Yep, the first few were his barbed wire tights which he was wearing when mattel had the contract but then he changed to the tights with the red diagonal lines and shiny black parts at WM in April of that year. So mattel started doing that attire from that point onwards except for the WMH figure which was released later on showing his WM20 attire. Thanks, we'll both be even better after 2k15 eventually comes out haha! You getting it on Xbox One or PS4? PS4 here, you? At least 2k made current Kane's attire. Hint hint mattel haha. |

I wish we got WWE era Finlay. Especially 2006-2008 Finlay with his awesome theme. He would of fit in with the roster better Same with Regal, I'd like his trunks with the gold spiral looking designs on them, or even the singlet version (not the odd laddies swimwear looking one though). This. I have zero use for WCW finlay, a WWE version would at least get some kind of novelty play from it. Heck, if you had universe, he could totally be built in a storyline to become an active part of the Authority like has been to very small extent on TV at times. |

Haha that and the goldust wig, your personal favourites! Not only the 36th, but also the 37th, 38th, 39th, 40th and so on.  Even when mattel made that barbed wire attire, they have never done a straight rerelease of it. It had different eye details or a different barbed wire design, etc. Credit to them for trying to avoid a direct repaint wherever possible even if it is a small variation. Yep great just extremely busy! Glad to hear you are well  Hadn't he also changed his tight design shortly after the first few rereleases? Good to hear!

Yep and as an exclusive! It was even in a pack with someone he feuded with, ridiculous! Apart from the CSDA's, his Jakks classic figs were awful. That RA Kane had to be the most rereleased figure of all time, and not only by a small margin but a HUGE one. I dont think anything comes close to over 40 times released. Oh, and the weird pink arms dont count as a legit variation. PS, yay anvil! Hope you are well mate I legitimately love the CSDA Kane that they made in the BOD pack. Partly because the wig was hilarious to put on my TTL Jim Ross figure, but also because it was a sweet figure. They made some awful RA style Kanes though. I have no idea how for example, the 35th rereleased Kane sold well enough for them to justify the 36th rerelease lol. Yeah I'm good. How've you been?

Sorry, yes the point I was trying to make is the core difference is the scan. The cena one has the old flame and stitches but the others are all identical with the angry scan but the BP (with bryan) had that blanker expression scan. From what I can recall, the only variation they made on the masked scans was the colour of the paint around his eyes which switched from black/purple to red. Yeah, as I said though, its a really cool concept if done right. But they dont accentuate his character in either of the roles so it becomes bland. He needs to be fully fledged in each role. I counted once and Im sure it was in excess of 40. The exact same scan, torso, the whole lot. Only one figure had his designs painted below the knees which was the first bad blood one. All the rest were the same inaccurate crap (except that last one where they said 'screw it, lets dump his tights design all together and released it all black') released 40+ times over a 6 or 7 year period. It unbelievably even made its way into the CS line. Absolutely ridiculous. Also, yay Kaneisdaman. Long time no speak. Yep and as an exclusive!

The BP has the first new masked kane scan and the old stitching design with the orange and red flame. Others all have the angry masked scan, different stitching design and the all red flame. I think you're confusing the figure from the series 21 Bryan two-pack with the figure from the series 19 Cena two-pack. The one with Bryan is identical to the others mentioned in the OP apart from the headsculpt. But it has the all-red flame and the newer stitching design. Sorry, yes the point I was trying to make is the core difference is the scan.

From what I can recall, the only variation they made on the masked scans was the colour of the paint around his eyes which switched from black/purple to red. I dont mind him being corporate, but they havent been using him well in the role, thats the difference. The whole alter ego thing is a really cool concept (see Batman) but the WWE has only half done it. Mattel has nailed corporate Kane's look. It's the latest masked version we need. Anytime soon or reason why we havent got it yet? MattelDesignTeam ya i just dont like the athority tho but i do think corporate Kane is sort of diminishing to the demon cause when he goes back to it you know hes sane but before it was like woah this guys crazy Yeah, as I said though, its a really cool concept if done right. But they dont accentuate his character in either of the roles so it becomes bland. He needs to be fully fledged in each role. Kane must be the most rereleased wrestler ever. Jakks released one of his RA figures at least 30 or 40 times. I counted once and Im sure it was in excess of 40. The exact same scan, torso, the whole lot. Only one figure had his designs painted below the knees which was the first bad blood one. All the rest were the same inaccurate crap (except that last one where they said 'screw it, lets dump his tights design all together and released it all black') released 40+ times over a 6 or 7 year period. |

