My only gripe isn't the hardcore title. That can be easily fixed with paint and such. My gripe is with the figure itself. It looks rushed and sloppy. The painted belt on his tights looks sloppy and off. It would've looked better if it was somewhat molded or had bumps ala Jericho's jacket, then painted over it. It looks like a bad custom. The colors are off on his mask and on the outfit itself. First exclusive I won't be buying. Sucks cuz I'm a huge Kane fan and loved all of Mattels Kanes. Dare I say, it looks similar to the jakks version. Almost like if they looked at the jakks version and copied the colors onto this one more or less.

Is the skin tone on the chest painted?

Unlike the "Texas Rattlesnake" exclusive, I find myself having to look for reasons to order "Hardcore Kane" other than the usual "I'll wait until the price drops" complaint.
Considering the many Kane fans out there who collect and their love for this particular look during his career, "Hardcore Kane" should have been a no-brainer of a pre-order rather than a brain-racker to determine if it's worth its weight in flaws.
The paint app to the mask is too bright red and clunky in its execution. The upper body isn't nearly massive enough to represent Kane circa 2001. The painted-on studded belt is too wide and amateurish in its appearance. The skin tone painted throughout Kane's ensemble resembles coffee stains more than it does mesh. The laced boots are inaccurate to what Kane wore at the time.
Now, I can appreciate some of the effort put into the Hardcore Championship, but it's minimal at best and dull coloring certainly doesn't help matters. Even the slightest splash of color would have improved the accessory tremendously.
Much like Austin's exclusive, this had the potential to be something of a home run with its late Attitude Era entry and the debut of yet another Classic WWF figure belt by Mattel. Instead, "Hardcore Kane" grounded out to short and its potential got sent packing back to Double-A figure making.

Mattel it is a good figure like most figures from mattel and the hardcore title it has is a good baseline but IT NEEDS SOMETHING MORE. So mattel listen to these people i implore you all you have to is PAINT THE STRAP RIGHT and it goes from GOOD to AWESOME. A mediocre figure can be saved with a good paint job on the belt

Feel like mask should be inverted.

Undertakers are painted skin tone torsos as well. Used to it.

When compared to the pic on the box, it's not correct. The red and black on the mask isn't right. They have it as Red base with black stripes, instead if the opposite way.

If there's one thing I have to agree on, it's the mask. I think the red in it could be a little darker.
But the Hardcore title is pretty accurate despite the fact it looks a little bright. I'm probably going to end up buying it so I can switch the side plates on that title onto my custom Hardcore title. I'd also repaint the mask so the red on it gets a little darker...

look, kane's arms were bigger than undertakers at that time. and he kinda had a gut i think the kane figure is just too scrawny, and that studded belt isnt doing him any favors

Oh man kinda disappointed with this. The mask looks off a little, maybe its the paint. The belt needs the red marks on it and shinier. However, I am still getting it since I am a Kane fan and it would almost complete my evolution of Kane setup.

Piece of Crap when compared to this 12 year old gem The headsculpt on this looks better for the Kane of this period than Mattels re-use of earlier Kane.

I'll buy him, but yeah, the minor flaws are bugging me. Definitely should have had the bigger arms and some more paint on the belt would have been great.

^The minor flaws all add up, unfortunately. look, kane's arms were bigger than undertakers at that time. Good lord. It's weird how the E12 Kane had massive arms, but the two classic Kanes that followed it regressed back to the smaller arms.

If you stare at the mask long enough, it actually does end up looking like a black base with red stripes. >__>
I'm gonna' wait on this for a bit before ordering. I like the belt.

The mask is very red, belt looks strange, but all up, a decent exclusive.
