Pros: the belt; the fact that you don't really have to do a fix-up using a bunch of other figures to get his 2002-era look.
Cons: elbow pads are small and probably unnecessary; I think I've only seen one reference pic of him wearing studded boots, wrong knee pads, small tiny hands when he had large hands, a useless rubber shirt that doesn't fit the era, and for me personally - the wrong calves - they should have used Mr. Perfect calves.
Despite all my cons, some are knit picky I agree but overall it's a very good figure to get if you can live with the minor imperfections.

If you look at the pic in ztj_wwf's response above of Brock holding the Undisputed Title with elbow pads on top of the cage, I think you can see a solid resemblance to the RSC sculpt.
It's a great likeness of my preferred era of Brock. I don;t see any real Cons with it, other than having to buy it now or run the risk of having it rise in price.

I dont understand why everyone is saying the elbow pads are a con. Apparently we have different memories of Brock. To my knowledge (and looking on Google search) Ive never seen Brock during his first run wear elbow pads. Essentially Mattel gave us something for nothing and to me, that's a Pro.
The head scan is kind of a disappointment though seeing as how 25yo Brock is the same as 39/40yo Brock but it is what it is. The over all figure is absolutely perfect IMO. Ive never been a big fan of anything post golden era except Brock Lesnar and they knocked this figure out of the park.

I may be wrong, but I'm thinking those elbows in the ref pic were worn just to protect him while in the HIAC.

It's pretty interesting how there's such a divide between people who remember him more wearing elbow pads and people who think he almost never did.

If you look at his biggest matches during his first run, you can see that he would alternate : No pads vs RVD KOTR Finals Pads Vs Taker HIAC No pads Vs Hollywood Hogan Pads vs Angle WM19 (took them off mid-match) No pads vs Rock Pads vs Guerrero NO Way Out No pads vs Goldberg |

Just wondering, would the kneepads of the RSC Brock fit his elbows? I think it could, due to the massive size of his arms or maybe not.

It's a great figure all around. The head, arm & knee pads can easily be swapped. Sure we shouldn't have to resort to this but all the same it's personal preference.

Why are some people saying the belt as a negative? What's wrong with it? Is it not vac painted?

Pros
Torso
Legs
Boots
Arms
Tats
Cons
Same old head
tiny hands
huge belt
shirt is a mish-mash of 2 different shirt designs.......and he didn't wear shirts like that back in the day.
elbow pads are the wrong size.....and arms are so big, the correct pads probably wouldn't fit anyway

Pros: it looks like a good body (and legs) for sid vicious n warlord fixup. Sid really? He was nowhere near that thick. |

I think he looks too big in the torso. Sid Vicious (before going to WWF as Sid Justice) had a big chest. Sid Justice, too. As he aged into Sycho Sid and later in his second run as WCW Sid Vicious, he got a little skinnier, like Hulk Hogan did. But I think RSC Brock is a nice figure. He'll stay Brock Lesnar so long as Mattel eventually gives us a Goldberg. If not, he'll be my Goldberg fix up with a Jakks head. But Goldberg's another guy with a huge chest and shoulders but a relatively thin waist. |
