Noticed that unlike most Takers I've seen online, my Undertaker has dark purple eyeliner. A very noticeable purple, similar to his gloves. Makes the figure look much, much better. Has anyone else noticed that most Takers don't have the eyeliner?
I think it goes with out saying the Mattel Retro paint job is really poor compared to the Hasbro line. Very inconsistent which may explain the above. |

Interesting, I just checked my figures as I have more than one and the eye liner is on a couple of them. I hadn't noticed this before as I also have one with no eye liner. It seems to be in various degrees of thickness as well. As you say, the paint jobs are possibly a little more inconsistent than other figures, although I do recall some of the Hasbro's often having similar differences.
You would think the eye liner would or wouldn't have been on the original designs, though, so I'm surprised some have it and some don't.

Yep, in store I noticed most don't have the eyeliner or to your point, if they do its very faint and the thickness varies. The one I posted a pic of has been done right and looks great. Really sets the figure off. Mattel needs to sort this stuff out. It's not hard. |

Mine does have eyeliner, but it's definitely not as thick or purple as the example photos. it's definitely there, but a lot more subtle. I like the look of both but it'll drive me crazy for the rest of time that there is such a tiny variation, lol.
