I have to agree with you, upon looking at it first glance I knew something was off. Ringside exclusives are nice, but half the time I feel like we're short changed. First off, Mattel refuses to give him kneepads and yes I know bill has stated that it's redundant to place it over his tights... however tons of figures get kneepads with designs over their tights etc... I'd rather get the kneepads with the design over the tights rather than the design and no kneepads. Every hbk figure feels incomplete, either there's no chest hair etc, kneepads, wrong headscan... jakks even got the X's right with the proper shading. The headscan should of been retooled at the very least, but it's the least of my problems. I just want a hbk with kneepads. I'm tired of paying $26 ($32 shipped) for inaccurate figures. If budgeting is a problem for exclusives why not settle for more simpler attires with either a soft good or exclusive accessory and make this HBK an DM? I'll be passing on this one.

I prefer the Jakks version because of head. IMO the Jakks scan was the best head of any HBK figure made to date.

Hey! Where’s the Ken Shamrock that will compliment this figure? I’m kidding, of course. I’m not allowed to complain on here ever again. However, if MDT WANTED to make another Ken Shamrock...

The X's really arent that big of a deal. The only problems I have is them reusing the chaps from the WMXXX figure and not using the head.

It’s an awesome figure and one of my favorite attires/eras and without a doubt I’m getting it BUT I do have to say the chaps and head are COMPLETELY off. The tiny color on the Xs and the knee pads don’t bother me much because in my opinion they’re minor. It’s just those damn chaps and head are sooooo Fn inaccurate lol
*sigh* oh well

This is why we can't have nice things. No it's not lol I agree with HBK lacking knee pads and the Entrance chaps are completely incorrect. Mattel cutting corners where they can. Which is something we should be used to but with HBK, they should go all out for that price. Btw I'm up for 3 more shamrock (blue, green and black)

Yeah, the head isn't that great but it's better than that Network Spotlight head, that's for sure.

Mattel cannot get a good HBK head scan. I dont like any of them, I showed my brother my HBK collection and he said none of them look anything like him, the worse being the one with blue and black tights. Edge is another they struggle with. I dont know what it is with HBK but they are struggling to nail him which is a pitty because its ruining our figures of one of the wwe legends.

I would take accurate scale and overall better accuracy over anything Jakks did any day. This figure really needed a new head though, cool figure otherwise.

I actually like that head sculpt and I know for a fact it looks much, much better with some color treatment to the hair and stubble added because I've made a lot of customs using it. The hair style is still incorrect but it works fine for me once you fix the color and add the stubble. The color on the X's is inaccurate though and does bother me but I'm willing to overlook it. And before edge lord Boot Party or one of his other 50 non-banned accounts try to argue with me over it, no I didn't need to check Google to notice it. You can even see the difference in the color on the pic on the back of the box. Here's a custom I made with a wash added to the hair and the stubble added. The hair color difference is kinda hard to tell in the photos but both make the head look a lot better for this attire. This old man Shawn head had the correct hair style but the face looks old from the front so it's not really ideal either: Regardless, I'll definitely be getting the fig and have a feeling it'll sell out fairly quickly like Punk and Edge a few years back. Fixing the head will go a long way and I'm so happy they included the entrance gear too as it looks so awesome. The personalized DX box just takes it to that next level.

Some are literally never happy. The attire looks GREAT, too.

I can't see the Xs, are we sure they're not accurate?

I can't see the Xs, are we sure they're not accurate? The Xs on the figure don't look uniformly neon green the whole way down. They could very well have some blue at the ends. Of course, knowing how small detailwork gets botched, I'm shocked people want them to try to do a gradient design like that.

I’m really not one to complain about figures as they’re just toys but I legit debated about making this thread myself. This attire has been a top 5 want of mine for years and the main reason is because I love the green to blue fade. I’m superrrrr bummed it’s not included. Mad? No way, just a toy. But do I wish he blue was in there? Absolutely.
And I’m someone who can easily overlook incorrect boots, body part choices, and lack of knee pads. I mean whatever in the end because I’m obviously still buying it, but still wish the blue was included.

My biggest issue with these 90s HBK figures is the lack of knee pads. They were a prominent part of his attire. How is it that we got an EG basic HBK with knee pads in 2010 but can’t get them on an elite today?
