Hey,
I was under the impression that the Patterson figure coming out had an 80s head, trunks like he wore when he won the IC title in 80.
All I see is his older face from the attitude era stuff. Did they change it? Did I dream it up? What?
Is his figure wearing wrestling gear under the cloth? Is there an extra head or did that get scrapped?

Extra head got scrapped, I believe he has purple trunks but they might be a different color

Doesn't look like there's an extra head
Tights are yellow in the front, brown in the back

I’m glad that they chose to stick with the stooge version

He's kind of useless without purple trunks and a young sculpt. The Stooge run was awful. Too bad if it was before Hulkamania, it's irrelevant to Mattel.

I don't get the appeal of the figure
The 'flashback' to the IC era is non existent - it's stooge era Patterson in trunks
Plus not disregarding his status as first champ but why I admire and respect him is his work as creative/agent etc as that's his forte - creating the rumble is his biggest accomplishment imo

very interesting that they are using the iron sheik torso for him too; we saw a render of Greg Valentine using Sheiky's torso as well. I think it's great.
After L2 & CTT1 Sheik came out, they stopped using that mold for years and years, even when guys like Rick Martel and Tatanka, even Hulk Hogan would have benefited from it. I've since customized my Tatanka and Hogan to use that torso, but can't for Martel because their is no wider fuchsia-coloured trunks in the parts library.

Personally I’m happy they stuck with the Stooge gear. Definitely biased to that era but I prefer to have him in my Attitude Era collection. Actually just had my offer accepted on eBay for him and I can’t wait to get the figure.

The second head was also based on Stooge Patterson. It was the facial expression that's on the back of the box.
I wish they would have included it instead of that stupid helmet...and given Brisco the Hardcore Title.

I do want this fig and will buy (if I ever see it), but it really would have been great if it had two heads. Its just a stooge version in trunks.. its weird.
