Amazing effort by Mattel, I applaud and thank them for all the greatness that is going to be coming out. The wait was well worth it for Elite Ryder with 1 legged outfit in orange/blue/purple. Also have waited forever for the Kofi halfblack/halfyellow outfit. Dibiase in green/purple, Nexus, Miz with the coat, Texas Tornado, DM Dragon, etc. OMG!

When did Texas Tornado wear that attire? I'm too lazy to actually look it up haha. Summerslam 1991. ] Wow that music is awesome, such a brilliant event. And I hope for a future Jomo in this attire: I always liked it for some reason. I'm also surprised at the negativity towards the DM HHH, ok the headscan could be better but can be swapped if needed and (to me) would make a passable Robert Roode head, the pants while slightly baggy dont exactly ruin the figure (no complaints about Christian old baggy pant and Kofis new giant air gliders) and the Mattel team said the baggyness is so you can remove them and therefore have 2 figures in 1.

Is it me, or does it look like Mattel reused one of Jakks' Eddie scans? it looks really similar to one of his old RA scans....good fig nonetheless..The upcoming Elite Morrison looks good....definitely getting that

I'd prefer a good "Raw return" figure than a good Royal Rumble figure with a funny-looking Raw return outfit over the top. I wasn't a huge fan of the Christian and Kofi pants either, but at least their entrance outfits are (/were) really baggy in real life. I think they should stay away from making fabric pants on figures until they figure out how to do it right. Those things on Triple H don't even look like jeans -- and that's not just down to how oversized they are, it's the colour and fabric used.

I hope they change Young's skin tone. I don't remember him being that white.

I love Mattel!
Going to buy both Steamboat & Hunter (DM) Though Triple H's pants aren't great I do like the scan & I'll happily pose him in his tights.
Said it earlier & I'll say it again, Warrior is just amazing! Can't wait to own Kevin & Kerry.
I gonna end up buying some Elites just for the colored belts. Cause I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it come to my collection.
Love how good Mattel did on the Nexus. Loving the Daniel Bryan figures. The new Big Show is great. New Ziggler looks great also. Edge & Orton two pack is a must own.
But my favorite is the new (basic 10) Triple H scan.

I'm an Ultimate Warrior fan, and so I only collect UW figures. Therefore, my comments will be based only on the WM6 Warrior figure So far, I think Mattel have done a GREAT job on Warrior figures -- the Legends 4 figure, although simple, was really cool, and the DM2 Warrior is probably the best Mattel figure to date -- superb detail (although there were missed details such as the black strands of arm and boot tassel, and the wristbands seemed totally wrong -- but still, great figure). Regarding the figure below... First of all, I applaud Mattel for creating a new scan for UW -- one criticism of the previous 2 UW figures was that the scans had something of a neutral expression ( not something that one would usually associate with UW). This new scan is definitely a step in the right direction! Therefore, kudos to Mattel I may be wrong about this (I'll have to check my WM6 DVD to confirm), but I think the facepaint colours are not totally accurate here. Mattel have shown superior attention to detail until now, and therefore it would be a shame if they made mistakes on something like that. Also, the photo seems to show a winged eagle heavyweight title with a yellow strap... everyone who's watched the match knows that it's the intercontinental title that had the yellow strap! Therefore, I really hope that Mattel correct that -- the Jakks Classic Series 1 UW figure would have been even better if Jakks had put in the correct belt (they used the attitude era belt)... and seeing as Mattel are one step ahead, I'd hope that they don't needlessly put in an inaccurate belt also. And finally, my opinion about the chest paint -- I'm not too big a fan of the duplicated design on the abdominal section of the figure. It just looks somewhat off, and it may make people who see it for the first time wonder if they've got double vision. I really think they should just do it the way Jakks did the chest paint design on the 1/20 'marble statue' Ultimate Warrior exclusive (from all the Jakks Warrior figures I have, the 'marble statue' exclusive is my favourite!) -- that figure also had deluxe/elite articulation. It's great to see a WM6 figure, because like the Summerslam 89 figure, it was definitely a high point of UW's career. The next time I get in contact with Warrior, I hope to buy some signed Mattel figures from him! God bless.

Quick Update. I meant Legends 6 not 5. And Eddie did have Orange boots at No Way Out 2004, the event the outfit is based on. I did a double take as well when I saw it too but it is correct. Well I'll be.... you're right. I completely never remember him wearing orange boots, but the night he won the belt he certainly did. I apologize for ever doubting you guys

I really like the figure and will definitely buy it, but the colors do look a little off. It looks like it was based off of the All Stars game box art and not the 'real life' match. They are similar, yet different. Well I'll be.... you're right. I completely never remember him wearing orange boots, but the night he won the belt he certainly did. I apologize for ever doubting you guys I still don't see it. Do you have a good picture? at the 31 sec mark.

Do you reckon they may be saving it as a surprise having the Elite Kane come with a World Heavyweight title? I just find it odd that he's pictured with the WWE title especially since we saw that leaked proto of the WHC a while ago. Still blown away by all these new figures, cannot wait

Everyone worried about the DM HHH scan, don't worry. In person it looks awesome.

I'm not worried about it. I like both new Triple H scans along with Orton's & the new Morrison. My only complaint wit hthe DM Trips is the cloth jeans. I'd much rather have the molded jeans as I planned on displaying him with the jacket on...so the molded jeans would have been better. Now I'll need to buy two each of Trips and Austin for a head swap. Of course I planned on buying at least two of the Trips anyway. lol I still don't see it. Do you have a good picture? at the 31 sec mark. I don't think you can tell from those two pics/vid because they are in the shadow/dark so the colors would look different.

Now, pretty much all figures with the exception of DM Triple H are fantastic, but for some reason I'm blown away by that Luke Gallows figure. I had no intention of ever picking up the two-pack with Punk since his release, but I think I actually have use for his Elite figure. It looks great.

Wow...I'm blown away. ALL the original Nexus, awesome new Orton scan, new belts....what a showing on Mattel's part. And they said ToyFair wasn't going to be their main showing, Comic Con was. Well if that's the case then I think we are in for a big treat come July.
Now I just wish they would have had lineups for some of the basics so I can figure out when each figure is set to come out. Because I would much rather have guys like Bryan & Barrett in their current look than the NXT attires. But if they are not going to be out until summer or something then I'll have probably end up getting both. But I might anyway if I decided to do a Rookie/Pro display when I rearrange my collection. But it would be nice to know when some of these are due out.
As far as the Legends and DM figures I must say....I'm VERY impressed with the Legends. Will be getting all the Legends figs for sure. But right now the only DM figure I'm planning on getting is Steamboat. The figure is PERFECT. Could care less about the Austin and something just doesn't look right about Taker. As far as Triple H goes I'm not really digging the scan right now but if it looks better in person then I might have to pick it up.
But overall I'm really impressed with what Mattel has showed and can not wait for most of this stuff to hit retail.
