Mattel has done about 50 Brocks in this attire and all of the have the correct logo, regardless of the figure being elite, basic or ultimate. How does the new one get it wrong?  I mean, you could swap the legs, but it would still be incorrect on the back of the trunks. What a bizarre oversight, especially on a $45 ultimate.  |

It's circled in the second pic. The new ultimate is missing the nose detail on the skull logo. |

Because it’s Mattel.

I've been pointing this out for a bit. Mattel made the same error on their Brock Ringside Exclusive all those years back. The missing logos on the UE made me get Elite 96 Brock.  |

That’s a really weird oversight or error. You’d think they would have just used the exact same deco from the previous figure and only changed the upper body

I ordered one on Amazon and then freaking cancelled the order. I’d never be able to stop thinking about it and it’d get to me.

It's the same with the new intercontinental belt that came with Shamrock not having the "World Wrestling Entertainment" name on the belt. 😔

People aren’t perfect so there will always be human errors.

It's a mass market retail product. This isn't NECA.

People aren’t perfect so there will always be human errors. True, but Mattel has gotten it right before. The correct logo should be saved on a Mattel drive somewhere that’s easy to pull/use during pre-planning. Having worked with graphic-design teams this should be an easy “win” yet someone would have needed to have grabbed the compete wrong logo (after having the correct one before) or edited it for no reason. |

True, but things happen. And clearly Brock and or the WWE failed to notice it either on their final approval. |

Especially with price hikes in the last 6 months? I got my kids a dominos pizza last night. Wasn’t exactly satisfactory and we called them out on it. Dominos was cool and sent a new pizza. No different than calling Mattel out for misses (though Mattel won’t be sending us corrected figures). |

No argument the question was “how does this happen?” So I was just stating the fact that things like this will always happen. I can see if the eye was painted on the forehead, but it’s just a small patch of black paint for the nose on the logo which many wouldn’t even have noticed if it wasn’t mentioned here. I’m not saying don’t question it or not be upset about it I was just answering the OP question. But hey at least they got it right on the Championships packed with him.  |

while i agree these things shouldn't be overlooked on their premium figures, thankfully its the smallest detail that's missing and it's barely noticeable.
