I mean, roll your eyes all you want but Owens is more over than Perfect was, sells more merch than he did, accomplished more that he did, and has a better career than he ever did. It’s like saying Tito Santana is a bigger star than Seth Rollins. It’s silly. Dont take it so seriously man , lol. most of what you said is kimd of subjective and jobbers prob sell more merch now than most older wrestlers because theres just a ton more merch now than there was back then |

It’s like saying Tito Santana is a bigger star than Seth Rollins. It’s silly. You realize if they had Universal and World and 2 sets of tag belts, a minor league belt like NXT, back then Perfect would have been some sort of champion 10x over Henning, Rude, Jake, Piper, etc didn’t need titles to get over and be superstars. Mr. Perfect is/was a bigger star than Kevin Owens will ever be And I like KO, but I don’t see it at all |

Mr. Perfect is an absolute icon of the business, and he deserves a figure in every line Mattel makes. Unfortunately, they've butchered a ton of his figures. Too tall, too thin, too pasty, an absolutely ridiculous embarrassment of a rubber top.
Should Perfect get an UE? Absolutely. Will it turn out to be a Picasso of poor part choices? Probably.

Facts make people mad I guess. Point still stands. Owens isn’t wrestlecrap. Guess he since he didn’t wrestle in the late 80s or early 90s he doesn’t count as a big star. Oof.

Feel like im satisfied with the Legends 20 Mr Perfect. Of course it can be improved on with a better tan.
He has a West Texas Rednecks figure being released in the MNW line which is a bonus. Wanted a version of him in blue but it's being released as a basic which im fine with.

Owens is my favorite active wrestler, and he's been a staple of WWE for almost a decade. But if his career ended tomorrow, the impact on the overall product would be almost zero. There are a dozen wrestlers in his same upper midcard role right now, and plenty of talented wrestlers who could move up to fill the slot. That's no reflection on his talent - but WWE has worked very hard for the past 20 years to make the brand the star, not individual wrestlers. You're entitled to your opinion. Owens is very much a cog in the machine, even if he's a very talented cog. |

Give me a molded singlet, a thicker torso mold, tanner skin tone, multiple heads, and throw in a chase and I'll be good.

I feel like the colors of his singlets have been off as well. Mattel needs to work on their neon colors.

It’s absolutely needed but I fear they might try and do a soft goods singlet like they did with Angle, which would not be good.
Hopefully they go with a molded singlet and get the bigger body, tan and hair/face options we all know are needed.
Would be a PERFECT candidate for a chase, a Summerslam Blue upgrade on the original legends is needed (the new main event is 2002 I believe) and then I’d actually be down for another yellow if they could nail the colour but plenty of options for a chase singlet. I’d be getting both for sure.

I'd prefer his IC title reign/executive consultant era. Give him a molded singlet in one of the neon colors he wore during his IC title reign (yellow/black, yellow/blue, orange/black, blue/black, blue/yellow, etc.). Put in 2 or 3 heads (serious facial expression, cocky expression, long hair, disheveled hair, ponytail), the IC title, towel, and a track suit he wore as Ric Flair's executive consultant. And I agree with others, he needs bigger parts and a tan.       If they don't want to do his track suit, they could include soft goods of his referee attire from WM10.  |
