I've asked about the resizing of hand molds on numerous occasions and MDT never answers. Last time I asked in the AFA thread it got deleted. MDT has nothing to do with Mattel, might be why he can't answer your requests. 🤣 Lmao he’s not talking about MyDamnToys MattelDesignTeam |

So is the Piper hair style from 1999? Box art says 1997. Wasn’t his 97 hair longer/different style? I could be wrong as I always picked WWF over WCW, but I thought the hair on the sculpts looked more like 99 era |

MDT is what Bill is frequently referred to. He’s saying Bill has nothing to do with the AFA thread. That’s all Steve. Lots of design oriented questions won’t be answered… as Steve doesn’t deal with design. |

Those Hitman headscans... Yikes!
You'd think with 3D computer scanning technology Mattel could do a much better job.
There's gotta be kids out there in a middle school art class that could do a better sculpt.

So I hope this means with all the hate you guys are having on these that I will actually be able to find a set at a local WalMart. When the scalpers smell blood? NOT BLOODY LIKELY 🤣 |

NOT BLOODY LIKELY 🤣 The scalpers are gonna smell blood and find out it's ketchup just like the people still trying to sell Toxic Attraction figures on secondary for 40 bucks each. But that initial rush will be great for them. |

Looking at almost every toy line, the quality of its plastic and materials and even the packaging itaelf has degraded infinitely. In this sense it doesnt shock me to see that the likeness of these figures is worse too. The technology has improved but the timelines and speed at which these figures are put out is hurting the quality. Than there is the question of quality control... some things are judged by the eye of the beholder. Unfortunately unlike video games in beta stage, none of us can give our input before something is finalized. Mattel should let the biggest personalities on youtube in on their new line more often so they can give their 2 cents even if anonymously. With as many figures like figheel opens, he surely must be a good judge of character on what will be widely accepted or rejected. Missed opportunity. Well i have 2 brets alreDy i am happy with so this new one isnt necessary.

Well i have 2 brets alreDy i am happy with so this new one isnt necessary. I dunno, I'm a casual collector of Marvel Legends and I think they're still doing pretty well. I mean, the packaging switch was a horrible idea, absolute linekiller, glad they are getting rid of that, but I'm really digging some of the stuff they're putting out right now. But as far as Mattel WWE goes, yeah. It's gone downhill fast and, more than that, it's snowballing. Ok, full disclosure, I buy almost all my figures from Ringside because I can't afford to buy them anywhere else. Most figure etailers don't let you do installment plans like Pay In 4, and with my limited budget, and lack of access to retail stores, Ringside is all I have usually. But if you take ringside out of the equation... I don't know how much of this is that the price point still isn't matching the cost. Everything, and I do mean everything, from the cost of the plastic to the cost to transport goods, has risen. But somehow, the price of the figures has remained fairly constant. The retail price point of basics, compared to 5 years ago, is only what, four dollars higher? At most? But if you look at everything else around us, the price of a McChicken has gone up nearly 300% in that same time. So sadly, something has to give. Either you lower the quality of the figures, or you raise the price. They just massively increased the quality of the basics. How much you want to bet the price goes up too? Nothing happens in a vacuum. If they are going to allot the same amount of budget for these figures as they did before, in order to keep the price fairly constant, then the quality of the figures will go down. Just how the economy works. It isn't like Mattel is making a ton of profit as it is. |

I'm usually more forgiving than most when it comes to faces but holy moly those Bret faces are honestly embarrassing. Completely unusable with no glasses, *barely* useable with the glasses. Completely massacred what should be a really great figure.
