I get it that they come with shoulder pads but it's not like they had to mold new ones they had the molds ( I work with things that need molds, the most expensive part is having the first mold made after that you there's no cost for a mold since you have it and can reuse it). That's why I think they could of added the tag belts since they didn't need any new molds for LOD.

The torso should be painted with hair.

I believe these are deco'ed with a paint press right? In layers? Hell, look at Animals face paint, that's 3 different colors. I definatly see that it can get expensive with guys like Punk and Batista with all their tattoos.

No tag titles. And no complaints we did not show enough new stuff at Comicon this year when it leaks in advance. That statement seems kind of harsh considering we all spend our hard earned dollars on your product. It isn't our fault images leak. It didn't used to be a problem before, either. It's something that is happening more recently. It's like the end of a movie leaking and fans wanting the company to change it. Mattel can't always stop stuff like this, if half of their SDCC reveals get leaked there's nothing they can do.

Anyone who thought we were going to get LOD with shoulder pads, deco AND classic tag belts clearly don't pay attention to the way Mattel does things. Wishful thinking makes sense, but anybody who has been paying attention the past few years knows that there was no way they were getting classic tag belts with these Elites. People can complain and that's fine, I understand the desire for the belts, but there's no way that was happening with these figures so no one should be truly disappointed by this. Pay attention and set proper expectations for yourself, or don't and continue to get pissed off everytime. Keep thinking we're gonna get red & yellow Hogan with red bandana, yellow tank top, American flag, yellow headband and Winged Eagle in an Elite.

Belts or no belts I still would like to thank Mattel for finally getting us L.O.D. in red. And judging from this Animal pic, it was well worth the wait. I especially love the new boot mold.

thanks hendrix, btw i love your "whatever the official name is for the photo at the bottom of ur post" maybe signature photo..!!
classic brother, remember vader got f'ed up in that match.. plus I always loved watching bret and AUSTIN go punch for punch... same for taker and bret... damn bret was truly the best... if goldberg didnt hit that kick too stiff, and bret could have worked in wwe till 05-06 he would have been way more blessed with credit as the best than hbk... sumtimes i think hbk gets the nod cause more kids know his work, and he hit more high spots... BRET told the best stories, made everyone LOOK amazing..

Yes I was just listening to the listen now podcast in wrestlezone and they were discussing how Bret's first wwf title run he was called the "fightingest champion ever" or something like that because he was putting on good matches and actually letting guys who clearly weren't going to win the title actually get offense in. Not just a typical "WWF champion squashes Virgil match" Bret was awesome

I'd like more Classic Tag Belts, but I'd be happy if they just came with the shoulder pads. though I can't imagine they wouldn't anyway. if MDT wanted the collector's to riot,easiest way is to not include the pads with Hawk and Animal!!

BRET told the best stories, made everyone LOOK amazing.. Hell yeah I made the sig pic as soon as I got my Vader from the Classifieds section here. One of my favorite matches of all time. Late 96 to early 97 Bret/Austin is still one of the best feuds ever. It just felt real, like these guys will destroy each other by any means necessary. They brought out the best in each other. Austin's best mic work still was during that time. As far as WCW... I like to forget that even existed. I agree with you though. I'm an HBK fan, but Bret Hart is different from Shawn in one major way: he never had a bad match. Even back in the early 90's when all of Shawns matches weren't five star. Bret never failed to deliver.
