I guess i just never noticed this, but the Undertaker had a pair of what appear (to me) to be a darker pair of gray gloves that he wore at WM7 and beyond for awhile.. He didn't appear to switch to the lighter gray gloves until around Survivor Series time. Below are some photos. I sure wish we had gotten the darker pair on the WM31 Elite, it leaves a hole in the Undertaker timeline i'm trying to build. MattelDesignTeam Any chance you could release these darker gloves down the line in a battlepack or something?    |

There isn't enough of a difference there for me to lose sleep over. Good eye though.

If this is the one they did for wm31 taker, then you'll be missing the light grey gloves taker from your collection.
To me the eg black gloves are close enough to pass for these.

...is this really that big of a deal? Depends on how much of a stickler to details. All of my figures are based on a certain match or segment. It's subjective clearly, but some of us care about recreating matches and moments exactly. |

They'd probably release the red glove Taker before releasing another Taker in the same attire with slightly darker gloves lol. But in all seriousness I don't see it happening unless its towards the end of the Mattel WWE contract and there's new collectors who cant get their hands on the WM 31 series one..assuming it becomes scarce and expensive like Elite 12 Kane did.

I don't see the problem. |

He wore the darker gray gloves at his first Wrestlemania and the Funeral Parlor segment with the Ultimate Warrior. I'd like a Taker that represented that time period perfectly. |

You can just buy darker gray paint if they bother you that much. And keep the light gray gloves as well

If they release a BP with bearer that's the perfect place to do darker gloves and a tie

In all fairness to the post, the lighter gloves match his leggings which is what we got. Darker gloves would be a shade different from said leggings.
