I expect that we'll get a better head to swap onto this figure at some point.

It's not perfect, but I still think it looks great. The only thing I would change is to give him a second IC title with silver/white gold finish. I know the gear isn't from Wrestlemania X, but Shawn's "Fake" title would be a great thing to have.  |

In an age where figures are so expensive and supposed to be "mind blowing" i dont know where to begin in terms of why i hate this figure. The color, the face, chest hair, t rex arms, wrong elbow pad, wrong kneepads etc. Hold on i dont dish out about $50 cdn to get this piece of crap sent to me..if this was a regular elite the flaws might fly, but its frickin Razor Ramon! Mattels revamped DM line looked good with flair. But im not foolish enough to think that Hogan's worth my money either. These are the guys the grownups care about - so mdt shouldn't be surprised by the backlash

Mattel has made some thicker guys a bit too skinny I would agree. JBL and Legends Mr Perfect for example. But it is a great figure and they do the best they can with the resources available to them. JBL was prob the worst body on a fig they've made. I don't how how anyone could display him without his jacket lol |

I think Razor must be a difficult figure to get "right"... Jakks and Mattel both seem to have had problems with him. I like the head/likeness... my main issue is that his torso and arms just look too small for Razor (he was a big guy!). Plus, his chest-hair seems too dark... maybe the way they did his face stubble would have looked better on his chest too(?). I don't want to come across as too picky/negative though - overall, I like the figure and am thrilled Mattel were able to make him.  |

It seems for as many figures then can get right, there are just as many they get wrong. I sometimes bang on about people nit picking and moaning for the sake of it about tiny things, but something major like this that really has no excuse not to be pretty much accurate is an exception.
I agree with the initial poster. I will still buy this figure when it becomes available in the UK, but am very dissappointed with the final product.

I agree. He's too small but everything else is awesome. I wasn't a fan of the scan until I got it in person. My biggest complaint is the belt! Betw razor n xpac these belts have been slacking! Come on mattel!
Oh n not to mention my razor has 1 side of his beard a darker shade than the other. Looks like he forgot to shave.

The Jakks Classic was litterally the same color.

I'm sure part selection for limbs has everything to do with proportion. They probably wanted to give the appearance of halls arms being longer, so they gave him a leaner arm to create that effect without actually making the arms longer.

Listen here, CHICOS! You all have been griping for a razor for years now and when you finally get it, YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BAD GUY, MAN! I cannot believe Mattel caters to you people, tries to do the best they can and you have no understanding. Just remember, things on the screen always look different in the light of day. But Razor Ramon, HE SIMPLY LOOKS BETTER MAN! This is a figure that the bad guy would be proud of. If you don't like it? Well, at least its better than Jakks, CHICOS!

The Jakks Classic was litterally the same color. With the exception of the boots they are pretty close the same colors. Jakks is slightly lighter.  |

I got two Razors. One to put in my display and one to screw around with. I put the Razor head on a Triple H body for a second. Looked pretty good. Maybe that's the way they should have gone. Or possibly the Austin torso. Razor was pretty thick up top.

Almost all their RA styled figures had thunder thighs.

I just wish they could've gotten the purple right, or went with back, red, or gold instead |

Heres a novel idea. Dont order the figure until RSC has pics. This forum is one of the most impatient, and im guilty too, but if this stuff is a big issue just wait.
I love it. Its comin today and im amped. Those jakks vs mattel pics are great. CS head might be ok, but who the hell is that? RA is traaaaash
