Those aren't even the biggest problems of HTM to tell ya the truth. I think the worse problem of HTM is his leg articulation. I can't even get his leg to go straight out cause its almost like the groin joint is too small and tight or something. I actually had to heat water up and soak him just to get the legs to go back into the normal standing position properly. Those legs really are crappy for sure. The figure though in general looks dead on as far as attire, head scan, body size etc. Just the leg articulation sucks a lot!! and the guitar is rather crappy. Its cool that its a breakable guitar, but sucks at the same time cause the slightest bump to the guitar and the whole thing falls apart lol Ridiculous. I love the figure but its def not my favorite, or as worth it as everyone else is saying.

I think it'll look worse with the printed belt as it'll still look baggy. So I think it'll look odd baggy with a printed belt. I didn't like the bagginess and removed the suit right after opening but he's still one of my favorites. I thought Jakks did a nice job on their suits. The cut flows much better, like it cinches inward at the waist and has a tighter fit. I'm sure the smaller size and shape of Mattel's figure was difficult to work with.

When I find HTM I'll either ask my wife to make a velco backed belt for it or if it is one with the printed belt maybe just put a clear rubberband around his waist to tighten it.

Nice figure but guess I'll buy the 2nd wave version now.

With all the running changes of late, waiting for retail seems to be the way to go. It's a real kick in the pants when you pre-order something online at a higher price and then 'have to' buy the corrected version again at retail. These were my thoughts exactly.

Yeah it's getting pretty frustrating. I am now in need of a new E20 Christian, Cody Rhodes and John Cena. Now this.. Does anyone have a list of all running changes Mattel has made in the Elite line?

That's the only other one I can think of.

Someone needs to make a running change thread so we can keep track of them, even if there aren't that many to date, it seems these running changes are becoming a trend with Mattel.

I've never really liked cloth accessories for fingers anyway. They always look bulky and poorly fitted. Was similar with Jakks figures.
