Packaging the US title for this set is lame. Goldberg wasn't even US champ at the time. Nor was Bret Hart.
Not to mention, Bret Hart wasn't even wearing ring gear for this angle. He was wearing his WCW Bret Hart/hockey jersey and a Maple Leafs jersey and jean shorts. Goldberg was wearing a warmup suit and not ring gear either.
We waited years to finally get the US title belt, I'm a little disappointed they are doing it for this.

Judging by the description on the back of the box, the set is a mash of their whole rivalry in the fall (where Bret beat Goldberg for the US Title), and the plate is there to aknowledge how that segment in March sorted the angle. It's a bit of a stretch, but it doesn't bother me much tbh because I'd much rather a ring-gear WCW Bret than one in jorts. (Though man I hope that color looks better in person, because they whiffed on the WCW shade intros pictures)

This is really sad as it's become a Mattel calling card to pull this kind of stuff.

I’ll be honest I didn’t mind that it was a mash up, but more upset that after so long they mess up Bret. I could of taken the reused Goldberg, the inaccurate shirt, but to screw up the color on the attire? It’s disappointing. Then we also have to swap the head on this Bret on top of that. I’m really REALLY hoping that Mattel releases a color corrected version, it’s just unacceptable. The pink should be somewhat of a highlighter almost purplish pink.

Like they couldn't give Goldberg swappable hands or removable jacket and pants either.

I was more than ready to buy this set but that Bret is fugly. Whoever cleared that color choice and that bad sculpt getting reused really needs to have their position in the company re-evalued. Plus like, at the very least, you could have just released a regular Bret shirt over some nitro shirt neither men wore.

It's been a pretty demanded figure on here since I joined in 2012.

The pink should be somewhat of a highlighter almost purplish pink. Bret's WCW attires in late 99 did have a bit of a magenta thing going on, so I get what they were going for. But they seemingly whiffed on it badly, unless those are just the worst lit photos of all time.

On his Instagram Jeremy showed how much of a difference lighting can make. Also Bret looks to have pretty strong stubble?

But the color just looks too washed out in the loose and packaged photos to leave me optimistic. To me Bret is the key piece in the set, so if they miss on him it really kills the whole thing.

It's a common thing at this point. I'm hoping there's a revisit on a second wave or something. I would of taken a lighter shade of pink over this any day.

They mashed up orange trim Survivor Series ‘96 and WCW Bret to make this spoiled salmon orange monstrosity. 😑 I don’t blame anybody that steals that belt.

Very nice they’re giving us two Goldberg heads. One is a fix-up they owe us for that grey lip monstrosity.

Can’t steal from a set that isn’t sold in retail You mean like those people who "don't" steal belts and return the figures back, with the excuse that the package never came with the belt...
