I’m a simple man. Every time I see an HBK , I buy it.
That said, this may be one of his better figurines. We’ve had some questionable headscans in the past. But this one is not too bad. Could be better, but I don’t hate it. And we finally get knee pads! After so much time, HBK Elites finally have matching knee pads.
I also like the tights. There’s a subtle metallic feel to them. Not too obvious, but also just enough to make the figurine stand out.
That said, my biggest gripe here is the torso. No chest hair, and I think Mattel’s torso choice for HBK is the wrong one. HBK isn’t jacked; but I think something could be said about using a less than ideal torso.
That will definitely call for a fix-up…
Nitpicks aside, I’m super glad they rereleased this one. Never hurts to have one more HBK in the collection.
