Am I the only one who's sick and tired of mattel cheaping out on figures? I mean seriously, Elite 19 Kane, No Elbow Pads. Elite 18 Undertaker, No Elbow Pads. Basic 32 Kane. For Some Really Weird Reason, 1 Elbow Pad. Daniel Bryan Battlepacks 20. Horrible Kickpads, Bryan's Never Wore Them. Randy Orton BOPPV TRU Exclusive. No Beard Paint. Looks Like He Has 3rd Degree Burns. John Morrison Elite 10, No Elbow Pads. Basic Belts. Just Painting Them 1 Colour. Looks Horrible And Nothing Like Them. Shipping Out A Figure Of Either John Cena, Randy Orton Or Rey Mysterio Every Other Day, When Since October+ We Could Have Had Already:
The Shield
Sweet T
The Miz New Attire
Etc.

Um yes DB has worn those kick pads - wore them at Royal Rumble 2012. The only thing Mattel didn't do was extend the design onto the knee pad itself. Most of the basic belts are fine the way they are, hell the United States Belt that came with E12 Daniel Bryan was very well painted. The only basic belts that are crap are the ones they put in the Target 4-packs around the holidays.
And it takes time to make new figures of people and/or updated gear. There's always a 6-7 time frame. SO just chill.

It will never be as bad as Jakks so let's be thankful for that.

Hmmm... "New" member joins and is complaining about figures he hates within his first few posts. Suspicious. Most likely a banned member. The only thing that makes me think he is a genuine new member is that he thinks they could have had figures of Fandango and The Shield out already, so he's got no idea of the timescale of releasing toys.

I have been pretty impressed with the Elite figures and their accessories. Ya they skimp on some but they have too, they cant include cool stuff with every figure, they have to stick to their budget.

I agree. Those pads are a pain to come by.

i don't think they forget elbow pads on purpose. I just think its absent mindedness.....or miscommunication w/ China.
One area of cheapness would be the millions of black and/or red attires they do. Which are cheaper colors to use.
while we're complaining, this doesn't deserve its own thread. But the Battlepack 23 Kofi Kingston attire is wrong. Its the wrong color. They made it pale yellow.....its supposed to be Optic Yellow (like a tennis ball)
i looked at tons of Kofi pics...and he def never wore that

Even if some of that stuff is true, which not all of it is, just let it go. Mattel has been nothing but great to us. They work their asses of to please us. So yeah, Mattel may have screwed up on somethings, but lets be real, the stuff they do is amazing.

The figures are great and elbow pads aren't anything I would ever really stress not having. If it is that big of a deal, buy some off ebay or just pass on the figure itself.

Hard to read that statment due to you capitalizing every single word.

They are figures and sometimes they are imperfect but they nail most details so I think you're nitpicking. I remember collecting figures when some outfits were not even close so I appreciate the level of detail we see now

MDT came on in a thread shortly after the B31 Kane was revealed to say that they are including 2 elbow pads with the figure. I guess whoever took the photos was hired to do so, and not someone on the team, because MDT said something to the effect of them not understanding why it only had one elbow pad in the pic. It might have slid off or been left off in error when the guy was brought in to take the pic. But we will get both pads, their word.

I agree. Pads should be included. Other than that I'm really happy with Mattel.

I wouldn't be complaining... if you lived through the Jakks era, you'd be happy with Mattel every step of the way.
