That road Dogg is so awful. The likeness looks nothing like him. I have to buy it because I want the entire dx army but I don't think he looks good. Have they done better likenesses on past road Dogg figures?  ^This is still my favorite Road Dogg, even though I think the pants are from his 2014 run. I swapped out his former Elite arms so he has colored tattoos and added the hat the Elite has. Looks pretty good IMO. They really need to just do a molded shirt Road Dogg with the cloth DX Jersey (modified to be PG because it has to be). Something like a slightly baggy version of the new MVP Elite torso, minus the zippers and whatnot. Then you can do either the barcode as an Elite or redo the crappy massive RD shirt his first figure had. I'm not thrilled with this Legends RD at all. If Billy has the rarely worn white tights and RD has the early Outlaws look, why didn't Billy just have the blue or black long tights? He wore black boots for both of those attires, so it wouldn't distract from the camo look.  ----- Oh well. At least Mean Mark is cool. That was a great idea for a figure. I dig Chyna's wild hair in this one, too. I love the Edge in white tights - they finally got his sculpt right from that era! I just wish the jacket was black. The figure I'm most excited for is the upcoming X-Pac. I'm dying for the green attire (inverse to his last Elite), but the white and green would suffice, too. You know what? X-Pac would be a great choice for a chase version. |

Road Dogg definitely should’ve had a molded sleeveless shirt underneath. I do like seeing his full tattoos on his forearms. Chyna & Mean Mark’s vests look a bit cheap. Not a fan of the ripped legs on MM. Thought they would’ve saved this maroon jacket for the matching tights The jacket that matches normal Edge’s tights would’ve been really sweet in figure form The chase tights immediately reminded me of the No Mercy 2001 commercial & his IC ladder match vs Christian While I love the white & gold, I kinda wish they went with King of The Ring victory attire just to complement the jacket Yeah, the maroon tights with that jacket would have been perfect...Instead they gave him two different tights, neither of which he wore with that jacket? Such an odd decision. KOTR 2001 would have been great too! They could have given him the Stanley Cup style King of the Ring trophy. Edge did wear the red tights with this jacket on September 20, 2001 Edition of Smackdown v Kanyon. So the chase is accurate in that regard. |

Have they done better likenesses on past road Dogg figures? Really? I think this head (which is the same as the Hall of Champions) is one of the best Mattel has ever done. |

Cold take: Mean Mark should have been the RSC exclusive. I'm not sure which lineup is weaker between 13 and 14.

But it’s from how others see it. |

I mean 14 has one of the biggest stars in the companies history in Edge and two members of arguably the biggest group in the companies history. |

Mean Mark looks great, but I wish they would have done the kneepads half-black and half-red (like the elbow pad), instead of just painting red underneath the black pad.   |

Of the issues with that Road Dogg, the head is the least of them. |

X-Pac would be a great choice for a chase version. I’d imagine that wanted the attire to have been at some point in DX. Billy had already abandoned the longbois before the NAO officially joined DX, but Road Dogg wore the original attire in a few matches and photoshoots in the spring of 98 after they’d joined. |

The Edge is fantastic. Mean Mark seams off.
The Road Dogg is truly horrible. and I can't believe they're going to let another Chyna pegwarm like that...

Wait, what? That figure looks exactly like him. Gotta agree, not sure what more would be wanted for it to be better. I compared the two pics and I think it has to do with the paint or coloring. The real road Dogg is super pale. Almost non existent eyebrows. Lighter eyes. I think the dark eyebrows and facial hair and tan give it features and a look I do not associate with road d-o double g. Everything else about it works for me. The face does not look right to me.   |

I dont know why they just don’t mold on Road Dogg’s shirt. When was Road Dogg ever shirtless in his wrestling career? Yeah, that’s a big letdown for me. I guess they don’t have a suitable torso for it (the Hall of Champions one is way too thin/skintight) but I wish they’d just put an extra piece on for the shirt like they do with Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon. |
