 Bring back the Fan Central line but change the name to Tan Central. Forget about voting on ring attires - we’re deciding the level of tan we want to see on our Hogans, Savages, and Warriors. The packaging will be redesigned to look like the figures are emerging from a bright neon tanning bed. Instead of chase figures, each figure comes with a chaise chair for lounging and catching some rays. unrelated, but i still say that big show torso should've been used for braun once he started slimming down. and hogan figures should always look like a hot dog |

I know this won't be a popular opinion, but I can take or leave the tan. I like what they're trying to do, but in person I think it looks too orange and... kind of weird.
If they could alter the tan to make it less orange, it would probably help... but then we've already had so many Hulks without the tan, I'd prefer future ones to fit in with them.
(...I'll get me coat...)

Elite 96 Hogan might be the closest we’ve come to the definitive, perfect looking early 1990-1991 Hogan. It’s flawless and the tan is so important to that figure. Wouldn’t be the same if it was pale. That reminds me though, how have we had three Heenan figures and not one in his most famous loom of the red or black sequin jacket during his prime managing years? Choosing Weasel suit before those iconic looks is just bizarre. l This was the best Heenan, and it was VERY hard to find..... probably because this line was exclusive to Walmart. Yeah Mattel went with Weasel Suit Heenan in the Legends line and it rotted on shelves - - - which is a shame, and now they're probably afraid to give us more Heenans for a while. I'd really love a few of his more iconic looks! |

I like the nice brown tan on Hogan. On the contrary it's interesting to see Mattel make Roman Reigns, Dominique Mysterio, Boogeyman, Eddie Guerrero all darker than their actual complexion.

Still surprising there’s never been a Monsoon-Heenan two pack. |

I don't think he had an LJN..... |

That fan BH is lacking the shine on his jacket. It wasn’t even a jacket, it was a collared long sleeve sweater/shirt. When I think of 80’s BH, I think of the black outfit where his shirt was kinda short and when he got beat up, the love handles would always come out.
I agree a coliseum BH would be nice with a blue shirt which I’ve never seen him in.

I agree that new skintone can be jarring in person. It's an improvement over the old one, but a little less orange and a little more red/brown would be ideal. |

I agree Savage should have a tan... Although, his figure that was in that exclusive two pack with Hogan looked awful, IMO. I think I'm more concerned with Savage being thin as hell. His formula needs to be overhauled cause that torso has never worked on him for me. Shame we have so many out dated Hogans now since the tan. Now, we wait for nWo and Mr. America remakes. Hoping he keeps the peace and doesn't end up black listed again...

I thought the hot dog tan was hideous until I had it in hand. Now all Hogans without it look terrible to me. Weird how your perception can adjust like that. That first DM Hogan is one of my favorite figures in terms of its construction. I personally like the pre-swappable hands figures the most (dunno why). But that early Hogan looks so pasty now when it never bothered me before.

I went there after the news they were filing for bankruptcy and low and behold, they had Triple H, Mark Henry, and Bobby Heenan. Sadly, no sign of Big Show. |
