Lost Legends better or worse than the originals?

I don't have them all to compare but I'd say quality is slightly worse. Looser joints etc

Shawn Michaels hearts are painted much better and his gloves are slightly shorter. But his boots are missing the silver strip on the toes, so those are less accurate than the original. Also, his arm piece accessory is a dull silver this time around, instead of shiny.

Undertaker's gloves are not ing blue this time around. Much better purple coat. However, as some of you may know, Mattel has decided to remove the spacer in the torso to save money. In some cases, it doesn't affect much. In this case, it's awful. All Lost Legend Undertakers have a loose waist. Also, the tie has less contrast than the one that came with Elite 23. Finally, Undertaker's coat is a piece of shyt. It's much harder to take off because the sleeves are spread apart from the waist more than the Elite 23 version.

Ultimate Warrior's chest paint and wristband/tassle color order are a little different.

Kamala seems fine, but I didn't have an original to compare to.

ALL of them have worse QC than their original counterparts. The originals had tight joints and very little paint mishaps. Can't say that about the Lost Legends I have purchased so far. Examples include the following (from my figures):

1) Again, all Undertakers have a loose waist and my Undertaker specifically has a loose head as well. The tie doesn't look as good. And the coat is ass cancer.

2) Shawn Michaels has paint mishaps on two of his hearts and his left eye has a big white spot

3) Warrior has a loose waist and feet don't stand well.

4) Kamala has distracting paint mishaps. I swear it's a luck of the draw to get a well-painted Mattel figure with tight joints these days with their QC.

I never had these issues with any Mattel figures from 2010-2013. Such is the nature of a growing beast I suppose.

Well warrior is sweet and especially due to its insane price drop

I just wished for re-releases, Mattel changes it up with a different headscan or something minor like giving Warrior yellow strap IC belt since we didn't get that one. Stop being lazy!

What a concise and eloquent response!

Shawn & Taker are better, Kamala is exactly the same, and Warrior is worse

At the expense of the actual figure. We get Winged Eagles all the time

Original has better tassels and the armbands aren't painted piss poor

From the start everyone was psyched about these (mostly) worthwhile re-releases. But now they're all bruce willis'd up. This is a shame and this sloppy series is kind of a slap in the face. A little one but still... I mean should we all say thanks for loose, poorly painted, half-assed corrected, little things forgotten about figures?

Another question to ask is - how many of you are happy with your re-release purchases? Other than just finally having these figs that is. Look at speaktomewarriors' sig. THAT'S how the re-released warrior should have looked like moc. Screw the repainting (cuz he still wobbles all over the place so screw literally fixing the figure), what the fig really lacked was both belts or at least the correct yellow strapped ic belt. That's it. THAT'S what everyone complained about most - the wrong f'n belt. That's all that had to be fixed if they weren't gonna bother making him not wobble (and like EVERY part of mine wobbles).

I've got a movie to make
Knock me down on the canvas
You're the champion today"
