I built my own Heenan in a singlet ,Used a Lawler as the base figure and converted the ratchet hips to ball joints and put on regular legs .This is just an epic fail .

IIRC I think in the Ask thread it was mentioned and the excuse was a mistake in China that they asked to be fixed but it was too late.

It’s literally a Jerry Lawler elite with a Heenan head

How did you get the suit off without tearing it? Its on there pretty snug. This is how I will display him with the suit open in the front. I do wish they had gone with red sparkle jacket and bow tie like Prime time wrestling. Shiny purple jacket with back v neck shirt heenan is a good look too. I was about to ask if anyone had as much trouble taking off and putting on the weasel suit. That thing is TIGHT! I thought it would be like a Honky Tonk Man suit that goes on and off somewhat easy. Im thinking of getting a second one for figure photography and it will be a pain in the butt to dress and undress.

I think the figure is stupid anyways That's a shame. They really need someone to look over every figure to make sure little things like this doesn't happen. It's not going to bother me much as I'm keeping the figure MOC and he will be shown in the weasel suit. Sadly, I doubt anyone cares. They probably thought the figure was not meant to be displayed without the weasel suit. True, but it's not just about this figure, there always seems to be an issue with a figure or two each wave.

Ha that is ridiculous, OP is dead on. It’d make for a great Lawler custom if anyone were to paint it up and swap with Lawler head. Though not sure if the height is right and with the upcoming Lawler coming out, would be kind of a waste.

What parts would be best to change it?

What parts would be best to change it? Really need to change the whole leg, but you probably could just swap the knees and shins and get away with it.

Now I’m I really confused as to why this is double packed instead of valentine. I was thinking of getting a second for a custom but I guess not

I was thinking of getting a second for a custom but I guess not It’s double packed because more people care about Heenan than Valentine. This board doesn’t seem to get that no one gaf about Greg Valentine other than the people on this board and the scalpers that want to rip off the people on this board who want Valentine

If they cared about the figure they would have resculpted the head and hair. His hair should look disheveled, his face angry and incredulous that he's dressed as a weasel. His body should have been flabbier all over.

The custom I made a couple years back used the E18 Lawler torso and the E20(?) Cody hips and legs IIRC I think in the Ask thread it was mentioned and the excuse was a mistake in China that they asked to be fixed but it was too late. Yeah I asked Steve and he said they caught it early and sent a request for China to correct it, but clearly China didn’t do it.

This board doesn’t seem to get that no one gaf about Greg Valentine other than the people on this board and the scalpers that want to rip off the people on this board who want Valentine What’s not to get, his preorder sold out first, as well as a first time in the line figure and he has a chase. No need to bash on members on here who have been waiting for a figure of his. While I agree Heenan is much more popular I feel his figure could have been used with or without the weasel suit. With people acknowledging that mattel had a heads up on the error and it still wasn’t corrected and then still double packed was a bit confusing to me and I guess I’m a bit worried it might clog the pegs for series 8. But the fact that mattel continues to make mistakes like this shouldn’t confuse me by this point.

I think Valentine's legs look just as bad. At least Bobby's legs can be hidden with the suit.

There’s going to be a bunch of them returned or on eBay when the people who didn’t get lucky have to decide what to do with their extra one

Go learn some history before spouting off about who is more popular. You likely were not even alive when Greg Valentine was in his prime, so how the heck would you know how many people want a figure of him?!
