The worst figure this year was definitely the WCW 2 pack Bret Hart forgot to mention but I agree

Gotta be that damn Bobby Heenan. I think sometimes we mistake shelfwarmers (weasel Heenan, Tito) for bad figs and HTF figs (Harley) as great. If that Heenan was a chase or a numbered exclusive we’d talk about how toyetic it is and how great it is to finally have Bobby in wrestling gear then we’d lament on how amazing he was on the mic. In contrast any fig with a big ass hard goofy cape and a crown that doesn’t stay on would be dismissed if they were given common production numbers. I mean, your mileage may vary, but HTF or not, Heenan in a white snuggy does nothing for me. Heenan is absolutely a figure I'd like to add to my collection, but it would need to be of the suited, managerial variety, and the right opportunity hasn't presented itself to me. That figure could be a 1 of 5 Big Y exclusive, and I'd still think it's hot garbage. FWIW, I thought the Tito figure was fine. I didn't need it, so I never bought it, but it was far from a bad figure. Same goes for a lot of shelf warmers over the years.

Hell no (not hating on you, just my opinion). Firefly Bray Wyatt is the worst thing I've seen this year. They went all out on the packaging, and the accessories but skimped on the one thing that actually matters lol. As a Kane fanboy, the figure is definitely super lazy though.

Hmm... I’d say that’s the worst Kane figure released so far, even though I still want it. The worst would probably have to be that firefly Bray, that thing is just an abomination.

Tito Santana is a great figure and I thought it would sell well when it first came out.

Rhea Ripley Matt Riddle Bret Hart Bray Wyatt
all worse than some Halloween costumed goofball with missing belt studs.

Honestly, Kane is one of my favorite figures of the year. The belt studs are an omission, but it's still a very good figure.
I have plenty of issues with Mattel in recent years. But their design work has largely been top notch, imo.

It’s a very underwhelming/disappointing figure. Worst Kane elite figure, I say.
I figured the same once in hand this figure would look better then pictured, but nah. And besides the waist belt missing detail, the True FX face scan for Kane’s eyes is horrible & piss poor paint app blemishes on the mask & figure. You can’t even see the eye ball detail that good vs the other previous model Kane’s. Called a friend who picked up a Kane as well, & his is the same. Some YT videos I saw had better detail in the eyes, but not has good as previous Kane’s. True FX strikes again.

Far from it, it's a great piece in hand, but the lack of studs isn't the end of the world. Get some silver paint, a toothpick and a steady hand and go to town. Even Legends Heenan is pretty fun. Warmers =/= bad figures. HoF Tito was damn near perfect but he was overproduced but I digress. There's worse figs out there, but it's all in the eye of the beholder. Crap mask scan, skinny body, skinny arms, belt deco missing, gauntlets the wrong way round, laced boots and I’m fairly sure he is smaller than other Kane figures. Overall when you really look at it it is a terrible attempt. IDK, I'm not the most discerning of collectors. Aside from the belt, I wish his hand choices were better. The gauntlet's a nonissue, you can swap them out. You're free to your opinion, but there's much worse out there.

There have been much worse figures this year in my opinion. RSC Wyatt comes to mind.

I have to agree with many here. For a Kane collector, this may seem like the worst, and I would feel safe in saying it's the worst Kane elite there is, but it's hardly the worst figure of 2020.
Matt Riddle's Elite beats it by a long shot. The RSC Bray, if you look past how awesome the accessories and packaging is, is also pretty bad. Also, between scale issues and hatchet-faced sculpts, several basics have been worse than this.
Maybe it's because I'm not the worlds biggest Kane fan, but I didn't look at this figure and say "That's an abomination" like I did with, say, Basic Rhea Ripley. You know that a women's figure is bad when it's a FTiL figure and I still look at it and say "Uhhh, pass"

They’re basically using The Undertaker’s body for Kane. Bill says that they pay attention to every details, but this figure is the complete opposite of paying attention to detail. Looking at every wrestler with the short kickpads mold. Every detail Bill, yeah right

As a legends collector most disappointing was Rocky Johnson, his skin tone is ridiculously too dark. Not sure how Mattel can look at that figure and say yep we nailed it. On top of that Rocky pictures on the box showed how lighter he is. It almost like Mattel and Bill is trolling us. I lost interest in that figure once I saw how dark his skin was.

I think calling it a candidate for worst figure of the year is a bit overblown. Is it 100% accurate? No. Is it still a decent looking figure overall? I think so.
