The belt is pretty accurate in terms of the broken plates and tape, it's just the coloring that's off. Was the OG belt one of Warriors light blue ones painted over? actually,it was Hogan's belt that Mr. Perfect smashed with a hammer in late 1989. guess they just threw it in a vault for 8 years or so til they got the Hardcore title idea rather than throw it in the dumpster. and..... I'm sorry to say I like my custom better! That belt. Awesome custom man!

The mask looks off to me. Otherwise, good figure. Not sure it needed to be an exclusive, though.

So let me get this right, you all pick elites apart for the stupidest things, but clamor for rumblers and those Dollar General pieces of garbage? The figure looks great, its not gonna be perfect because of the mesh. The belt looks like crap??? Hello the original version looked like crap. I guarantee everyone saying they dont like it will probably get it and then will say its their favorite figure or they'll pass it up now, see it in peoples collections and want it after it's sold out or marked up. It happened with Austin. Elites are held at a higher standard than budget-based lines and expressionist lines targeting children. They're the holy grail of this hobby. That's why people speak of them differently - different standards for different pricepoints for different demographics. Some collectors like it all, and some, like me, only get Elites and the occasional Basic. Jakks nailed this figure in both TTL and R3, and even the off-looking CS one had the mesh detail. Mattel's style is rather bold and simple, and they just aren't that concerned with texturing - most of the hair isn't textured, the jeans aren't textured, and little details like this that help make a figure look authentic aren't textured. It's one of their few downfalls. That brings me to the belt - it looks well designed, they obviously took the time to make it look shattered, so the base of an awesome title is there, but it's missing any sort of texture that made the thing look like a grimy HARDCORE title. There's no color or brushing to recreate that look, and with how little went into this Kane, you'd think they'd be able to do it. I just don't really think this turned out nearly as well as it should have given how great Mattel's work usually is.

I thought it would be much better...
The Mask doesn't look nearly as scary/angry as it should. It looks as if they have used the same mask as the Flashback which is wrong. The rest is ok...including the belt even though there is a lack of paint detail. The heads the big problem for me...
...the figure looks too cartoony and colourful.

now the hardcore belt itself was "garbage" but it never had a black strap, and there wasn't as much dull unpainted gold. just lol also his mask is too "red", when i look at it the first thing i notice is the red colorother details are nice though, its a solid figure My complaints too I'll wait for a shiny one

Hopefully Dean can fix the belt, somehow.

Kane's arms were massive during this time period. I.don't know why Mattel constantly releases him with toothpick biceps. Even when I was a kid, I remember thinking "Damn, Kane's got some jacked arms." I was hoping they'd sculpt new laceless boots and maybe his studded belt. I guess I'm expecting too much from Mattel nowadays. When the hell did Kane wear gloves that read KANE? WTF! I hope other Kanes have singlets that are painted neater than this: Just mediocre work from Mattel...

Ya the problem is they are using a Basic 26 Kane head with different parts and the color red is not matching up very well.

I dig it but something looks missing from the belt? Either way its a buy for me. It seems as if the forgot to color the center plate.

Why doesn't the red by Kane's mouth line up with the other part? That bothers me the most.
