It doesn't fit the "moment" so to speak, but I certainly wouldn't complain if they did include it. Like they've ever really cared about accurately matching the figure to the moment. Pretty sure he didn't wear two shirts during his debut either. Did Stone Cold ever hold the Smoking Skull, Big Eagle, and Winged Eagle simultaneously? And Cena did not wear a generic 54 jersey, black knucks, or WW Word Life boxers at Summerslam 2004. Hell, they're not even accurate with their moment description. That was match 1 of 5, so no way did he clinch the series then. Oh no doubt there. Here goes me expecting things to be the way they're supposed to be. LOL I try not to complain constantly about what Mattel does, as I hear some people that complain constantly and it has me wondering why they even buy figures. But THIS here does bother the hell outta me. If you are going to base a figure of a specific look, match, or time period then it should be RIGHT. Plain and simple. But yeah, you are exactly right though.

But yeah, you are exactly right though. Always felt like they need to rebrand the series. Call it Elite Deluxe or something and just have it be a series where you get cloth goods, extra accessories, and/or extra deco you wouldn't expect for a regular elite. Avoid tying it to a "moment" so you don't have to make sure the accessories are accurate.

How are people complaining about the face? Nakamura always looks like he's having a stroke when he comes to the ring. The face looks just like him

the face just doesnt look like him, hopefully they release a better one on a basic down the road so I can do a head swap.
