Yeah, It's cool, but I would have rather waited until they made an Elite Version with the metal mask thing he wears.

If you look on Ringside the picture shown in the whole set is different than the individual Kane picture. The individual one is the one we've been seeing since Comic Con. The one in the group pic seems newer and it looks as if the mask coloring has been fixed up.

Figure looks awesome. No complaints other than I wish we would have got this figure a little quicker. ^^ Amen to that brother. I also think it is BS that we are getting an Elite Brock Lesner before we are getting an Elite of Kane in this attire. Kane Came back in Dec and we don't even have an Elite proto. Yet Brock came back in April and he already has a Basic, and an Elite. WTF!?

I suppose for the better.

I really want to believe that, but just because Mattel said that the last 2 figures in E19 won't be Cena, Rey, or Orton doesn't mean it can't be some one we don't really need like Del Rio, Big Show, or The Miz. Maybe even another CM Punk which will sell, but I think we will eventually get sick of his figures being of shelves. If the last 2 figures were Kane, and Jericho then that set would be as good as ordered.

Really great figure, definite buy. Mattel knocked it out of the park.

From the reference picture you provided, the flame is on the wrong leg

Is there anything you think Mattel could have done better, comment below. Made it Elite. my exact thought i dont do basics so this whole line is only good for arm and head swaps

His tanktop mold reminds me of the old Jakks Nasty Boys one. I dunno, it's alright, but I hate his current look IRL, so it's hard to be objective.

I think mattel did very well with it. The scan looks great. As said a gentle black wash could accentuate the details of the mask better but I imagine that is costly. Pleased to see they went to the effort of giving him a moulded tank top, just wish the tubing could have been moulded on the lower half to make it consistent but they probably didnt want to spend the money on tooling to do the leg and pelvis sections for just one figure since he doesnt wear this attire anymore. Im looking forward to getting it but I am really looking forward to seeing an elite version with the metal mask and hopefully in his current gear. As for the colour of the mask, i thought the one at SDCC was just bright because of the lighting/flash. I always thought it would turn out darker than that. From the reference picture you provided, the flame is on the wrong leg Nah this attire is based on his November-WM28 attire which had the tubing, smaller stitches and the orange & yellow flame on his right leg. The pictures shows the WM28-present attire which has no tubing, bigger stitches and an all red flame on the left leg.

I am not impressed with the Series 23 Kane. The head sculpt looks "OK" from what I have seen, however, most pictures that I have viewed have been of less than ideal quality. It is probably safe to assume that the Series 23 head will make a nice base for a custom/fix up. My issue with the tubing on the torso of the Series 23 Kane is that, well, it is not "TUBING." It has straight edges and is flat, showing essentially zero sculpt detail. The red components are seemingly painted onto the flat, rectangular slab that lies on the figure's torso. The new Kane Rumbler figure actually does a better job at depicting the sculpt detail of the tubing seen on Kane's former attire. It is also noteworthy that the raised aspect of the tubing is consistent throughout the entire Rumbler figure and is not contained to the torso only, as with the Series 23 figure. In addition to not being raised, the "tubing" on the legs of the Series 23 figure is incomplete. The section of tubing on Kane's flame leg is absent. Although unpainted, it does appear on the much smaller scale Rumbler Kane. One might also argue that the flame on the Series 23 figure's leg is turned too much to the outer side of the leg which, if one wanted to fix it, could mean having to repaint the entire flame. I study Kane on a very magnified scale and I am a very detail-oriented individual to begin with so these inaccuracies might very well be a bit more obvious to me than they are to others. Nonetheless, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for an Elite Kane that accounts for details that the Series 23 Kane does not.
