Is it just me or is there two different shades of red on Kane's upper torso. I see it too, like a diagonal between the biggest flame and the smaller ones Yup thats what i was talking about.

I just finished watching it a minute ago. Credits are still rolling. Not the worst (Superman vs the Light still holds that honor for me.) But it wasn't in their top 5 either. Is it just me or is there two different shades of red on Kane's upper torso. No it is. I think it is because when painting over the black paint they needed more coats because the black will always show through a light color like red, yellow, orange, etc...so it won't match the red that didn't have black beneath it. Not sure if the torso was cast in red or flesch color, but I am thinking it was in red. Will look in the shoulder socket next time I am by the figure.

Nice gets! I was going to say, if it's missing the tie, might aswell just use the EG one.

Yes Kane's torso is cast in red. So the red "flames" are painted over the black paint the painted. that's why the reds don't match up. And it is actually more noticable with the naked eye. Not even close the EG head is much darker. damn it! can u post a pic of the two side by side?

Why not just do the flame shape in black rather then go over the red with black and then over the black with red. That sounds confusing but you get what i mean, really odd decision making. I wonder if they were attempting to do the see through look only in a half assed way.

That EG head is 100% better. He looks so demonic and ghostly, but the new head just looks like a dude. I think I'll swap the heads, keep the entrance gear (with the hat tilted down) on the one with the average face, and I'll put the EG head on the elite body for his in-ring look.

Just guessing but I would assume it is easier (and less expensive) to just program the machines to paint a straight line and go over it in red than it is to program it to paint in shapes?

He had those bug eyes when he first started. I plan on keeping the EG coat, shirt and tie so the head swap should be ok (in hiding the skin tone). I like the hair color better on the new one though...hmmmm

While it is the same head and I don't think the paint application on the face of new figure is bad...I just feel the EG face has a much better paint application to it.

That Kane would've been the perfect opportunity to release the Hardcore Championship to retail instead of a stretcher and fire extingusher.

Thanks for the pics PJ, Ive got to get these ordered soon. I think the New Taker has a great paint app but I dont like the beard. Taker still had stubble around the upper lip. The new one just makes him look amish. If I could get the EG beard on the WM Taker, I think it would be perfect.
