Mattel REALLY needs to do some new Bret heads. Every single head they've done so far looks absolutely nothing like him. Even my girlfriend saw the Bret figures on my shelf and said they looked nothing like him. I think it’s similar to the Macho Man thing. Much too late to scan so they’re trying to sculpt from reference pics, and the iconic look is always with glasses on. I still find the original Hasbro figures of both to be the best likenesses, and I think that’s at least partly because the glasses don’t come off.

I don’t think any of his (Bret’s) likenesses from Mattel are bad. It’s just the strands of hair they put in front that make them look bad. Glasses on it’s not too bad, but that hair ruins the look when the glasses are off.

For the people getting it, you plan on keeping it MOC or you opening? I'm planning on opening the set. I'm a mark for Bret Hart elites. However, the 2 pack looks cool MOC. If I can get a second to keep MOC, I will.

(And maybe not have him smirking next to the guy who accidentally ended his career)

Had Bret Hart wrestled in NXT Bill never would have butchered this figure so badly.

I’m more disappointed in the faded pink or salmon color attire for Bret.

Yeah Bret's notoriously not very well depicted in figures (video games too). Most companies don't even quite grasp the colour of his hair being dark brown (oiled), not jet black.

Ah, well I wonder if they could scan him as he is now and just de-age him for the figures? I don't know. But I do know he's dead, just in the inside. I'll get me coat....

Honestly I been wanting a WCW Bret for so long from Mattel and here comes one and while I’m not as shocked about the head cause I have the UE Bret, that Salmon is just unavoidable haha.
I’m likely gonna still cop cause as someone in here said, this is prob gonna be the only WCW attire Bret from Mattel we get. I gotta get it before it becomes one of those eBay classics
