Brother Love = slightly disappointing

[destino]

So I finally found him in the wild the other day. The shirt not being fully painted is weird and obviously a cost cutting measure, but I do wonder if it was all red if it could dye the white coat, especially when I saw that the book was put in a bag to prevent that very problem.

His face is a little too pink and he does have some inaccurate pieces/missing details, but overall it’s not a bad Brother Love.

I like the figure. Its not perfect but I can make it work. The shirt not being painted sucks cause I planned on swapping the coat but I can always paint it myself.

Picked him up this morning. While I can understand the complaints about the shirt paint and lack of flower, I personally think this is a terrific figure. Great face scan, awesome hands (love the poses and the rings) and the accessories are cool. One of my favorite releases of 2023 personally.

I did a quick browse through the thread and didn't see this mentioned already (apologies if I missed it), but isn't the paint what they have been doing with other suited figures lately so that the shirt isn't seen from the side where the arms connect to the torso like older suited figures?

Sort of. On the RA Bischoff, his white shirt has black paint around the shoulder sockets so the arms blend better with his jacket. In Brother Love's case, the exposed V of his chest is the only thing that's painted red. Yes, his suit arms blend nicely with the coat, but from some angles you can clearly see the paint application just stops. It probably should have extended a bit further down and out.

They have used his picture on the back and he is holding pocket square and their is a flower also... How can they miss those details.

It is a nice figure, the head is a bit pink (though they could have been going for this look - first image below), but otherwise it's a good figure. I hope he gets another one, maybe an Ultimate Edition figure in the Coliseum Collection line. I would like for Mattel to do an opened tux mold, other figures could benefit from it as well, mostly the Million Dollar Man. 




If he does get another figure, or even an UE figure, they need to get some more head sculpts for his different facial reactions:

I got brother love today.
I like it

I got Kama too and I like that one as well. Canceled my preorder on these that still was not fulfilled 🤨

[Crossfit Jesus]

Guys it’s just the lighting

I think it’s not red enough.

This figure is one of those that feels fine for someone like me who is only a casual fan (of this character, not WWE, so don't @ me). It's also one of those that feels like a bummer for die-hard fans who had been anticipating its release.

I only looked at the likeness and was impressed, even though I don't like Pritchard, and thought I'd pick it up.

I got mine a few days ago. And while there are a some things I'd have done differently, I like it. A lot.

For me it's disappointing he got a slot 🤣🤣
