just got e26 road dogg and am super disappointed with the shirts. they fit terribly. they really couldve gone cloth here (only budget eater is warrior and he comes with nothing) or at least worked on a tighter fit (like cactus's top even though i know that wasnt removable). as it is the figure, which is otherwise remarkable is pretty much ruined for me with the terrible stiff oversized shirts. big bummer. IMAG0523[1]warrior is awesome. the arms and legs are starting to bother me though they are too big and too lean. it was fine for awhile but they just dont look all that realistic. IMAG0524[1]i bought henry too, not sure why as i have his other elites. IMAG0526[1]it's freezing outside and the plastic is ice cold so i didnt wanna mess with em too much yet almost forgot: good gravy the new elite packaging is like an abomination. i thought mattel was scaling back on packaging. you could fit 4 figures in there. maybe they made it bigger to jam big cheap accessories (ladders, tables, etc) to add more "value"...but man it's terrible for a figure like warrior who comes with nothing. it's embarassing and wish they'd do something like the star wars black series 6'' packaging.

Fitting is terrible. Some rubber shirts fit well, a good example being the e12 Orton. This fitting looks terrible and im gutted because i was soooo looking forward to this fig.

For those who collect MOC figures, I think the crappy packaging is a big problem. Not only do they look ugly, in my opinion, but they dwarf the figure inside it. I agree with the OP's suggestion of Star Wars Black Series packaging; it is small and is more of a compliment to the well displayed figure inside, rather than a big distraction.

Can't you pull the shirt down so it isn't that high up on the shoulders?
Not seeing the problem with Warrior's limbs. They are the same as every other Mattel Warrior and they all look fine to me. The only thing I see wrong with that Warrior is the thighs of the singlet are just painted legs and not a singlet mold.

The only thing I see wrong with that Warrior is the thighs of the singlet are just painted legs and not a singlet mold. you can pull the shirt down, but it still puffs out leaving a gaping space between the shirt and the chest. from the front then it honestly looks like he has giant breasts. and i know warriors has the same parts im just saying they are starting to wear out their welcome with me.

You said that the new Elite packaging is way bigger then the current ones. If someone gets a moment, and has both MOC old/New, can they take some size comparisons pics for me. I would be very very greatful....
Many thanks.

I really don't have a problem with the bigger packaging if this means that we will be getting more and bigger weapons/ accessories (which looks like is what they will do) in the future.

Wait...is Warrior's skin tone the "normal" tone and not his "tan" like every other figure or is it just the flash?
If its normal skin tone it just went from a "might buy" to an "absolute pass"

Wow. I'm very disappointed in Road Dogg. I wish they would've made his shirt like RSC Cactus Jack. There was no reason to give RD two shirts.

Cloth shirts are the way to go. Or one shirt and a classic tag belt. But still excited for Warrior and Roaddog. I'd there anything positive in this thread?

If its normal skin tone it just went from a "might buy" to an "absolute pass" the skin tone of the new warrior looks identical to the old warrior's (at least to my eye and i usually notice that stuff) IMAG0527[1]You said that the new Elite packaging is way bigger then the current ones. If someone gets a moment, and has both MOC old/New, can they take some size comparisons pics for me. I would be very very greatful.... Many thanks. i'll see if i have any old elite packaging handy... Wow. I'm very disappointed in Road Dogg. I wish they would've made his shirt like RSC Cactus Jack. There was no reason to give RD two shirts. ya i wouldve preferred one good fitting shirt over two poor ones Cloth shirts are the way to go. Or one shirt and a classic tag belt. But still excited for Warrior and Roaddog. I'd there anything positive in this thread? positives: warriors new headsculpt is great. henry gets a beautifully fitting tee shirt (ironic). road dogg's head, waist, and leg sculpt are terrific road dogg is so good thats why it's so frustrating they botched the shirt or phoned it in. either way bad.

I would've preferred 1 tight fitted shirt, his hat, and a VAC classic tag belt. It would've been an instant buy for me. Now that I see the product, and the flaws, my decision has changed.

Can anyone confirm that Road Dogg doesn't say "First Time In The Line" The only figure with new packaging that has been labeled a first timer is Bruno so far.
