I prefer how the facial hair was painted on the original release, but I do like the inclusion of eye liner on the new one. I have both, but I decided to keep the Basic Series 16 WrestleMania Heritage Undertaker head on my Elite WrestleMania 32 figure because it better represents his 2004 run in my opinion.

What match is it based on as I don't remember him ever wearing brown trousers? It's supposed to be based on his WrestleMania 32 attire, but I don't really understand the brown pants either. The pants should've been the same colour as the original Basic Series 16 release. The pants on those are a really dark grey, and it keeps the pants from looking apart of the singlet. I suppose the brown pants also do the job, but I don't understand why they couldn't have been the same dark grey colour.

1995 Royal Rumble for the Buschwackers Battle Pack. OK, I see. Still inaccurate though as the singlets lack the logo.

I'm gonna say the SDCC 2010 Exclusive Undertaker as being the best. There was exclusive molding for that figure and it had the best packaging. The recent Bushwhackers Battle Pack are probably the worst figures due to the inaccuracy of the attires. They never wore anything like that.

Considering how much money was spend on mine, I hope not. If they were to do somewhat of a re-release, I think the 3rd option as a basic figure would do quite well. Mattel have never made a basic Kevin Nash figure before. But a Kevin Nash attire I would like to see on a figure before this one is from Royal Rumble 2014. The short hair would make it look different from every other Kevin Nash figure, and the singlet was worn for many years so it would cover a wide time period.

I'd give Undertaker the Godfather/Papa Shango torso.

Quick and easy fixup between the Entrance Greats and Elite WrestleMania 31 Heritage Undertakers. Swapped the Entrance Greats head, hands, coat and tie onto the Elite. Who knew that such a simple fixup could make an average figure into a great figure? I did a video on it for those that wanna see the fixup in-depth:

All of these are amazing choices. I can't pick just one. At least one of the attire choices in each Battle Pack is something I desire.

I would probably say 2000/2001 Undertaker for a couple of reasons. First, it's a basic. Second, I do not like the reuse of the usual Undertaker head they've been using for years. They also left the eye makeup on it which Undertaker of course didn't have at that time. I think a repaint of the original Defining Moments Undertaker head would've been a much better choice. And lastly, he didn't have tattoos of his kids' names on his neck at that time, but they were still included on the figure.

This is what the WWE section looks like in 'The Warehouse' located in New Zealand. These particular photos were taken by a friend of mine at his local 'The Warehouse' store. This is the only retail shop in the country that stocks WWE Figures, and the selections are always very poor. I love Mattel's work, but can't seem to get my hands on much. There are no Elites here, and it's rare that we find anything here. Whenever there is anything here, it's sold very quickly. I appreciate you taking the time to see what the current state of WWE Figure Distribution is around the world.

Basic Series 16 Undertaker. My friend got it for me back in 2012 when it first came out. I really didn't like it because at that time I was younger and only wanted newer versions of superstars to play with. And I didn't really recognise that look for the Undertaker back then either. I was actually gonna trade it at some point, but I really appreciate owning it now. The Return of the Deadman is my favourite era of the Undertaker today and the figure is definitely one of my favourites as a result. The head looks awesome on the Elite WM32 Series Undertaker figure.

I still feel that Mattel owes me a gray undertaker tie. It's the only time I've felt that I was sold an incomplete figure, and I know already I could see there was no tie before I bought it but I still did. That doesn't change the fact that there should've been a damn tie Agreed 100%. I hope they give us one someday, but maybe with a plastic clip to attach it to the neck. That elastic band does not hold up well at all. My purple tie is hanging way too low now. The entrance great came with a grey tie. Yeah. That figure costs a lot of money though as a result of the Elite one not coming with a tie. But I do admit, it's worth it to be able to complete the look. An early 90s Undertaker figure without the tie makes it seem almost naked.

Now that you've posted the pic, nice fixup! It's a look that is really significant in Undertaker's career. His first WrestleMania main event match and for the title as well. It's a shame it will most likely never be made into a figure, but it's an easy fixup to get there. The results are awesome!

This thread may as well be turned into a thread to showcase all of our Undertaker fixups. I've done two significant Undertaker fixups. The first one is kind of similar to his WrestleMania 13 attire. It's just an Elite version of his Survivor Series 1990 debut attire. I will be uploading a video about this on my YouTube channel soon, but for now here is a picture. I did this second fixup over a year ago now. I don't have any pictures of it, but I made a video about it last March.

For me it's probably Undertaker's WrestleMania 29 entrance robe. I'm a huge fan of that look and I'm gutted that we never got it in figure form.

I just got a Basic Series 44 Kane figure for the legs since they have Elite articulation. I will convert that figure into an Elite by swapping the basic torso with an Elite one.

Just one: my cat got hold of my DM Macho Man and shredded the tassels on the jacket so I had to cut them off. Other than the missing tassels, the figure is still near perfect so I can live with it. There are plenty of DM Macho Man jackets for super cheap on the Bay of E.

I don't have anywhere near the amount of Mint on Card figures as you. I have 99 of them, but they are all in a small room so I am still struggling for space.
