The figure looks good in my opioion but the body looks way to thin for Kane. Kane was always big the chest area and this figure does'nt catch that good. Still a good figure worth getting tho!

no offense, but what sucky product photography to be on WWE.com... The posing was amaturish with his fresh-out-the-package-knock-knee and the background is under-exposed. Why isn't AdamBomb taking those product pics!?!? You know, HardyHeft messaged me on Facebook, and asked if I did take the photos - I'm glad you knew immediately it was not me. A lot of people here now know that Mattel came to me and asked if I would do product photography. I LOVE Mattel's work, and I love that they asked me to be involved, because I truly feel like my work is BETTER than this. I don't want to knock whoever did these pictures - but the fact is, I feel like they're trying to replicate my style, and it's amateurish at best. The background needs to be blown out, it needs to be solid white, the posing is bland, the angles are wonky, and I don't know why in the world the warped leg wasn't fixed prior to photographing. Here is a tip for whoever took these: The shot of the mask in hand, was pretty well done. I'll give you that, however, if you are using a DSLR, which it looks like you are, unless you want the "far away" look where certain aspects are out of focus, keep your aperture in the middle - around f/6-f/8, use a tripod and a self timer with a slower shutter speed to compensate so more light enters the aperture, and exposes the image better. If you still have vignetting, clean it up in photoshop. And never, ever use auto focus. Shoot manual, focus manual. ...I mean, I'm not saying I'm "special" or anything, I'm just a collector and a fan, who understands this pretty well. --- And one last thing, up the saturation value in the photo, make the red really pop, and the black really black. |

Your work is better man. I don't even collect figures anymore and I still tend to pop around the boards to see if you've posted any new pics. That figure looks cool, but like others said, the shots were kinda lame. |

I got it pre-ordered! Man I am excited for this figure. Easily the best exclusive since the SDCC Undertaker. And for all time with Mattel, this ties said Undertaker. At least IMO. CM Punk is coming soon, so I'll be ordering that too. I know its a matter of opinion, but really? The Kane is inaccurate, doesn't have a new headscan, and the mask looks awkward from being too big. SDCC Taker is unique in so many ways (even Vader has a removable mask), has its own headscan, a ridiculous amount of detail, and has that 'wow' factor that only a few figures possess. This is coming from a fan of Kane when he was younger, and I love his E4 figure. A debut Kane would be great if done right. |

I'd like to get it,and truthfully,I probably will. I love the attire and I actually like the mask itself. I'm just underwhelmed as it pertains to the headscan. We really should have had a new sculpt with facial hair not neceesarily a different expression,but just a different style of neutral expression. Like I said,I'm more likely to buy than to pass on it,but I can wait a little bit.

It goes without saying that its not the E4 scan, two completely different facial expressions. My first thought was B2, but after reading your post I held my B2 up to the screen and I can't say with 100% certainty that's its not a new headscan. As someone else pointed out, wwe.com did a terrible job at taking these pics. If its revealed later on to be a new headscan then you have a damn good eye. |

I really think this looks superb MOC, the packaging is truly awesome and i reckon it looks best MOC when masked. Loose, i love how it looks unmasked, it looks perfect and is as creepy as he was back then. This is a very good exclusive and I cant wait to own it!

Is his body(chest /stomach) mold the same one they used for Mr Perfect or is it bigger?

The figure looks incredible. At first I was going to wait until the price dropped a bit, but after seeing these, I really want it already and I might as well bite the bullet and pre-order, but we'll see.
