This set looks like a dud to me. The finished products just don't capture the promise that the protos had.
Christians head scan is nowhere NEAR as good as it looked when we originally saw it. The way they painted it in the final product makes it lose a lot of that realism we saw at SDCC.
Mattel continues to not be able to nail Zack Ryder's scan, and the hair color makes it look worse.
Booker T has no wrist tape....why?
Mark Henry, Chris Jericho, and John Cena are simple repaints.
It's a shame, because Mattel does such good work, but the way they paint the faces makes them look unrealistic when we've seen how good the scans really are when people on here customize them and repaint them properly.
Oh well.

I will pick up Book at retail just because his attire is close to Harlem heat attire. The rest is a significant pass.
I can count on less than 10 fingers the number of new figures I want, starting with elite 16 to whatever else has been announced. My collection is slowing, and my wife is probably happy, but it disappoints me there isn't more for the "legends" collectors.

Booker's had that tattoo for a while now. It's just not that dark n real life. And someone pointed out in the official B22 in stock thread he wore this attire at the last Royal Rumble without wrist/hand tape or gloves. So it is correct.

Oh well. I'm not really sure but I vaguely remember booker in a match late last year or early this year without gloves or tape...EDIT: P.J. just confirmed it. It was at the royal "bumble" lol Also does the elite booker have that back tat? |

Yeah, he did have ONE match without the tape...but who knows if he'll ever do that again, or even ever have a match again. So to base this figure off that ONE very obscure attire....remember, doing stuff like this is what caused the Legends line to die. Mattel should be focusing on the best attires and not trying to be unique and obscure. The King Booker Elite does NOT have the tattoo because it is based on him from 2006. He got the tattoo after he left WWE. |

No Elite 14 doesn't have it...but I don't think he had it yet when he first became King Booker.
Whoops! Just corrected that to Rumble. lol

I agree this is a dude set much like I felt basic 17 was a dud set which the entire set is warming my walmarts pegs. I feel this one will do the same. First couple shipments to the stores I'm sure booker will sell well much like Ryder from 17 but after about 3 or 4 shipments it will warm I bet. Just my opinion

Christian's scan look ayt but not as cool as the SDCC. But I think it looked so cool back then because the proto was shown at a certain angle. The prototype was taken at a dark angle so it made the figure look sharper.

I like this set, but Mattel cheaped out using the old Jericho scan. New one please.

I also said it before and I will say it again, Jericho needs an updated headscan badly!
Will be getting Ryder, Booker and Christian, and most likely Jericho as well.

Not too bad of a set. I think this Christian is still the best yet.
