 First time seeing this guy at retail..found him at walmart and they are having a sale where basics are $7.44. Was looking for Becky but I've been on the look out for Baron too. Plus under 10 bucks hell of a pick up. Mattel put some awesome effort into this one..sculpted parts on his pants and belt buckle keep this up mattel! Plus a really good head scan here. Def a must have. Can't wait til he gets an elite though but this basic is for sure worth owning. |

 His belly button isn't wide enough. For shame MDT, for shame. Also, for real though, his chest tattoo is too small, usually Mattel gets that stuff right. |

Yeah they messed up on the size of his tattoo and that belly button for sure haha. But its a solid basic I give them credit for acutally SCULPTING the belt and the stitching on his pants instead of taking the easy way out and just painting it on.

i think maybe because they wanted to avoid putting the star part of his tattoo on the ball part of the shoulder piece? that they scaled it down, I am leaning towards them having to make a choice and choosing to scale the tattoo down for a simpler resort, and…what are they going to keep the same when they do an elite(assuming they do) but i could live with this being the only Corbin figure they do, and or for a while, but I like him a lot a and this figure a lot, so make more, battle pack wise, etc.

His belly button isn't wide enough. For shame MDT, for shame. Also, for real though, his chest tattoo is too small, usually Mattel gets that stuff right. That's not the first time they've fudged the size of a chest tattoo to avoid it going across the shoulders, is it? I feel like it's something that's been repeated a few times across the line, though I can't think of other specifics. I'm hoping they do something different with his elite. |

I passed on two of him today at a WalMart. Maybe I will get his Elite when it is made.

I usually quite laid back about little missing details, inaccurate details etc but dear GAWD Mattel messed up his chest tattoo something fierce.

With the skill and detailing they do on shoulders and arms as it is, I don't think it would be an issue? |

I don't collect basics, but this would have been one of the few exceptions I make had it not been for the tattoo mess up.

[snip] His belly button isn't wide enough. For shame MDT, for shame. Also, for real though, his chest tattoo is too small, usually Mattel gets that stuff right. He also isn't incredibly out of shape enough, they were way to generous with his torso choice His problem is not that he's out of shape, it's that he used to be a big fat offensive lineman and he has excess skin that isn't ever going to look like abs unless he has some reconstructive surgery.  |
