It needs smaller arms and the bottom of the singlet needs to be from the HOF 4 pack perfect so that its not painted on and it still gives Angle correct height.

You want Kurt Angle figure you've been complaining about wanting for years ? Well here you go, ohh you don't like the $30 price tag or something else with the figure itself ?? I wish there was a love button for this! What does the box size matter if you unboxed him?

This is all foreign to me. Because I can honestly say I have never once gotten a figure and complained about the box being too big. I rip that mofo open and throw it in the trash.
I got mine today, and yes, it's a lil big. But it's not too ridiculous for it to bother me. I personally LOVE the head sculpt. I think it's perfect. The painted thighs do bother me though.

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. good to tell us the 80th time in row big poppa Gladly The figure sucks.

I'm hoping this was a cashgrab at best and not interfere with future releases. Same thing with the main event ring Goldberg. It's like stated above the illusion of it being the first Mattel angle distracts people from what it's really lacking or what could of been. The Bret torso works much better for that singlet because the straps were closer to one another as opposed to the regular ryback singlet. The arms are too chiseled... Warrior and Batista that mold works well for, but singlet Sting and Angle? Nope... My biggest gripe is that they did not bother to use the molded singlet tights they already have or make a new one, but rather cheapen out by painting on those roided legs. I'm wondering if the box takes away from the overall budget of the figure or if it's seperate, if so I'd take a more minimalistic box for better part choices or unique ones. The music gimmick thing also not something I'm into. I'll be passing and hope we see a better angle with unique part choices. It's Kurt freakin angle for god's sake. Not saying these figures have to be perfect, but lately Mattel has been cheapening out a lot and missing the mark with some questionable part choices. If the sdcc undertaker could be perfection why can't this?

So just like the 100 goldberg ring set, i am not going to buy it. Maybe when ringside or amazon marks the price down I will consider this angle figure.

I'm guessing he's counting Goldberg as equalling $30+ and the ring as $70+ for a combined $100+ Forgot to show another angle gripe: the chipping/smeared paint on the back. Painted torsos are garbage:

That chipping and smearing is woeful. So the shoulder and torso colour still do not match, a shame. In the UK this is a $45 figure.

Good job with the purchase, man. It's a cool figure. As long as you like it, then that's all that matters. What's not to like? I definitely see your reflection on the excessive, unnecessary enlarging of the packaging however. Eff dat! I had to go into my "collectors room" to take a picture because this reminds me so much of time jakks did this with him and other figures: Funny enough, all the boom boxes still play.

I went down a very expensive path buying up SH Figuarts and Figma figures for a little while, and when those were hits, boy we're they hits. Some of my best figures. But then other times I got them and they were highly disappointing. $50-$80 is very expensive to be disappointed. So I basically stopped all my premium lines except for Storm Collectibles Street Fighter which are worth every penny and so excellent. I think this figure looks fine for the price.

The figure is fine. Angle was in great shape back in 1999 when he came in. I personally like the bigger box because it makes the figure feel special. My only complaint would be that the hair is a shade too light. Angle did have lighter hair for his debut, but this is just slightly a shade too light.
