Its just funny cuz you were complaining about people 'bitching and not appeciating mattels hard work' then after i said my non biased thing you ignorantly asked me if i thought jakks would have done a better job, then you went on to bitch about the futuristic arm sleeve and no chaps. Pick a side of the fence to sit on or shut up

Of course jakks wouldn't have done better, they had the contract forever and didnt even come close to what mattel has been able to do in terms of quality. But they dont have it anymore so that is a non-issue. Mattel has done amazing work but it doesn't mean we shouldn't push them to do better. Perhaps they've spoiled us a bit, especially after some of the garbage we saw from jakks....but it isn't like anybody is asking for anything outrageous. They have educated us well on their budget and time issues that affect their product and for the most part we try to be realistic within those parameters.

I think they'll get the boot detail for the final product. Shawn's boots have always had those signature designs, seems like a silly thing to overlook. Especially when the Royal Rumble basic figure had the boot designs.
The knee pads I can understand for cost-cutting purposes, especially since the designs are painted onto the figure's knees as it is.
I'm gonna get this figure, if I have to touch it up then so be it. But I think it looks nice. Doesn't mean they couldn't improve (and might still), but still a good figure nonetheless.

Don't get me wrong I think Mattel has done an awesome job, but why miss that detail? ... Elite figures are not cheap and there is only really 3 things to get right painted on HBK's attire - tights, hand wraps and boots. Thats it ... I'm not going to praise Mattel on half ass-ing this figure. They give detail to Rey Mysterio with every tattoo and logo and colour scheme he can possibly have and they don't put a simple design on HBK's boots that he has been wearing since 1995?
It's Shawn Michaels for heavens sake.

I think his face scan is more botched than his boots

They've botched nearly every Shawn Michaels figure with ginger hair or forgetting to paint his beard, so I'm not expecting this one to be perfect. I expect the shoulder thing to be painted in the final product, though.

I am looking forward to this figure big time, but from the pics in the first page an even more obvious botch is his attire. The figure features hearts with a light silver contrasted with a dark silver color. The actual HBK attire from that night had white stripes with a dark silver and a white outline lol.

I'm one of the biggest HBK fans and one of the biggest critics on this figure. I wouldn't be surprised if Mattel just put silver squares on his boots. Please let this be a proto, that's all we can hope for.

Someone will always find something wrong with their product....I'm just happy we are getting what we are getting to begin with. If someone is going to be so obsessed over every detail of the figure they probably shouldn't be collecting. I'm not targeting anyone with this post, I just get annoyed when people get annoyed when a freckle is missing on someone...just be happy we are getting what we are getting. But that's one of the best things about the Mattel line - how many little details they have done right. Why should we settle for pretty good when we could have great? Mattel seems to be pretty good about feedback and fixing stuff up so I have high hopes for them getting things right in the final figure. I didn't hear anybody saying this figure sucked because the boots were wrong - no need to be so defensive. I love most of what Mattel has done so far (product-wise, not business-wise). |

This is the best pic I could find on short notice, but I think it looks like the figure. Seems to match up pretty well, no? Not seeing the white stripes you mentioned, unless you meant the dark and light silver were inverted on the figure? |

I have a feeling the boots will be fully painted, the only thing I'm actually wondering though is if they will give him the knee pads, on the EG figure it really brought it all together and it was really cool, so I hope they go even more all out and include them.
