If you don't care, congratulations. You have low standards and that's fine. But some of us do care. And that's not stupid. I never called it stupid, the only mega thing here that I consider a problem is the Eddie, his attire should be WWF accurate. But things such as Nikki and Tyler are small adjustments that can be made before they are mass produced, you guys getting your panties in a bunch from something that can be fixed is ridiculous. I'm not trying to argue at all, but unless someone points out these inaccuracies and brings light to the situation then it is not likely that Mattel would make the adjustments like you claim they can easily do. If they don't know they messed up, then they're not making changes. Example: WM31 Kane. Bill posted a few days after Ringside Fest that he had enough time to change Kane's mask to the inverted look because so many people pointed it out and wanted it to look different. Had no one pointed it out then we wouldn't have gotten that different mask. I know these specific examples in this thread may not be big deals to some people on here, but clearly there are enough people who would like to see them changed. Bill from MDT has also posted on here before claiming that the day no one has anything to complain about is the day that collector's don't care about the product anymore and encourages criticism of the figures he designs. (Yes even things like wrist tape) As for the figures posted, I would personally buy all three of those figures no matter what but now that it's been pointed out how Eddie's tights are inverted, it does kinda bother me and I hope they can change it since I didn't think these were supposed to come out until fall unless something has changed.

If you don't care, congratulations. You have low standards and that's fine. But some of us do care. And that's not stupid. My standard is this: when I look at a figure do I think, "Wow, that's a great looking version of _______!" Or do I say to myself, "Hey, I KNOW something is wrong here. I KNOW for a fact that ______ was actually [this color]." If my own good memory tells me something is way wrong, then it perturbs me. But I never carry on research projects to prove anything to myself. If I can't exactly recall then it isn't a big deal to me so long as it looks cool in figure form. That's it. When the WM6 Warrior came with the yellow strap winged eagle WITH THE BLACK GLOBE then I KNEW it was wrong. I didn't need a pic reference. I've seen that match countless times and I knew it was off. And the black globe winged eagle was very annoying for the longest time because I KNEW. But Eddie's tights inverted or whatever means nothing to ME personally. I didn't know any of this until it was pointed out/discovered. To each his own, though.

Nobody said the figures are based on the in ring looks. Maybe they're supposed to look like the promos.

Nikki has a beautiful scan, the details on her ring gear are fantastic, I love the way her hair falls in the front so that you can see the "Bella 02" on the back of her top, I would have preferred her solid black and red cap instead of the spiky one, and her wrist tape is on her forearms. Oh, God. I think I just said "Mattel ing sucks!" in Millennial.

Internet...where people will complain about any and everything. The figures look fine. Some can post a pic from any house show and then claim the attire is inaccurate because the wrist tape was an inch higher. ......... Who cares the figures are awesome. That's Wfigs in a nutshell

See Elite 3 Christian. I suppose that's what happened to E26 Roman Reigns' missing wrist tape as well. Actually Roman wrestled several matches (attacks to other wrestlers) without wrist bands. Bill said Roman Reigns was just a screw up on his part

Definitely something that should be fixed going forward. This was a great showing. I'm pumped for the next few months of WWE figs.

I love people acting like children and throwing a hissy because EastCoast just simply pointed out something that most of us didnt know. Good eye man, sorry people get so butt hurt at you sharing info with us.

Jesus, get a life lol.
Even with the absolutely minuscule issues that you have brought up I would still buy them. Can't believe people have this kind of time on their hands.

Right, how dare the OP come up with a well-thought out, non-accusatory post about why some inaccuracies may be taking place during figure development. I'd much rather read the fifty posts that will come in the next three months about how "mattlle sux cuz they cant paint stuff write" instead of one actual thread about something insightful and explanatory. I'm glad you were able to read between the lines and come to the conclusion that eastcoast didn't think the figures were worthy of being purchased, because I totally missed where he complained, was rude and or sarcastic like 90% of the threads on this board. I will make the assumption that mdt does its best to make the figures as accurate as possible, and it may be that nobody on their end has ever noticed something like the possibility of images being reversed. I know I wouldn't have, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be brought to their attention. Some of the people in this thread need to save their vitriol for the garbage that usually haunts the Mattel board, and stow the petty differences with certain members and overreactions to perceived slights.

Welcome to the wrestling figure forum where everyone tries to convince the other wrestling figure fans that they're too cool to care about wrestling figures.

I would have never noticed this if you hadn't pointed it out. I guess I am no very observant.

Eddie is a 2 in 1 figure. That's the way I'll see it.

Personally, I don't really care all that much.
I wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out...but like Nivro said, that was a good catch.
Props to East Coast for being that observant.

Wrong tights are a problem with me some of the other smaller stuff like missing tats and armbands too far up I can live with though but I dont see a problem with pointing out little things if it helps make the product better down the road when they rerelease some of these characters possibly.

Very well spotted and this is something I've noticed too, you've definitely done a good job of showing how it has had an effect. I wish WWE would supply them with more accurate photos. I suspect this is where the blue corporate kane from the BAF set came from.
