Is the lighting or is the hammer and sickle missing from the Soviet flag? If so, why? Good eye, yeah, it appears to be missing.  LOL the blank flag. just scrap this guy man. haha |

The previous Volkoff had the hammer and sickle...There's no reason why he shouldn't on this one.

I actually wouldn’t mind Elite Nakamuras if his parts weren’t so horrible. Not only do they look horrible and too big you can barely move him

I like that the Davey Boy is from later era Bulldogs (1988) as opposed to the Jakks ones (which are more 1985/6). Gives me a reason to have both in my collection, assuming that they do get to do a Dynamite Kid.

Nakamura looks to have the worst tooling of any action figure released in the past 3-4 years. no one can beat Rhyno but I will admit that Nakamura has small torso, Godzilla neck and Tubeman legs. Yeah, Rhyno, Samoa Joe and now Nakamura. Nak's previous tooling was bad enough but yeesh, this one. |

I still dont see it, but here's hoping it's just an early shot, bad camera or they forgot it in photo shop. I couldn't even imagine them bothering to release it as is, if its just a yellow box lol. A soviet flag isnt going to get figures pulled from shelves one would think |

I believe that is a cream cheese or cinnamon stain. Definitely from some kind of pastry.

That Taker scan is laughable. And who's gonna tell Mattel that Taker should be pasty white, not like he just got back from a trip to the sun. Last, those boot spats could really use a new mold. Way too thick and clunky. They've been in use for what, at least 7 years now? And yeah the hair over the eyes is way too short. Sometimes it seems like Mattel is in late-stage Jakks mode. At this point it feels like people are complaining just to complain. This was Jakks at the height of their run. Mattel hasn’t even gotten close to Jakks bad yet.  |

That Nakamura looks like the front view of a centaur. Funniest thing I've ever read on here lmao Anyways, I like Chase Nakamura, I'll also grab Murphy and Dibiase. Don't need or care about anyone else. |

Well, AFA confirmed that Taker is final, they all looked at those bangs and the sun tanned skin and thought yep, that’s awesome! What a joke. “A direction design team wanted to take” lol, they decided to make it wrong on purpose? Even though they have Drew’s hair? Maybe the design team needs a talk.

Ok first, that Taker is pretty damn decent - great scan, excellent likeness, nice looking boot spats, better mask. Shirt could use more detail and gloves are too short. But at least they didn't regurgitate the same exact figure for nearly decade, as they have with both grey and purple Takers - and now that we're finally get a new one, it's just total garbage. Mattel is barely putting in any effort, and my wallet thanks them. |

Can I just see the rest of e80? Don’t care about a Russian jobber character from the 80s or something about purple Undertaker. These have been made. Where’s Bayley and Ricochet? Not quite sure what’s so hard.

While there’s been a couple of good figures in the line since its return I feel like the lineup choices for the Legends series have been kind of surprising, especially considering it caused the line to not do well the first time.
Apart from the exceptions I feel like it’s mostly been faces that aren’t exactly huge names or an odd attire choice. I’m sure most Takers will sell well but I don’t think anyone was asking for this attire.

Not quite sure what’s so hard. They already showed both of those why do you need to see them again? They showed computer renders 3 months ago, they’re supposed to ship from Ringside in a couple weeks. They’re now showing completeD figures that aren’t supposed to come out for another month at least. They have to be done. There’s been actual photos of the rest of the set since then and no updates for those 2. So I don’t want to see them again, I just want to see the finished product of a figure I preordered that’s due this month. Don’t think that’s crazy unreasonable.... |

It’s not going to look any different tho just less cartoony. Mattel never change anything after it gets to the color render stage of design |
