they should send Cactus & Kane right back to MDT......and tell them to try harder.I want to like both of them. But they didn't make it easy. I'm sure I'll have fun spending more money to add taped hands and a flannel vest to Cactus....larger arms and more accurate boots to Kane. Can't wait to acetone that stupid logo off Kanes glove Didn't collect Jakks. But I would take these over Mattels versions all day

People comparing it to a TTL figure are damn stupid, as much as its a weak figure it's still beats the crapout of the TTL figure.

I'll wait until later still. Easily could've been a regular elite line. What the hell? Nah I'm joking I agree, its just Mattel wanted to slap 10 more dollars for a figure we should be getting for less. I still want it though despite all the paint job issues.

The mask has too much red on it. Disappointed, but I will probably buy it anyway.

add the colours and it would be great, but the belt sucks otherwise ... looks like a basic version.

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 ! wow R U D E.. Its a ing exclusive, its supposed to be good and not have so many ing flaws..

Everyone snooping around trying to figure out that pic probably forced them to push it up since everyone was clamoring for it.

I'm disappointed in MDT as this figure doesn't seem to be a mistake but laziness and cheap. I've never had to put Mattel, lazy and cheap together alot and don't like to.

This is one of the only Mattel releases that I don't like haha. it just doesn't look like him and the hardcover title looks like crapit's obvious and everyone knows it..... They really could've made it waaaay better it got everyone's hopes up on our favorite attire and our hanged of a cool lookin hardcore title.
& for gods sake the Cactus Jack is awesome whoever disagrees is a moron it's perfect representation from Rumble 2000

So after reading 9 pages, its unanimous, WFIGS members HATE this fig! RSC should never have said yes to this fig when they got the final product. Its not done! What a waste of an exclusive.

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? The belt lacks the colors of the real thing so imo it a major let down.

Am I the only one who gets the distinct impression Mattel has really been cheaping out as of late?
I was stoked for this figure, and hell, I can admit I'm still going to buy the damn thing - which i$ obviou$ly all that matter$ - but it just could have been so much more.
For starters... that mask. Is that literally just the Basic 26 Kane head? I mean, right down to the exact same colour shades and everything? Because it just doesn't match the gear. Though I could be wrong on this, I'm also confident his mask wasn't exactly the same in 2001 as it was from his debut in 1997. It had some differences, around the eyes especially.
And if we're going to be recycling old parts on this, couldn't the money saved have been put into a moulded belt instead? Having moulded gauntlets and a flat, painted belt just looks stupid.
The Hardcore title isn't horrible, but it sure could be better. Where's the copper/brown patches and the fragment of blue globe from the real belt? This looks like a damn Jakks belt. Or the Basic Divas belt.
I thought the point of the Elite line was that we were paying a premium for quality? All I'm seeing here is the same high price point but no obvious sign of where that money has gone.
Seriously, you give us Elite 21 Honky Tonk Man and then you give us this?
edit - forgot to even mention the scale of this. Kane was a bulldozer in 2001, but this looks like the same parts as any of his other figures. Give him bigger arms at least.

In all honestly both r3 tech figures are 100x better than this Mattel other than scale

Hey guys, new here.
Anyway, I'm a Mattel Kane collector and I like the figure. Sure it has it's share of problems (The bright shade of red and the amount of red on the mask, the shirt being fake see-through, the body proportions) but I'm happy they did with it what they did anyway. Hell, I was expecting them to just throw the basic 26 head on it, unpainted.
Yes, the overall Jakks figure looked better, espescially the head, I'm pretty sure nobody can deny that, but I'm happy with it nontheless.
