Volkoff is def the best fig of this set. The fig overall looks the best
(even tho personally I’d like him on a bigger torso, the dude was 300lbs, thicker torso/chest than hogan , not the same size as honky tonk man)
Takers hair is off, something about the face as well
DiBiase has the wrong style jacket and is way too short.
Tatanka’s torso is way too big. Does anyone even like that torso? It’s only believable on Batista imo.
Legends 9 turned out to be a weak set, not because of character/outfit selection, but because of part selection/execution.

This lineup just feels like it was designed to be something they could design and be done with quickly. Tatanka and Volkoff are basically just some minor deco changes from their prior figures. Taker is a straight up re-release with a new head and an existing softgoods design. And DiBiase looks to be the Virgil figure with some different arms. Compared to the other waves in this lineup, this one just feels very out of place to me and definitely feels like something that was meant to be a quick turnaround. |

It's definitely better. And he said he was going to make an effort - which clearly he did. He doesn't work for Target -- but somehow I doubt it got so much better between Series7-8 and 9 on its own. If you want to keep hating despite him helping make it better, that's up to you
I don't blame him or Mattel at all. I view this as a Target issue, which has apparently improved some but not quite enough yet. |

Still can’t believe they took the hammer and sickle off the jacket of a guy who’s entire character was “I like communism” 😂 I had forgotten they did that

Not sure why this one couldn't. Maybe the political climate has changed and communism is more of a touchy subject these days? |

Slightly off topic but why in the world are people over on the ‘Bay bidding the insane prices they are bidding on Chase Dibiase’s. It’s not like this is going to be that hard to find.

So, I can see why some people pay higher prices. |

Not saying I would pay eBay prices, but I never saw the chase Valentine or Jake in my area. Guess I’ve been lucky. Found two Valentines and one Jake, although now that I think about it, without popfindr it will be more difficult. Hoping to pull a chase with my preorder if the card isn’t destroyed in the mail. |

So, I can see why some people pay higher prices. Yeah I don’t find chases in store either so I’ll be buying on the secondary market. But it’s just dumb that people are already bidding so high. Give more of these a chance to hit shelves and by then the prices should be lower |

Give more of these a chance to hit shelves and by then the prices should be lower That's true of every release though. I can't explain the logic, since the prices always settle considerably. But some people just really love being one of the first to have a figure. |

Received my Volkoff today which was scheduled for the 26th and my Tatanka that was scheduled for this Friday, but didn’t get the other two that were scheduled for....wait for it...today. Oh well, have to wait and see what Dibiase I get for a while longer I guess.
