Sigh... If you think that Taker is blue in any shape of form, then your colorblind. Get your eyes checked. Thank you! Idk how many times this needs to be said. I even posted ref pics a page or 2 back...

Ok, then put it like this... The purple, imo, isnt what I guess you would call "as light" of a shade that he wore.
Basically, its the shade of purple that make it seem too dark.
I love the figure, dont get me wrong, but I think it couldve been a little bit lighter.... I mean check the pic on the box as a reference and then look at whats on the figure.
Regardless, I'll be picking it up

Could somebody she'd some light on when taker was in purple and had the full tattoo sleeves, like perhaps who he fought in matches during that time? I honestly can't recall.... though I was only 6 or 7 at the time, so my memory is foggy! Im really glad we have diesel and yokozuna for this era taker. But we still need Sid! Oh, and mable with orbital bone breaking action The figure (judging by the shoulders) is based on WrestleMania XII, where he fought Diesel. In the purple outfit, his notable feuds and matches were with Underfaker (debut of the purple outfit), a casket match with Yoko, The Million Dollar Corporation (IRS, Bundy, Kama), Mabel, Bret Hart, Diesel, Mankind, Goldust. At Survivor Series 1995, if you want to get complete, his team-mates and opponents: The Darkside (The Undertaker, Savio Vega, Fatu and Henry Godwinn) (with Paul Bearer) defeated The Royals (King Mabel, Jerry Lawler, Isaac Yankem and Hunter Hearst Helmsley) (with Sir Mo) He changed from the purple to the all-black leather Hellraiser style look (as captured in his Defining Moments figure) at Survivor Series 1996 during his feud with Paul Bearer and Mankind, and then with the new look went on to feud with The Executioner, Vader, Sid etc. Thanks for the info dude, I appreciate it! Thankfully the new TRU exclusive debut Mankind will fit into this category!!

Undertakers goatee was black most of the time, it was also reddish but I prefer it dark black! Mattel forgot to add more pinkish makeup above undertakers eyebrows. And why isn't Undertakers goatee connected completely? Going to buy undertaker and triple h! Hey I haven't seen you post in a while. Shouldn't the goatee be reddish? Or was it darker then? I can't remember, but I thought it was brown with a reddish tint to it. I think that is what is making it look off to me.

But for what Mattel was going for, which is WrestleMania XII, they are totally on point. Can we put this color thing to rest (in peace) now? lol

It's def not blue. N it's not like he never wore that color be4. If there's anything to complain about its the rubber coat.

It's still a great figure, regardless of the shade they chose. I didnt mean what I said as an argument.
If indeed they were going for that Wrestlemania, then they nailed it spot on !

If its so hard to tell whether its blue or purple then its not purple...... Why do you guys care so much.... it looks blueish....
The picture of undertaker on the card has purple gloves... this figure is a mix of blue and purple.... im not gonna judge it till I have it in my hands but I think im going to have to paint the boots , gloves and hat
I don't care if its accurate to whatever match... like others id just rather it be a purple color then have to argue whether its blue or purple

Can we put this color thing to rest (in peace) now? lol Ha, people wanna call me colorblind; these colors don't match at all. Then youre colorblind lol. I would say at most the figure color is maybe too vibrant, could be a little desaturated and it would be just like WMXII. The color is not blue, the ring post in the elbow drop pic is blue, the bottom rope is blue, the logo on the mat is blue, the Rocks shirt in my sig is blue. Granted its also not the purple thats on the box either, which he did wear a lot of the time. Its violet, which is a mixture of blue and purple. Its the color he wore at WM and this being a WM flashback set thats what they went with. Honestly im just happy were getting this Undertaker, idc what shade his gloves are i wouldve like either the same. I wanted Triple H to be in the shiny purple tights from SS98 but we got WMXV, im stil psyched to get that cuz its still a pretty awesome fig too.

It just dawned on me that whatever color you see or whether you buy it or not has absolutely no impact on me so idky i fought that so much, my apologies. But I do think its spot on and im very happy with my preorder and i cant wait til friday to get it, and thats as far as it should go. And if you do end up painting it i would love to see it once its done

For the most part they look great. I'm still not keen on the "60 year old homeless person" Macho Man scan though... I'd have much preferred him to come with a bandana and glasses (like on the box picture) instead of the belt too. And the sleeves on Undertaker's coat (like with his very first Elite figure) seem a bit short? Cesaro and JBL look fantastic.

That looks way closer to the blue used all over this forum and definitely nothing like the purple on the card image. And "violet" is not "blue and purple combined," that's STUPID. Do you not know how rainbows work? Blue, indigo, violet. ROYGBIV. Violet is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Say what you want, but that color on the figure doesn't match the reference pics you posted, it doesn't match the package, it doesn't really match anything he's ever worn.
Also, colorblindness in no way affects your ability to see the difference between purple and blue. That's not how colorblindness works.

And none of that matters, cause all anybody wanted was "purple gloved Taker." If there's a constant debate over whether or not it's blue or purple, then Mattel failed.

"Violet is a bright bluish purple color that takes its name from the violet flower. On the traditional color wheel used by painters, it is located between blue and purple." However, to make a point, the flash of the camera really affects the color. I received this figure the other day, and it looks much better (more purple) in person.

I'm surrounded by art geeks, I trust them and myself more than whatever quote you googled. Besides, in reality, "violet" is synonymous with "purple."

But we could argue violet logic all day, but all I'm trying to say is, the camera flash really affects the color on Taker. I promise it looks much better in person. Wait until you get it, you won't be let down.
