People going insane over knee pads needs to stop. If he did have knee pads, im sure you'd whine about them being wrong or causing issues while posing the figure. Mattel owes you nothing for adding to it. You chose to (probably poorly done) put knee pads on it. Prices change and budgets change. We know nothing of how money is delt within mattel or the wwe line. These are $20 toys marketed towards children, not some $90 japanese import Also.. E19 is a perfect figure. Well said my friend.

Can't lie.. I did have to add pads on my e19 HBKs knees. I chose the later Jakks Elbow pads and they looked really cool and still gave way so I could see the lower heart deco. But that's the only HBK I've ever felt the need to give Kneepads to. The rest look great with or without them. Especially the WMXXX and TRU Network Ex

I reckon Bill and Mattel do some little things on purpose for us to go and buy more and actually PLAY with the bloody things, don't you think some fix ups are like way to perfect to match? They are done deliberatly, I mean that's why this forum exists right? THEY ARE WATCHING US!! codeezie I totally get your point and you have thoughts we ALL have had (good arguments too), but in the end man its just a toy, get a girlfriend or develop some bad habits or something! don't get to upset bro LIFE IS GOOD! btw how much do you want for your HBK e19??

I like the E19 Michael's figure. THe Liz figure from the same wave was very underwhelming to me. I really hope we get a nWo liz down the road. would be perfect ina 4 pack with Bischoff and the Outsiders Hall and Nash I think.

I just like knee pads, guys. I don't know what else to say. They make me happy.
P.S. I have a girl, and more bad habits than I'd like to name. One of them being spending a small fortune on small plastic wrester guys. Whatevs.

You're complaining about 3 details that weren't on a toy. You made a thread to complain. There has been countless threads on these same issues, it's been brought up many times. People like you are toxic. You say don't like it don't buy it, I say if you don't have anything to add to the topic don't reply, let alone 3 times..... I like the figure but Mattels inconsistency with the knee pads on these figures is pretty frustrating.

Most of HBK's knee pads were the same color/design as his tights. I've noticed when that's the case Mattel will not include (WMXXX, E19, Network). When the color and design doesn't match then they'll include (RSC, Legends Rockers, Basic RR Heritage). I understand the exclusion. If they can save some money by not producing pads that's gonna blend in with the attire and barely be noticeable and give you something else within the budget they would've spent on em then I'm fine with it. This comment right here... I like it.

Nuff said This comment should be spammed every time someone talks about HBKs knee pads not being added

It won't happen so whatevs I'll continue to try and complete them to the best of my capabilities. By the way here is my E19 Nice work on the pads. If you wouldn't have pointed out that you added them, though, I doubt I would have noticed them in the pic. I'm sure that's probably one of Matty's reasons (along with budget, etc.) not to include them.

It won't happen so whatevs I'll continue to try and complete them to the best of my capabilities. By the way here is my E19 Pads look great! And love the necklace! I've been warned now for "name-calling" and "trolling". I don't know if someone is reporting me but at no point in this thread have I been trolling. I made this thread and I have done nothing but eloquently defend my position with well thought out reasons and opinions. I don't understand why I'm not allowed to have an opinion. I'm not anti-Mattel on any level - I love these wrestling guys and I care about them a lot, that's why I am so passionate about the way I feel in regards to them. This thread had brought me a lot of trouble and I honestly don't know why. I just wanted to bring up a point and see how others felt about it. It's nothing personal. All of it was healthy debating - agree or disagree. I have loved this forum thus far and have found it very fun to be here - but I wasn't even provided a reference to the text that got me the warnings despite my requests. Perhaps I'm not familiar with some of the rules, and without them telling me what I did wrong I won't be able to learn. But again, NONE of my posts in this thread are troll posts. All of them came from the heart and were 100% my true opinion.

I was reading through the first two pages of this thread planning to post something exactly like this before I read it. A lot of times Shawn's knee pads are so close to the attire that to the naked eye it looks like he has them under his tights (a misconception I had about his Summerslam '95 gear until very recently). In attires like that, I have zero issue with Mattel not needing kneepads. JMO of course.

I don't really care about the knee pads with HBK. However, I hated the ladder that came with the Network HBK. Too small. Unpainted steps, but a painted top step? And yet, RSC makes ladders with painted steps, but no painted top step. The man?

I buy em all man - I don't want any one to get the wrong idea. I know I'm nitpicking on some level but it think my claims are rational still. Wasn't a huge fan of that omission (grey tie) as you obviously guessed. It just looked so cool on E23 Taker. But to be honest, I had an easier time living with that one. Not sure why. I think it's because I display him minus hat + jacket - so it looks authentic mid-match. Thanks for asking.

People, his Network Spotlight figure is ACCURATE. He wore the kneepads UNDER the tights, so it would look stupid to me to put kneepads over the tights. Simple as that and anyone with a brain knows this from watching the SS95 match. Again: the kneepads were UNDER the tights. Case closed.

I hate to be that guy especially when the lack of kneepads on a guy in long tights doesn't bother me, but they are over the tights. You can see they are covering some of the heart designs on the tights.

You can see they are covering some of the heart designs on the tights. But they seem to be under the tights. In this image, you can see the pads are under the tights as he bends his right knee. You would be able to tell when he bended his knees, as in this pic. Also in that pic you posted, take a close look at where the top of the left pad meets his leg. The tights are streching over the pads. The black zebra designs are the same over those pads where his leg and the pads underneath meet.
