Don't know if this has been mentioned yet... Check the entrance @ 3:05 Just picked this (and The Rock) up from KOHL's:  Missing the knee pads, the elbow pad, and wrist tape. :/ Fix-Up:  Still missing the wrist tape, guess I will mold that on. It's pretty disappointing that they would miss that much detail. Also - I was going to add the head to my extra Elite 10 Big Show. But Elite 10 Big Show has 2 straps, not 1. OH WELL. The head scan looks excellent though:  Any other Mattel figures you can think of that are missing that much stuff? |

I can't think of many other figures that are missing THAT much detail. Legends 2 Rude didn't have the Warrior on the back of his tights, but that was due to some late contractual issues. Other than that, I can't think of anything that big.

@theperfectmountie - thanks dude. I think it looks a hell of a lot more complete like that. I just gave him the tag belt too. Bout to whip out that early Mattel Kane (it's in a box with my nephew's figures), so he has his partner.
@"Original Broski" jonjon535353 (you have a long name) - Yeah that Rude kinda seems incomplete to me... but I just keep his robe on, so no big deal I guess.

There are alot of figs incomplete like that, but it dont matter too me cause Mattel did such an amazing job on them for sure. Like someone above said, Rude does not have his Warrior on the back, E10 Big Show does not have his Ankle Tattoo, Punk dont have his Arm tattoo's, Mysterio is missing his Prayer tattoo, Bret Hart is missing Knee pads, Ax's face paint is a little different, Someone mentioned before about Edge's tattoo's being different on E8.. thats really all i can think of atm off hand.. but like i said i dont mind any of it because there still the most amazing WWE figs i ever had in my life

Just thought it was weird that they would forget 2 knee pads, 1 elbow, and wrist tape. That's a lot to forget. Seems like a pretty lazy job with this 1. Either that or they didn't watch the match before making the figure. Maybe they were trying to save money and didn't think anyone would notice? Rick Rude tights - legal reasons Punk tattoos - legal reasons Mysterio tattoo - religous reasons Big Show ankle tattoo - not sure what you're talking about. Ax facepaint - didn't notice Edge tatoo - error, I believe they printed it backwards Big Show kneepads, elbow pad, and wrist tape - no good explanationBret Hart kneepads - no good explanation
I love WWE Mattel for the record. I own most of their figures. |

I think the reason not to add knee pads and elbow pads has to do with budget reasons!

I said this already... but that is a lot of things to leave off of a figure. Thing is, I wouldn't have even noticed it if I didn't randomly watch that match while I was opening the figure. I wonder how many people just don't notice it? lol. Here's another photo... by the way, I freaking love this figure now.  |

It's a great looking figure and the only one from that series that I want, but I've yet to see them.

Could've been a budget issue? Regardless, the elbow pad makes a nice touch.

I kinda wanted it just for the head but I'm gonna hold out for one with the long hair.

Thanks for catching that. I'll add elbow pad and knee pads when I get this figure. No clue how to fix up wrist tape.

Adding the pads to the figure makes it look 10x better. I added the elbow pad to mine but I don't have any extra knee pads at the moment. I'll either have to wait until I can get some or check to see if I have any extra Jakks DA knee pads to add.

Nice catch,
basically Mattel just used their standard Big Show body and slapped the new older scan on it.
Thankfully I have an extra set of large Mattel Kneepads so I'll be adding them to my Show when I get it, ill have to see if i can get an extra elbow pad though.

It's for Budget reasons. They cannot be 100% accurate.
