I'm very happy with the figure and the more I look at him, the more I like it. Is it perfect? No, but I feel "perfection" is unachievable at this scale (though, NECA comes close). I think a lot of us get hung up on "realism" and "authenticity" when it comes to these figures and we forget that Mattel's WWE line is really more caricature-like and meant to be exaggerated versions of real people. Within those parameters, he fits in perfectly with the rest of the line.

Q: Can you pose the shirt with the two sides held in each hand or is that not possible? While I like the young look for Hogan, but at times, I wish his face was more expressive. I'm starting to dislike these neutral face sculpts. (Basic 44 Kane, I'm looking at you, brother.) The dead eyes are what irk me.

I know I'll get killed but this figure needed double jointed elbows and needed extra hands for signature posses.

I'm amazed people don't like the scan. To me, it's one of the best figures scans I've ever seen. And I wasn't even a Hulk-a-Maniac! Looks just like this...

My only gripe is that the torso looks so tiny like Sin Cara. Does no one else see it? Otherwise, I think they hit the nail on the head with this one

I've seen better Hogan customs on here, but I'm still gonna pick the DM up because it's Hulk f'n Hogan

When everybody first seen it they were like OMG it's perfect. And now this is wrong, that is wrong. Gimme me a break. It's an amazing figure.

Well said. I agree with most of your criticisms. The head is not spot on but it's okay. The belt should have been fully painted. This is afterall the super detailed expensive line of figures. Paint the belt. I mean the flags on the belt would pop so awesome painted!
And a rubber shirt. With a DM figure. Shame on you Matty. I can deal with rubber with basics, even elites. But when it comes to the pricey defining moments line. Give me cloth and or give me death. Brother!
