My Elite DB came in the mail yesterday and it's an OK figure - the face paint really ruins it, but more on that later.
I also got the RSC Brock Lesnar and I decided to put DB's Wyatt jumpsuit on Lesnar and it really fits him much better. It's too baggy for Bryan and the crotch is too low.
Was that suit originally intended for Rowan before they decided to sculpt his entire figure?
Can we get at least one DB head sculpt that is cast in skin-tone and the beard is painted? The painted head is killing his figure! I would even buy it as an exclusive if it needed a higher budget!

Well...If it was meant for Rowan it should fit on a Kane body then, right?
Has anyone tried putting it on Kane?

It's too baggy for Bryan and the crotch is too low. If being too baggy and the crotch being too low means that the clothes were designed for a larger figure, then every set of removable pants Mattel has done so far in the WWE line must have been designed for Big Show.

Well, originally Kane was supposed to join the Wyatt Family (in WWE storylines) prior to Daniel Bryan joining. But then Kane said no one could see his moobs under that potato sack, Vince McMahon agreed and they said, "Let's make Daniel Bryan do it! That's what he gets for being small and knowing how to wrestle!"
True story.

I think it was ment for Bryan. The fabric tends to stretch over time, so giving it room helped in the long run. However, it could have been an add on from Mattel to the customizers/ fixer uppers, of " Hey, we royally ed up Rowan, he'll be in a blue jumper soon anyways, so here, grab a figure in his size, swap head/arms, and you'll have a current Rowan with FULL arm rotation. Sorry-Mattel."

Bill said they made it a little big so you can use it with other figures and not just Bryan

Cant remember if it was Bill, but someone mentioned that it was made slightly bigger to accommodate larger figures. So that you could have other potential Wyatt followers.

Agreed on the painted Daniel Bryan heads killing the figure. I guess their reasoning is that the head hair and beard is one whole piece, whereas Bray Wyatt's hair is a separate piece. So Mattel needs to either figure out how to make the hair and head separate pieces (which shouldn't be too hard) or cast the head in skin-tone and paint the hair and beard.

I'm more annoyed that people keep putting the jump suit on backwards. The Velcro goes in the FRONT people!

Pretty useless accessory in my opinion. I wish someone would buy mine on Ebay otherwise it's going right into the garbage. As for Bryan I don't think the face looks all that bad in person.

I think Bill said in an interview with RSC, i want to say in the SDCC video, that they made it baggy on purpose so we could use it on other figures. But I'm not quite sure, someone will have to correct me or confirm it

I'm pretty sure it was meant for Daniel Bryan.

The face isn't bad at all. You can't even notice unless you're looking for it.

I don't own a Bryan Elite figure yet. I keep looking at this figure, but just can't seem to bring myself to buy it. I think the jumpsuit looks stupid, but the figure looks good.

Honky Tonk Man's Jumpsuit fits well on Kane if you remember seeing the weird eBay thread about it awhile back
