The way how Rock appears in the pack, it was the begining of his heel run when he joined the Nation Of Domination on Raw. He had just came back from injury upon this time when he and Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Triple H were starting to evolve to being top guys. That's also why Rock doesn't have the brahma bull tattoo. All three figures are era correct.
The rock figure is from his time as the nation leader I think (I could be wrong) that rock figure is from the promo he did with Chyna and the nation had Chyna on her knees
That's not the case, that was before Summerslam 1998. This figure is straight after his first heel turn in August 1997 after he joined the Nation of Domination.
I agree about The Rock’s giant coverup Bull tattoo. I’m heavily tattooed myself, and appreciate large pieces but to coverup such an iconic tattoo was a mistake. He could have easily worked some great designs around that original one, and it would’ve probably looked amazing. Ah well..
Can't confirm if the tattoo thing is accurate or not. I've found photos of him in the attire here on the figure, but you can't tell because of the shirt. There are also photos of him wearing what looks like the same pants, belt, bracelet, chain, glasses etc minus the shirt. He DOES have the tattoo in those photos, possibly same photoshoot? Anyway nice review as always, I got mine yesterday in the mail surprisingly and in perfect shape. Probably gonna keep it in the box, now let's get a fannypack Rock with the correct hair to match!
@@AlexWestCollects me too! Also another better (ideally ultimate) corporate rock that has the loafers and all the jewelry accessories with the $500 shirt
@@AlexWestCollects he actually wore the same outfit again on 6/22/1998 edition of Raw (taped on 6/16/1998), and by that time he obviously had the tattoo, but I think this figure, being a legacy figure, is based on the earlier 8/17/1997 promo since he explicitly spoke about his legacy in it
11:19 Weeks before joining the Nation, he did an interview wearing this shirt but he didn't have the long sideburns. At that time he didn't have the tattoo. There's also 1998 promotional pictures of The Rock in this outfit with the long sideburns. At that time he would've had the tattoo. In the promo pics he also had the round Intercontinental Championship and was raising the eyebrow.
@@AlexWestCollects I believe it's part of the same 1998 promo pic set. It's also on a card; 1998 WWF Cardinal Trivia Game Card Series 2 #21 Rocky Maivia.

Begging???
Thanks for the correction shout out, i appreciate you!
He was the intercontinental champion with the nation. It was the promo when the nation was holding Chyna. Shawn michaels is on commentary
It’s actually not, He wore this outfit on August 17, 1997.

@@mattpyro90 he wore this outfit twice: Superstars 8/17/1997 (before tattoo) & Raw 6/22/1998 (after tattoo)
@@danielkakishAugust 17 1997 doesn’t exist.
@@HonoraryTribalChief yes it does. It’s called WWF Superstars and it was on August 17, 1997

He wore this outfit on August 17, 1997. He got the Brahma Bull tattoo about 2 months later
I would love Fanny pack rock

I feel like I’ve seen a promo pic of him with the tan shorts and no shirt and he has the tat

GREAT MAN 4 THE TIME'S!!! THANK YOU!!!!❤😂🙏🫶👍❤️
Where did you get the WWE cloth turn buckles for the ring?
It's probably a wwe full scale ring.
Got theses in the mail last week thank you for the video because I keep everything in its package.. yeah they messed up with the rock no tattoo 😂😂😂

10:52 A little nitpick. Why isn't the middle belt loop painted? That loop is on the belt strap and should be the same color as the belt.
Smirk face sucks. Should've used the amazon angry face they have never re use it, only the over size head of Mattel 100...
1998 with the IC title
That’s a cool set.
I think the first skin tone is more accurate. He was dark skinned and not brown skinned.
I'm wondering if they honestly just forgot/cut the tattoo figuring he'd only be displayed with the shirt on.
This is him when he returned from injury, the summer of 1997, early Nation of Domination. He didn't have the tattoo yet
The rock does not have a tattoo because he’s the old version
lol jhorts = Jean shorts…. You can’t go calling everything jhorts bruh 😅
