Honestly, mattels finest, it is pretty much flawless, must buy Huge fan of undertaker in his ministry of darkness era, so when I found out these were popping up I had to find them, honestly, my favorite Mattel has made so far, probably a lot of that has to do with how big of a fan I am of this style taker, but not as much as you think, excellent detail, new torso mold, little different from DM taker scan, and SDCC taker, this network spotlight has straight black sides, as the others have a shaved sides look, really great figure, robe is a nice addition as well But also something was bothering me as well, although I love the ponytail edition of taker, he was mostly without it, I have seen lots of head swaps with legends taker head, and I bought a 2nd one for that head swap, but decided to go a different route with it, here is what I believe the network taker should have looked like, this is legends taker hair on a network head, head shaved and portion correctly to fit inside of hair, also switched the MMA gloves they came with, with the SDCC gloves and got rid of the bulky rings around the wrists, I love this fixup, but still might buy a 3rd one for a regular legends taker head swap, please leave thoughts and comments, enjoy!

They keep omitting the other elbow pad, and I think they should use biker gloves over MMA(or at least dont use the cuffs), and also, if they ever release an Undertaker with laceless boots, I'll probably buy 20 of them, just to fix the past releases. Just my 2 cents. Close to the fix up
Love the fix up.

It looks good. I really loved the ponytail look though. I think I might pick this one up after all.

I like it. I always try to cut back and say I don't need another taker, then somehow it is on my shelf.

Disappointed they used the DM head. I probably won't buy it now.

I originally wasn't interested in this figure at all, I thought it was essentially the DM with a robe, but it has grown on me a lot. Has anyone tried the Summerslam basic head on this body yet? That would be my ideal '98 era Undertaker.

Looks great what you did but another improvement you can do is alter the goatee like this image...

Looks good. But I really don't need another Ministry Taker with the DM I got last year. Really ridiculous they made this so close to the DM.

I like both. If I had to choose it'd be the ponytail version, I love that DM figure.

WTH IS WRONG WITH MATTEL? Missing elbow pad but Kane gets both. Still no laceless boots, inaccurate gloves. Who the Hell works there and thinks "oh I know what Undertaker looks like and what he wears duhoy.". Soo Troublesome.

I agree so stupid that Mattel only included 1 elbow pad when in fact he used 2 back then. The laced boots is getting really stupid now when he clearly wore laceless boots. Mattel should have used the SDCC/DM boots if they didn't want to create a new mold.

Why do they insist in giving him 1 elbow pad? They did the same with the SS heritage one.

I have to agree with what everyone else said about the laceless boots. It's incredibly annoying that Mattel refuses to make a laceless boot, it would work wonders for Kane, old school undertaker and even a modern one if they wanted to make the kickpad version. Also, something looks off about this figure but I can't quite pinpoint it. I think it's the torso but something looks unproportionate, maybe it's the lack of neck. I'm on the fence with this figure. Your fixup looks better than the original dude!
