Looks great, nice scan. But where's the entrance gear? Maybe it costs too much to produce? MDT? HHH's entrance gear from WM27 last year hit TRU earlier this spring. Taker's gear from WM26 came out 2 years later. These things can take time to make, lol.

dont forget guys, this figure will be part of a promotion soon enough, just like The Rock & HBK in years past.

True, I guess best case scenario would be part of the Elite line since I doubt they would re-release him as part of the PPV line with just the entrance jacket for TRU.

Looks great but it's just... in complete without his jacket. Oh well I'm sure I'll still get it.

AWESOME!! Looks a lot better than I was anticipating him to be. Looks like I need to add him to my list of must haves now.

I wish it had his robe, but I guess the one from Elite 14 will work.

It looks like they blew the budget on the packaging...should've ditched the hammer, chair, and fancy box for the full entrance gear.
It also looks like Mattel is JAKKing this one, with this bare-bones release now that everyone will buy for the new bald 'Taker head, and release the fully-loaded entrance gear one in about a year, which everyone will buy again to get the gear even though it's the same figure.

To quote Zack Ryder: SIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!! Hopefully it'll hit my TRU in 1/2 months. I'll probably get some Christmas money and buy this sucker!

So glad they used that head scan for undertaker and just modified the hair. It's definitely the best Taker scan so far.

It looks like they blew the budget on the packaging...should've ditched the hammer, chair, and fancy box for the full entrance gear. Do you REALLY think they could've sculpted that new entrance gear as well as the new head and got it on shelves in just over six months, or are you just bitching for the sake of bitching? Only a moron would've expected it. It's never happened with any other Mattel figure because it's impossible in the timeframe. The Wrestlemania fall figures are repaints with the occasional new-ish part (like The Rock's head sculpt last year, or Undertaker's this year). The earliest we'd see new elaborate entrance robes would be a while after Christmas, like with the WM27 Triple H. What I'm saying is that if they can't do it right, they shouldn't do it at all until they can, which leads into the second part of my post that you didn't quote. This is a "quick bucks" figure for Mattel. I don't have a problem with that because I'm not buying the figure anyway, entrance gear or not. Just giving my thoughts on this new figure.
