Mr Perfect Legends Series 20

To be fair, when Mattel first showed of the rubber top, a lot of us just assumed it would hold up to use and we didn’t foresee it’s short comings. I know I was one who said “this would be great for Angle” and there were others who asked for it on Perfect and Lawler.

And then Taker came out and we saw all of the flaws. I want to give Mattel the benefit of the doubt and see if they can tweak it so it works much better; but we won’t know until it’s in hand.

Could Mattel have tried this again with someone else? Sure. But this is the fourth Perfect they’ve put out in ring gear and I can understand the thought process of trying something different.

As for the cloth singlet on Kurt Angle: I’m willing to wait and see which attire it turns out to be and how clean the lines are on it. Worst case scenario, it’s a blurry mess that we have to just pose with the straps down and then we wait another year or so for the eventual bald Kurt in a molded singlet.

I still don't know why people kept asking for a cloth singlet or removable top. Now, we got this terrible Mr.Perfect. Not only does he look proportionally odd, but it's got that stupid rubber gunk. This should of been a brand new mold from head to toe. Perfect was a thick dude. I'm hoping this could be corrected with a UE '97 Starrcade Perfect. I have a feeling that we're stuck with this mold for the next couple of Perfects.

Yup. However, there were a lot of people asking for cloth singlets and removable tops. I want sculpted singlets and trunks. The Angle I want is based off of the r3

Mr. Perfect was also very tan. He will still look pale next to Hogan's hot dog tan.

I don’t understand the need for pull down gear.
I’d prefer they just release a separate release with sculpted pulled down straps.

I don't think the majority of people want these figures with pull down straps. Like someone else stated, at this scale a lot of the skin tight gear looks bad and over time starts to wear down. I prefer sculpted gear.

What Toybiz Kurt Angle? The only one that got released was TNA Toybiz series 8 and it was molded like a normal figure.

You’re speaking for yourself. I never wanted that stuff as a kid. I hated it because it looked bad. I could use my imagination to imagine things. I always hated action features and gimmicks as a kid. Cloth jackets is fine. But actual clothing? It looks terrible, never fits like real clothing due to the small scale, and nobody else in the line ever has fabric attire so it sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe it’s an OCD thing that triggers only me and I’m in the minority, but I would much rather not have full fabric attires. Even Rock’s fabric track suit, I would much rather have that attire sculpted in plastic.

I actually would not mind fabric singlets on certain wrestlers if they were pumping out alternatives as often as Hogan, Reigns, or Cena. But they aren’t. So it annoys me that a slot is being used on a gimmick. Mr Perfect has 3 elites in all 13 years of Mattel WWE. Only one of them is a singlet in his iconic design and that was in a 4-pack released almost a decade ago. Kurt Angle only had 2 elites made with hair and only one of them was in wrestling gear. That’s my major gripe. They’re going to release Perfect and Angle in two attires I want, but with crappy tops. That sucks.

It looks like a fruit rollup stuck to a figure.
