I miss toybiz TNA figures and marvel legends, it's a shame they never got to release that amazing looking Kurt Angle

What happened with that head? I thought it was a decent representation. At the time, only one prototype shot of E39 Sting had leaked out and the perspective of the photo made the Sting head look squished, combined with the fact that many people were pissed they released the first modern Elite Sting in a t-shirt instead of his singlet top. Many people jumped the gun with the judgements on the head and a couple of them took it beyond constructive criticism and ended up insulting Bill's work ethic in the process. He ended up disappearing for a few months because of those 2-3 people who took it too far. The head turned out to be completely fine. The arms on this Ryhno are truly an abomination though. Oh okay. I was confused! I thought that head was great. I agree with the shirt issue. While I liked the figure, I wish he was HOF 4 with a cloth shirt. Don't have Rhyno yet but from what I can tell, these arms/shoulders are very odd.

These Rhyno Threads are getting out of hand now. MDT is gonna be driven away again because of this. Remember when he "Left" for awhile over the hatred over the E39 Sting head? What happened with that head? I thought it was a decent representation. one member on here who I shall not name complained about the proto head and how it didn't sit on the body right

the shoulders and arms arent the problem. the problem is about 15 years ago toybiz was making way better figures for way less money. even with inflation it wouldnt be what it is now for this stuff. when mattel took over and put out figures everything spiked by ten dollars immediately.

Rusev Shoulders with Rhyno arms this exactly

Orange is the new black, and Elite 50 Rhyno is the new Elite 39 Sting!
And by the way, the Toy Biz TNA Rhyno is a good figure, The 2-pack that came with Christian Cage has a better head that doesn't sit so high on the neck. The singlet design is blue instead of red, also.
If it wasn't for that damn SD Tag Title, I'd just keep using my Toy Biz figure.

Different isn't always better. There are ways to make unique figures without making them look odd.

I'm new here and all I see are complaints after complaints. Then what real kills me is when you guys still buy the damn thing you're complaining about and get even more upset. A discussion is a 2 way street. Not a crap on everything fest. Also you have 2 key players from mattel who are brave enough to come on here and have to navigate through all your poorly expressed opinions. Not one single other forum I belong to has people who make the product on it. "Discuss the product" be real. If you all hate it so much move on!!

We're lucky that MDT didn't delete their account here

I originally posted this in the Other Brands forum because I was more interested in the Toybiz comparison part of the discussion, which it mostly has spiraled away from.
Too bad. There's a lot of guys on here who really liked their lines.
As for the complaints about the figure, I'd rather have this then just giving him the same parts 90% of figures have and making him look like some kind of default boring sculpt with a half-decent Rhyno head...this version of him sticks out well.
Though it is kinda cool to see a Rhyno figure get this much attention, negative or positive.

Take the hair and beard off and the Rhyno face scan actually looks like Bill.
