I was watching some of bret harts matches and I notice that his rsc fig is based from his match with razor ramon from royal rumble 93 and he was the wwf champ but his fig don't come with the belt. then I notice his dm fig is based from the in your house when it was the Canadian stampede and he wasint the champ at that the time but the fig comes with the belt. I have both figs and there great some of my favorite but how does mattel make so many little mistakes

The mistakes here aren't whether or not it comes with the belt, but that the DM is missing kneepads, and that the exclusive has the wrong kneepads and missing elbow pads. The WMXXX Hart is also missing elbowpads. Why does Mattel make so many mistakes? Because BillMDT doesn't care about you and shows up for a paycheck.

I just took the elbow pads from the RSC Brock since I remember him more without elbow pads from that time period and put them on the WM XXX Bret. It was a quick fix-up that works well for me.

If he did not care we would not be getting so many awesome figures. |

His WM30 figure is from WM10, but the pink is too light. His tights were almost neon pink.

Sure, there are attire mistakes sometimes, but blaming Bill isn't the answer. Not to say this for sure, but I'd bet he is super passionate and would love to give us what we want; he probably makes the kind of figures he would want to own, but then his bosses, Mattel corporate, tell him to cut costs, and boom, elbow pads disappear.
As far as wrong kneepads, I've got no good answer. I do wonder why figures such as the Rock not having open-back kneepads or all the giant knee-sleeves is weird.

They have thousands upon thousands of pads in factory that cost fractions of a fraction of a cent. Then again, Mattel is the company that makes HotWheels out of metal with an MSRP of $1 but tell us that a shiny plastic belt is some unbelievably high cost item. While I'm at it, who wants to explain Legends Eddie's wrong boots? Or all the people with the wrong long kneepads that everyone has been complaining about since literally day one of the line? Or the running change on HBK's chest hair? Or where the Road Warrior boot mold has been? Or why BoPPV Axel has the wrong boots? Or why basic Austins all have the wrong boots? Or why none of the Superstar Entrance figures use the Tommy Dreamer upper arms with molded sleeves? The attire of every wrestler on the planet is a google search in the palm of your hand away, there's no excuse for any of these mistakes other than him and/or Mattel don't care about you. DCUC collectors have been dealing with this for years.

What are you 10? I make it a point to not buy halfassed figures with no thought or effort behind them. If something's going to be marketed as being "highly detailed" with "authentic ring attire," it should be. That's worth complaining about. Why would somebody be happy about product with errors and mistakes? And a sneaker insult isn't anymore immature than posting a played out Spider-Man gif. |

You two are both terrible posters who have contributed nothing relevant to the topic at hand.

Its all about budgets. Mattel has already stated a few years back when DM5 came out that they had room in the budget to add the Winged Eagle so they did. Defining Moments had a very large budget (as well as a fairly high price point). The RSC Exclusive is essentially just an Elite figure and I would imagine have same similar budget as and elite figure Once you calculate the jacket, glasses as well as the deco for a Bret figure, they wouldnt have the budget to put in a VUM WWF Title.
