“hI My nAme iS maTteL buT u wUd tHinK iM JakKs” Seriously, what the hell is this all about?    Like I get you wanna paint elbow tape instead of giving pads now, whatever, but when has Sami, Jinder, or Bayley ever wrestled without tape? Bunch of idiots working for giant corporations. Sorry but while everyone complains about not getting this person or that attire I have some real complaints about crap that is ACTAULLY produced.... |

Elite Heath Slater was without wrist tape too. The Sami one definitely bugs me

I'm just waiting for when they start forgetting to apply decals on the backs of the figures...

Glad i'm not the only one majorly bothered by this. It just ruins a figure when they pull crap like this, i might have actually bought that Sami Zayn if he had wrist tape. When has Jinder ever wrestled without wrist tape? So why leave it off. Even worse, they threw elbow pads on him, which he doesn't even wear.... Bill oversees the Elite line right? So how does he look at that Zayn and think "Perfect", and whoever does these Basics should've been fired a long time ago. It's sad because Mattel is taking the exact same route Jakks did - Cheap out more and more after doing the figures for years. Like mentioned above, they're inevitably going to start leaving decals off and not even bothering to make them look good, resulting in plain black everything. Even worse, they'll probably still advertise them with the full decals and designs on just like Jakks did. Give us about 1 year and we'll probably have figures looking like this HBK.  |

Started with leaving off elbow pads, then knee pads. Now painted details are beginning to be skipped. Add the removal of most of the articulation on basic figures. Where do we go next?

Thankfully it’s not that bad yet, but it’s a slippery slope we’re on despite alternate heads and hands.

well they are not missing, these figures supposedly represent the wrestlers backstage at Gorilla Position when they are talking with their agents going through the match, wrist tape is the last thing they put on.

Painted wrist tape looks like butt to me, that's why it doesn't bother me if a figure does/doesn't have it because it looks much better if I just add real tape myself.
Head to the pinstriping section of your local art store, they have lots of really narrow tape there.
Alternately, get some masking tape and cut the strips yourself.
