They can be removed, just give some heat then peel the joints. Sweet would there be any that you could recommend? I'm looking to make some Shield customs No idea man. Cant remember. I think were so long ago.. like 10 years? I used one to make matt hardy.

Are there any Shield figures with removable vests? They can be removed, just give some heat then peel the joints.

I’ll never be one to complain about more realism in figures, but I can’t believe Mattel gave Bret nipples before they gave him a decent face sculpt. We can't get it right, here, have a first in the line authentic scale nipples instead. Truefx if the budget permits. I think the most recent scan is not bad though. Trim the fringes and it looks better.

I don’t think it’s that they forget. I think it’s a budget thing. I’ve never seen an HBk with knee pads that have deco on them other than Ultimate Editions. The other HBK that have knee pads are just plain black or white knee pads. I thought the wm33 elite has it. But it turns out it was the same attire entrance greats basic. Another two is basic 100 Granted they're all basic figures.

The new Hitman. The gaps on the sides of the jacket (can see the skin in the armpit area) torso is too small, the heads still aren’t the best, the logo on the singlet doesn’t line up. He's got nipples tho, in the right places too! Lol.

I was introduced to them through the ps1 games and i remember not liking them at all in those games. Would love to have an elite of them though.

Y'all can go checkout yours. I see the wide boobies nips, but the scuff between his boobies is what's drawing my attention 😂😂 Yeah a bit annoying as its not molded in skintone so the only way to fix is to paint flesh. But the figure's so good to play with i dont notice it too much.

All I see is that scuff mark unfortunately. Not actually nipple molds. Pretty sure it’s just the indentations from the inside stems that hold the torso together. Y'all can go checkout yours.

Nipples! I just realized this figure has it. Wonder if anyone went ahead and painted them.

Thats annoying but it doesnt mean it wont work. You can add some sculpt to the forehead and then just repaint the skintone on the head . If you dont feel confident that you can do it then i wouldnt mind helping Yeah i wanna try that.. someday.. lol. Thanks for your offer but i live in another side of the world i'd like to avoid that hassle. Would love to see you and others have a go at it though.

I personally don’t like Butterfly joints as I prefer realism over additional pose ability and I know I’m not alone. I much preferred the way series 6 Rock was vs the new one we are getting but thankfully for me, we get the soft goods to cover the joints up. I understand the butterfly joints serve a purpose for some collectors and figure photographers and I think for certain talent it does produce some really cool photography and poses. However, I think it would be ideal if as collectors we were given a choice whether we want them or not. My opinion is people just like the idea of added value and actually very rarely use the extra articulation. If Mattel offered both versions, maybe they could offer figures without butterfly joints at a cheaper price point. To be clear, I’m not advocating butterfly joints should go away, I think ideally we should get a choice. Given the choice 90% of the time I’d buy without the joints as the figures aesthetically look better but I would perhaps buy the odd talent if I felt the extra articulation added value to give me an iconic pose that I couldn’t do without. Really interested to know if given the choice, where or how people would choose to spend their money. What do you mean by realistic? The Rock's right hand not able to reach his left elbow pad? Previously people complain about ab crunches. Mattel used to do basics with entrance gear called Entrance Greats. That line being discontinued for some time might tell us something about its popularity.

*EDIT what a little hair cut and a legs swap can do, WM 13 Bret, I’m so impressed with how this turned out, credit to a guy on facebook who inspired me to do this cause his looked so great( if your on here Danny thanks! ) the scan really benefits from shorter hair and boy do those defining moments legs make it pop, all UE articulation is included just no drop down hips thank God, I’ll be doing a few more mods when I get a chance maybe I’ll post them up when they are done, any suggestions, should the hair be shorter? Man thats exactly what i thought of doing to the figure. Looks good. Sadly i dont have extra dm bret, and i only ordered on of that ue still waiting to recieve.

Usually the new shoulders on the double jointed elbow figures, need a bit of work to make them move fully. 2nd are the ratchet joint hips for figures that still have them.
But after working on them (put a bit of force, heating, freezing) they're all good.

He wore the blue one at the 2000 Royal Rumble when he hit Triple H with the chair in the main event. I don't recall seeing him wear it on TV for promos or anything though. He didn’t wear the red one, the blue one was worn at Royal Rumble 2000 Shane wore the red one with stickers on it after Backlash 99 when they kicked Rock out of the Corporation Thanks for the info on the RR 2000. So like he only wore it on tv kinda once, and not even the red one? Dang now I need to go get the elite 100 as well.
