hopefully he shakes up some of the lame static automatic parts decisions MDT keeps making: -open left hand with all shark fin triple h arms -delete the shark fin triple h arm entirely -painted skin tone -lots of other annoying things I think the hands situation needs to really addressed. The hands on these figs suck. It's like no on thinks about the character. Like Jericho with the jacket? Why does he have one open hand? You can't take off the jacket so he's stuck in his 'pose' that is done with two CLOSED hands. Why doesn't big show have a fist? YET!? Why didn't hogan have a fist so he could do his 'pose' properly, ect etc... Some guys are just fighters - give them fists. I get one hand to hold a chair etc but some guys should have specific hands. I'd like to see a little more attention. The new Andre has new hands. Cool maybe bigshow should have big hands now? How did the snuka figure be such a disaster and the cherry on top is no 'i love u' hands... It's like rock and austin have literally always come with each other's kneepads. Always. Never been fixed. Why? A little more attention to detail would be nice. Matty does great work but there's these little dumbfounding sloppiness here and there.

I hope this means he will fix the distribution problems plaguing retail and get rid of the painted torso crap that cheapens the look of the figs IMO I hate when people like you chime in, who don't understand how this all works. You're the kind of person who drives the company presence away from forums. For starts, how many times must it be said that these guys don't control distribution, before you get it? That is not anything within a DESIGNER'S control. Their name says it all. Designer. Not distribution manager. Designer. Secondly, what you just said was neither constructive, nor tactful. "Crap"? "Cheapens the look"? There are better ways of giving your input that doesn't involve insulting these guys' hard work. Check yourself.

Hey Guys, Vonner here. Thanks for the warm welcome, and let's have some fun! ✌ Glad you're with the team, Dave! I met you at Comic Con 08, right when you were debuting MU 3.75. I had a great time talking with you.

David, awesome to have you here and teaming with Bill on the WWE line. If you had your way what guy would you put into the line that hasn't been done by Mattel who would it be.
