While I can get excited about rumored names like Magnum T.A. in the Legends line, I can also see I'll be cherry-picking future waves with other rumored sign-ups like the Brooklyn Brawler. So with 4 figures/wave, I don't know when I'll ever see a NWA/WCW classic like the "Total Package" Lex Luger. When I saw L4 Orndorff I just knew a Lex fix-up was around the corner. Jakks Lex's skin complexion is by no means a match, and his head is a tad large, but overall it's passable! Mattle Legends: "The Total Package" Lex LugerTorture Rack!You young guys get the reference?

Nice fix-up. I wonder if Mattel has any plan to release a Legend Luger fig. That's a bad-ass Brody.

Outside of the horrid scan, it looks great. Jakks failed on Luger. Want a good NWA Luger scan....use Stan Lane's head from Jakks. I think the skin tone will work too.

I'd love to see a real Mattel Luger - he needs a better scan. Until then though your fixup is the next best thing.

I was excited when Jakks said they were coming out with a Luger figure. Then they released this one with his head looking like Harry from "Harry and the Hendersons". Hopefully Mattel puts a more effort into it than Jakks did.

Not liking the head on that body. Maybe try using a Toy Biz WCW Luger if you have one

I like the idea, but the head looks big to me.
Was the Deluxe Luger a different scan?

And yeah I agree with most everyone, this Jakks Luger scan is pretty bad (espeically now in the morning that I'm looking at it lol). I don't have a toy-biz Luger but aren't those scans more his 90s look? Also is Jakks Stan Lane really a passable Luger? If nothing else, at least I have an accurate Luger body/attire ready to go if Mattel ever decides to do a Luger scan.

I don't have a toy-biz Luger but aren't those scans more his 90s look? The early Toybiz Lugers have basically the same haircut as the head you have on now. The later Toybiz ones had a slicked-back ponytail. None of the Toybiz heads were scanned though, they were sculpts that weren't particularly photorealistic (though way, way better than the Jakks WWF Bone-Crunchers from the same era). I'm not sure it'd be worth switching for a Toybiz head, because there'd be a fair bit of work involved in even modding the head to fit on a Mattel peg. It is, but no moreso than the one you have on there now. If the Stan Lane head is smaller and has the right skintone for the body, I'd switch it. If not, keep your current one.

I hope mattel puts a "Lex Express" Lex Luger in the legends series. I loved the Lex Express and can't wait for him to be in Smackdown vs raw game on Tuesday 12/21!!

I love the Galoob attire choice but the head as you know is a bit off. Brody looks rad as well.

I like it although I do agree that there is a small difference in the skin tone which sticks out to me but may not to other people. Nice though, glad you didn't go with the black trunks and decided to go NWA on us
