Could you please post of picture of your customized Tatanka? I love the figure, but him having that super ripped torso made zero sense. Sure thing, the Tatanka idea came straight from Affliction: Elite Trader; and I've always thought the torso would make a great 80s Hogan when he was 300+ lbs. Rick Martel needs this torso too. Tatanka with the Sheik torso instantly became one of my favorite Mattel’s. I love Hogan with the torso too. I’m interested in seeing Martel but I think his head might be a tad too small.

Martel certainly wasn’t skinny like Tito, he had a noticeable muscular gut, Moreso when he was the Model, we should roll the tape!

I feel like he (Martel) was muscular but barrel chested. So he had an odd looking build.

Martel was thin in his AWA/Strike Force days yes, but As the Model, he definitely had a muscular gut - I really do think Iron Sheik's torso is the best pick for him too:

Stooges was pointless juvenile humour imo Whether or not they were humorous is irrelevant...They were key players to the product in the late-90s. Exactly!

Guy looked the same in 1980.
As great as he was, the stooge gimmick is more memorable to the masses and will appeal more to a wider variety of collectors.
Sorry the toy made for children isn’t directed towards hardcore wrestling fans

Affliction: Elite Trader which hip joints did you use for Sheik?? friggin awesome fixups! I think Hogan needs his stock shoulders (like boulders) though.

This is clearly a toy marketed for adult collectors.

Yeah, the more I look at this one, the less I'm wanting it. The original IC belt, accurate attire and head to go with it would've been a nice idea -- but that's asking too much, lol.

If there's one thing I lose sleep over, its the lack of an 80s Patterson, definitely
Its a nice figure

This is clearly a toy marketed for adult collectors. And the majority of adult collectors don’t remember him for anything else either. Bitch all you want, more than half the people complaining about it not being an accurate flashback of him to his title win, weren’t alive and don’t actually care or know what it’s supposed to look like without googling. Everyone knows he was the first IC champ, but not everyone has actually seen the match.

Everyone knows he was the first IC champ, but not everyone has actually seen the match. I wasn’t arguing for an accurate late 70s/early 80s version. I was simply saying that this figure wasn’t made for kids. Personally I wish they woulda went all in with the AE version instead of trying for a 2 in 1. The figure is probably less accurate as an AE version than it is 80s version.

This figure doesn't impress me in person.
