Has there been any pics of RSE Hogan without the NWO shirt? I'm hoping they don't pull another Elite 91 Hogan where the waist is too small for the crotch.

That is what Steve said in the ask AFA thread. He said it was the same as E91

It looks fine with the shirt on and I'd never display it any other way anyway so it's no big deal to me.

That's disappointing. Letting this slide is just going to continue just like Cesaros upcoming elite. Prices are going up, quality is going down. This isn't looking good.

I’m glad that this isn’t a figure I want. However, it’s inexcusable that this figure is sporting the Sheamus torso and doesn’t have the right torso. You’re paying a premium price for this exclusive and we’ve stated our concerns about this torso since Hogan got canceled way back. Also, not a fan of people just saying because they keep their figures moc they could care less. These are the same people who said the same thing about Kane’s elbow and mask.

The Sheamus torso again?! Yeah, I was on the fence before, but this is the tipping point that is going to get me not to buy this. This won't do a thing to Mattel, but I'm definitely voting with my wallet on this one. The Sheamus torso should have never been used for Hogan.

Incredible that they ruined 3 figures with these sh*tty parts choices. 😑

for me its never gonna leave the box so i dont care. but it is really odd the body choice they use for Hogan when they literally have a body made for Hogan figures (survivor series elite) Yes, because NWO Hogan was Jacked like his 80s run. |

Nobody, literally NOBODY can defend the usage of that torso for ANY version of Hulk Hogan. They're literally saying Hulk Hogan is/was the same size as 50 something year old Bret Hart...Or Flair at any point in his career...Or Damien Sandow
You literally CANNOT defend that decision if you have any sort of eye sight and common sense.

You really have to wonder what the design team was thinking. Very strange.

I believe Steve even clarified at one point that the torso was Bills choice and he had recommended a different torso. Just crazy to me. Seems as if a no brainer to give hogan a super heavyweight torso.

Luckily torsos seem to be easier to swap lately. If you have an extra UE or SS Hogan, heat up some water for 3 minutes in the microwave and then dunk the figure in it for another 3 minutes. The seams should start to come apart with a screwdriver and you can swap the torsos.
I did this with my E91 Hogan and an extra UE Hollywood Hogan and it was the easiest swap I’ve ever done. Didn’t need any glue and barely needed to use the screwdriver to separate the seams.

I'm more concerned about the knee pads than the torso.
