Can someone explain to me why there are only 5 people in this regular set. Was someone pulled from this lineup ? Dream after the latest round of accusations |

Not impressed with Hayes at all. The eyes are bugged, the hair looks like a custom job, and it's overall very basic. They took no time in it. Corbin is equally bad. Yes, that has to do with what he wears, but still. The cape is cheap, the scepter bent, but the crown is ok. Mattel needs to take their time and care about their product a tiny bit more. Yes, they aren't doing what a S7 does, or Hot Toys, but damn ... take pride in your work. We all appreciate how fast you pump figures out but when 85% look like garbage, you look bad. See but this is why they don’t take our criticism seriously. You are saying 85% of what they make is garbage but yet you still buy it. Thus I guarantee they read that and immediately stop taking you seriously. Why still buy it if you aren’t liking what they are producing. Because I only buy 15% of what they release.  |

My McIntyre and Corbin got here today.
Drew looks great. The new skintone looks better and the scan looks better in person. Easily the best attire of his new figures too. One of the eyes on mine look a little glossy though; it’s almost completely grey and more annoying is he’s cross-eyed. Overall a great figure, though I already look forward to replacing it with his current blue gear with the kilt and sword when it inevitably comes.
Corbin is a bit of a letdown to me; just a very lazily made figure in my opinion which sucks given he’s been overdue for over a year now. He has the Matt Riddle syndrome of his arms being too small, although it’s not quite as bad as on the Riddle figure. He has Kalisto arms and if you plan to play with your figure it feels a little awkward moving his arms around. His torso is almost freakishly small and his tattoos aren’t correct (he has a star on one shoulder but not the other). He doesn’t have the gold trim on his top that’s on his picture on the box. His accessories are mixed to me. It’s hard to get the crown to stay on his head but once you wedge it on it seems to stick. His scepter had to be bent in half basically to come out of his hand and I thought it was going to break trying to get it free.
On average I only get a few figures per set but I feel like at least one in every recent series I’ve picked up has felt lazy, whether it’s baffling part choices (giant hands on cruiserweights, obese Anthony Dawkins, Riddle’s arms, no neck on Morrison, etc.) or attire details missing. It’s not the end of the world but it’s getting frustrating.

Got my Michael Hayes in the mail with my E82 Jerry Lawler. Both figures are amazing. The pictures on Ringside do not do them justice.

It’s an ok figure... I’ll be making some upgrades this week. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm also prepping my Michael PS Hayes:  Added some WM37 HBK gloved hands since I took that pic. I don't understand why Mattel designers can't leverage the plethora of parts/accessories in their 10+ years library. None of these parts I've used are hard-to-get or would break the line's budget. And it's a more accurate Freebird Hayes. whos torso is that? Pat Patterson? |

Anyone notice the back of Corbin's box lists him at 6'2" and the figure is scaled accordingly. I saw the back of the box and thought "I thought he was 6'7"-6'8"." His Wiki page lists him at 6'8", but his NFL stats page lists him at 6'6" He's slightly shorter than the Drew figure from that same series, but looks MUCH smaller because his torso is so much smaller. Seems weird.

People going nuts with AEW scaling but not complaining about Mattel figures. Their scales are also off nowadays. |
