Kmowing how much he wanted a Hollywood Hogan figures I pictured him dressed up like Hollywood (like in that first pic of him meeting Hulk) pacing around his house like a caged tiger waiting for the Mailman as soon as he saw RSC had them in stock. lol And other than the free floating crotch piece the figure really is nice. If that crotch piece was secured to the body and his calves and wrists were thinner the figure would be perfect. The floating crotch bugged me at first, but I'm used to it now. A complaint I'm going to level - the hands. He actually has a hard time holding the nWo big gold, keeps falling out of his hands. I took the hands off, put the belt in that way and then popped the hands back on.

Haha awesome stuff dude!!! Great skit too and great finish! I just opened mine up too and I absolutely love it!! The only nitpicks I have would be the difficulty of getting the weightbelt back on (though I will try the torso pop trick) and how it's kinda tricky to get the crotch piece (lol) to look symmetrical. Not exactly a flaw as much as it's a personal annoyance, but I found my OCD insisting that it looked perfect. But the sculpt, scale, and accessories make this a must buy. And my god, the paint is phenomenal! The skin tone and face alone are impressive, but those boots are insane! Lastly, the articulation is so top notch. And that's essentially the sacrifice of losing a solid lower torso in favor of the legs/hips being covered by a hollow rubber piece. It may take a bit to futz around with aesthetically, but the flexible nature of that section allows for full range of motion. Now bring on Hulk still Rules! U know he's gotta be in the works. I'd buy that too. My only real complaint is the belt and the boas. I like mattels plastic ones better and would like a belt made of harder plastic. Yeah that thing was hard to put back on. I told my son to never take it off again lol.

Congrats on finally getting your hands on an official Hollywood figure brother. I've always liked him better as Hollywood myself.
What Hogan figure is that with the Undisputed Championship.

I wedge the gold part in his hands which seems to fit better.

Love the pics and storyline. You really put a lot of effort into all of that. Very cool. I have to say those Hollywood customs you have are awesome. I actually like those better that the Storm fig.

I did not like Triple H and Steph with the nWo, so I'm glad they got beaten down in the end!
But poor DB.

Having played around with him for over a day now, and while he's great , he isn't perfect.
- The crotch piece . . . there's nothing that can really be done. Best advice is to pose him how you want, then maneuver the belt so it covers the gap in the waist .
- The hands, they do,have issues holding stuff.
- The shirt, it has already started to roll up on mine as well.
- The boas. They're great, but they puff out way too much to me. I found it better to just use one at a time.
.... Don't get me wrong, he's a great figure, and I love it. But just a couple of tweeks would've made him perfect .

My only 2 complaints are the belt n the boas. I wish the boas were plastic like the Mattel ones and the weightbelt was made out of a hard material.
