I was checking out the back of the package for the new Elite WM30 HBK when I noticed his tights looked a little baggy. Then I realized why. Looks like an older HBK wrestled at WM14 with baggy tights.

They did a hell of a photoshop job but then they forget to tighten his tights there. Interesting. They even went the extra mile and added braids to his hair. LOL Mattel's art dept is awesome.

Ha ha, I noticed that too. You're telling me there aren't any pictures of Shawn from back then they could use?

The front photo was photoshopped too.

It's so bizarre that they'd have to go through the trouble of doing all of that work to a newer photo, when countless, more accurate publicity shots of HBK exist from that same era.

It made me laugh, but my gut reaction was this; Ha ha, I noticed that too. You're telling me there aren't any pictures of Shawn from back then they could use? I know, it had to have taken a lot more effort to make that instead. Maybe Mattel doesn't have photo rights? Lol.

Not really a botch if they done it intentionally. Granted they're a bit baggy but I like how they turned one attire into a completely different one in Photoshop.

You guys are just now realizing they photoshop the pictures on the cards? How was it not obvious when every Mysterio had the same picture and he was wearing completely different attire?

Obvious oversights aside, Mattel's design guys are really good at photo manipulation. It's very hard to make something from a source material with different lighting and textures and whatnot and alter it enough to make it look as convincing as it does. I'm going to school for this stuff, so it's really interesting to see it done on a professional level from my end.
