maybe best bet is to paint the mattel glasses... seriously brothers i am uber- happy with my BRET HART!! its on display at work and has caused numerous co-workers to offer various amounts of cash along with many different lunch checks!!... it is a must have imo like Legend 5 Macho and Legend 6 Warrior... now we need a legends HBK and one day Hulk and andre ad flair.....

Thanks for the response PJ! Im wondering, if the elastic is taken off, and the glasses trimmed down, Would they fit under his hair? I'm sure they would

Hey Ash I know ur strictly an RA collector but if there ever was a figure to buy from mattel and keep as is, it really is this one. I think putting this head on an RA fig wouldn't do it justice! As much as I loved my MSJ 2 pack Bret, this is on another level. it is a very nice figure for sure, and yes, probably technically superior to the Jakks figure. but i like my collection to be all one style, and the style I've chosen for my collection is RA. it's not so much about what the style looks like though... i mean don't get me wrong, i do prefer the "chunkier" RA bodies and i think mattels are too small/thin. BUT the most important factor for me is that 95% of my EXISTING collection is RA style. Sure, RAs aren't perfect, but I'd rather build on my RA collection than start from scratch with mattels. of course in an alternate universe, if mattel made WWE figures from 2003-2009 with Jakks taking over in 2010, then I'm sure I'd be a Mattel collector. Also don't forget, I have almost zero interest in current WWE/TNA now. My main area of interest is Monday Night Wars era legends figures, so the vast majority of figures Mattel makes now I don't even want. Whereas Jakks made hundreds of superstars I was a fan of in the RA line. I know this kind of thing isn't an issue for collectors like PJ who display their figures separately, but I display all my figures together.

Very nice detail and I will be picking one up but his face seems off to me though.

I think it's the best likeness of Bret to date.

Man I won't get mine in until FRIDAY! Why couldn't RSC have shipped my DM5 set with USPS instead of UPS?! This blows...

Don't know if anyone had asked already but does Bret come with a gold stand like the earlier DM figures?
Thanks

Hey PJ, I got my RSC DM5 Bret shipment yesterday - just moving into our new house so I haven't unpacked the studio. Great figure no doubt, but two things bug me:
1. I understand each wave/series/line has a fixed budget - but DM is the premier line at a premier price point - so why couldn't they include a pair of black knee pads? I'm sure that was purely a design choice rather than budget, but he looks so much better with Orton-style knee pads.
2. I admit I was fairly excited to open up the package yesterday and in my haste trying to take out the flag, I ripped the paper flag apart. I wasn't so mad at how ridiculously it's packaged, but more so that it's made of paper. Go to any store in Niagara Falls and pick up those little fabric cloth American and Canadian flags for under $1 and it boggles my mind that they went the paper route (no pun intended).

No, I'm pretty sure it's the Bushwackers torso. Hey PJ, I got my RSC DM5 Bret shipment yesterday - just moving into our new house so I haven't unpacked the studio.

Go to any store in Niagara Falls and pick up those little fabric cloth American and Canadian flags for under $1 and it boggles my mind that they went the paper route (no pun intended). Yes, those two things were the negatives to this figure. (Mainly the lack of knee pads) as for the flag I don't understand why they went with the sticker like the old plastic army men sets come with...but that didn't bother me as much as the lack of pads.
