I love that we're getting a new line but I am done with Savage. He looks nice but I don't need any more. Now I missed out on the Rockers and I hate myself for that but I will pick up Shawn though it's REALLY pointless without Marty. Oh well, instant buy for me.

Yes! So happy we are getting this but the zebra stripes on the attire are kind of basic. It would be nice to see 2 colors per instead of just one but beggers cant be choosers and ive been begging fir this for years
Jannetty is off limits due to the lawsuit so bill gave us what he could. Im buying two and swapping a jannetty head
Oh and those kneepads are horrible lol. They should be medium or small kneepads

If it isn't a two pack with Marty, please Mattel stick with singles HBK figures.

From the article: "The Savage and Michaels figures will be available exclusively at GameStop this spring." I finally figured out why HBK looks weird... aside from the unpainted calves and monochromatic zebra stripes, it looks like they inverted the design. The yellows and greens should be swapped with the blue, to give it the underlaying look.

So between this and the RSC HBK, I think it's safe to say mattel can't produce gradient colors. It's my favorite Rockers attire, but I'd have preferred they go with something like the paint splatter attire if gradient wasn't possible.

Should of been smaller knee pads. And the jackets would of been cooler then the straps across the chest which you can’t tell what is even is. Yeah, 9 times out of 10 the kneepads should be smaller. As for the jackets, I agree with you, but there's no way we'd have gotten a jacket with that color scheme. (Well, maybe some crappy rubber coat that would make the figure look even worse.) I think the problem is that the chest straps aren't shiny. Agree with all you said. I wanted this attire and it’s amazing how Mattel nail some really detailed attire like asuka yet botch this one. Even the stripes on the pants are one color instead of all three throughout the Pants. Chest straps aren’t shiny like you said. Knee pads too big (but common for Mattel) Just looks like a paint spill. I wanted to like this but think I’ll stick with my original rockers.

My biggest worry about having flashbacks in store exclusive lines is less budget space for deco and tooling due to smaller print runs.

It's my favorite Rockers attire, but I'd have preferred they go with something like the paint splatter attire if gradient wasn't possible. I agree. The figure looks off, and if mattel can't do gradient colors then they shouldn't try to do figure attires that use gradients. Plus the knee pads are way too big and the design around his boots looks ridiculous, they should have just painted the design on the boots. I would have preferred the attire from the magazine picture you posted. I also wouldn't have minded the attire from Survivor Series 91 - my favorite of theirs. I doubt we will see a Jannetty figure with the lawsuit still going on, but when it is over, hopefully they will make a Jannetty figure to match any Rocker Shawn Michaels figure they make. Survivor Series 1991:

I'd like to see a Marty Jannetty to go with that Shawn. Atleast fix the knee pads.

The point is people wanted it via poll and Jannetty is of limits AT LEAST until after the concussion lawsuit. If he’s off limits this should have waited.
