I'm looking at the tights from a match in 1989 and some promo pictures and i'm really not understanding what Mattel was going for. The tights had a completely different rip pattern, much larger than the little rips they put on the side of the tights.    Maybe i'm a little crazy for hoping they could recreate some of these crazy tights, but i'm still a bit disappointed. The figure lacks the wild pantyhose look the character had, with just two small patches on the sides of his tights. One whole side of these tights with cut out! Unless one of you has a match with the same tights and similar tears? I feel like going by promo pictures doesn't always cut it, that's how we end up with obscure or inaccurate attires. Plenty of Big 4 PPVs and SNMEs to look for a standout match from a guys run. |

Looks spot on to me I mean the way the tights are ripped. These tights were shredded and had a different look entirely than the little patches of rips Mattel gave him. |

Why must we obsess over every little detail?

I have no idea, but I'm wondering does anyone else think that Brutus would make a good Hogan base? Minus the height of course.

Jesus, every thread on the Mattel board consists of 2 things. Stupid, pointless nonsense polls or...

Arguably the best flashback of the year so far. I don't see a single problem with it. I'm hoping we a dream team version as good as this one.

Nothing wrong with the tights. If I had to nitpick, the box says attire is November 89, but his hair was shorter in November. Macho cut it right after Mania 5. Watch Survivor Series 89 and see his hair is shorter. But the fig matches the promo pic, from Spring 89, perfectly.

I honestly thought when I clicked on this it was going to be something like the zebra stripe pattern on his pants don't match the exact way they were on his actual tights.

here's the post where i found the exact attire in a match forum.wrestlingfigs.com/post/8112134In the match u can see the rip on his left leg is smaller than the one on the right leg. also...obviously the issue is the way the figures are made. The knee joint is right below it...and the thigh swivel is right above it. The only solution would've been to create completely new legs |
