ok so i see the ringside proto pics and Malenko was clean shaven. im glad they did it that way, i remember seeing the figure with the "beard" and thought it looked off. and now i think i remember when the protos for E37 came out in the thread everyone was happy Malenko was clean shaven.
anyway, the figure looks way better the way it came out.

Bill has admitted several times to just missing certain details ie Roman Reigns' wrist tape on his first elite. The APA in sleeved t-shirts would be another case, and I expect this detail on Sid would be too. Also, the figures are sometimes designed based on WWE promotional images. And it'd be easy to miss the white above the boots based on the main promo shot for him on the WWE site: that would explain things to a point....but I guess what I was trying to figure out is who exactly makes the decisions for things like details. Because you can't just look at ONE picture of a guy and be like "ok this is what we're gonna do" and it's not like Sid was some random guy they just decided to throw in as a Flashback. I dont think he ever didn't have sock showing while in the WWF...so it's like how did they miss that for him but get it on Malenko? this might all be a moot point if the final product of Sid has the white and it was just missing from the proto....but still.

ATTENTION..attention READ ALL ABOUT IT.. SID will come with no high school diploma, extra juice, a very loose ankle joint to recreate his nitro top rope debut, plus he will no show lots of house shows and promoters will give out his phone number..and the figure will want to do over a promo on LIVE tv the realest figure ever

Have you seen the man wrestle? He was a machine in the 90's. never got the appeal of him I mean basically he in my opinion is the cruiserweight version of Lex Luger great worker terrible mic skills and just was meh to me Except Luger was kind of the opposite... could do great work on the mic when motivated, but usually not a great worker. Even so, Dean wasn't bad on the mic, but it just clearly wasn't his specialty. Dean was more of a silent but violent guy and that fit his gimmick.

I wouldn't have noticed the white socks for Sid and since you mentioned it, I can't unsee it. It needs to have the socks.

E33 Cesaro has socks. I have an issue with my Malenkos head being unable to not always look down.

Chip while I also agree with you about the white socks detail, here's another thing I noticed that's won me over with the Sid figure and his current head scan. Clearly Mattel was going for Sycho Sid mid-to-late 90s, but I was watching some '89 shows when he first debuted with Dan Spivey as the Skyscrapers and his hair looked very much like the proto (watch Halloween Havoc '89 vs the Road Warriors). He hadn't grown his curly pony mullet until '90 so the head kind works for (an early) Sid Vicious too which is kinda neat.

It's true. I like the figure with no stubble better than the prototype that had stubble Me too. Mattel doesnt do stubble well. Toybiz did it better than jakks or mattel imo. Id rather him be clean shaven than look like he got chocolate milk on his face...or hobo clown steeze They nailed the stubble on the Matty Andre.

I personally believe Bill from MDT has his favorites. Think about it, he half ass made malenko and sid, but from the pics at sdcc, he made Balor down to the T! Maybe guys like malenko and sid aren't as important as Balor and other favorites of Bill.

If he is a wrestling fan, in which he has to be to some extent to even do his job, rest assured, he has his favorites. A la, low count of Jericho elites...

Socks on sid isn't that big of a deal imo the knee pads would cover them anyway
