Summer Slam 1992 Bret and Bulldog

Since Bulldog is in each case so that means RSC will be getting him, too, does anyone expect him to be the chase price of $37.99(I know he’s CE but I’m giving a reference/example)? Or do you think it will be below $30?

Why is it so crazy for someone to expect a figure to look like the wrestler?

Wrong kneepads, details missing on tights, armbands placed wrong, forehead the size of the moon

These seem like some honest criticisms, these are supposed to be premium figures, mattels constantly getting height, body size , colors and more wrong. If you want the figures to look accurate then you basically have to customize half the figures you buy

Exactly how I feel. This is a toy forum. This is the place to discuss what we like and what we dislike about these figures. It’s the same people who get upset at us critics who probably emailed Mattel immediately when they heard that new parts were being mailed for Kane. Their response was “oh well, he’s wears a cape and will be on display, who cares”. At the end of the day we are paying for our hobby. We can’t help, but to question certain choices. It’s odd when someone here could point out what’s wrong with an attire, part choice etc as opposed to someone who is professionally getting paid to make these decisions. No, this isn’t a dig at Bill. Granted, there are things we probably don’t know and we’ve gotten some insight, but sometimes there are just bad decisions like “designer liked that torso” etc. There have been instances where Mattel says that certain talent can approve or reject the look of a figure and that’s understandable…. I do believe now that Mattel does have a spreadsheet or at the very least a formula for parts that make up certain heights. The latest example could be Hogan, both him and Cesaro are around similar heights share the same Sheamus torso, same legs minus the boots. Flashback Triple H, repainted Sheamus not bothering to give him actual tights rather than painted on legs.

It was new to me bud move along

They’re not supposed to be premium figures. They’re upper lower range figures. They’re not even Mattel’s premium figures never mind other brands who provide a more premium / collectable figure

Mattel basics > mattel elites > mattel ultimates

Totally agree

Difference between colour knee pads etc and other things you raised are not big deco hits nor really have any excuse to be wrong

All I really collect is brets so I really want a better scan but as we both agree elites are far from premium figures 🙂👍


Mattel also get a lot of undeserved grief imo - look at the funko best axn figures which is their line of ‘realistic’ action figures and the scans / sculpts are awful and are elite cost equivalent

I bought the first bulldog elite, even though the headscan was way off (looks like Harry as already mentioned). This is just the a easy rehash of the basic of this attire, just more articulation. And not bothering to try to create a better facial likeness is well lazy. Other companies seem to be able to make a better likeness.
