Let's hope that under the singlet there are a pair of blue or red trunks or else the afro makes no sense at all!

I am certain that the head is identical to the Legenda Andre minus the 5 o'clock shadow.

Why couldn't they just pack two heads? Honestly, This removable hair piece sounds good in theory but I don't really have high hopes for it after seeing these pics.

MattelDesignTeamAny idea? I've never been a fan of Andre but this looks horrible. Probably the worst hairsculpt I've seen from Mattel. And the headscan looks more like Superman to me than Andre.

Google Andre the giant prototype. The first one they had for the legends ring they were gonna produce years ago had a better paint app, they painted his pupils smaller and it looked better IMO....

I can't believe they let this go to production. It looks like someone took a steaming dump on his head! I mean, they MUST have got an early proto and saw what it looked like... Who was the d-bag that said, "ok, this will do"?

This one? Would have been cool to get removable long tights w/strap and a mask so we could make Giant Machine.

I so hope your right because it looks so bad now. It's just the old Andre with a horrible afro

I'm just so disappointed in this figure. I was really looking forward to it. How is this any different from the Matty exclusive, besides the crappy looking afro? Even if he has different color trunks underneath it doesn't matter because the boots are black.

What an eyesore this stupid accessory is gonna be in the package, I really can't get over someone approving this. Is it too late to just call a f'n audible and just release him without it as is?

I saw that pic and thought the exact same thing. the front looks like the bottom back of his classic afro. Hopefully that's the case, and hopefully it's removable. Otherwise- and it genuinely pains me to say this- this is on Jakks level bad right here.

That would definitely improve it, but lets face it, this figure has failed to deliver. I was open to seeing how it looks beyond initial pics but that afro is flat out awkward and the half doing two eras just doesnt work.

Yes sir, and to me that would have been an acceptable mash up 2 in 1 figure as both versions would be accurate 100% Really love the way this proto above was painted
