Not sure I’m seeing a good likeness of him in that head scan, will need to see better pics of it before deciding to get this one.

Great, another Rock figure I don’t have to get.

And they're missing the brahma bull logo on both the tank top and the pants. Sigh. I believe the Brahma bull logo shown is part of the rocks brand personally, not wwe, which means Mattel probably wouldn’t be able to use it, if they could I’m more than sure they would, unlike the Brahma bull that’s coming out on the rock with the ultimate edition, that was just his signature logo but still part of wwe, idk I could be wrong but I feel like that’s what Steve would say. Ah, understood. Thank you for clarifying. Well that being said its not a bad figure at all but a pass for me personally.

We complain about The Rock getting his oversized torsos when he shouldn't, this time it's the opposite lol, he should've got the bigger torso. Great figure, would've got it if I hadn't got the same basic So 2003 Rock gets the super ripped torso and modern Rock gets the "standard" one. I'll stop here.

C’mon guys, the torso is just the design decision they (Bill) decided to take. Leave them alone.

Easiest Elite pass in a very long time. Those arms are absolutely unfathomable for The Rock. The same way you don’t give short legs to Braun Strowman or the Undertaker, you don’t give cruiserweight arms to The Rock. Very very careless mess up this time.

Didn’t we get a basic rock like this?

I love how elite 23 modern-day Rock was finally given the super-heavyweight torso but they gave him those ridiculously small arms. Now they go back to the smaller torso and keep the small arms when Rocky today is physically bigger than 99% of the roster.
But let me guess...”spreadsheets...”

Didn’t we get a basic rock like this? Yes. They release basics and elites in the same attire all the time. And if they’re gonna do a modern Rock that’s pretty much all they can do.

Why does it feel like “design” has been phoning it in? The arms on this rock, the calves on heenan, the height of orndorff, Matt riddle, dibiase with a vest instead of the jacket,etc etc I’m sure there’s more that’s just off the top of my head at the moment.

Instant buy if it had the bigger, proper torso. Not getting it though unless it’s somehow changed.

They've had their feet under the table for ten years now - so they can get away with pretty much anything. Besides, Steve said in the Q&A, they get things wrong on purpose - or "by design"... so I don't know why people expect anything different at this point. Also, on another note, I just wanted to say, it's 'Under Armour' - it's actually spelt properly. I only own one pair of UA boxers... and I wouldn't have bought those, if if they had 'armor', on them. And they're missing the brahma bull logo on both the tank top and the pants. Sigh. I’m telling you it was gonna be a “modern” look since we got a Flashback, is the same with elite 84 Jeff, don’t expect a classic look.. Overall I wish he had cloth track pants, but other than that looks good to me. Good,'cos I want a current Jeff with the new back piece. I've no interest in any old, inkless, Jeff Hardy figs.

I would have given both the Rock and the Austin the DM Steamboat arms (the ones Ziggler has been getting since e19) or at the very least Rock those arms and Austin the arms used for the RSC Hall.
