Michael Jackson cosplaying as Undertaker 😂 and then the other heads they give us are super old for that era. Kane looks pretty good tho.

Man that torso on Taker is rough as well. With the way the shoulders and the torsos look on Ultimates I wish they’d just stick with elites. Only Ultimate that looked good body wise to me was Macho, or Bret with the jacket on.

I can't get over just how good that Kane looks. It's basically a dream Kane figure of mine since I originally for the Jakks BCA Kane.

That Kane is fantastic really what an amazing figure and upgrade from his 2/ 3 previous figures of that look. That Undertaker is good too, but the headscans definitely leave alot to be desired.

There isn't one single tongue out Taker headsculpt that I like. I understand why it's in there, but like with Hogan I'd rather have one awesome head than 3 mediocre to crap heads, or in this case - 3 crap heads. I'll definitely get Kane. Taker I'm very iffy on. Leaning towards no.

I don't really think the Undertaker torso is that bad, it looks like its leaned forward a little bit and when its fully straightened the gap wont be so extreme. I do think its a shame the scans are so recent, but they at least look close enough to the ambiguous, era-less image of the Undertaker in my head to not be too big of a bother.
That Kane is easily one of the greatest figures they've ever done, seeing the figure I've wanted for nearly a decade now fully realized is amazing.

I don’t like the Ultimate lime and I already have Elite ‘98 Kane, but that looks so good I’ll pick this up. And I doubt we’ll see ‘98 Undertaker in the Elite line after 11 years, so I’ll begrudgingly get South Park MJ Undertaker. Then again, they released an Elite ‘00-‘01 Triple H right after his Ultimate, so let’s hope South Park MJ Taker gets the same. If they don’t, that’s ignorant. Mattel is ignorant.

Just look up a pic of Taker at WM14 and compare it to this figure. Not even close.

Taker's head (the one with the hair hanging down) looks more like Michael Jackson when u zoom in lol .. and the Kane head sculpts seem somewhat off .. idk what it is.. Since this is a kane UE, wouldn't it have made more sense to make his mask removable? ..
Either way, mattel is upping its game with these figures now .. they get better and better .. but these two are a pass for me ..

Removable masks never look good tbh, and Kane never took his mask off in this era. I think the Kane headscans look great.

Kane was never massless or bald in this attire. Zero reason to make it that way.

Re: Taker If they correct that abomination of an entrance head and make the upper torso a bit slimmer then it’ll be good. They have to fix this stuff though because as it is it is just awful. The gloves I can swap out. As a last resort I’m hoping the Bret showdown Taker head comes out ok and I’ll plop that on it. But man that upper torso kills it for me. Same here. Maybe UE Taker can battle UE Jeff Hardy for the worst-torso award... Man that torso on Taker is rough as well. With the way the shoulders and the torsos look on Ultimates I wish they’d just stick with elites. Only Ultimate that looked good body wise to me was Macho, or Bret with the jacket on. This. I'm really not bothered about the new torso and shoulder/butterfly joints... I'd rather have a decent/more realistic looking figure.

No idea what Bill was smoking. It’s awful. Eyebrows all wrong. Beard all wrong. It looks like his face has fallen down his head.

When did Kane ever have/wear a cape? it was a little nod to the house show apperences before his debut

When did Taker start wearing mma gloves? Not 1998? Good talk. They probably should have went with using the ultimate Hollywood hogan glove hands. That would have worked more for this era taker
