I love when I see ppl say stuff like "it looks awful but I'll buy it anyway" that's why mattel will still continue to do stuff like this because ppl will buy it anyway despite the fact that it's awful

I'm ok with the original Big E body but very disappointed in the shoulders. He's got big arms but it just comes across as very disproportional. I'll probably end up getting 2 and try a shoulder and arm swap on one of them.

Did some experimenting last night and think the Rusev shoulders with Rhyno arms may be the way out to preserve his tats.

Minus the huge arms and the torso painted, this is a solid looking figure.
Shouldn't HAVE to do an arm swap, but a good swap will make this figure great.

I'm really disappointed with this figure. It looks terrible. Definitely a pass for me. I hope Mattel sort it out and release a flashback elite with all the right parts.

I know we all collect figures and what not. Hell I will be the first person to raise my hand to say yes I collect wrestling figures. But for everyone who sometime just can't get over things
THEY ARE TOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They don't have to be perfect.
I would of loved some of you babies who complain about every little thing when there was LJN, Hasbro, or Jakks BCA figures. Just stop

I agree with all the gripes here, but for some reason i can't hate this rhyno. i like how batsh*t crazy it is. i wish all mattels were slightly more pumped up. of course this rhyno is that to the extreme. but i like taking this huge figure and goring other figures. edit: but ya theres a lot of money involved here so MDT i think should take a little better care in choosing their best parts possible.

Shorter legs, smaller arms/shoulders and more of a thicker waist and this fig would have been fine.

Would a basic rusev shoulders work on elite rhyno? I could def score a basic cheap enough to justify it. If you switch out the rusev shoulders id love to see it

Here's a pic. Sorry it took so long to upload. Question. Cracking the torso has caused the ab crunch and the waist swivel to be super loose. How can I fix that? if you threw some of the cruiserweight arms (ala ambrose/rvd) on him it'd be perfect. His arms are still too big. That's my issue with this figure. Besides the torso, if they gave him smaller shoulders then you could at least add those arms without it looking ridiculous

Just stop the difference is that toys have come a long way since then and Mattel has shone that they can put out a great figure. Many wanted a rhyno and this might be his only release. If you look at this figure and think there's nothing wrong with it, then you need your eyes adjusted. Mattel is a company and if the fan base is disappointed by a product then they have every right to voice their displeasure.

Whos that guy?! Rhyno is a horrible and awful presentation by Mattel. This figure looks like it was actually made by Marvel when they were making TNA figures. I see something awesome like Shane in E50 or Corbin in E50 or even Enzo in E49...and then this?! Its truly a disgrace. I understand budgets, but there has to be a measure of quality control. As a business owner, I wont allow a piece of crap to represent my company. Its unacceptable. that's an understatement as Marvel's TNA figures are usually pretty decent to really good not to mention it's the shoulders, that's what throwing people off; if the shoulders were tinier, then it'd be a better-received figure Marvel had a few great ones. I think their Christian figure might be the best Christian of all time. Joe was solid. Chase was good. Daniels was good. But they also had some weird shoulder joints for figures. Thats what made me use that comparison.

So, I was thinking about this earlier, and I think part of the problem is that Rhyno is just a funny shaped dude. Look at him. He's like 75% torso, and im not sure there's a mold for that. Also, his run probably isn't gonna be that long, so there may not be much point in doing a mold just for him. So you're left with some pretty interesting challenges to provide customers with a quality figure without cost overruns. I think, all things considered, its not too bad. MAybe shorter arms would've been better, but all in all it was pretty good.

It's just me, but I think this figure would of looked fantastic with a set of Brock lesnar arms. I'm not surprised at all with the decisions made, just look at surfer Sting, how they cheap out on painting sting's flesh tone, have his crow figures in accurate boots and AJ has a painted belt rather than a molded one like Evan Bourne. I feel one thing that Mattel could vastly improve on is short guys. They literally give them all the same thin legs and torsos, Daniels, AJ, Neville... I think these guys could benefit from unique torsos or or at the very least thicker legs and bigger torsos.
