I picked it up a while ago and I like it quite a bit, actually. I think it's an awesome MOC display piece and that all of the entrance gear is excellently molded and detailed. I also think that it beats the Jakks attempt -- while cloth/soft goods can spice up a figure and make it more appealing to the average consumer, I think overall it was a fluff attempt. Great idea, not so awesome execution. With Mattel making removable entrance gear from plastic, they're able to achieve that realism. It's very appropriate that they spent the amount of effort on the gear that they did, seeing as this was to meant to emulate his look from that particular Wrestlemania. That being said, from what I can see the figure itself is also well done, including boot logos and finger tape -- all necessary details. I also like the inclusion of the short entrance theme clip, which is not necessarily needed but appreciated.
It's up to you overall but I'd keep it.

I think Entrance Greats is an awesome line. $20 is a bit steep, but I would pay it for the right figure. However, Rey and HHH are not 2 guys that I have any interest in paying $20 for. HBK......that I would pay $20 for. But I am gonna stick with some of my favorites at that price tag.

It's an interesting novelty and I'm impressed that Mattel has put so much effort into the detail....BUT for like $21 and it being something he only wore once and will hopefully NEVER wear again, it's not worth picking up in MY opinion.
They could have given us Edge or Undertaker in actual leather coats instead of those hard plastic shells in the Elite Series, or at least something that a wrestler wears to the ring for EVERY match (almost every match for Edge, he was wearing mostly T-Shirts at the time of his injury, but still).

I just think they need to give us a hollow base and not one that plays a theme I already have on my Ipod. That should cut costs a little bit. And the only reason I bought those figures was because they were the first Mattel I found.

Not me I was planning on preordering them both (HHH & HBK) on NYE until Trevor said HBK wasn't in the initial shipments and would be out until Feb/Mar. So I just preordered the Trips and then picked up another on Jan first at my local TRU. He was the figure I wanted most followed by the HBK. And I picked two of him up Wednesday.

For those that own it, how is the sound quality on those base things? Does it play the whole song, or just a low quality snip of it?
I love the concept behind these figures, but they may want to consider dropping the music stands to make the price more appealing to a broader audience.

Low quality snip, IMO its pretty pointless having the music on there.

I figured it'd be that way. I sincerely hope they consider cutting out that aspect and lowering the price a few dollars.

Actually, the addition of the music doesn't really add to the cost. With these figures, it's all the soft goods that are contributing most of the extra cost. The sound was probably tossed in to make them more enticing, without driving up the cost further. Not really fair that figures like Mysterio, who don't have all those soft goods, are the same price, but such is the way of things. I like HHH quite a bit, actually. I rarely leave things MOC, but it's such a nice display piece in the package, with the pyro going off behind him and everything, that I wound up putting him back in the package, and I display him that way. The entrance greats line is a great idea, I hope they keep 'em coming for a long time. I'd like 'em to be cheaper, but $20 for these beats the hell out of paying $15 for those lousy unmatched Fury plastic statues that Jakks was so fond of. Those things were a total rip.

The song playing from the display base should be the "King of Kings" theme he used at WM22, that would be sick. If only there was a way to upload your own music into the display base...
