-- The gear is spot on. But an [nWo] Hollywood tanker?
Is this a rib or joke from Mattel or something...?
I mean [nWo] Wolfpack tank tops exist (thanks to the Nash & Sting releases)... so what's the deal here?

It's from before the wolfpack. It's his outsiders outfit from bash at the beach. NWO shirt still isn't really relevant, but the black and white makes a little more sense than red and black. At least I have one for my curt henning figure now.

You're acting like he only wore that red drip attire while he was in the wolfpac or something

This was what lead to Hall's drunk angle. This is meant to be more of a 1996-1997 look. The RSC Exclusive we got in white and black was Hall's look during the nWo Wolfpac run.

Outsiders first gear was all red. That's what this was based upon. He wrestled in red gear even while the nWo shirt was white. This is a rare case where Mattel didn't just kayfabe an attire that didn't exist....they got it right.
The only thing people should be complaining about is the ponytail head. Hall had his hair down the entire time, entrance included, at Bash at the Beach 96.

If only there were 2 Razor Ramons, an elite Hall, and 2 basic battlepack Halls with hair down that could be swapped. I prefer doing that than waiting forever or never for the new sculpt to be released.

Hall had his hair down the entire time, entrance included, at Bash at the Beach 96. Theres enough complaining without suggestion more I'm not complaining at all, I think it's a sick figure. I'm just saying the attire is accurate. The head isn't even a deal breaker, throw a Razor head on there and it's good to go, unless somebody is triggered by the hair curl? I'm just going to leave the ponytail head on, anyway. It doesn't really bother me. I do hope in the future we do get some different Hall figures. This one was obviously made for the cancelled in America Target 4-Pack where Hall was supposed to be in street gear, as that's when he always rocked the ponytail....Mattel probably just wanted to get the head out in America so they went with it. Not really a big deal, honestly.

I actually switched the black & white Nwo shirt with a red & black one when I got this, just to make it seem a little more Wolfpac.

Hall had his hair down the entire time, entrance included, at Bash at the Beach 96. ...yeah, that's a strange oversight by Mattel - I think they just wanted to use that new Hall head (from the HOF 4-pack). All this could have been avoided though if they'd just said the attire was "circa 1996", rather than specifically Bash At The Beach 1996.

I think they just wanted to get out the cancelled 4-pack head in America and this was really the best option. If not now on this figure, it could really be a while before the next Scott Hall figure comes along. I think Mattel made the right call on this one.

I actually think the shirt i's cool, I'm going to cut off a bit of the sides and neck area to make it more accurate. Now, I just want Mattel to create a Syxx with the six ball shirt.

My Hall is going to have the vest on so I don't care if the shirt is Hollywood or Wolfpac
