I understand critism but I love it when folks will not buy a figure because of the nitpicking. Means you didn't want it in the 1st place. I truly thank you folks for it because it'll be much easier for me to pick up. Yeah... if I really wanted a figure, I'd buy it regardless of its' faults. I suppose if you're on the fence about it though, things like this would put you off. |

It does look weird even though I'll still get it. Going off topic here but is the scale of that basic Shawn Michaels correct or is the Vince too tall? Both lol Vince is like 6’8” and Shawn is like 5’8”   Literally almost every  ing pair of suit legs are TOO DAMN TALL. |

So this has really bugged me for some reason. I get that Vince was a last-minute addition to this wave to compensate for Ambrose but c'mon MDT enough with your SPREADSHEETS!!!! *** Warning *** not for the faint of heart. I realized he needed a BAF lower torso to use the shorter suit legs; so I took it upon myself to split the torsos of a spare BAF I had and the E70 Vince.  So with the lower torso replaced with a BAF connection, I can easily mix & match trousers. The jacket is rubber so a dip in hot water makes it manageable to get off the figure.  (will repost in fix-up thread too) Now Vince has a much more manageable height, better matching clothes, and brings this figure way up in my personal all time favourites   |

I remember Vince making that face quite often back in the day. He would do it whenever someone like Jesse Ventura would make a insulting remark towards him. I think that is what they were going for.

The height is ridiculous, I’m no expert on parts but certainly Mattel must have the parts to make him the right size. Mattel screwed up this figure plain and simple.

We should've expected the height problem. Mailaway Vince and Network Vince are exactly the same. For those that don't want to take him completley apart like Bandy u can switch his lower legs with Baf Heyman's lower legs.

This brings me back to the days of Superstars when Vince was commentating with Jesse Ventura. He was like an overly excited kid cheering on all the face wrestlers and getting agitated when ever the heels would cheat or Ventura would mock some of the face wrestlers. The accessory is the interview podium where they would have Mean Gene talking to the wrestlers in front of the crowd.

 I think the sculpt is def. really good but looks like it's probably the paint work on the eyes that make it look off a bit. Maybe a bit more of a 'beady little eyes' look as Austin always would say. And having the eyes looking off to the side like his pictures rather that straight ahead would help too I think. |

For those that don't want to take him completley apart like Bandy u can switch his lower legs with Baf Heyman's lower legs. It's not that easy - I tried doing this at first switching at the knees with Heyman's shins, but the knee joint is slightly different and leaves a gap. So I tried switching everything from the thigh joints down, but again it didn't line up (long and short suit legs are different sculpts). So then I went extreme and split the hips to switch out the majority of Heyman's legs (my earlier pic on page 4) and I still wasn't satisfied. This is the best solution I can think of, but yes it's not for everyone if you want to risk damaging a $30 figure:  |

The e70 head isn’t perfect but the network spotlight doesn’t work for me either.

That looks good with the Heenan legs. |

Is this figure as tall as the TRU Mailaway one?

The photo on back of box looks like an attitude era Vince photoshopped tbh. It is. AND its terrible. Who photoshops these packages? |

The scan just makes me think that Bill has done a stealth release of Michael Buffer.

Because there are a lot of unknowing posters on here that like to nitpick. Also, I’m assuming a lot of color blind peopleBut not as many as on the Mattel design team. |
