Referring to this one, kinda looks like the UE Kane head, no?  |

I just hope the legs aren’t super stiff. Every Elite Kane/Undertaker with those legs has always been really stiff for me.

Why is one eye flesh tone? Is that accurate for the time?

Jakks nailed the mesh look over 20 years ago and for half the price

The head looks almost the same as the ultimate, except you can see some of his forehead. Also don't remember if/when he stopped having black around his eyes

I hate the fact that the waist belt is cheaply painted on. Mattel just needs to give us a 2001 Kane with all the perks.
Three headscans with different masks and hairpieces
Molded mesh, flames
Glossed boots and thicker body mold

I hate the skinny torso Mattel uses on singlet top Kane elites Ultimate would better capture how massive and imposing Kane was |

Wish the red was bit more saturated but mesh chest Kane is something I've wanted in elite form

Other than articulation, the Jakks R3 Kane is still the best Hardcore era Kane ever made IMO. And one of the best wrestling figures ever made period for that matter. Especially the head, it just looks exactly like Glenn Jacobs wearing the real Kane mask, which is because it was produced from an actual 3D scan, instead of just sculpted from pictures (which just never looks as good!).
If Mattel wants to better it, they need a new 100% ACCURATE SHAPE mask headscan with plenty of fine detailing, multiple hair pieces would make sense, and new LARGE body sculpt with SCULPTED attire details. And personally I'd also throw in a separate mask accessory for him to hold, and an alternate unmasked head FROM THAT ERA i.e. with full hair, goatee and eye makeup, so you can recreate the few occassions when his mask was removed. But those 2 accessories would just be the icing on the cake.
I'll give Mattel their credit, their recent masked Kanes have definitely shown improvement, and I know Steve, Bill and the rest work hard... but honestly, other than articulation, I still think the Jakks R3 Kane is better. So I'd love to see Mattel take another crack at Hardcore Era Kane, probably as an ultimate would make the most sense.

I just realized they didn't use the sculpted flame torso that they made for the ultimate. Makes me think we'll see this figure again as an Ultimate.

Kane never wore the mask without pain on his eyes. It's looks off.
