im glad that Tom and Tim are very honest about the figures that were shown Tim's weird grudges against some of them were fun. Like how he seemed to resent that the Yokozuna was similar to the Jakks one. It's not like Yoko had many different looks. All they really could've done to differentiate was put a beard and wrist tape on him, and that version of Yoko isn't how most people remember him. When he was talking about how you can look at classic figures and say "oh, remember that guy" but you can't do that if they're in Elite Flashback packaging, I had no idea what he meant. But I figure it was the end of a long day for them! Bundy was a pretty huge guy, too. The wrestler most shaped like an egg. So I think Tim might be on the money with that one. I don't think he was anywhere near Yokozuna size, though.  Does anyone know for sure what the accessory with R-Truth is, and why he has it? |

Bundy was huge but not as big as Yoko. I think that Bundy is fine and a shirt is better than no shirt.
I think it will look better once we see how Bundy looks without the shirt. You know what they say, wearing a black shirt can make you look skinnier while wearing white makes you look fatter than you are.

Thanks for the support of that Legends 2013 BAF idea guys! :-)
I'd recently rewatched Survivor Series 87 and was kinda shocked at how smaller Bundy was myself. He was smaller than One Man Gang for sure so in the relative scale of this line he looks fine. The main thing with him was he had very little visible neck so maybe if they're able to sink his head in a bit more it'd more closely resemble that "egg" shape that most of us think of with him.
I wasn't sure what Tim's beef with Yokozuna was either. It looks perfect to me. Only thing missing in my mind is a Japanese flag and Mr. Fuji with salt bucket. ;-)
A real quick Google search showed Arn with black tights and those red and white boots as a member of the 4Horsemen. I think I'm gonna get two of him to make a Dangerous Alliance version with red and white tights.

I think its the cloth ties he usually wears around his wrist. His previous two elites had them as well. Whoever set them up must not have realised what they were and just put them in his hands. |

Isn't Tim Ash the guy who would sell his figures for an ungodly amount of money?

I was shaking my head when they were saying Bundy needed more fat rolls. Bundy was wide- very wide-but his torso looked like a cube. Lots of rolls wouldn't be accurate. |

Yeah I dont like the fact they mentioned problems that weren't really there yet they were afraid to mention DDPs head sculpt!
I feel sad when a Legend doesn't look as good as I'd expect from Mattel because theres a huge possibility that's the one and only we will get :-(

Does anyone know for sure what the accessory with R-Truth is, and why he has it? Good question. I have been asked that numerous times over the past couple days and I wish I had looked more closely because of it. The explanation that whoever was setting them up didn't realize they went around his wrists is probably the right one. I don't remember it being anything more than a cloth rag. I found it interesting that Tim and I had hugely varying opinions this time around. Made for a good video I'd like to think. At the end of the day, I enjoyed everything I saw, but it's clear that Tim is more hardcore and I am more casual, so I guess it's good to have two separate looks. As far as referencing DDP's head, my opinion of it isn't too strong in either direction so that's why I didn't go that deep, personally. I remember wanting to mention how I wished it was based on self-help DDP instead but the subject just moved on. |

i still dont understand why some ppl complain sooooo much about the exact likeness of theses figures, i mean they are toys, plastic made painted toys. they are made by computer scan, not laboratory made, genetically engineered mini clones, they are TOYS.
i would love to hear what are his real feeling about all these anal questions. like what he is saying to himself.

I think the big man body that they probably used for Bundy is fine.

Ah, fair enough. It looked like it might be from a strap match or something, but your suggestion does make more sense. Great figure, either way! |

I guess we'll know or sure when the figure comes out  |

No answer on Canadian distribution problems?

No answer on Canadian distribution problems? No point asking the designers about specific distribution issues. I believe they said in one of the board Q & As that that's not their department so they couldn't/wouldn't field questions on it anymore. |

Bundy is on point he wasnt billed nearly as heavy as Yoko, his body looks perfect for him, and he DID wear that shirt in WWF. I dont know how anyone can forget that shirt, I mean I remember it being in WWF magazine for sale with the rest of the guys shirts! Man I wish I'd have had my mom buy a few for me of my favorite wrestlers!

Hello guys and gals, here is why I asked for you guys to decide if I might have been a "little harsh" on the King Kong Bundy figure. If you look at the figure close enough you will see that Bundy is wearing a cloth style t-shirt, that I did research to find out he did wear a few times. Anyway, my observation of the figure was that in my opinion, Bundy was too small and that he needed more fat rolls. I should have corrected myself and said more bulk. If you view the figure you will indeed see that he is also wearing a CLOTH SINGLET UNDER A CLOTH T-SHIRT. The figure itself needed to be a bit more bulky in my observation. After you guys look at it again then tell me if you think I am wrong. I just thought of Bundy as a massive dude back in the day. And it would have been cool to see a close representation of his likeness. That is all am saying, I maybe wrong but that is just my opinion. Let me know what you guys think. By the way the interview with Tom was a blast, I hope you guys enjoyed it.
