Wh, I think I'm done with elite Reigns. I got his last elite with the US title and short hair and arm swapped him with the basic from the Rusev Battlepack (which I got for like 6 bucks). So, now he's got generic black gauntlets, which I like much better than the lame painted-on ones.
So instead of buying another elite Reigns, I'll just get his basics when they come in new colors and if they drop to half off, which they eventually do. So far I got his blue from the US elite, the silver from his E40-whatever (which I got for $10), the gold from his WM32(?) basic, and the red from the Rusev battlepack. Next I hope to get the orange if it ever drops in price.
I really dig swapping his vest for whatever color strikes my mood.

I'll pick this up when Smyth's reduces it to £15. Really only want it for the head.

If they don't want to do the full peck tat, that's fine. However they have to do enough of it so that his bare skin doesn't peek out from the side of the vest, which it does. On the figure I have, you can push the vest over to line up with the end of the tattoo but it won't stay there. And while they are at it, full coverage on that shoulder tattoo as well.

Body accuracy should take precedence over whatever attire used extra budget. Things like this are unacceptable. No attire should be more important than the actual wrestler. I mean...don't bother then. Is that what Reigns looks like? No? Then don't bother. What budget? Roman takes like three colors maybe four if they still want to give him the wrong eye color because WWE gonna WWE WWE don’t make em though. The only folks to blame are those at Mattel

I noticed this in the proto shots, but I don't mind. This is the ideal post-Shield Roman for my fed, and I keep his vest super glued on any way. I don't even see the chest tat on the figure I have now because of that lol.
Those shoes are too fly, I'm getting this figure lol.

Yea not saying it’s totally excusable, but protos and final product pics showed that he didn’t have the full tattoo.

Doesn’t matter much to me since he’ll have the vest on when I use it. Such a dope looking figure regardless. Definitely gonna pick it up when I see it at retail.

Sucks that they're doing this, but this is nothing new. Mattel has been cheapening out a lot lately and people have every excuse to defend them. I wish they could mold his gauntlets again, it's a huge step down that his older figures had them. That and give him a lighter complexion... Roman Reigns is pretty light skinned. His completion is changing every week it seems like, some weeks he looks darker and others lighter

The one I ordered came with the vest unbuttoned/faten ed and it's a bitch to keep it together, is there some special way for it to stay together? It's very annoying especially when it sticks out.

This is one of the many reasons I don't miss no longer being a loose collector. It's so much better being a MOC collector. As long as everything on the surface looks good, no ned to further inspect.
