Good question, but the focus is on how it's packaged, and it's entrance-focused. OK. No one is asking that it be strapped to waste while ziplining but no reason why it can’t be included in the package. He comes with extra parts to display in multiple ways including post match. This figure caters to both MIBbers and loosers. As a MIBber, the title distracts and detracts. It's an homage to HBK's iconic entrance. If you're a looser, chances are you have at least one winged eagle laying around. |

what's your youtube channel name, so we can compare your quality to his. After you. Ya know, you could stay offline for the week or maybe just stay off of Kyle’s channel if you don’t want action figure news, or speculation. Just weird that you keep bringing up the guy who is basically doing a service to this community by posting hundreds of videos a year. If you were one of the collectors Mattel cared about and sent samples to, you wouldn’t be leaking info online either. We should talk about the figure and not other collectors in my mind. I am a lose collector, and while i might pull the trigger, i just really don’t think this one is for me. Very cool gear, zip line is fun, i just don’t want to start posing guys in those floating stands. |

Oh man that’s nice. I buy all the SDCC exclusives regardless because I like to have them in a separate section out of box with the boxes in the back. Might have to get two of these.

If you're a looser, chances are you have at least one winged eagle laying around. Again, one shouldn’t have to take a belt off another figure or find one on the secondary market. And including it hidden away with the other accessories does nothing to distract the MOC presentation. This is the ultimate version of the boyhood dream coming true. It’s a $45 figure. Thinking the belt he won shoulda been included isn’t a major ask. |

For $45 the Mattel Creations Cody ultimate should've been the correct color gold and not have a jacket sized for a cartoon character but here we are
Mattel's response to that on the forum was to post a collage of photos of Cody's tights which ironically showed that no matter how the light hit the tights, none of the colors were close to what the final figure was.
I can't just swap out to other gold Cody legs but I can easily put one of the 45 winged eagle titles on Shawn if I want the boy hood dream pose

Granted, I’m still kind of disconnected from figure news and etc. right now because of crazy work/life stuff so I had no idea this was spoiled, but I think think this looks great. Also, I’ll be honest, the winged eagle complaints fall flat for me. This is clearly a figure depicting the entrance, with the extra heads and etc. being ancillary bonus stuff. I greatly prefer the zip line accessory to another title.

The only “spoiling” that’s been done is all these kids attitudes about not being the first to know about a toy. |

Somebody did exactly that, and it wasn’t long at all after the video was posted they came here, literally probably stopped the video at that very point and ran here to be the first to post about it. YouTuber daddy knew exactly how to do it and cover his backside. And here you kids are “ohhh don’t talk about daddy like that, he put it inside of a 40 min random video.” Get outta here |

Love it…but not having a harness is such a downer. I would have likely purchased it to display had that been included. Not that I’m greatly in need of another winged eagle, but that should have been included without question. I’m also going to guess it doesn’t include string nor the capability to zipline. Not a shocker if it doesn’t but man does that feel like a three strikes (no harness, no functionality, no belt).

It’s literally just not his news to share. You can always hit that log out button if you’re tired of all the “spoiling” |

I don't understand everyone complaining about not including a Winged Eagle.....
Am I the only one who has about 30 Winged Eagles in a bin from all the figures that came with one over the last 12 years? I'm a bit surprised by all the criticisms on this - when I scoffed at the Ali exclusive last year I felt like I got bashed! I actually LIKE this one, just not sure I have the funds at the moment - - - and HBK isn't one of my key favorites. But the figure and the packaging look fantastic.  It was a big part of this particular HBK's story that the figure is highlighting. He won the belt in this match. I get that the MIB display doesn't need it because it's highlighting the entrance. But since they have a new to mimic/pose him like he was when he held the belt, you'd think they'd at least include it. Plus, not everyone has 30 extra belts they can take from other figures and use for this one. With that being said, if I get one to open, I might go with one of the custom WWF belts from forbidden figurines, those look a bit better anyway. |

Admittedly it's not the exact perfect figure I've been hyping up in my head for like three years but it is still pretty damn cool. Think I'm gonna have to grab two possibly even three depending on how bad I end up wanting to keep one MOC
