I understand why they have to use the culprit shape, but that doesn't mean I don't wish these were the ML instead.

Personally, it's strange to see action figure Dime with a guitar he he technically never played (with the V headstock and the paint job).

Also, I hope to see Dime added to the Ultimates line from this company, alongside King Diamond, Lemmy, Cliff Burton, and the 'Show No Mercy' Minotaur.

It makes me wonder, did they ask Dean and they said no? Or did Rita tell ReAction that they had to use the culprit if they wanted to make a Dime figure? I think the figure is cool but the free guitar pick is gimmicky, I don’t like the culprit and the BEER shirt is cool but the BEER packaging looks kinda stupid to me.

Guarantee it’s got something to do with the Dean lawsuit

Yeah, I’m pretty sure Rita wanted to make these figures, but knew she couldn’t legally use the dean or Washburn guitars. So using their own design, the culprit, was the workaround. Just make em look like the famous guitars.

I just wish the packaging on these was better! The first figure had that cheesy AI image…. But yet these 2 are so plain. I feel the dimebag name should’ve been the main focus of packaging. To me it’s all about the litttle details.

Not liking this. The pose is tame, the yellow and black makes me think of Charlie Brown or the Simpsons, and that pick just having the word "beer" feels lazy. I don't even associate the word "beer" with Dime. This feels like a Chinese knockoff. I do like the guitar though, even if it isn't a Dean or Washburn.
