Unfortunately these days everyone has to be right and can’t accept others opinions. No. You’re wrong. Maybe if I shoved my head up your ass, you’d understand! ... Am I doing this right? Lmao, right away I thought of Tommy Boy when he said something about shoving his head up a cows ass, but he’ll take the butchers word for it.

I'm usually in the "they're just $20 toys, they aren't going to be perfect" camp. But for me this figure just misses the mark on one of my favorite teams and an attire I've been wanting in figure for 25 years. I just can't objectively look at that figure and say it looks attire in the photo. That's just me, and I certainly don't fault those who are happy with the figure.
Silver lining: we have seen changes made between protos and the figure hitting retail before. Fixing the colors on the tights is probably impossible due to the gradient, but the kneepads and hair color would be easy fixes before the figure goes into production.

Looks about right 😆 I can't wait for the inevitable comments about Shawn's hair not being right and how it ruins the figure well look at the comparison pic other dude put up. he has Janetty's hair color. wtf is that?

I don’t see how Mattel looks at that Michaels figure and then back at the reference material and then back at the figure and say “looks like it’s back to the drawing board”. I appreciate the effort dont get me wrong but this seems a little too far off. I only collect golden-attitude so I love any flashbacks we get but if you can’t execute the tights due to restrictions (budget/paint app or otherwise) then choose a different attire maybe.

Just saying...the details on elite demon Balor. Asuka, rvd etc seemed more challenging then what they could of done with the pants for rockers Shawn.

Honestly, who knows what they were able to spend for these exclusives.
The macho is just a straight repaint of the UM savage (nothing wrong with that) and this michaels figure is missing things.
Probably has something to do with the deal they made with GameStop

You defend Mattel from criticism like you have your life savings invested in their stock. That's not defending Mattel. That's being over listening to people bitch that a toy isn't available where they live. A toy. And there is ebay. So ya know, available and crap. Get your lives together. The problem is that Mattel distributes world wide, but unlike Hasbro or other companies, when they have an exclusive line associated with a chain that isn't available in other countries, they don't offer that exclusive line to a chain located in the countries in question. At which point yes, their only option is eBay, but then they're paying ridiculous scalper prices. It's lost revenue and in my opinion, a stupid decision on Mattel's part.

Perhaps you should apply for a job there then. What field do you currently work in?

I just find the distribution decisions to be frustrating when every other company seems to have a proper workaround when it comes to overseas distribution deals. But your snark wasn't necessary.

Michaels is flawed, but looks good enough to me that I’d make t one of my rare Mattel pickups if/when I see it. As for the lack of Marty, it doesn’t bother me. I understand the completist mentality, and I don’t judge anyone who has it, but to me capturing all eras of HBK’s career is more important than getting another complete Rockers.

They ain't hurting for money. I say it all the time, and people always get mad, but if you can't afford it at whatever price it is available to you, you can't afford it. If its 100 bucks on eBay, and that's outta your range, live without it. Either by just not having it or finding a more suitable hobby to your funds. Not pointing just at you, just in general.

I'm not a fan of the bulky arm bands and leg wrap things. But overall I think Shawn is good enough that I will preorder him. I can paint the hair myself if it comes out that dark and the knee pads can come off if they don't switch them to a smaller pad. The arm bands and the boot warmers though, I just don't like that look.
I don't have them so I don't know, but I'm wondering how the new lower legs on the Uso's would look on that Shawn? I feel like something like that would be a better option than a quarter inch thick piece of rubber wrapped around his boot.

I was trying to say that the hair isn't even the most questionable thing about the figure, the figure itself is already ruined but the hair is kind of the icing on the crap cake. Love the savage though, it's like the best/worst of mattel in one pic.

No business looks at it's profit margins and says "we've made too much money"
