It's laziness at its finest and reminds me of JAKKS. This is the original 2008/9 tanktop mold being used for a completely different type of top and being painted over. I stopped collecting in 2016 and just recently started paying attention again and can't believe the garbage I'm seeing. The quality sure has gone down in general from the few things I've seen. Using a barechested mold would be better than this.

That’s been a head scratcher for me as well. I feel like all the Jeff’s have been excellent, except for the fact that it has the tank top mold. It’s super distracting and imo ruins them. I’m not sure how it hasn’t been fixed when it’s been brought up numerous times. I did ask Steve a while back about correcting it and he said that it would be fixed for the next releases. Not sure when though :/ When does Jeff’s contract expire?

It’s not laziness, it’s ‘Bill’s design choice’ I guess. Or China factory error. Lol sorry. 2-3 years and they still couldn’t change it.
They need someone to oversee this stuff who isn’t colour blind and can see when to use the correct parts, like a proof reader but for toys lol.

There’s definitely a case of when they figure out part selection for a specific character, that’s basically always the part selection. There’s a relatively low amount of changes to parts. You only really see it if someone starts wearing a vastly different type of gear, like Rollins switching from Shield to tights, or when they create an entirely new mold, like Ryback. You sometimes see different parts for Triple H or Hogan, but it’s not often.
One the one hand, I guess it does help with budget to get other new stuff. But on the other hand, I do often feel like I’m pretty much rebuying the same thing over and over.

It makes no sense. I’d rather they just use a non-tank top mold. Same goes with Johnny Gargano’s boots, Bruan’s teeny tiny hands, etc. But I think Jazwares is going to force Mattel to step up their game in their parts selection.

The molded tank over a long sleeve outfit is definitely a head scratcher.

2 long years have already been gone and still this is an issue most of my Jeff Hardy Figures do not have painted on tank top mold bcoz of the same reason.

It’s Mattel - WWE. It’s what they do.

Is there any reason to think we'll even see another Jeff? Nothing was shown at SDCC and his deal should be expiring sometime this year. Maybe he re-signs, but that's far from a guarantee.

Why would they change it? Clearly lt’s the wrong part choice, but people are still buying all his figures so it must not be a issue for most people..,so they aren’t going to change it. Once they started giving Ziggler the jacked up arms and legs with E19 I stopped buying his elites (Unless I need a pair of those DM Steamboat arms), but again unfortunately most people don’t care and still buy them. So as long as a majority of people are willing to buy them with those parts why would Mattel change them?

I haven't watched Jeff in years. I genuinely thought he was wrestling in black-on-black layers now. What a weird choice.

Jazwares parts are close enough that they don’t look cartoony, yet they’re all distinct.

It's very confusing, considering that the t-shirt mold (MVP, Goldust, E41 Ambrose) was used as recently as E75 Hurricane. And also the E57 shirtless Jeff was perfect

Jeff still uses the molded tank top.
Braun still uses the high boots from when he was with the Wyatt family
Woman who don't use bra as their gear still get bra molds
Wrestlers with regular kickpads still get short kickpads. Only Kevin Sullivan should get those short kickpad molds.
Where's the logic in any of these issues...

Meanwhile Xpac gets unique kneepads molds, Kairi Sanes one figure gets a unique elbow pad mold, people get capes/crowns/canes and all sorts of crap that gets used once or twice, AND ALL 10? AJ STYLES elites HAVE CLOSED ELBOW PAD MOLDS!!! Add the 500 basics too...

Probably the same reason they keep giving Gargano the tiny kickpad mold.
