There are MOC pics on Instagram of HOC Johnny Gargano and all I can say is what was mattel thinking with this one? The kick pad to knee pad ratio is WAY off and might be one of the worst I have ever seen. The arms also look way too big. I don’t get why they didn’t just give him Daniel Bryan parts with a Gargano head. It would certainly be better than this figure since they are about the same height.
I’m glad mattel fixed Ron Simmons but there is no excuse for the Johnny Gargano figure to be this bad.

Yeah, the huge gap between the boots and knee pads make for a big eye sore on the figure. Which sucks because ciampa looks great.

Worse than the revival elites. Small torso small legs balloon head. AWFUL KICKPADS. Wtf was Mattel thinking. They had it semi right first with the Seth Rollins torso but they f’d it up. Same with Tomasso. Funny that Ellsworth has thicker legs than Gargano

But it isn’t a surprise we knew what it looked like for a while now.

I also believe that the tattoo was added to the Walmart Exclusive Flashback HBK based on the pictures I’ve seen. The original didn’t have the tattoo.

I'm mainly after Ron Simmons from this set, but I agree that Gargano's pads look off. Still might get him and Ciampa if I see them but Simmons is my top priority

So has the ability of including images on a post been disabled or something? Come on, too many posts on here are made talking about a figure that has not been seen a lot of, and then there's no pic. Makes me think you're making it up for clickbait. I saw lock threads like this if an image is not quickly posted...

Just glad to be getting a Johnny Wrestling elite Same here the only thing that I would really have changed would be the kneepads. I think it's a cool figure.

I was thinking about just changing the calves to all black ones. Not ideal, but better than the gap.

The same could be said for the new elite Sting. Mattel has heard our complaints about the last surfer Stings. They’ve been able to fix Ron Simmons so there’s no excuse. The majority of people here have used the Austin torso, thick Ziggler legs and the figure looked 10x better. It’s not really a hard recipe. The rubber jacket is what it is for now, but I’ll I want Mattel to do is be consistent with their Stings. Most if not all have inaccuracies.

Yeah that looked like trash from the very first proto we saw. They need to hire some people who have functioning eyeballs to stop stuff like that from being produced. I'm hoping the old calves that have the upper part of the kickpad may work as a fix.

So are these stolen samples from China or did he legitimately buy them at Target?
