I'm not surprised since I knew this was coming. Maybe we will get another DDP in 4 to 5 years.

That's terrible... it's more or else the same thing as the Legends one. I'm not appalled over the same headscan, but they could have given us an attire/accessory that's a little more different than the other one. Pretty lame.

I'm not fussed by it since I missed out on the Legends DDP, I will definitely be picking it up. Even though it still looks more like Chuck Norris than DDP to me.

Why couldn't they do what they did for RSC edges hair then just paint his facial hair a dark brown or black?
So frustrating as it's close to amazing.

DDP will likely be the first Flashback I have passed on since I got over my Jakks hangover, around Elite 15. I have the Legends DDP, I just don't see any reason to spend the money on this figure.

And here's our new DDP: Seriously, more people need to speak up about this. There really isn't much more I can say or do. I think it's because you're the only one who is this upset over it. It's gonna be okay, man. I'm sorry you didn't get your serious headscan but it's like you want us rioting in the streets. Thing is he is not the only person upset over this. They did a terrible job with it.

The time Mattel puts into what they give us and especially everything they gave us this year and we need to "stand up"? MDT probably sit around in the lunch room and pull up this board and have a good laugh. They're given a budget and have to work within it. We don't know the logistics of how much it takes for a new headscan. People act like they know the toy "business" like they know wrestling. We're men that collect toys. I don't think that gives us any say in DEMANDING anything. Sit down, shut up and enjoy the damn ride that Mattel is giving us. Why are you kissing their ass when they did a half ass job on this?

The HOF series just keeps getting better and better DDP is a big letdown tho I like the attire but the head kills it for me as it did with the legends figure. It's the exact same figure except for a pink stripe instead of blue. What a waste

I don't have the legends figure so I'm excited about this figure, BUT I definitely understand everyone's concerns and complaints. In saying that I do however enjoy Mattel re-releasing some of these figures and killing the secondary market.

You're a man. Act like one. Everyone acts like they're entitled to something on this board. It's a piece of plastic made in little human form. RS doesn't do something right. Complain about their business practices. Mattel doesn't make a Iron Mike Sharp. Complain about it and how were unfairly treated. Mattel gives us a repaint. We have to stand up to them like this is the goddamn civil rights movement and we need to "speak up" to a publicly traded company making money hand over fist. Honestly, they don't care. They do what they feel is feasible in their budget. Do you complain to an artist for not using the colors you want for their painting? I'm kissing their ass for one reason: they aren't Jakks and make a hell of a product. That's all the reason I need. For every good figure they make. They make one mistake after churning out those 25 great figures and you chastise them.

The E36 DDP is an appalling piece of garbage. I can't belive Mattel rereleased the crappy Matty Exclusive figure. This new figure could have been 1000X better but for some stupid reason, they decided to rerelease a piece of garbage.

I'd love a serious scan, but can we fix that vest first? My god, that bothers me to no end!

I was never really a fan of DDP. It amazes me that he's getting a second figure to be honest.

I have always wondered, from a toy company standpoint, what the criteria for an emotionless headscan versus an emotional one is. Back in the old days it seemed that scans with expressions were used in more kid focused lines or figures that had some sort of action feature. Now it seems to be at the will of the sculptor/designer.
Would love to hear the criteria or decision making process from the MDT.
In relation to DDP, I can see why they are re-releasing the Matty figure. I bought it, and I think, aside from the beard which Mattel hasn't really figured out on most of their WWE figures, it's a nice figure. The new Dean Malnko suffers from the Fred Flintstone looking beard effect as well.

They make one mistake after churning out those 25 great figures and you chastise them. "they aren't jakks" is horrible logic. Judge a figure by its individual quality, not because it's not made by jakks. Let's say Legends DDP doesn't exist, and this E36 figure is the first ever Mattel DDP. The head is painted horribly. It itself isn't horrible. It's paintjob simply sucks. Rest of the figure? Fine. Except for the inside of the vest. Should be purple. And if we wanna bash Jakks, look at their DDP heads. The first one's great. The second one's mediocre, but better then the mattel scans themselves. And the mattel scan ain't bad. It's just painted bad. Here's a repaint. Are we entitled to a new serious headscan? No. Would it be possible within their budget? Seeing the rest of E36, probably not. Would a serious scan look good? Probably. Do that many people want it? Not really. The very least Mattel could've done was paint it better. Not making it look like he's got cheetos in his hair.
