I think the point here is, if its a premium elite action figure then why is it missing details?
if its cost then eliminate something thats not that important. He can sell without entrance gear, or without a belt, certanly he can sell without half his entrance gear. but the kneepads and chest hair are little details that mattel should get right considering how much they have preached on selling figures that were as good as they could possibly get them. and how much mattel have preached about details. They are both pretty cool details that could really make the figure look more like HBK from his 97 run
RSC will charge at least $40 for this figure, personally i could find entrance gear elsewhere but im not very good at painting and i dont want to even imagine what my hbk would look like with painted knee pads and painted chest hair
why are people harping on someone for trying to help MDT make the product better? MDT have mentioned before that feedback here sometimes helps in decisions. Theres no point in whining about it but its not a bad thing to voice your concerns to MDT while the figure is still in the production phase.
Personally I hope they give HBK Chest hair and detailed kneepads.

As another one of the many other members who were really hoping to strike gold with this HBK, I am pretty disappointed in the lack of the major details that define who HBK is (chest hair, accurate entrance gear, etc.)
However, I stand by my decision to spend a pretty penny on it in the hopes to show Mattel that there is a demand for more FB HBKs, especially many of the fan demanded ones (i.e. Texas Hearts, 97 DX, 92 "Sexy Boy")...I just hope that going forward many of these glaring issues are resolved

I completely agree with you guys. I'd rather not have the entrance gear at all if it's not complete. MDT should seriously consider giving that HBK chest hair and knee pads. Not to mention, am I the only one that would prefer the L.O.D boots for this figure?

Hopefully Mattel will chime in. Maybe with some good production changes. Since RSC will have the pre orders of E 19 for Christmas when will Mattel start producing them? Hope it's not to late to tweak things.

Maybe someone should ask them on the matty boards if they plan to add anything to the Hbk or why they didn't add certain things. I don't wanna make an account. They usually respond to stuff there tho.

I want to apologize if I seemed upset or angry with Mattel earlier. That certainly is not the case. They do great work. However, I know guys like me and Hulkamania 4 Life have literally rebuilt our collections because the announcement of this figure. I'm not dumping on it but for an ELITE "highly detailed" figure I just wish it covered all aspects. If you're going to put knee pads on a basic HBK and chest hair on a basic Cesaro then both of those should be a given on an ELITE figure. This shouldn't even have to be talked about.

ok so if its based on badd blood '97 WHERE THE IS THE REST OF HIS ENTRANCE GEAR? ? hopefully it just wasn't ready for RSF and it will be on the final product, half assed entrance gear is pretty pathetic for this "premium" line of action figures The figure is based off his Hell in a Cell match with Undertaker at Badd Blood 1997. I can't believe "be happy with it or just do a torso swap" is actually a response. We are paying top dollar for an Elite "highly detailed authentic action figure" but getting less detail than most basic figures. Give me a break. i agree. and i understand the budget issues per elite series but then the design teams priorities are askew if this *incomplete* entrance gear that he wore for a few minutes trumps the inclusion of important hbk details from that whole era--chest hair, stubble, kneepads

Couldn't have said it better brother. I was done collecting and this was the fig that slapped me upside the head and told me to go back to collecting. I hope we get plenty of these fb Hbk and next on my list is that purple glove taker.
