I'll be honest, I feel like a lot of the RSE are just thrown together. I mean look at the DX Shawn Michaels (so many inaccuracies), Hardcore exclusive Kane, Kurt Angle shield figure, Wolfpac Sting and now this Bray. I think you're mostly paying for a highly decorated box at times. I have no means to get this figure, but I feel the frustration. It's just thrown together, Hacksaw torso and Bray Wyatt pants, then you look at the basic and it has the proper tooling. This kind of stuff is happening too frequently and I think at this point some of these "don't like it, don't buy it" guys might be right. You can hurt them with your wallet BUT... The issue with this is if you don't support the line then you get no figures. I'm still upset about the WCW Bret being the wrong color. For those of you who see my posts I've been REQUESTING this figure for a long time. So I know what it's like to have something like this happen because chances are we'll never get another WCW Bret. They could of used any shade of pink like the previous Brets and it wouldn't have been as bad... For the most part, Mattel does an astounding job on their figures and I believe they set the bar for creating wrestling figures with scaling, unique molds etc. They should continue to do deliver like they once did, lately they've been cheapening out and cutting a lot of corners. They should be called out on it because otherwise it will just get worse. did you ever get a reply on what the hell they were going for with that colour of bret? I’ve asked why DoD Kofi Kingston has painted on knee pads at least three times and it’s been ignored every single time.

I probably overemphasized the pants part - it was more the flare out they have at the bottom that confused me and less so the color. And thanks for confirming the torso will not simply be a shirtless torso just painted red - I think? I feel like I may be coming off as dense on this, but that photo released last week did not look like final product and I’m not certain I am totally following your responses on this. Apologize again if I am being dense. Thanks. You’re essentially getting what you saw in that photo with the belly button sculpted details removed.

Easily the worst RSC Exclusive to date. As well as one of the Worst figures they've made in general, the thing looks like it came straight of out late 2009 Jakks!
I said it in the SDCC thread, but i'll say it again. The Basic is 1000x better than this garbage... In 2020, a Basic is outshining an Elite, this is groundbreaking. To call that a 'RSC Exclusive' is hilarious, the figure barely looks like it's worth $5. I also said this in the SDCC thread, but they should just switch the two. Put the Basic as the RSC, and the Elite in the Basic line.
- From lazy painted on torsos - To the abundance of tights legs used for trunks guys - To confusing missing details on attire - To painted on kneepads - To incorrect kickpads & Chicken legs used on a First Time figure - To the once again incorrect kickpads on a guy that collectors have constantly asked to be fixed... It seems like they're getting lazier & lazier as each year rolls by. For every great figure they release, there's 3 cheap, awful custom-esque looking figures.

Yikes just seen this lol. That is a bad/lazy figure...up there with Shield Angle. And I swear weren't they giving away shield angles at one point if you spent so much lol?

It was ignored just like my question months ago asking for laceless boots for Undertaker and Kane. I honestly don't think there's any excuse for that pink. It's Chinese New Years!

The basic in the box with the puppets would honestly look better than that elite. Pass for me

Angle wasn’t a RSC exclusive. It was a TRU exclusive that Mattel has made and offered to RSC once TRU closed. Can’t blame RSC for that figure.

Naked Mark Henry. This is Mattel’s. It’s an embarrassment of an elite figure. I’d rather they packed the puppets with the basic and knocked £10 off the price. Whoever green lit that fig needs to give their head a wobble.

In order for mattel to change their ways, you guys have to not purchase it and let it rot on rsc. But you guys won't, youll still buy it and and continue to bitch and complain, and bend over and take it from mattel every time.
Happens.every.time.

Okay first off the head and accessories look great. After that however it all goes to crap! The pants are the wrong color and too baggy. Now onto the main culprit. They used the hacksaw torso which is made for a bare Chested person and simply painted it red!? If this isn’t lazy then what is? I understand mattel has 100s of figures they are always working on however incorrect colors not even incorrect shade of colors are inexcusable. Painted bare chested torsos for wrestlers supposed to be wearing clothes also terrible. We have already seen that with hardy figures. Okay rant over I agree, but he actually did wear a red sweatshirt with black pants on an episode of firefly funhouse(episode where he did the limbo)before. Figure is accurate except the boots. Still wish it didn’t have the red painted on the torso though.

Yes unfortunately I think we in Canada got the worlds leftover supply of shield Angles. Most of our Toysrus stores are swimming in them with some having as many as 30. Then people wonder why they won't bring in new stock

Honestly tho FFH Bray isn’t complete without the puppets. If they had to go cheap on the figure to work them into the budget then I’m cool with it. The figure doesn’t look that bad. I’m sure MOC with Funhouse themed packaging it’ll look great.

The basic looks incredible. I'm sure the RSC exclusive will look just as good when we see the final version. That was just an early prototype. Agreed

So it's confirmed the figure is as is minus the belly button. I don't believe the budget went toward a few small plastic puppets and they couldn't fit in a cloth sweater. The fact that this is a ringside exclusive for a higher price point makes it just a rushed lazy cash in.

On the plus side, this could drop dramatically in price over time if few people buy it and then we can get it mainly just for puppets at a much lower price. lol

The basic is far and away better, especially considering that this is essentially a non-in-ring character, so articulation is not really as required. I can see why some people might feel the need to have the puppets, but I don't, since I'm not really that big a fan of the gimmick anyway and am only getting it because he's an essential main event guy.

I truly hope they retool him before it’s release because it obvious they have the proper parts for a correct elite funhouse bray.

It’s am embarrassing level of quality for sure.
A Firefly Funhouse Bray was easily a definite buy for me but upon seeing it it’s an incredibly easy pass. Their loss, though. If they make an improved one down the road I’d purchase one.
