A 4 case preorder, for what I assume is Hogan, went up on another site yesterday or today. I would imagine RSC will have their pre-orders up in a couple of days.

This is spectacular in some ways and really disappointing in any others. In terms of accessories, it's easily the coolest Hogan figure ever made. The crucifix and tattered headband have been dream Hogan accessories for me for years.
The skintone, however, real mars everything. That ridiculous tan is so essential to the essence of Hogan that messing it up really compromises the figure. The boot height also really bothers me. Hogan never wore boots that low, and I'm pretty bummed that they couldn't be bothered to make a new boot mold for this figure given the pricepoint AND the number of times they'll inevitably reuse it on other 80's/90's Hogans. I'm still sort of torn on the actual facial sculpt, too. It's visually accurate but somehow doesn't really capture the character, if that makes sense.

Without making a new skintone, which existing one does everyone think would have worked best for Hogan? I'd probably go with the Roman Reigns one.

From an episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia":
"He has the silken hair of a Chinaman and the skin of a hot dog".
They got the hair but where's the weiner casing colored skin?
Otherwise flawless! Want!

What a beautiful figure! I'm definitely pulling a PJ on this one. One for my desk, one for my bedroom, one for my display, one to keep MOC, and one to have matches with during my bubble bath. Haha

The figure is outstanding, particularly the facial expression. It captures Hogan in his prime very well.
The only thing that looks questionable is the belt. That particular version of the WWF title was strangely small, and that appearance was amplified on the waist of a big like like Hulk. Of course, that might only be a proto.

The shirt looks great from the back with the cuts in it, but such a huge gap in the front... I'd like to see pics of his hands holding the shirt like he's ripping it. I still think I'll be replacing it with cloth.

This is exactly why I love that Mattel has brought back Defining Moments.

I don't understand why they feel the need to charge $25 for this. The included accessories could easily come with an elite figure. It's just a way for them to make more money because they know how in demand a hogan figure is. You look at the original DM figures and the stuff included justified the prices. These new ones like hogan, razor, even flair, seem a little steep especially when you realize that these are $5 more than they originally were. Also I wish he was a little bit tanner. It's not a huge deal but a deal nonetheless. I'll still get it (It worked), but that doesn't necessarily warrant the high price.

I ordered one, but I ordered it with several other figures to cut shipping costs so I won't get it until probably the end of January.
