think the final MOC product has exceeded my expectations at least.
Good figure, nice accessories too!

Mattel really should have considered a different torso. Having that Torso with a giant picture of The Rock from 1997 really shows how not cut and ripped he was.
If they put a knee brace on him and the original torso from Legends series 3.. That would be a MUST have, instead of I'd like to have.

Its been hit and miss lately with these exclusives. Sometimes they nail them and I'm super stoked and excited like with Brock Lesnar and the Bret Hart exclusives.
Then I see others like Hardcore Kane and this Rock figure and I almost cringe when I see it. Like Miz says, "Really?"

Not sure what mattel mean by upgrade. If that's the case i hope mattel doesn't upgrade any torso if torso upgrades mean getting more ripped. Sooner or later everyone will start looking like fandango torsos. Everything about the figure is just bad with a reused head. At least try to get the fade on his sideburns and stuff but there seem to be little effort in this figure.

This surely isn't a must have, but a nice figure nontheless. I will be picking this up sometime, but will probably wait until he is on sale.

Should just be a regular flashback, the only thing I like about this is the yellow ladder. I'm probably not gonna get it but maybe if I have extra money.

Even the pic on the package has had to be photoshopped to have abs and they still don't look as ripped as the torso.
Truth, I don't care much about Rock from this time period, so this is an easy pass.
What I and many others are frustrated about is that after shipping this figure will be about 36 dollars or so. And honestly? There have been and will continue to be flashbacks this year that are far superior in quality for under 20.

It's a neat looking figure, but IMO it's a huge waste of an exclusive.

I'm personally happy to be getting this figure. I started collecting last year so had no chance at the Legends Rock or the Entrance Greats for the head. The belt is sweet too.

Those eyes resemble a bad custom paint job.

Great figure, though the torso is too big. I don't think it should have been an exclusive either.

I might buy it loose for like $15 but otherwise I think I might pass.

I've never bought from Ringside, but this to me is a worth while purchase so I've bought two, personally really happy, just wanting a Wrestlemania 19, 20 & Rock Concert, oh and of course a Rocky Maivia now!

I assumed there would be somewhat of a backlash from this figure. I just don't see that big of a demand for the Rock among the collectors that would mainly be getting this exclusive. Honestly, I see this hanging out at a very reduced price on RSC for the next couple of years like Flash Rey....

Torso is bad. It's not Fandango bad, but it's not good. Mattel having the right torso makes it that much worse. The trunks are growing on me, I kind of like them, but I don't $32 like them. If I already had the DM's Rock, I would be far more inclined to get this for the accessories but I don't and I'm not even remotely willing to buy it. This a swing and a miss for me.
I don't know why everyone is going crazy over that belt. Wasn't The Rock the only guy who held the IC Title with the purple strap? I guess if you're going to paint it black great, but that strap is only good for the Rock if memory serves me correctly. To each their own.
Pass.
