Mattel color issues (GOLD edition)

[Deleted]

It's a shame there weren't any pics of HBK taken at WM 14 and Mattel had to rely on their grade A photoshop skills.

[Back to the Codyverse]

Lol they even photoshopped the tights onto the chaps

Mattel has problems with colors, particularly gold. I remember the first Sin Cara being almost a dull color, then corrected to the right shade of gold. Eddie's boots have either been dull, orange or some other random color. I think they got a nice gold color with the Hall of Fame figure. Then it wasn't used again. Goldust for whatever reason also had a cheap dull color color instead of a nice deep gold. I think it's more than likely a cost cutting measure. It really sucks when it's a figure you really anticipate and you only have one go at it. Just look at these.

You'll never forget the name Dulldust.

I'm surprised to see that you guys don't like that WM33 Rollins or E47.5 Goldust. THAT is the shade of gold I fully expect. I get they can't budget for a figure to be fully deco'ed in bright, shiny gold. I am totally fine with the dull finish BUT a true GOLD color.

I think even that gold color is 100x better than the UE Cody or this piece of crap Razor figure.

Who is making decisions? Who approved these? We get skirted blame or no answer at all.

There is no excuse for salmon colored Bret

ℍ𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝕋𝕠 𝕂𝕚𝕝𝕝 I would of been fine with a brighter metallic yellowish tone or pearlescent yellow for that Rollins. Even a flat yellow gold tone would of been fine. There's just no excuse for the gold tone to be that dark when it's a much brighter one. It looks like the plastic used on dollar store toys. Matter of fact, I think the gold used on Cody would of suited this Rollins better. That Hogan irks me a bit because you could also see that the OG UE NWO Hogan has the right lightning bolts. How can they go backwards? One quick Google search and you could see good references. Why'd they come up with those thick lightning bolts with baby blue outlines is confusing imo.

Crossfit Jesus You damn right there isn't. Any of the pink tones used for previous Brets would of been fine imo. This was just super random and sucks because it's probably the only WCW pink tights Bret we're getting.

Mattel have a lot more issues lately with accuracy, more than usual, with colors, body sizes, ring attires, even belt sizes, and the figures cost more than ever. It’s BS

I’m not paying $34 for an Eddie Guerrero the size of Thanos with an inaccurate shirt and belt that doesn’t fit. I’m not buying a puke green Razor Ramon that’s supposed to be gold. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a Wrestlemania 28 Rock to be in his actual Wrestlemania 28 trunks.

I’m sitting here with a $55 Cody that I’ve never even removed from the shipping box because I know the figure inside is complete ass with mistakes head to toe

I don’t expect import quality but this is getting ridiculous. So many good figures being ruined by a colorblind design team. I don’t care who it is, Bill is the only guy whose name we know, of course he gets a lot of blame because of that. Regardless, someone or several people on the design team are making awful choices and something should be done to correct it.

I’d have been fine with that gold as well but Jazwares made the right gold on their Cody figures and they’re a rinky dink sweatshop compared to Mattel

[Controversial Maverick PUNK]

Yeah, they photoshop the box art, to match whatever mistakes/botches they've made on the figure - it's nothing new.

[TheXtremisT]

They do this so frequently with figures, it's just cringeworthy.

Ken Shamrock in blue and red had the wrong shades, Harlem Heat too.

Instantly drawn to the short lower legs and the "tights" that hang baggy and tuck into his kickpads. Clearly they just photoshopped over his chaps and had to get his feet in the frame so they either on purpose or mistakenly shopped in booted lower legs that were too short.

Just saw this video (thanks to CL@cldbld), at the 1-hour mark he mentions that they fixed the gold on Razor's vest.

**dies laughing** Those two lines are gold. I can't even. That's 100% how I felt about both figs. XD XD XD

What I find even more astonishing is that they have an approval meeting and yet we’ve still gotten all these bad figures. Lol

Don’t forget that new top picks Cody that should have grey tights but has metallic blue tights

One of very few times that Billy Bob's inaccuracies worked out, imo.

I seriously think everyone is over-reacting about the Hollywood Hogan. It looks great to me.

What are the complaints about it? (looks good to me too)

belt on the tights doesn't match what its supposed to be for a 60 to 70 dollar set it should be accurate if it can't be accurate than don't release that version

yeah I like the color too

[PJ]

Clearly it’s not Mattel’s issues it’s OURS we are the one’s complaining about the colors of attires not them. Mattel’s more than happy to release the figures in the colors shades they choose. No issues for the at all.

PJ, no matter what shade of light I hold your post up to, it's still WRONG!😁
