Wasn’t going to buy this, but now that I’ve seen the actual figure I may change my mind. I’m sure MOC collectors will especially like this (I’m not one).

The figure and packaging look outstanding.
But why does one mask look spot on and the other looks... just bad?

Looks VAC to me, maybe bad lighting. This one is still a toss up for me, I just wish ‘Taker had an accurate goatee. He does. Ahhh. Thanks for the reference! I was going based off the picture on the packaging which is an odd choice now.

Not to be the bad guy but...I noticed right away that the facial hair is all wrong. On the box you can clearly see that Taker only has chin hair and a soul patch, yet on the figure it's a full goatee.
Not the end of the world, but slightly annoying. The packaging is absolutely amazing.

Feel the need to write a review on what I’ve seen so far since I’ve been waiting a while to see the actual product of this figure
Good things
Ringside going back to exclusive scans! Going back to the old exclusives like both cm punks and rated R edge, things that always made the ringside exclusives desirable was the exclusive scans, glad to see them going back to it
The packing is a masterpiece
Really enjoy the thicker parts choice here, one of my biggest complaints about undertaker and Kane figures are the lack of bulk to the torso, single sleeve Kane (elite 12?) had a paper thin waist line, Kane was always a thick guy, this torso seems to fit the frame of Kane better, still not perfect cause it’s just a painted over torso, but it will do better than that skinny one
The mask, unbelievable how they pulled this off, must buy simply because of this alone, near perfect likeness
Bad things
Paint job on both masks seems to be just as bad as the rest have been
Undertaker head seems to sit higher than it should
Still has laced boots
That Kane head has to be the work Kane scan ever, even dating back to the BCA jakks days, the color red looks very dull probably because it’s not painted red but molded from red plastic, under eyes are red and beard is also red, please retire this scan
Not sure why that picture of taker is on the box, totally not accurate to what’s inside, not a big deal but not happy about it
Over all, I do love it and hope to get it sooner than the estimate of late oct

I was gonna pass on this one too because I dropped 50 bucks on a HOC Kane. But man, this is tempting. I might order this figure with NXT Andrade.

Taker looks like a car backfired in his face.

The packaging is absolutely amazing. Again, the facial hair is not wrong. I'm guessing they didn't have a picture from when he did it here in 98, so they used one from 99.

Now that we got an elite 2 sleeved Kane are there any versions of the character that we’re missing? I wouldn’t mind a figure of him when he first unmasked. Other than that, I’m drawing a blank on what hasn’t been done. Early appearances wearing a cape?

Other than that, I’m drawing a blank on what hasn’t been done. Early appearances wearing a cape? There are a few, like Survivor Series 2001. Also his all black attire from No Way Out that year. And if you count it as different, his see-through top from 1999.

Hands down the best packaged figure Mattel has ever made. I thought the Slim Jim Macho Man was solid, but this, this is fantastic!

And of course, there's also Kane dressed as Undertaker, which would make for another cool Ringside exclusive.

Plus watch the ending.

I think there was a missed opportunity to also include a Luke Gallows head 😆 do it yourself
