Have we not had that Kane... or one very close? We did. It was also a ringside exclusive and missed the mark imo. It needs to be redone as an Ultimate Edition. We’re talking sculpted details like mesh, the arms from the ultimate, a new tank top, the laceless boots and two new headsculpts. That Kane as a UE would not match well with this Taker as just an Elite, imo |

I think elites and ultimates mesh well. It’s just that they made Kane and Undertaker too thin at times. |

OK so this is the one Taker held:  which is the larger main plate:  The other version from pre 98 has the smaller plates: ![]()  ![]() The figure looks to more like the original version:  This has probably been mentioned before but why doesn't the Undertakers beanie have the Deadman Inc logo? especially since this is a RSC exclusive. I also don't understand why Mattel didn't use gloss black since his pants weren't dull black during that era. could it somehow be rights related? In WWE2k19 - Biker Taker didn't have any logo's on any of his attire, IIRC. |

It'll be interesting to see how the vest holds up over time.

I'm more inclined to say it's Mattel cutting costs because of the singlet technology. |

Without the glasses and the beanie and with the straps down, it looks decent.

I don't think it's anything more than a rubbery material that they've used before glued to the torso lol |

But yes, that looks so cheap and dumb. Easy pass from me. |

This Taker figure is okay, I ordered two just for the belt. |

I think they Elite 68 Taker head would look better. But I never got it, so I'm not sure if I'll track it down and order this or not.
I am curious if the tank is re-moveable at all. might look cool on the Ultimate Jeff.

I find it slightly odd that the rubber shirt isn't down in the package since it's such a selling point of the figure and the visible BSK tattoo differentiates it from (almost) every other Mattel Taker. Not saying that in a conspiratorial way or etc. Just surprised.
