We’ve had color issues for years, this isn’t new but recently the Golds used on figures have been on the puke green side of gold. Previously we’ve had issues with pinks and purples. ‘Salmon gate’ on that WCW Bret to name a few. I really hope Mattel can sort this one though because they’ve ruined two great figures - Made to Order Cody and one of my all time favourite looks - WMX Razor Ramon. His vest is terrible and they’ve even replicated the greeny gold on the side of the packaging. I mean they have the right gold on his chains. Why not use the same color? ?

I really don't know how these things keep happening... I mean, how on earth is Razor's waistcoat green on the packaging as well? What's going on? 🤷♂️

You need a good light to see the gold Chikko.

That Cody is, was, and always will be a slap in the face.
Mattel doesn't have to outright admit they're wrong. But it would say a lot if they'd just fix the mistakes.
People shouldn't have to buy two figures just to fix up one.
No excuse other than Bill has a persecution fetish at this point.

I’m still unsure if this is a lighting issue, but that green on the packaging doesn’t bode well…
Lemme help Mattel design out for free: off the top of my head, 871c would have been a better option. I’m available for further help pending payment of a consultation fee.

Bill needs to retire, like edge I don’t think Bill is the only designer at Mattel so it’s unfair to assume it’s his fault although you’d think that someone high up would have signed this and Cody off?

In their defense, they put out SO many figures a year. But it does seem for a set like this that commemorates an event, there should be better procedures in place to make sure the photos match.
Alternatively - maybe they thought this was the best photo for the box and there wasn't a promo shot of WMX that fit with his gear, so they used this. Who knows.

Can we wait to see the razor in hand first before we start complaining? It's just proto pics for now

On the box that’s greenish for sure, but that vest looks 100% gold to me. Idk.

Vest is definitely gold but the box is green.