Thats an easy one. E19 is his resurrected return-WM28 attire. It's more accurate than the basic as it has the moulded tubing detail beyond just the torso as it includes the lower half. This is the design with the smaller stitching design and the red/yellow flame. E22 accurately has none of the tubing detail or moulds. It has its own sleeveless top though with bigger stitching designs and the only red flame. Also includes the gloss boots and elbow pads E19 didnt but should have had. Both attires were worn with the welder mask but he dropped it soon after changing to the E22 attire. Again, different headscans though the general details on the mask is the same, they didnt add the stitching to show it was a wig sewn on. No idea why they didnt do the singlet attire. E31 was the time as have been the countless basics since WM29 but it is like they are refusing or dodging it even if they used the taker torso. They really should have made one for Kane for both the RSC exclusives and reused it here. He has had this masked version since WM29, its baffling why they havent done it or even mentioned why they havent. Its practically the only 'main' kane attire they havent done. Yeah essentially. The BP with Cena is just like all his other basic versions of that attire (except a few that had the E22 scan) although the first run of B23 had that bright red mask. impressive you've gotta really like Kane but i don't blame you i was a pretty big fan until he went corporate I dont mind him being corporate, but they havent been using him well in the role, thats the difference. The whole alter ego thing is a really cool concept (see Batman) but the WWE has only half done it. Mattel has nailed corporate Kane's look. It's the latest masked version we need.

Actually, you guys are wrong. The BP is his return-wm28 attire. The rest are his WM28-29 attire. They (frustratingly and for some mysterious reason) have dodged every attempt to make the singlet version he has worn since WM29 up until his demon kane stints between corporate kane. The BP has the first new masked kane scan and the old stitching design with the orange and red flame. Others all have the angry masked scan, different stitching design and the all red flame. hmm thats cool to know wonder why they never did the singlet version but lets test your knowledge whats the difference between e19 and e 22 Thats an easy one.

Hanging horizontally, from what I've seen is really complicated. I know it wasnt your original question, but if you can fit it, a glass cabinet is a much nicer approach. If you dont have enough belts, add some other figs or WWE merch. I was going to go the hanging route but I looked into the cabinet and im so happy I went this way, looks so classy. Also protects them from dust, pressure on the wall, etc. Just something to think about. |

Fantastic receivings mate! Always a positive to get money back at tax time. Though very few people care about him, that big show is one massively underrated figure. Its fantastic as is the bryan and zeb. Nice bunch of receivings, enjoy and be in touch soon.  |

Wow that cena is dreadful. What's with the half white half blue belt?
None I want from this set, the legends are the standouts though.

No doubt 2K have been conservative in their choice of showcases. Pretty sure they intend to save bigger, more blockbuster kind of ones for the actual game in future years. Hence the selection of two relatively low key ones and warriors.
This better mean they do a kane and undertaker one next year haha.

I'm worth you to be honest. I know there are a bunch of people who enjoy it but I was never really impressed by it and have zero interest in getting it. It just seems a bit bland in expression and not the most exciting of attires or figures of foley.
By no means am I trying to argue for one company over another, but the classic cactus jacks from jakks were awesome. Loved the smooth arms and unique hands plus the really spot on headscan. But they are different attires.

Don't really understand why it's a wm31 series. Inverted Kane looks good and is a great choice, though perhaps he wood have been better suited to the main elite line. I can see this one also becoming rather expensive to acquire.

Why has Mattel dodged each opportunity, including E31, to produce Kane in his singlet masked attire? (WM29-now)

Sounds awesome that Wyatts interfere! Details like this are really cool! Career mode is sounding fantastic too! All the career mode stuff sounds great! I like the whole invasion thing. Other than that it all seems like what I expected which is great. But the thing that disappointed me was that article that said there is very limited CAW options. Only 18 hairstyles!? I really hope that's just the build they played or maybe MyCareer doesn't let you choose all the items right away unlike the normal CAW mode. Loving that sig! |
