Just got my order of E52 Shamrock from amazon and his trunks and kneepads and boots are all ridiculously pink. Did anyone else get this issue? I could have sworn when I saw the photos his attire was supposed to be red.  |

Also doesn't have "Shamrock" across the front. This looks to be a quality control issue.

I really hate that torso for Shamrock. Yes he was a ripped guy but he was barely 200lbs...why the same torso as Warrior/Triple H

the ringside pics show the same color variance between the robe and the tights/kneepads/boots. you should return it because of the missing deco, but i'm guessing all the figures are gonna be a lighter/brighter/pink red. that's a bummer. mattel & colors  |

Mine is the same color. It's not pink, just an off shade of red. Doesn't bug me too much. I swapped his knee sleeves to black pads which helps it a lot.

Hmmm... now, my OCD is kicking in thanks to some of you guys. I fixed mine up and added the black that was missing on the boots. Then I plan to replace the kneepads and repaint the eyebrows and lips. I think the triple h works for him what sets me off about this figure is that his legs look short for whatever reason. Something just looks off proportion wise. Might also be that his thighs are on kickers too... Did he wear black kneepads with his attire? And does anyone have pics of they're short kneepad fix?

Got mine today, too. It's a bright red, but definitely more red than pink. Also, as others have stated, the lack of a Shamrock logo makes it seem like a QC issue.

Oh wow, return that asap or email Mattel for a voucher. The absence of the word Shamrock is unacceptable.

If mine was to show up with out SHAMROCK written on the trunks, I'd have been so mad. But it was great. I took off those elbow pads and ridiculous leg sleeves. Swapped the kick pads for a pair that was all black until I painted the boots red in the front. I put black electrical tape around the base of his calves up until above the knees and gave him black knee pads. Now he's the Ken Shamrock that fought Bret Hart for the title on the War Zone instead of IYH against Vader. I posted it on the Fix-up page.

Sounds like it could be another situation like the DM Razor Ramon (who was meant to be purple, but ended up a weird pinkish-purple). Not to mention DM Macho Man's purple (should be pink) trunks, lol...

I haven't seen the figure in person yet to judge the color but the logo missing is unacceptable. I do sometimes wonder how does Mattel manages to botch colors so often. They can't even paint blonde hair correctly most of the time lol.

Yeah in 97 Shamrock was 230lbs. The dude was jacked. I don't think any other torso would be any better, looks good on him. And on the topic the scan now that I have it in person is really growing on me! |
