After all we've seen this week, are we really at the point where we are going to bitch about the fact that his singlet is a few centimeters higher than it should be? You must be new. Hi, welcome to Wfigs! WFigs: Where someone hits a new low everyday!

I guess many people don't remember when DX was off limits. Sure the figures aren't perfect but they are still the best representations in figure form. Now bring on Chyna!

I love it, personally this, the black and white and the red one are all equally awesome to me, I just hope red isn't released as basic only.
Awesome new knee pad mold too.

Chris Benoit is probably the only 100% of limits figure. Everyone else is remotely possible (Owen, if his wife ever has a change of heart or needs money) to highly likely (nWo Hogan).But nothing is 100% sure until it happens.

I had a bad feeling they'd do this attire. It's from after that initial DX 2.0 run, and it's far less visually interesting than his neon green attire or the white one. This is like his post-relevant look. I actually don't mind the tongue since it's a strong likeness, but the original DX shirt? Would've been so much better with even a modified (i.e. no "suck it" and possibly no "69" on the back) football jersey. That European title eats up a lot of his budget, so if they axed that and the DX shirt and gave him a jersey, it'd look so much better.
I feel like all of the DX figures had something noticeably off about them. Triple H's attire is from the night he turned on DX (the Basic figure of him in purple is what 99% of us wanted for that Elite - and they could've made it glossy like Jakks did), Road Dogg's shirt is hilariously too big, Billy's boots are wrong and the kiss logo on the crotch being too controversial is silly, and now X-Pac is off because of the attire and lack of the jersey. None of them are bad figures, I personally like them, I just feel they weren't executed with the level Mattel are fully capable of at the Elite pricepoint.

I personally don't care for the billy problem (I bought the decals and added the kisses.) or the Road Dogg problem (I sold the shirt and bought a Jakks one.) and didn't buy Triple H. I guess I just always pay for Mattels inconsistencies or lack of detail, etc.

Hell man, at least we're getting an X-Pac! I don't think that's the right attitude. I think if Mattel are to make anyone and want them to be made well....very well. In this case I think Mattel have done a great job. The figure and his likeness are great....i'd have preferred a fabric jersey but the most important thing is the figure itself to me.

I know she has a right to grieve as his wife, but let the man live on through DVD's, action figures and video games! Seriously Owen doesn't deserve the Benoit treatment.

I understand he sticks his tongue out a lot and he is known for it almost as much as Miley Cyrus. A MILEY ACTION FIGURE CUSTOM!

Martha has no problem letting Owen live on in all those things. He was in Showdown: Legends of Wrestling. It's just the fact that she can't make amends with the company that killed him. Sure it was an accident but it was their fault. Imagine being his wife and signing a deal that let's the company that killed her husband make money off his name?

I have been a huge Sean Waltman fan since he debuted back in 93 and I've been dying for Mattel to release an X-Pac figure for years. But this is a damn joke, why does his tongue have to be out on almost every damn figure that is made? I understand he sticks his tongue out a lot and he is known for it almost as much as Miley Cyrus. But this is just a disappointment on so many levels for me. The rubber shirt that is somehow supposed to fit over his head and hair, the late DX ring gear, and the FLUNKING TONGUE. I guess I'm going to invest in a few Jakks TTL figures and have to do a head swap. Yes, the tongue out is very common but you have to understand that an X-Pac with his tongue out probably would sell better than one with a straight face or just smile...on shelves it would look more interesting to buy...even kids who don't know X-Pac may say,"that face looks cool." I'm DEFINITELY BUYING IT. I have Triple H, New Age Outlaws and HBK...now X-Pac and DX Complete.

If I were her I would negotiate the largest part of the royalties possible. Because he died working for the company they should have no problem paying her more for Owen's rights than the biggest stars Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, John Cena etc. It's just frustrating because Owen was a big favorite of mine from 94-97 during his solo run. And it's like he did something wrong, which he didn't. It was just a terrible accident.

I'm sick to death of that DX shirt . Haha, I feel Mattel is trolling with these, I mean Billy Gunn came with 2 and the other was white Lmao Mattel always had this thing where they chose an "off" attire, I wonder who makes these final decisions. There's a reason why the legends line failed but I'm not complaining, just complaining for the majority who wanted his earlier look . I think it looks great just wish the banana was removable. I really can't wait to own this guy haha
