Jus Mandy for me, but I could totally see Boogs being an impulse buy if I found him at retail.

Faarooq should be a lot thicker, especially the legs. Yes, such a shame, he would have been a figure of the year candidate for me if he had thicker legs and a thicker torso. Simmons was at his biggest at this time. |

Why did they give Rick boogs the undertaker removable vest bit wish it was painted So they saving elite 99 for ringside fest Did he ever take the straps down? He does take his straps down, so Iβm sure that is what they are going for, however everyone is right, does make the figure look super bulky. |

Simmons was at his biggest at this time. Agree completely, the alternate heads with the two different colors of head gear were a great touch too and would've made him a FOTY candidate for me too. Definitely needed the thicker legs and torso:  |

That head on Dusty is just absolutely awful. I'm gonna have to find another Elite 83 Survivor Series '90 figure and do a head swap.

Man just noticed that farooq has tight molded skin coloured lower legs π Sets like these just make me wonder, who is the audience for Mattel's product? Kids don't want this figure. Its a character that had a TV run that lasted a few months from 25+ years ago. The only people who would want to own it are adults who care about the details. And if Farooq has flesh colored tights mold, then we aren't going to want it! Same can be said for the rubber Boogs top. This rubber top loses its flexibility and dries up. I already see people who have that RSE SummerSlam 2001 Undertaker and the Taker top has totally crumbled. When did that figure come out? Earlier this year? Kids don't care if they can take down the straps. So, that's a feature for adult collectors, right? Well, it looks goofy and its going to fall apart. Its a feature no body wants and no body asked for. And the list goes on and on. |

Regardless of the execution and the gimmick, Ron Simmons  ing rocks and should have as many figures as possible. |

Donβt buy modern figures but tempted to get the Boogs because Iβm a big fan of his YT channel and the figure is just fantastic.

I'm not asking them to be super accurate I just want them to atleast give proper parts to the action figure. |

I also noticed that Farooq is the same height as Stevie Ray and uses all the same parts too (minus the upgraded arms). I'm not that hung up on scaling, but you can't tell me a 6'2 Farooq is taller than a 6'5 Edge. Painted on legs are annoying too, Mattel has the tights mold for example for Triple H, but uses the ripped legs mold. |

Removeable ponytail is sweet! Makes the Normal Gear more accurate with short hair. That with the shoe swap from the chase will look great.
