So far I have had about 3 2 complaints...
1: Rocks boots on the Legends figure are basic wrestling boots, where rock had the calf showing on his. 1: Bulldog isnt big enough. 2: Mr Perfect looks a little "cartoony". Like his hair is bright yellow and his attire is super bright.
But honestly none of them are a big deal to me as Mattel has really done an amazing job so far and have easily ended the discussion of what is the better figure company. (FOR ME OF CAUSE)

I like the Pillman. It's not a perfect likeness, but I think it captures the essence of that big, crazy smile quite well.

I do think something is off about Pillman but I can't deny that it is 100 times better than Jakks scan.

Wow. I mean seriously, wow, some of those figures are unbelievable, and the accessories are really special imo. the macho man is sweet. finally, we're going to get him. i'll probably get him, and the rock.

I think the Pillman scan is abit too cartoony, which is the problem.

But I don't think the photos were of Brian Pillman. Just like every other figure they did 3D scans of the person before they sculpted them. For deceased wrestlers they used photos of different angle of the head to make the scans. That's what Gentle Giants said in an interview with Lee's or Tomarts magazine a few years back when they were scanning Hogan. I think the problem with Pillman is the hair. The strands are too thick causing it to look like it's fake/cartoony. look at everyone elses hair the strands are much thinnner making lt look like hair.(If that makes sense it almost looks like he has a mop on his head) Plus I think the angles of the pics don't do it justice.

My wife is going to kill me when she sees how much money I will be spending on these figures over the next few months. I am in love with there legend line so far. Much better than Jakks attempt at it.

Much better than Jakks attempt at it. My girlfriend has "banned" me from getting the Mysterio boxset, but hasn't said I can't get the others. The thing is, I didn't really want the Mysterio set, but I might get it just to annoy her. Of course, considering all the stuff I do want, I won't be able to afford that set anyway.

Just last week I made my wife an "Official list" of the wrestlers that if made I'd buy every version of as well as multiples of each. It was a long list, but after seeing the Legends at SDCC I'll be going off list because there were plenty of Legends shown that aren't on my list that I'll be getting doubles of (Demolition, Rockers, Hacksaw to name a few)
Modern guys - HHH Sting Orton Jericho Hurricane Angle Undertaker
Legends - Hitman Rick Steiner Scott Steiner Dynamite Kid Hawk Piper Mr Wonderful Magnificent Muraco Snuka Mr Perfect Kerry Von Erich Kevin Von Erich Ric Flair Steamboat Ultimate Warrior Anvil Animal Davey Boy Smith Iron Sheik Bob Backlund Tito Santana Pedro Morales David Von Erich Magnum TA Nikita Koloff Ivan Koloff
And pretty much every Legend on this list is at least 3 each (Everyone down to Flair the rest are just 2 each)...So seeing how it hasn't even been a week since I had made this list and I'm already planning on getting multiples of guys not on it she's not going to be very happy with me.

Bulldog reminds me of Jakks' Shamrock head. Him and Perfect could use that reddish tan like in the ones shown in the panel.
Love that Orndorff, Piper & Bob Orton are going to all be wearing blue. Hopefully, Orton gets a snap-on cast in the final product.

I made a list of everything I want frm the comic-con release and it was quicker to delete the things i didn't want rather than writing the things i wanted. I am officialy starting the Wyle Cyote Mattel fund, any donations are greatly appreciated for my figure collecting.

That Mr Perfect scan looks pretty amazing. I never liked the horrible RA scan Jakks had for him, I just didn't think it did him any justice at all. Everyone disagreed with me at the time but I've always hated it. I even remember Jeremy Padawer saying it was one of his favourite scans of all time WTF?!?! I thought Jakks DA scan for him was a lot better but Mattel's scan perhaps tops even that from the look of those pics
