Natalya looks great, glad I preordered her. I'll probably get Tatsu and Cena later.

A red attire sheamus wouldn't exactly fit the theme. When u think of Ireland....u think green. And when you think of Mexico you think.. Black?

After looking over again. 4 of these 6 are repaints. I think Mattel got lazy with these series. Theyve got the good stuff waiting for sdcc. At least im praying thats the reason for repaint after repaint. I pre ordered Tatsu, Wade, & Sheamus. But know im scared about the BP18's i pre ordered. Im sure my ziggler/ryder will be good? I hope.basice Wade- same scan from last basic Sheamus-Basic 7 w/E13 repaint scan and O on kp. REY and John - enough said. I like natty sure beth will be ok. In her 3rd figure. just think theirs so many other divas to make. CANT WAIT FOR SDCC!

i REALLY wanna get that Natalya figure!
hopin' that we get it in Canadian retail stores this time around. i STILL haven't seen it anywhere in the Toronto area. online, it's just too pricey for me to purchase.
otherwise, i can pass on the rest, to be honest.

Mysterio has Mexican heritage, but is, in fact, an American, born in Cali...that spot could have gone to Santino, Gabriel, Zeke, Drew, Khali, Del Rio, Sin Cara, Hunico (unmasked)....the list can go on and on.

I'll get Yoshi and Nattie if I can find them at retail, but that probably won't happen.

Not a bad set, just not one I'm personally very interested in.
Wade is nice in a color not black. Probably won't be a big seller, but at least it stands out from the rest of them.
The great thing about Cena's camo gear was that he wore many different styles. With his jean shorts, the options were light blue or dark blue. With the camo, they can do pretty much anything with it to make them all a little different.
It's Sheamus' first Basic-style figure of the year, and the first repaint of his E13 scan (which was very red, whereas this one is a more accurate red-orange). Not sure what people were expecting - he wore this attire up until Royal Rumble at the end of Jan.
Yoshi is cool. Definitely thought we'd never see another figure of his again. And it's in his half-facepaint attire that didn't really make it to tv very much.
Really like Nattie, but I like B9 Nattie more due to the Hart Dynasty colors. Very cool to see her spikes on a Basic figure.
Rey would actually be pretty good if it weren't for two things: that headscan is awkward and small as hell, and the all black gear with dark gray designs is neat, but in a set about nationalities, why isn't he wearing Mexico-themed gear instead? Just not that appealing, and Reys aren't selling like they used to on top of that.
Overall, not too bad. They probably should've done the flag graphics differently so it doesn't look like Cena is repping France though, lol.

i would really like the Yoshi as an elite. than it could've had his lil vest jacket and a removeable mask. I'm not even sure his half-face paint gimmick ever made it on TV. I remember hearing about it and having to actually watch NXT on the wwe site, just to see it. So thats a plus if Mattel is willing to do obscure stuff like that

This is a really cool idea for a set and I think it was executed quite well.

Decent wave, Yoshi and Natty are the standout figures for me. Also think that's the best Rey to come along in a while; the body is much more suited to him, but is the headscan new? Don't recall seeing it before. Looks great. Cool attire, too.
Anybody find it funny that, rather than use a recognisable part of the actual flags under 'Global Superstars', they just use the colour scheme on a generic striped flag? So the UK and USA both get the French flag, and Japan gets an inverted Canadian one.

Natalya and Wade rock but i am disappointed with Sheamus. I assumed he'd be in his red and black attire. Wish I knew before I pre-ordered, but oh well. Pretty nice set, all things considered.

Sheamus, Barrett, and Yoshi for me out of this set. That Yoshi looks amazing.
