Does anyone know if Mattel is going to correct the paint apps on the elbow? I want to buy this figure, but I’m waiting until this is fixed.

Steve said Mattel is working on making replacement arms and a mask I believe for the UE Kane figure, he’ll let us know when it is available and when to contact Mattel Customer Services for replacement parts.

I’ve just been given the green-light to share the update you’ve been waiting for. The issue with Ultimate Edition Kane’s elbow and mask deco did not go unnoticed but was unfortunately not discovered until product had already shipped. Since learning about it, we’ve been working on a solution that should satisfy everyone. A running change has been implemented to ensure the remaining quota is produced with a molded red arm and full black stripes on both heads. To those who already purchased, you’ll soon be able to contact Mattel customer service to request a set of replacement heads along with the corrected arm (all three will be bagged together). Please hold off on reaching out to customer service for the time being as the parts are still in production. I’ll let you know once they arrive. Apologies for the delay in info on this as we needed to ensure a proper plan was in place with approval and support from all parties involved. With these fixes implemented, hopefully everyone enjoys this great Ultimate Edition Kane figure. ^The most concrete info from Mattel. As far as I know, no one has reported finding or receiving the corrected Kane yet. As of Steve's most recent post on the subject on 12/1, the replacement parts for those who already purchased Kane are not ready yet either. |

What was wrong with the heads to warrant them producing replacements?

Is it safe to assume the inventory at rsc is the versions that need to be corrected? I was going to order kane at the black Friday 4.0 sale but I would prefer the corrected version.

Fun fact (for those that don’t know):
The skin tone elbow even shows on the back of the packaging in the picture they did with his pose 😂

Who knows when the replacement parts will be available. I’ve been holding off because of the arm, but might have to jump on that. |

Might be best to go ahead and snag it and wait for the replacement parts. |

So how the hell is anyone supposed to be expected to replace the arms on these? Does Mattel customer service expect people to be deep into custom figure building in order to correct their endless f ck ups? |

Do you have to heat in boiling water like customizing heads or do they literally pop right out? |

RSC ECW Cactus head can be taken off easily |
