No matter the product you're purchasing, money is money and you expect to get what you're paying for. It's like the whole Big Mac thing. You're expecting to get this glorious burger they show on the menu but you get something else. I gotta add that kids nowadays don't know the value of a dollar. I used to work for 6.85 an hour and these lil bastards get 12$ and they get upset when asked to do their jobs LOL It's just all messed up. I want what I PAID FOR. You can't erase that just yet - I ain't THAT OLD. The cost of living in proportion to those wages have not remained the same. I don't know what year you were making $6.85, but if you go back to 1990 or so, that amount is about $12-$13 in today's money. But most things cost so much more, so people are effectively getting less for their $12 in 2017 than someone was getting with their $6.85 in 1990.

IMO, The DM Taker is close enough to this one that they didn't have to make this one. Or, if they absolutely had to make this one; at least don't make it this close to the DM one. Make it sometime down the road. But that's just my opinion.

But he didn't that hair and beard style in 1997/1998. You're confused lol the spotlight figure is based off his ministry look, hence the robe. The taker you're referring to was released as a basic, which sucks. But this spotlight figure is actually 100% accurate Not 100%. His boots shouldn't have laces.

Now it's 10. I guarantee no one's pay scaled 100% compared to that. People always seem to forget about inflation. I've worked minimum wage in states with low minimum wages and minimum wage in states with high minimum wages. You can't live comfortably on your own with min wage. It rarely increases and cost of living always out paces it. Yeah, my COL was lower in the south for housing, but the same thing at a Target in a higher COL area will cost the same in a lower COL area because it's a national chain. I'm not sure what my point is. Just agreeing with you. I digres...

But you're right the boots are off.

But this body with the original dm head (different hair maybe) would be perfect.
I think the ss/e23 head is too skinny

Because we're consumers who are passionate about a product and thus have unrealistic expectations that are easily dashed causing anguish and rage. No matter the product you're purchasing, money is money and you expect to get what you're paying for. It's like the whole Big Mac thing. You're expecting to get this glorious burger they show on the menu but you get something else. This idea works.. But you can see these things before buying them. You cant hold a big mac and choose to buy it or not

This attire and head stands out to me because it reminds me of the time Taker lit Stephanie's teddy bear on fire in front of Vince on Raw At least I think he just had the chin part of the goatee then Either way I don't mind the choice they made I just wish the boots were right Mattel needs a tall laceless boot mold anyway

Make it sometime down the road. But that's just my opinion. With all due respect, I disagree 100 percent. In my eyes, this attire is the definitive look for the undertaker for the attitude era and I believe most people will agree (minus the head sculpt used). I know that it's not ideal to do a head swap, but if you do, this is the figure a lot of us have been waiting for.
