I have been so happy with Mattel's stuff so far and I still love them but I really only care about the Divas and so far Beth and Mickie have been Amazing!! But seeing this proto of Melina makes me soooo sad!! I tried to let it grow on me but it won’t and I know the figures look different in person but from the looks of this proto there is no hope!! Let me start by saying this Melina does look better than any that Jakks put at but that doesn’t mean it is forgiven for sucking less than jakks, it still sucks! So the first thing is the outfit, I could have over looked the fact that they picked a less appealing outfit if they had at least made it correct. Melina wore this outfit on Smackdown 9/18/09 in a singles match against Michelle McCool. Here is a link to the match if you wanna peep it out after reading this. . . So here is a side by side of the outfit.
As you can see there are lots of things wrong with this, first is the color the pink on the figure is way to light! Melina has never worn a pink like this! This is Kelly Kelly pink! And it sucks because when I set up my divas I want to look at them as a whole each with their own personality coming through their outfits and having Melina in baby pink just doesn't go for her. So the pink should be darker and the gold should be lighter. And clearly you can see they should have added sparkles and if they are not able to do a sparkle paint (all those barbies their making over there someone should have some damn sparkles) then maybe they shouldn't have picked the outfit! next the gold stripe under her breast and around her waist should be thicker. Next we have the design on the sides of the legs.
something is just wrong I think the design should be wider and longer it looks like it is just rolled on with a stamp! To someone who doesn't know the outfit wouldn't know that was skin showing thru. also those sock things she has on over her boots might not be hard for us to make. And the last part of the outfit is the shoulder straps. They are way too thin!!! Which brings me to my next topic the body molds! The Beth/Mickie top the straps are the right width and the breast are a better size.
I apperciate they fact that Mattel is making different Diva molds but Oops Melina was the wrong Diva to display the new mold as she is not skinner than Mickie and Beth. (the Kelly fig would be perfect for this new mold) Plus as you can see in this pic Melina's boobs are NOT that small!!
On a side note the stomach for this new mold looks freakishly odd!! its long and skinny where the old mold gives more a female curve. Anyways onto the hair WTF!?! When has Melina's hair ever been that curly? She has waves as they cleary depict in there own carding of Melina Not curly hair and its way to short also!!!
This has always been an issue with me I don't understand why it is such a problem to make the hair long enough, is it a money issue? Anyways maybe it would have been longer if it wasn't curled up tighter than a poodle!! Lastly that tiny face, what is that? she kinda looks like Melina, I guess but she more so looks like one of the douche bag dudes from Jersey shore!
I think as detailed as Mattel has been the perfect outfit for them to have done would be this one.
When I think of Melina and all her outfits I think Brown! Plus how many other divas will they make wearing brown? I'm not bashing Mattel but like a child you want them to do the best they can and this is no where near it!!!
