If its gonna look anything like Jake the snake or hill billy Jim than leave it off. Their chest hair looks like they have ants on them. I would assume that since he comes with the top part of the entrance gear he will also have his chaps.

I just hope we get the full entrance gear deco with him, the european title is a nice touch, looks like my bulldogs getting hooked up!

I would not mind one bit if it was the chest hair like on the legends Arn Anderson! I hope we get a new headscan that actually looks like shawn, but i have a feeling from looking at the screen photo's that it is the Entrance Greats head with long hair ... but atleast that actually looks like HBK. God, how i would love a smirking/smiling headscan though... How could it be the EG head with long hair? The EG figure's hair is actually part of the head mold and not a seperate pice like guys with the long hair. They'd have to have a new head mold where the hair could be attached to it. (If you've ever pulled long hair pieces off a Jakks or Mattel figure you'll know what I mean. The top of the head is missing and there's a grove/notch where the hair fits into. The top of the HBK eg figure has it's hair painted on, so if they didn't paint the hair on and put moulded longer hair on they would have the eg HBK facial expression with moulded hair ... I'm probably wrong, I just said what I thought, sorry |

I really thought there would have been a Mattel answer in this thread.

I'm probably wrong, I just said what I thought, sorry When you pull the hair off a long haired head there's no back of the head. The head is only like 3/4 of a complete head. HBK's head is a whole solid head with a ponytail added to it. Like this. So it would be easier to make a new sculpt than cut and change that one to fit a hair piece correctly.  |

Chicks don't dig chest hair.... HBK didnt seem to have any problems getting women when he had a chest full of hair That's because he's the Heartbreak Kid! |

I'm not crazy about chest hair but it grows on you. A ha ... Get it?
No but seriously I didn't love jakes or hbjims at first but its a mattel wwe thing now and I hope HBK does have his chest hair as he didnt shave it off then. Take away little details and it adds up eventually. Also I remember a year or so ago Boss bill answered a question about wanting to add chest hair to HBK figures, we haven't seen any yet so I'm hoping this is the first. Only makes sense to me anyways, and if you don't like it then acetone it off

i kinda wish it would have the necklace and chaps too....but i guess thats too expensive.
I'm really wanna see a better pic of the hair. I think in the actual Bad Blood match he had the front part of his hair pulled back into a ponytail

I'm probably wrong, I just said what I thought, sorry I don't think that they would recycle that headscan, but it's not impossible. They took the L3 Rock whose hair was molded as part of his head and made him bald. And then B10 Ziggler whose hair was molded and made it short. But I really hope it will be a new scan, they're already recycling the EG head for the Wrestlemania Elite this year. |

I looked at the pic from comic con and it doesn't look like the eg head scan. I wish MDT would let us know.

It just wouldn't look right without the chaps so i hope they're included. As for the chest hair if its not on there it won't bother me too much. I just know this figure will be on backorder by the time i realize its available for preorder.

I can forgive the boots being wrong and no chest hair. But please Mattel, give him painted knee pads.

I just hope they give him larger arms for once. The arms used for the eg and RRH are too small for those years. At least give him the average size arms used for most figures. The ones used for his Rockers figure and the DM Bret...etc. The scrawny ones they give him are good for modern HBK figures but not old school.

Not botherd about chest hair in the slightest, just happy that they finally listened & gave the majority of the board what they wanted.
