NEW MC ULTIMATE CODY PICS

Yeah that color difference is insane. Luckily it’ll be displayed MOC so I won’t see it much. Still, has to discourage people from spending premium prices on MC in the future.

why is that

They’ve already shown the Logan Paul prototype and it looks really good tho

He doesn’t deserve a figure that looks that good

Well, then you would be wrong. Because I know just because it’s sold at a premium price it still going to be a standard mass retail figure. They’ve (Mattel) said this since 2003 (when they got the DC license) these special run figures cost more to produce because it’s a limited production run. There’s no extra budget for them. It’s just a higher production cost. It’s not supposed to be a “premium” figure. And people need to realize that.

And the final product never come out looking like the renders. The renders always have better looking torsos, arms and legs. But we know what parts Mattel have in their parts library. So yeah I can pretty much imagine what parts they’re going to use.

With the torso they used it for Amazon HBK and Cody should scale at least that size. Especially when he came back to the WWE at WM two years ago. He was much thicker than he is now. And when this figure was solicited I don’t think the shoulders had the butterfly joints yet so HBK’s original torso doesn’t work because it doesn’t have the butterfly joints. So yes that it the torso I expected this figure to receive because he’s not smaller than HBK and I think he’s thicker than AJ so the AJ torso would be too small.

As for the knee logos. They look to be just as big as his Elite’s which are the same size as his Jazwares figures. The Mattel Elite and Jazwares Supreme and core lines all have basically the same sized knees. And they all print the logo on the knee piece.

The entrance jacket looks fine. And we knew early on it was going to be soft goods because that’s what they said it was going to be. And like I said above it’s no better or worse than Jazwares. Would I have rather it been like the UE Bret? Yes, but many wanted soft goods. And it’s what I pictured it looking like.

The only things I am upset (disappointed) with are that they didn’t use the tights mold with wrinkles for the legs, but I knew from the rendor that it was going be the bare legs molded in the tights color. And the weight belt was still lacking. Again we knew from the render though. My biggest issue is the drop down hips. I hate them and don’t want them on my figures.


The tights color now that you mention Goldust (I forgot about him) I can’t explain why they didn’t use the same gold they used in the past. Maybe it’s not available to them anymore?

And the neck tattoo wasn’t a surprise because that’s what they did with his Elite. And I addressed that more below.


So yes this is pretty much what I expected the final product to be.




While I wasn’t a fan of the placement when they showed it on his Elite proto it is in the correct spot. As for the pic you posted it’s below the jawline because he’s looking up. Look at pics of him looking forward and you see it’s partially on his jaw like the figure. So it is in the correct spot. If they just put it on the neck the head would cover the top portion of the tattoo and you would have to shave away the figure’s jawline and cut away the triangle portion of the head from under the ears to where his hairline is and the back portion of the jawline. And that might distort the likeness because the jawline was changed.

Can't believe all these Influencers are getting them first and free while most of us had to pay for ours and still won't get it til July 🤦

And do you think the mass produced (ok, not that massed) version will look just like that? Or, like Cody's jacket on the grey model, will people get something different in the end?

Even with the cloth jacket and wrong color on the tights I think this figure and the other elites are way better than the aew ones. There’s something about aews skintones, headscans, and idk if its the plastic or type of coloring paint just make it look wonky and cheap.

I think it says a lot about mattel that everyone has been bringing up the tights issue when it was revealed. You’d think we could get some type of response on hey we messed up or hey we’re going to push back ppls orders to correct or issue instead of just rolling it out. Intentionally ignoring the subject on the q&a or instagram comments

Always feels like such a minor complaint. We are still getting ours. They put in the time and effort that often leads to more sales for Mattel. Plus it helps us get to see in person images before we get them.
