That Undertaker is just perfect Agreed. This is the one I've been wanting since day one. I don't think he's too tan, I think most of Mattel's other figures from the Golden/New Gen eras are too pale. There are so many issues with the Razor in this set, but the 'Taker is great to me. The slight tan doesn't even bother me - I somewhat remember him having a bit more of a tan in '93 than usual...could be confirmation bias, but I do recall it. Funny spot to take note of the small details... |

I want to swap out the arms on Razor with something bigger. Anybody know of bigger arms with the same skin tone?

Got my shipping notice this morning. Had debated canceling since I’ve been scaling back but with everyone saying how great the Taker is, I kept it for now.

Seeing the reviews of them in hand is disappointing, especially for Razor. It seems like all 3 figures were poorly executed for some reason... Taker's odd skin tone, Razor's 3 shades of Green & non TrueFX head, and Kid's non TrueFX head. Razor's Green attire is in my top 3 favourite for him along with the Purple, and Red. So to see how the final product looks is really disappointing, how do you miss the mark that bad? Hopefully it's just an error with an initial run of them, and it gets a running change fix soon, along with Taker's skin tone. Otherwise, hoping we can get a word from Steve about the odd colours and if anything will be done. Regardless, i'll still get the Razor somehow, just because it's Razor, and hopefully after a running change if there will be one. Otherwise i'll just deal with it and maybe put an IC Title around his waist to hide it a bit. If they don't do a running change, what are the chances they make it as one two of the re-releases in the Greatest Hits line? |

One minor minor complaint I have about kid is, we now have both his attires from 1993 (which are similar anyway) and none from 1994-1996, where he had a ton of different and colorful attires. Hopefully they right this wrong the next few years. Most definitely need a red/white or purple/white 123 kid from 95 with his million dollar Corp heal run or blue/white. Personally, I like the red and white best, but a purple/white or blue/white from his heel run would be cool. Especially if they could get a new head sculpt with a disgusted look on his face. |

You know a heel Tatanka and a purple flame bam bam would be nice as well

Judging by photos, people are really overstating the issue with Taker's skin tone. Gotta see it in-person to be sure though.

Saw this tonight and thought it was pretty funny:  Hope this 3-pack concept sticks around for a while, I do miss the elite 2-packs which usually came with some great accessories. |

As good as it would be to do a re-release there, i doubt they'd pipe in a figure that recent into the line unfortunately. |

A question for those with the set
Are the razor designs oddly printed on the majority of Razor's right kneepad? The few in hand pics i've seen, it seems poorly placed on all of them.

I strongly believe collecting is targeted for MOC collectors only, they don't care (or know the difference) - ex. they will never open it so they won't see Taker's skin.
We shall wait for the discount sale for this one or most likely just let it R.....I....P....

With all said and done (other items on order) I paid 48 shipped for mine. Also helps using a red card. |

The set may eventually go on clearance but I’ve seen a handful of stores get shipments in and they’re all gone within a day or two.

Taker was tanner around 1993 compared to other years for some reason.
Razor with the same shoulder balls and same arms as kid is a disgrace.
The raw entrance letters are awesome.
