So can someone explain why they keep putting The Game on Triple H's tights and then they keep removing it (I know the reason is because of the Game rapper; but if they know they have to change it right before they mass produce, why bother?) Is it so someone within Mattel can have a rare figure? Idk but that was the very first thing I noticed about the figure |

Is it so someone within Mattel can have a rare figure? Idk but that was the very first thing I noticed about the figure I'm thinking they can actually use "The Game" on the attire , but they referenced that red HHH proto pic where it's blocked out on the last one, and fixed it for this new one. Either way I'm glad it's coming out. If not a much asked for hHh, this one does the job for sure |

That new Rollins scan is amazing... one of Mattel's best ever!
Loving the WM Hall - although I would have preferred a WM10 Razor.
Backlund looks great too, although the scan is a bit iffy... I'd have LOVED it if he came with an alternative "crazy" head.

Action Figure Attack on Instagram posted that Backlund is a Walmart Exclusive. I saw that also. Big bummer for me. Walmart exclusives have been the hardest for me to track down! |

Is it so someone within Mattel can have a rare figure? I dunno why man but the thing that bugs me (apart from giving him neon pink trunks when they were purple) is that the logo isn't even done correctly. For basically an exact repaint of the fan central figure could they not have put just the tiniest bit of effort in to check what the logo looked like? Search Google triple h wm19 and it's one of the first pics. Basically I have no idea who is doing the colours as well because it's nowhere near what it should be lol  |

If not a much asked for hHh, this one does the job for sure It’s not on the DX Walgreens figure either, and the reference photos of the red attire originally had it but they were reproduced with photoshop later on. Edit: although, having looked at both attires, the red one does not have the black parts that the purple one does, which means the most likely situation here is that they just took the red figure and changed the pigment of everything red to what I’m going to start calling “Mattel purple” without bothering to check if this was correct. |

I'd have LOVED it if he came with an alternative "crazy" head. Completely agree on the Rollins scan. Might be Mattel's best use of face printing. |

How do they mess it up that badly There's only a few possible explanations I can think of. 1. They didn't properly cross reference when designing. 2. Someone has trouble seeing colors correctly and actually thought the colors matched. 3. It was an error from either Mattel's end or the factory's and this isn't how was it was intended to look. Regardless, I really hope they correct this because it's way off and would otherwise be an incredible figure. |

I'm just saying maybe this is a proto of the triple h figure and soon will be corrected. Has been Done before with others. Or maybe the lighting is showing pink rather than purple. Or someone really doesn't care to match atires/colors right.
My guess ...who knows

just like in real life!!! #AccurateScale Ahaha you're terrible, It could just be because I'm looking at it on my phone but something looks a little off hopefully it's just a prototype thing.. Something that may also be throwing you off is that Cole doesn’t wear normal tees for his entrance attire. Maybe one the shirt is rolled up / cut correctly itll look more accurate? |

The purple gloved undertaker is literally blue lol they then waited 5 years to release it again and didn't even fix it |

Action Figure Attack on Instagram posted that Backlund is a Walmart Exclusive. AFA (Mattel employee) followed that up by saying it would be out by the end of this year. He was then asked a follow up question if Blacklund was in series 4 or on his own. AFA answered “you gotta stay tuned for more info...” 🤔 I was the one who asked AFA the question. Very interesting response. There is basically no way Flashback Series 4 will be out by the end of the year, so I’m assuming it’s a stand alone figure. Maybe a NYCC Exclusive or something? |

Mattel gets colors wrong all the time. The elite 20 Punk was more of a reddish/orange rather than orange, the bash at the beach sting had dark green boots rather than lime green, all the DDPs have had the wrong hair color and the list goes on. It’s a mistake that’s constantly annoying.

So...wasn't there supposed to be this huge announcement of a new figure???
It can't possibly be the new HHH or Scott Hall.
