Wow that is horrible. The Maryse figure had a similar issue but nowhere near as bad as that.

Hard to tell, but the shorts on the ULTIMATE Rhonda figure appear to be painted on as well

I had this issue with a WrestleMania Heritage Melina figure. The crotch and hip pieces were a different colour/shade to the thighs. Was so annoying.

Why is there a joint in the middle of his lower leg anyway? Get cracking one those Sid Vicious customs, people.

I remember collectors giving that last single elite Jeff Hardy a hard time because of his painted shoulders. That’s one of the rarer figures out there these days.
This Kurt Angle won’t be sought after.

Get cracking one those Sid Vicious customs, people. i thought the exact same thing. apparently it's too much too ask them to remember how they designed every other figure theyve released in the last 8 years that has some kind of short and sneaker/low boot. anyway hideous joint i dont wanna cast aspersions on effort or ability here so it must be that they are all too busy pumping out too much product beyond their capacity to keep good quality. i dont know.

Shocking, QC is getting worse. Mattel need to do something about this. Thats your hard earned money down the drain.

We're officially getting to the point where Lorenzo can start bitching about Bill/Mattel's effort or lack thereof and it being on point.

idk if this is even in the top 5....of things wrong with this figure tbh lol
wrong torso, wrong skintone, wrong shorts color, missing bandage on head.
Really the answer for a lot of things is money. I guess molding in white is always cheaper. But it barely makes sense since the amount of white is so small. Usually when they choose to not mold in a skin color..its because there is more of the other color than there is visible skin.

Yeah I received this figure the other day and man those ankles are absolutely horrible. I have no idea why they even made a joint there. Why not make a joint where the socks end? Absolutely pathetic and ruins quite a good figure - except the horrendous torso choice

It’s the John Cena shoe/lower leg mold but with a new knee piece since Kurt didn’t wear knee pads. The Cena swivel is at the top of the lower leg by the knee pads instead of at the top of the shoe.
