There is an excuse. Mattel is mass producing these and not using printed out stencils. This. Printing a gradient through 4 color process is incredibly expensive and can be a very difficult especially at this size. Man they do it every time they paint Cena's fade.

That's a one color gradient. The DX logo would require 2-3 colors. Also, the logo is much smaller and requires way more precision.

Ive wanted this figure for so long, but that head... its lazy and completely inaccurate for that attire. I can accept and deal with everything from the neck down, actually looks really good, but the head is whats keeping me from preordering this figure

Still irked they're pumping out elite 19 hbk a figure released 4 yrs ago plus we get a botched deco. Awesome!

I think the custom posted in this thread looks way better than Mattel's design. Mattel's looks nothing like HBK from the DX era and doesn't even look like him from any era!
Mattel being lazy again with no blue in the x's.
As for the other upcoming figures recently mentioned, Dude love and The Shark look way better than this lazy effort!

The figure looks good but I agree with some if its going to be an exclusive with a higher price point a new head sculpt would be nice. If hes coming with entrance gear I feel like he should have the ponytail to go with it. Im buying the figure and totally not complaining but that would have knocked it out of the park for me.

The main caveat I have is the lack of facial hair. I might add a bit myself when I get one but I'm satisfied.

Looks pretty awful. Totally understand the financial considerations and why overlooked some stuff, but it's not nearly accurate enough to warrant buying.

I dislike the head they used for him, but other than that it looks like a great figure. Mattel really needs to start putting knee pads on HBK. He wore knee pads over his tights with covers on them to match a lot of the time. The boot to knee ratio on the figs look weird. I think knee pads would put all his figures over the top if you will.

Some of you are acting like an couple dollars warrants new everything. That extra money is to cover the lower quantities and so ringside could make extra $$.

In the past when I've thought about Mattel making this figure (which honestly I never thought they would) I always figured that the vest would be the part that got screwed up. At first glance though, it actually looks like that's the part that they nailed. Kind of a bummer though that yet again, it looks like I'll be buying an HBK fig simply for the attire. If they just nail one mid-to-late 90's head sculpt (other than the very specific WM 30 one) then I'll be happy and will just headswap to my heart's content. Right now though, I'm starting to fear that we're running out of opportunities to see that happen.

This is my all time favorite HBK attire. I was at this PPV when he wore it. I’ll alwats remember my 1st WWE Televised/PPV event!
Would love a HHH with the H CUBED shirt he wore that night also.

RSE IYH HBK saved Ringside Fest in my opinion.
