It looks much better with the shirt on......his arms look too puny in relation to the rest of his body. I appreciate you posting the photos as I didn't think I wanted this fig-your photos just confirmed what I was thinking.

So yeah, I think it's pretty good. I mean it could have been maybe a little fatter but I think with the cloth singlet, he looks big enough during WM2. His face expression is fine with me since I remembered him as always yelling with a big mouth.
The shirt is huge. So at least we got a shirt to go with the cloth singlet. I don't mind cloth or molded singlets which I think either way would have worked for Bundy. I give the figure a B+/A-.
I just hope that Legends stick around on Matty.com for next year. It's the only figures I will buy doubles of. I buy some current figures now but don't really care for WWE now when it was WWF.
At least I have Flashbacks to look forward to.

Thanks for the great pics!! Cool looking shirt but I don't believe that Mattel quite captured Bundy's face very well. Anyway hopefully we'll get Big John Studd soon to complete one of the greatest tag teams ever. Google search King Kong Bundy and then check out all his earlier year pics when he didnt have eyebrows and you will then see Mattel nailed it. If your trying to compare it to his 94 run when he had eyebrows thats what its really missing is eyebrows but if your lookin for the the Hogan feud and earlier years, Mattel nailed it. They could have made him a little bigger but its nice for sure. Also, to the ppl still bitching about "King Kong" not being on the packaging, what does it really matter? I mean you obviously know who it is so why complain about 2 words missing from the packaging when you know who the guy is. I could see if you have brain troubles and had a serious risk of forgetting everything in your life soon, but come on, listen to how lame that sounds to complain about a copy written name not being included on a action figure that you know those 2 words to and wouldn't forget obviously. Yeah its like if they released an 8 Ball on the package every body would be pissed because it doesn't say Scott Hall. Or Blue Blazer on a Owen Hart package.

They don't look too bad on Bundy compared to Yoko, but Mattel really need to make a 'fat guy' arm mould.

I stand by what I said, Mattel missed the mark by a mile as far as facial likeness but then again so did Jakks so I guess he's a tough figure to get right. Thanks for the great pics!!

I got it today as well, and I think that the head is excellent. It looks exactly like King Kong Bundy. The arms are too small, and I am not happy with "King Kong" being left off. I display loose so the package doesn't bother me as much, but the shirt is a total loss. The torso is so-so, definitely not fat enough. I hate how the singlet straps (much like Andre's) slide right off of the shoulders. Taken as a loose fig I give it a B+, only because the middle section (torso and arms) are flawed. I think the head is perfect, and the legs are awesome. Why can't we have Earthquake again? Taken as a carded figure, I give it a C- for not having King Kong on the package or shirt, which to me is huge. I don't care if it's "obvious who it is", the name on the package and shirt are wrong wrong. It's like having a Hulk Hogan figure and just calling it "Hogan". If I still displayed carded I honestly probably wouldn't have even bought it because of it. Since I don't, its a nice figure. Overall I like it, vastly superior to the Jakks abomination, and I am glad I got it.
As an aside, at their high price point, we really should get a base with every Legend.

Overall I like it, vastly superior to the Jakks abomination, and I am glad I got it. As an aside, at their high price point, we really should get a base with every Legend. Honestly, if they made a killer Hulk Hogan figure and could only put "Hogan" on the package, i would not complain one bit because we all know who it is and it looks like the guy and we all know thats who it is. I really dont feel like gettin in a 3 thread argument though as to why Mattel didn't put "King Kong" on there and how i do this ( } everytime i hear a big complaint about those 2 words missing but it does sound a lot worse hearing complaints about those 2 words missing even more so than hearing complains about boots being to tall, or wrist tape missing from a figure. Its just simple bickering that i would never understand and just find really annoying. Everyone has there own opinions i guess but to really bad mouth a figure or judge because there missing 2 copywritten words, but they nailed the figure pretty damn good, is just something i cant help but ask why?? and no matter the excuses i hear, they just never make any good argument to me. Best i heard is MOC collectors displaying MOC but even at that, those MOC collectors obviously know who the guy is or they wouldn't be buying him and idk... I just don't see it as a huge problem with the figure unless they totally changed his name to something far far off from Bundy even like called "Big Man Bald Guy" or something lol than that would be ridiculous but thats not even the case at all.
