With Macho and Warrior finally getting their hot dog tans represented in figure form, is it time for others? British Bulldog and Mr Perfect spring to mind. They had the same look as Warrior. At times, Bulldog was even darker. Who else can you think of?    |

Definitely.. but it’s Mattel so I don’t know if it’ll happen.

Yeah it’s like we got a tease with a few Hogans and the one Macho but that tan color would make so many other figs such more more accurate. Perfect is in the biggest need IMO as pale figs of him just automatically make it a few degrees less accurate

Until Bill is gone from Mattel you’ll never get things done the right way. He’s the example to why you should never hire a casual to do these types of jobs. I mean it’s bad and a bad look on mattel, but I’ve seen ppl here have better ideas than Mattel has ever came up with. I know Steve always tries and say this wouldn’t work because of this and that, but it’s all bs and nothing more than just him trying to make their ideas seem reasonable.

Mr.Perfect is one who comes to mind. I always thought Bill Goldberg was too light in complexion. I personally want Mattel to correct Eddie Guerrero's and Roman Reigns's skintone. Their figures have a much darker complexion than they should have. Farooq and Reigns for whatever reason almost have the same complexion in figure form. Boogeyman also has the wrong skintone. I do remember Steve saying WWE requested that specific skintone for Reigns, so who knows?

Mr. Perfect definitely could use a hotdog. His figures feel very imperfect, and a new thicker singlet mold with a tan could do him wonders. I like the recent heads they've done for him, so those are fine as is.

Red dye is expensive guis, why u think we paint singlet torsos instead of casting in skin tone cause it's expensive guis.
That Hogan 3 pack had to get approval first until Steve said they are getting updated.
Come on guis?!?

Absolutely no reason to butcher them. They got the lightning bolts right with the first UE (it's almost absolutely perfect), why on earth are these baby blue??? It was my most requested Hogan figure and I'm on the fence on shelling out $65 plus tax on this set. Mind you, I collect very few figures nowadays. I'm a bit gutted. |

Yeah looking at comparison pictures the designs themselves don't look right. I would of shut up and just been happy had the outlines of the thunder bolts been the same navyish blue as the UE. They just look way off. One quick Google search and you could tell how off they are. Bandana is missing detail too, but I can overlook that. Sometimes, I question what references are used. I'm sorry to go on and on, but still my most wanted Hogan ever and I'm not even a Hogan mark.    |

Legends 20 Mr. Perfect could have been his best figure ever if they would have gone with a molded singlet torso and the Hogan skin tone. It’s so disappointing that he probably won’t be revisited for a while, much less in that yellow singlet that would look best with the tan.

Feel like every wrestler had this tan at one point in their career. It really brings the figure to life

Brutus the Barber Beefcake comes to mind. Ravishing Rick Rude, too. Lex Luger as well. If they ever do another Hacksaw Jim Duggan, they could add a tan to his as well, he had a Hogan-like tan at Summer Slam 1990:  |

Gonna need a tan Hitman as well. Yes! I was thinking the same thing. 92 Bret was the first one that came to mind when I saw the title |

I just wish they included title belts for all three figures in that HULKAMANIA set. That’s extremely annoying that only one figure has a championship belt. |

The very few that they have made with the darker skin tone look great, but amongst a sizable collection all it does is make the rest of the pale roster stick out like a sore thumb.
It looks fantastic for sure, but opens up a whole can of worms for collectors who now feel obligated to rebuy figures solely because they have a deeper tan.
Maybe a new Walmart exclusive "Bronze Brawlers" series?
