Can't tell in the pics for Bulldog, but are the tights fully painted. At Summer Slam 1992, he had some cutouts on the legs of his tights which showed skin.  He does have it. You can see it just slightly under the flag.  |

Interesting comments here! I’ll always be ‘that guy’ i’m afraid. Nice to know that many on here respect that and for the few that don’t, that’s cool too. It’s a forum after all. Great to see that Action Figure Attack has mentioned a change to Bulldogs wrist bands and Brets knee pads! The rest are small knit picks that I can deal with! The painted tors’s seem to be here to stay which is a big shame but hopefully they might try out a plastic singlet for Bret one day like on the recent Undertaker so there is still hope!! |

You obviously read and don’t understand what I was saying. So let me dumb it down for you. The figures Mattel puts out, you can’t tell me there’s people on this forum who knows exactly from a boot string color to knee pad color these wrestlers had that the figure is based upon without having to google the images and comparing it to a figure. Now, moving to what you thought I said, yes, Mattel should definitely learn how to use google images to fix the problem with getting accuracy . I am a die-hard Bret Hart fan who knows every detail about every attire he's worn in his WWF and WCW runs. For example, most people think that the KOTR 1994 and SummerSlam 1994 attires are the same but they aren't. There is even another combination that's very similar. I don't have to look up pictures to know that the only time Bret wore black knee pads to pink tights since starting his singles run in 1991 was in 1997 in a match against Vader when his bags were lost. (Not counting his Survivor Series 1993 attire since it was a singlet.) I'm sure Davey doesn't have to look up pics either. I'm happy he is pointing out things that could be improved before these figures are released. I remember that we both pointed out the wrong wrist tape color on the Suvivor Series 1996 figure and it helped get it corrected. |

The torso change doesn't work for Bulldog, either.

Bret’s hairline looks awful on this fig and Davey shouldn’t have a super ripped torso either. The Austin torso worked best for him.

Remember when Mattel randomly got Bret's hair colour right for one figure (RSC RR93 exclusive) before going back to jet black (which is and always has been totally wrong).  |

Paying £20 to see Harry cosplaying as his dad? No thanks. It was exactly how I expected it to be.

I wish Davey Boy had a new headsculpt & a new broad, non ripped torso, then I would've considered getting it if I saw it.

You can count me in the "that guy" group who wants match-specific attires to be as accurate as possible. It just doesn't make sense to choose the wrong parts when correct parts are available. And as far as not noticing the details of attires, this is a match most of us have probably watched dozens of times, even more if you're a diehard fan of either wrestler (as I am with Bret). On a side note, remember when Bret & Bulldog wrestled on an In Your House and Jerry Lawler mentioned Bulldog was wearing the same SummerSlam '92 tights? Even in my pre-internet days I knew that wasn't right. All that being said I'm still on the record stating I'll buy every Bret Hart figure they release no matter how wonky they look.  |

Must have Davey Boy, but ffs, what is up with Bret's head scans? Why cant they get this right, or even in a ballpark?

The knee pads, ok fair enough but the belt? Honestly if you put that on display I don’t think anyone would pick up on it.

Yep, complaining got them to make a fix for UE Kane, that you know they would have never done otherwise. The torso change on the HOC Ron Simmons is the big one that I think of. I agree to a point but it also needs to be proportionate The same people literally spamming the ask Steve thread and other threads about kane was a bit ott. |

Your correct it is wrong - but in Mattel’s defence when he comes out with it wet or has it wet in promos it’s much darker and in many looks black - google image search bret hart entrance and some look jet black For the ultimate I would’ve ideally liked black hair for if your displaying with jacket or lighter for ‘during match’ look |

Good lord. The figures are both perfect. Stop crying. Imagine coming to an action figure forum and getting upset when someone wants more accurate figures. Moreover, imagine looking at the Bret scan and calling it "perfect." Good lord, indeed. |

The saving grace to all of this is that AFA said these were early samples from the factory so hopefully they still have time to correct things.
