I just received Elite 8 Regal and Edge. Both figures are fantastic and look great. Since the first pics of Edge were released there have been a lot of people saying that the scan was off, and when wearing the glasses that come with him he does look kinda silly. But I think this is one of the best scans that Mattel has done, and by far the best Edge scan.
They got the beard down, the hair color and mold is great too. All in all a superb and underated figure in my opinion.
Woo Woo Woo You Know It

The figure's great apart from the messed-up tattoo and the head. I'd be very surprised if that head was even scanned. It looks like something that was sculpted in the Jakks early TTL days.

I wasn't sure about the scan when seeing it in pictures but i like it alot more in person. I added some jakks sunglasses that came with Bad Blood Edge aswell, which look good on the scan.

The new Edge scan is absolutely terrible. Maybe one of the worst Mattel has done so far in my opinion. Also I don't know how in the world they messed up putting his Rise Above tattoo upside down.
I kind of wish I had waited to buy this figure especially since he's retiring. The figure is now useless to me since he won't be on the active roster.

I like it. I everyone should get it. It's gonna be his last WWE Elite. Of course he'll get a DM, maybe even a Legend.

I just got the figure, I think the hair is great but the face is pretty awful I think. The actual scaling of the nose is far off. |

Shouldn't this thread have a picture to keep it from getting locked?

Why is everyone bashing the head I thinks pretty sweet and its also something new, But that's me a huge Edge Head since 2000.He's The main reason I started watch wrestling and loved it ever since.
(Not a Poser like most that say he's there favorite because he retired)

Why do some people not understand that others won't agree with their opinions? Seriously man...this is about open discussion..and as for being a posuer, I've never really liked Edge's character or style but that doesn't mean I want to see him have to retire early. |

Just because you don't like something and state your opinion on it, does not mean it's bashing. Also, resize your signature please because it's far too big. |

I picked it up last Thursday night. The scan isn't the greatest, but I don't think it's all that bad. The only thing I hate about it is the jacket. It looks fantastic, but it's so hard to put on and take off. I don't know why the plastic is so stiff. I have Regal, Goldust, Undertaker, and all of them can be easily taken out of their entrance gear, but Edge's jacket is so stiff I don't want to put it back on for fear that it'll never come off again.

The only good thing about this figure are his tights. IMO Elite 1 Edge's headsculpt is still his best, elite or basic. My favorite Edge figure of all time by far. I kind of wish I had waited to buy this figure especially since he's retiring. The figure is now useless to me since he won't be on the active roster. No offense, but that's the dumbest thing I've read in the past week. What does him being on the active roster or not have to do with the figure, and how does that make his figs "useless"? By your logic, Legends and DM figures (besides Trips, although that figure is horrible) are all "useless". |

I have to agree that the nose is the most stand out problem with that head. It's way too big and when compared with his wrestlemania heritage figure (which is in my opinion his best head) it looks ridiculous.
I head swapped the heritage head with my elite 1, and if I didn't prefer that attire I'd have swapped it again with Elite 8.

By your logic, Legends and DM figures (besides Trips, although that figure is horrible) are all "useless". Na I think you just took it the wrong way. I meant it's now useless to me personally. I only collect the guys I like and I keep my current roster up to date. I think it looks weird if I have someone displayed in there that is actually not on the roster anymore. It's just a personal preference that's all. For example when Mickie & Shelton got released I sold the figures I had of them. Some people keep a "future endeavored" shelf but I don't really want to do that. |

Some people keep a "future endeavored" shelf but I don't really want to do that. I do the same but i have Legends on the right side of my active and on the left side i have JBL, Jericho, and Heeltista and Edge will go there after he resigns the belt. i had others like Carlito and what not but he just got put away in the basement. so i can see where you're coming from. gonna suck for us in a few weeks with roster cuts :/ |

I've got a special shelf for the "Legends" (SCSA, The Rock, HBK, Edge) and "Alumnis" (Batista, Matt Hardy) I got so it's not important to me if you own an inactive Superstar...
