I just picked up Elite 37 Dean Malenko from Smyths here in the UK. A few things I've noticed..
For starters, his jacket has the embroidered design for studs, but they aren't painted. A real pet hate, but the rest of the figure is pretty damn awesome so I can't complain.
Secondly, has anyone else noticed that the box claims he comes with the "United States Championship"? It doesn't, of course. Is this just something us Brits are getting, or is that a design flaw for all Malenko box art?

It looks like only some of the studs were painted, but some were black. I didn't even realize that until you pointed it out ;-)

Mine's head seems perpetually looking down. I try to push it up but it's a struggle. His neck joint is super stiff. Anyone else's like that?

The looking down is due to Mattel's commitment to realism. Source:  |

It's a great figure. I'm not pissed about the belt not being the US belt like some people on here complained. I think it's a solid figure

I purchased it, but disappointed in how pale he is more than the lack of stuble.

I think it is okay. I just opened it now. I would have liked it better if it had stubble, a slightly thicker torso, a not slanty head and came with a wcw cruiserweight belt.

I think it's a solid figure I think the people that are pissed are MOC collectors, cuz it just looks kinda weird that it says that on the box. Doesn't really matter to me either, but yeah I noticed it. |

It's a alright figure. Not a huge want for me but it is a new character and not a repeat so that was nice and a shiny belt was a great accessory even if its the wrong one. We haven't got a ton of WCW guys either so I'm fine with it.

Mine's head seems perpetually looking down. I try to push it up but it's a struggle. His neck joint is super stiff. Anyone else's like that? Yes! Give it a gentle push and his head should become fully mobile. I didn't realise there was already a thread, my bad. It is a superb figure other than what I pointed out, the box error is a nice touch if anything. |

Amazing figure, mine was like this out of the package too- I spun his head around 360 a couple times- not too rough- to loosen it up a bit, and then it seems to move better. Still a tad awkward, but a noted improvement. |
