I'm definitely getting this. It's sad that the only things I have to look forward to is Virgil and Kurt Angle but I'll take whatever I can get.
How's this for irony, the guy that actually wore leg sleeves gets mid-sized knee pads.

Easy buy. I have no other EG (except SDCC Taker) so this will be my first. I hope this doesn't mean the end of DM, but I assume it does.

This would definitely be a perfect line to introduce a WCW Goldberg. Slap the WHC on him and call it a day. There wouldn't be enough to justify making it a DM, but it has just as much value as this Kurt Angle figure.
Not expecting any mind blowing accessories of superstars who have actually had INCREDIBLE entrances like HBK, Undertaker, etc.
If you examine it, Kurt Angle's entrance when he debuted isn't anything to make it a focal point of a figure line for. Still a cool figure and a memorable way of bringing Kurt into the Mattel family.

Not a fan of the Ryback body used for Angle. Pale skintone giant arms small elbow pads ripped thighs with no sculpted singlet painted skintone on the torso
So many things that could be improved

i just knew they wouldn't give him the right skintone. I KNEW IT.
it doesn't look bad. Doesn't look great.
whats up with the proto? Is that a painted singlet on a Bluetista torso?? Cuz the pic on the back looks like a molded singlet? Proto pic on box looks way better

Looks pretty good. I don't really nit pick at things so i will get it and add it to my collection. I don't like the package/box though. Looks way to big

It's definitely not the final product as far as skin tone and molded singlet is concerned. I hope they keep those knee pads though
We're getting a Kurt freaking Angle Mattel Elite. I'm happy.

Is this what happens when they rush a figure? For the amount of kurt angles they will release you'd think they would make sure they sculpt the full singlet? Itll be used enough times to justify it. Those thighs are genuinely horrendous and kurt never had legs like that. He has thick thighs with hardly any definition. I would love to see how mattel works out what sculpt to use on each body part of a figure. Wonder if they are like "well we hardly used those jacked legs and we have loads left over from ryback so let's get our money's worth and stick them on angle!" It's so frustrating because there is genuinely no excuse to do that.
None.

I'm happy. of course its the final product, just like Giant Elsworth is the final product. These arent in proto stage anymore mattels attention to detail has gone to hell, and its certainly not the first or last time they give us painted skin tone. i can live with the crappy parts and painted skin tone or the lack of fladhbacks but not both

I'll be pretty shocked if neither are fixed.

Need closer shots of that head. It actually looks LESS like Kurt than the one that was shown at SDCC.

It's a proto figure in a proto box. It will be fixed up nicely. Cloth ribbons for the medals i'm guessing. Paint, pads will look great. Will get a title shot in my league right away. It's true, it's true. Umm Rusev came with plastic ribbon medal, TJP has a plastic ribbon medal, I think this is it bud

I dont see any tape on the box so Im assuming it was just a quick photo op to get some buzz going.,

So glad this line is back, and what a way to kick it off! Instant buy for me.
