I got a lot of gripes with the angle figure Box in hand with the music it's awesome. And the figure is fine for now I have a big gripe though with the oversized packaging and all the waste created. The whole life cycle of this packaging is unnecessarily extra wasteful and ultimately harmful on a lot of levels. Hoping Mattel can downsize going forward       And since I'm here: Greenish hair Painted torso Painted tights on legs Ridiculous legs triple h arms/hands But ya fine the total figure is too fun not to buy |

Agreed.
Something about this figure is 'off' when it comes to likeness

The figure is a $12 figure, you’re all paying a massive premium for the box

Except it's not even that good. Kurt was barely larger than Benoit in 2000

Again, large box is for accoustics.

The only thing about the figure I am not feeling is the arms. They are too big/ripped for Angle. But I do think the CM Punk/Bryan arms are to small. Maybe the Sheamus/Rock arms would have been a better choice? Other than that I don't have an issue. The head scan/sculpt looks fantastic. The torso is OK because he was bigger/wider than Bryan/Punk/Jericho and the Hitman torso is basically that in a singlet. Sure he wasn't bigger than Ryback, but the Ryback and Warrior figures in the singlets were to small. They should have been more the size of the Batista/GAB Sting torso with a singlet. Maybe they could have used the Wolfpac Sting torso or the HOF Sting torso for Angle, but the cut of the singlet would be wrong. I don't mind the one they used.

Again, large box is for accoustics. First I've heard of it. And that makes zero sense to me. The music stand in any box would sound like crap And even if a huge box enhances the quality (lol) not worth the cost of materials, production, environmental impact |

PJ I agree re: torso the other singlet torsos are too small and angle was a thick wrestler. He just didn't have those insane legs or arms those e19 ziggler arms wouldve been good. those arms actually should be used on like 75% of mattels figures

Some of you were paying $100+ for a the main event ring, just for the Goldberg figure.
$30 for a figure you’ve been clamoring for shouldn’t cause an uproar.
The large box is for acoustics, as said above..also might have certain standards to follow when including a base like that.

"Oh what's that? You want a Kurt Angle? Sure thing. Oh, you're picking a minute detail most (if not all) won't notice or care to notice" the arms are fine the body proportions are fine and the facial sculpt is fine as well    |

If someone posted that figure in the customs section you'd say it was a good custom. No more, no less. There is customs made by guys in here that are twice the figure this is. Mattel dropped the ball massively with this.
They scanned buzz lightyear, used left over ryback torsos although I'm pretty sure they didn't even paint rybacks skintone like they did with kurt.
Green hair.
Painted singlet on legs.
Massive arms for some reason.
Huge price tag and not even a decent accessory.

Yeah that hair is the only thing I'm not into, just have been a weird mix at the factory. I'll still get this but I'll wait for a sale or discount.

That figure is a HUGE miss. I think the only reason people are hyped about it is because it’s Kurt’s first Mattel Figure and the reboot of the EG line. The face is wayyyyy off. I’ve seen better Kurt scans that Jakks have done. The hair is a nasty, puke-green color. He’s way too jacked. While Kurt was always in great shape, he was never as big as Triple H, or Roman Reigns, which is the exact torso he has.
That figure gets a solid Bret Hart 4/10.

This figure is a huge bummer. Luckily we’ll get a ton more.
