It's easy to get frustrated with Mattel quality control, head sizes etc etc etc these days, but...it could be MUCH worse....and at some points it has been...

Bully Ray, I think. I always liked that Mattel have attention to the scale. It's a big improvement over the Jakks figures.

Who was this supposed to be?? Ii A lot of people loved that bully head at the time....I remember there was a group of people on here who just refused to see the terrible work Jakks was doing with the Tna stuff towards the end. Reusing parts that had no business on certain people (skinny legs Kennedy)(black paint beard Aj) ( gotta poop bully ray face)

I thought that Bully Ray figure was pretty good for a $10 figure. Although that was the point where Jakks had switched to a cheaper plastic. That's why AJ in black tights has a really pale skin tone and those last few waves of TNA figures are super light in weight.
To the point though, I don't believe in giving Mattel a pass just because Jakks, in retrospect, sucked. Mattel set their own standard. There is nothing wrong with holding them to it. In 2010, I got an Entrance Great HBK with logo knee pads. In 2017, HBK never wore knee pads over his tights according to Mattel. Just because I love you, Mattel, doesn't mean I like you all of the time.
Anyone want to defend the shoulders on that Elite 50 Rhyno you paid $20, or more, for... If something looks like sh*t I'm not going to buy it "because Mattel" and I don't think people should be expected to not complain about something just because Jakks figures are inferior in comparison to what Mattel is currently doing. Mattel has been making WWE figures for 7 years. Time to stop holding them to the standard Jakks set a decade ago and start holding them to their own standard of work.

Just because jakks sucked doesn't mean we can't complain about Mattel. Jakks were lower budget and the ra is 15 years old at this point and the DA are 11. Mattel has shown they can do good work. That doesn't mean we give them a pass for crap. You start ignoring the issues and soon you'll have figures akin to their multiverse line, and trust me, you do not want that.

Forgot how awful that gore figure really is. The only good thing about that release is... it comes with the smackdown belt

Such a pointless thread. Why would compare figures from a decade ago to what we have now? Utter nonsense.

I love these threads simply because there's always at least one delusional person still trying to justify Jakks peformance 10+ years after the fact crazy

TNF 4 pack Sting head.... That's all I'll say ...its a 3 pack. Do you own it? Because its not that big. Its his hair. It did sit too low originally, but some cotton fixed that. Also at least that Taker got a tie....still waiting on the one my WM2015 figure shouldve had...or the TNF basic that came with ANOTHER urn....

Everyone knew exactly what I meant. What's it matter if I have it or not? His head is too big. Roughly 20%. That's 1/5th too big on something that is that size, which is extremely noticeable. Why do I always seem to read you trying to correct people based off what your opinion is? If you think his head is fine then think that. I'll think what I want about it as well. End of story.
