does anyone know why they cant release hbk with the stomach hair? makes no sense to me as elite 33 cesaro has the stomach hair....I just feel like the new rsc shawn looks incomplete without the stomach hair.

It makes no sense to me either especially because Cesaro and Razor Ramon both have the belly hair.

Who knows, probably some asinine "it looks like it could be pubic hair" mandate by someone at WWE.

I don't think it is so much that they can't, but more of a cost cut. I would imagine that HBK's figures (The WM30 and the new RSC) have extra costs with the details in the entrance gear, jacket, and paint apps. I suppose they decided to cut the hair out after the first WM30 run to use that cost somewhere else. Not a big deal to me. I wouldn't have noticed it if Wfigs.com didn't make a deal out of it.

I've never seen such passion for hair on figures before...

I don't think its so much that some of the collectors are obsessed with belly hair on figures its just that it looks stupid half done. Had the figure had no torso or belly hair it would look fine but half assing it is worse than none at all IMO. For example I was fine with Elite 19 HBK.

I'm thinking it'd be super sweet if they start introducing flocking to simulate real body hair. Maybe just go full on rooted hair on the body of the figures from now on.
Honestly I don't mind the lightly painted body hair where needed, but some of the figures have gotten carried away. Has anyone tried lightening up the finished product?
Razor is a prime example. Yes, I know the dude was hairy. But this figure's body hair just looks ridiculous. The brush strokes are too bold and thick. I think they should be thinner and a lighter shade. Or just do what was done for the beard, all over the stomach & chest.

Long story short (if I remember correctly) pre-orders had belly hair and later on Walmart got a shipment with it as well. All the rest did not have it. It was called a running change not a mistake in production so somebody complained from WWE likely. |

Go look at that thread again. Look at the Emma figure's legs and compare them to the final product pics on Ringside. The guy selling those on Ebay had prototypes. The Emma proto had the tights sculpt for her legs while the final product had the "nude" sculpt. |

Why do people get all up in arms over HBK's chest hair?

I don't even remember if he had body hair at wm8. He didn't have the tattoo then. Just googling wm8 on my phone I can't tell for sure but it doesn't look like he does have any body hair.
