From those photos, the Godwins don't look as good as I expected after seeing Mabel. I still think Mitch's Mabel is one of the best retros ever done -- and the best of the non-Mattels.

Is the king nelson a fantasy attire? Somewhat. While he did wear those colors, and he did wear a black shirt, I don't think he wore the same exact attire when he was King Mable. He stopped wearing the triangular design on the chest and went more with jagged lines. It's very close to this attire. If he gets rid of the triangular design on the chest, and paints some "lightning bolt" lines, and makes the purple more of a royal purple, then he would have an exact attire. Everything else would be correct, black undershirt, black boots, and black kneepads with a crown decal on them.  |

Mitch was on Sam Roberts’ podcast. I haven’t been able to watch much of it but it’s there for those who are interested.

I’d say Mabel is probably the best retro figure so far from any of the lines. If pretty much stuck to wwe Mattel retro due to my budget but I’m in the hunt for Mabel (I have mo) and I’ll be definitely picking up heenan when he’s available from epic

I didn't mind the not so accurate NYCC repaints, but this, eh, think it could have been much better. Probably in reality should be an updated mold. |

I'm okay with it being the same mold; but he should update the purple paint and add the lightning designs on the gear. Instead of updating the mold, if he could add a crown to go with it, that would be a nice touch. If he does release the King Mabel, then he should also do a Sir Mo. Much like the Mabel, it would just be a repaint.  He could also come with a tiny crown:  Hes not gonna change the mold. He should do the lightening bolts over it tho. Agreed. Instead of entire new molds for both Mabel and Mo, he could just update their head sculpts. See if he could get them with shades on:  If he does go this route, I wouldn't mind the all-gold attire for a chase/exclusive:  |

Who knows at this point lol Yeah, he seemed to contradict himself, saying that it might not get made but it will probably be 500 in total figures made. Cool if it gets made, and that it will come with a crown, but he has to fix the attire (deeper purple and with the gold lines). |

As others have said, the problem with this Mitch is the shade of purple. It is WAY too dark in my opinion

Are you saying that the shade of purple on the prototype is too dark? I would say it's more dull/faded, than dark. |

Yeah, might not be as bad if he makes some changes even w/out a new mold. Do the lightning, do actual gold paint this time, and try and get a shade of purple that really pops and a crown is a must.

Are there any new pictures of Bulldog? ETA Just seen it and it looks great. I really hope Epic change up the sculpt of the '93 WCW version, specifically the tassels on the wrists and legs, and the wide stance. |

Yeah that version kind of looked more like a galoob….which is t necessarily a bad thing… |
