The yellow winged eagle was one of the biggest gripes in the first 2 years of Mattel figures. And Mattel absolutely knew that. How hard was it to make a yellow IC strap.... Easy had they given a crap. Just bung in that old crappy winged eagle we've used countless times and the sheep will lap it up! First Warrior I'm not buying

Dammit axe, you had me fooled lol
I am going to guess the reason we didn't get the yellow I.c title is because they need to send things from china back to America for samples so they know they have the right color etc... Even though I'm sure a picture would work but I'm going to get that's the procedure and there was either no time or no budget for this.

MattelDesignTeam wrote on 7/13/2016 at 4:52pm: "I don't know why Warrior has the black title. It will actually be the yellow IC. Michaels will have kneepads and chest hair, Kamala will have a running change facepaint to differ from the original, and Magnum will not have heavyweight thighs with Akeem boots." Oh wait... That would never happen. i thought this was real for a second I did too, but then I realized they're just lame AF. Bill has come on here and announced changes before.

But they had the budget for Kamala in all his glory, a very obscure name who'll probably sit around untouched at retail

We all knew these would be re-release figures. MattelDesignTeam said Jericho would have new paint apps and Magnum was "new". I'll pick up Jericho and Magnum TA. Love Magnums packaging. Anyway we could get all flashbacks like that? That'd be the best. I might pick up another Kamala just because mine had loose ankles and I'd like to have a back up because it's one of my favorite figures ever.

Well, we knew a post match Warrior will never happen because Bill said way back when the Legends line was out they wouldn't ever make any post match Warrior figures.(missing face paint) so I don't see why anyone would believe they would now especially when he said the figures themselves were going to be straight rereleases except for Jericho (new deco) and Magnum (slightly different). As for the title just be happy we are getting a title. As that was something many were complaining the DM Sting didn't have. And your argument of Warrior not looking like that when he had the title was the same argument reversed that people were using against Sting not having a title. Meaning they didn't care that he didn't have the title at the start of the match when he came out.

Copyright issues is my guess. Most of Jerocho's tattoos are of trademarked images.

I love that Kamala figure. So tempted to just buy the original off of eBay right now.

I wish everyone would stop complaining about Jericho not having all his tattoos.

Undertaker and HBK are immediate pick ups in my book. Warrior and Magnum will have to wait until I have a few extra bucks and I'm figure hunting.

I had high hopes for this rerelease, foolishly thinking that Mattel might correct their ridiculous choice the first time around. All it is a yellow strap, the rest is done already. a straight up rerelease should have at VERY LEAST came with the Yellow IC, NOT this black Winged Eagle. As I said, Im not buying it

I wish warriors belt was yellow. At the end of the day for people who missed these figs it's a solid set. For those that already have them, not so much.
