I like the belt better than the figure.

I'm not as down on this figure as many are. I like Kane and I dig this figure. It has alot of cool detailing and comes with a new belt for Mattel.
One big thing is we DID already recieve some REALLY good representations of this attire in the past. I still have my R-3 and original TTL versions of this attire and, tbh, those figures were and are pretty much perfect. As far as unique molding and accuracy, the older figures of this attire released are technically a little more detailed and accurate looking than this figure .... which may be the issue many are having. I remember the TTL of this figure featured all new molded parts, head to toe so that's tough to compete with.
I won't be making a pre-order, but eventually if/when the price goes down I may get it or wait for a holiday to ask for it as a gift.

The TTL version was way too short. The scale was terrible.

ehhh, the paint job on the shirt of kane isn't accurate to the attire. you could see through the material when he wore that attire. They just painted it on. I just dont understand the boner they have for Kane, another Exclusive for him? It seems like a waste, and now that I see the figure, it definetly seems like a waste of an exclusive for me. Well then make it better ! I guess you cant so just shut the up !

I want to love this figure but i don't know i just can't. Something about it looks off to me, i don't know if i'll get it. They should put more accessories, i mean it is an exclusive. Like this it could've just been another flashback.

I'll pass. I'd like the Hardcore Title but if we don't ever get a Raven, which seems likely, then I really don't need it for display. I'm happy with the E12 Kane, and I'm not a big enough fan of the guys to have a bunch of multiples of him.

Mattel are professionals and with the price we have to pay for this, we expect perfection, something this figure is far from. No need to be a dick.

This is my favourite era so Im definitely getting it. It is a bit pricey though considering Cactus costs less and seem to have more effort and cost in it.
On a whole, the figure is pretty good. Would have liked to see them sculpt the attire or at least paint the mesh as crosshatches. The colour is a little off. Im not sure why they painted kane on his glove, he didnt wear that unless it was a one off sometime, but it wasnt the iconic look.The mask is disappointing. It looks too much like a red base with black, in fact the hint of red near the chin almost makes it seem like its cast in red but painted black. Might need to fix this up. The boots are incorrect too, not sure why they refuse to sculptlarge kicker ones because they could have been used for this, e12 and even e4.
The hardcore title is a good base but it desperately needs colour which would lift it from good to great. For the price point, and given there is almost no new parts for the figure and the fact there is only ONE accessory, I feel it is somewhat overpriced. I just feel that the figure is somewhat short of mattels high standards. Its still decent, just needs a few fixes. I was expecting more.
I will get it. But I must say, on the whole, the R3 has retained its status as the greatest version of this kane.

GARBAGE. Halfassed repaint plus an accessory is in no way shape or form worth almost THIRTY dollars. All of you making long posts about how terrible it is and then following it up with "but I'll still get it" are encouraging this and you enablers should feel bad about it.

The belt is off... It just doesn't look right for some reason. The Kane figure is decent.. never was a fan of that attire.

I don't remember Kane ever having his name/logo on his glove. I could be wrong, but this is just something I don't recall ever noticing.
As has been mentioned numerous times, the belt coloring is completely wrong.
And the torso is completely wrong for Kane for that time period. He was much bigger and that torso just does not work for the guys they use it on.
That torso should not be used for guys like Diesel/Nash, Undertaker or Kane. These men are 7 feet tall and around or over 300 lbs.....this torso has NEVER been right for big men, and almost 3 and a half years into the license, it's continued use is becoming more and more unacceptable each time it's used incorrectly. MAKE A NEW SINGLET TORSO FOR BIG MEN, bottom line.
While this figure is passable, it in no way shape or form is deserved of the classification or price point of "exclusive".

Like a lot of people I was super excited for this figure..and it has let me down as well. The mask is way too bright..and his belt on his attire should be sculpted not painted..and painted horribly at that. Also like others his arms and torso should be bigger but those parts don't bug me as much as his mask and painted on waist belt. I can understand them doing this on basics but not on elites esp exclusives at that!! Was going to def get this but I'm gonna pass.

This could have been in the regular Elite line.

They should push the release back and work on it some more cuz it doesn't look done.

The belt and mask are noticeably off. The first thing i noticed missing from the strap was the red and blue paint and theres something about the black streaks on the mask that make the paint app look amateurish. 7/10. We've already had an exclusive Kane not to mention all the other elites. Cmon Mattel, for goodness sakes give us something new!
