Thanks for posting PJ! That's easily my favorite Mattel Legends so far. The headsculpt is amazing and really looks like Bret. I'd love to see Mattel sculptors' take on Scott Hall/Razor Ramon as none of the Jakks ones really favored him.
I'd initially not gotten any of the Mattel WWE figures as I thought their head sculpts were lacking. They've really impressed me with how much better they look now.

Thanks for the pics pj, that fig looks so awesome, we need a screwjob hbk so that match can be re-enacted, as thats the same attire bret wore to that match. great figure, glad i ordered 2 .... now to wait till late oct when the rest of my order ships :s
we need an anvil figure now by mattel, hard to believe we'll never have the full hart foundation....

awesome, thanks for the pics PJ. i'm debating whether to get this, but for me it all comes down to is the facial likeness better than his jakks figure...
is it possible to get a comparison pic of the Mattel Bret headscan next to the Jakks Bret headscan? ideally the screwjob/CS13 scan
and what do you personally think of the mattel bret likeness PJ? better than the Jakks heads?

Maybe you can ask them to split the order? Yes an Avil is needed now. But I really want to see a young Hart Foundation (WM III attires) awesome, thanks for the pics PJ. i'm debating whether to get this, but for me it all comes down to is the facial likeness better than his jakks figure... is it possible to get a comparison pic of the Mattel Bret headscan next to the Jakks Bret headscan? ideally the screwjob/CS13 scan and what do you personally think of the mattel bret likeness PJ? better than the Jakks heads? I like it better than Jakks. I think the CSDA was Jakks closest likeness to Bret and that was limited at best. The second Jakks scan (one used for the screw job) looked like Bret from a profile, but from front on didn't really capture him. (I think the forehead was way too high on that one). I think Matte's captures his likeness the best. If nobody else posts any comparison pics I'll try and do it over the weekend. Here you go my camera battery had 1 pic left in it. lol I moved the one strand of hair to the side for you.

I wanted it to be the EG HBK, but that's a Basic stlyed figure so I thought I'd go with Austin as that WM match was one of the greatest matches ever.

EDIT: also PJ, could I ask what are Bret's glasses made from? is it kindof metallic paper like the Jakks ones? and how do they fix to his head?

Thanks for the pics PJ. The one with Austin in the sharpshooter brought back some great memories.
RSC shipped it out to me via UPS too, and I usually get pre orders 1 day after you guys from NY/NJ do. So by that logic, I should get it Sat or Mon at the latest. Yet ups.com says I should expect it Tues, and I didn't get any other pre/back orders. Weird. I'm usually patient when it comes to figs, but since I stopped collecting after R3 and started back again last year this is literally my most anticipated figure in the last decade (and my first Bret since BCA). lol

Thanks for the cool pics, PJ, I really liked the sharpshooter ones with Austin! This looks like one of the most perfect Bret Harts made, he looks great. I like that the Eagle belt is vac-metalized and on a black strap this time, it's a cool bonus accessory.
I'm in the West Coast and won't get my DM5 order until Wednesday, so I'll probably be one of the last to get figures from this shipment but it's cool. I can't wait to get Bret Hart and John Cena next week!

Thanks guys. glad you like the pics. Yes, I think he is one of the best (if not the best) figures Mattel has released in the WWE brand. I like it better than Jakks. I think the CSDA was Jakks closest likeness to Bret and that was limited at best. The second Jakks scan (one used for the screw job) looked like Bret from a profile, but from front on didn't really capture him. (I think the forehead was way too high on that one). I think Matte's captures his likeness the best. If nobody else posts any comparison pics I'll try and do it over the weekend.

EDIT: also PJ, could I ask what are Bret's glasses made from? is it kindof metallic paper like the Jakks ones? and how do they fix to his head? No problem. They are a hard plastic with a shiny sticker over them. And like with the Morrison figures his hair holds them on. I'm really curious about the glasses also. On a side note, I HATE YOU PJ!!!! Yes, I'm jealous.....lol lol. Funny when they arrrived yesterday my wife said she hated me as well. But her reasoning was...and I quote "I hate you...2 you needed 2! It lookis like every other Bret Hart figure!" Where I then had to say how it's Mattel's first figure and other that the attire he looks nothing like the others. And started showing her the differences. lol I then told her to check the official list wrestlers I buy multiples of and she'd see I was still under my Hitman linit at this point. ;D Back when Mattel announced they had the license I gave her a list that said most guys I'd buy would be one version, but then guys I really like such as Triple H & Orton I would get 2 or 3 each of every figure depending on the figure. And if Mattel was to ever do a Legends line there was about 27 wrestlers that I listed that would all be 2 or 3 figures each, but at the top of the list there Bret, Piper, Kerry Von Erich Sting & the Steiners who were all guys I listed as 5 per figures. (1 for my Basics/Elites Display, 1 for my Legends Dsplay, 1 for the computer table, 1 to fool around with Possibally customize into a different attire & 1 to keep Moc/MIB) Thanks for the pics PJ. The one with Austin in the sharpshooter brought back some great memories. RSC shipped it out to me via UPS too, and I usually get pre orders 1 day after you guys from NY/NJ do. So by that logic, I should get it Sat or Mon at the latest. Yet ups.com says I should expect it Tues, and I didn't get any other pre/back orders. Weird. I'm usually patient when it comes to figs, but since I stopped collecting after R3 and started back again last year this is literally my most anticipated figure in the last decade (and my first Bret since BCA). lol Well, seeing it's UPS it wouldn't arrive today (Sat) as they only deliver Saturday "Next Day Airs" on Sat mornings.
