No disrespect RSC and Mattel...but c'mon...really? Just saw the latest advertisement for RSC Scott Hall on Instagram, and one of the features advertised is that it includes knee and elbow pads. Does anyone else find that a little absurd? I'm glad they are in there, but should it be that big of a deal that a wrestling figure comes in wrestling gear?

Supposedly Mattel's budget for paint and scuplt is so small they can only produce a figure with a detailed paint app. So then it takes away from the overall budget they set aside to make the overall character.
For example, Batista with the detailed tattoos, they couldn't include anything else because it ate the entire budget.

It seems a little odd, I can understand it in the Batista case, that back tattoo eats it up.

Whats dumb is the knee pads are huge and the right elbow pad should be black. And the white should be red...

If you take his vest off, he's also topless. I hear that's a big selling point for people around these parts.

It doesn't say that on the packaging anywhere though...

Did that figure not include a removable dress?

I think it would have made a load of sense to also say "Vest, Shirt, and SPRAY CAN included!" Instead of the pad nonsense.

Did that figure not include a removable dress? Sure did, but the spot on the package along the side that would say what's included just said "FIRST TIME IN THE LINE." It wasn't meant to be a serious post.

I figured it's because it's special elbow pads and knee pads made only for him. I thought they were pretty cool. It's not like it's the only stuff included too.

Budget??
I stopped listening to Bill's budget excuse when we started paying more for figures that no longer included cloth accessories and display stands.
