Thank you for the pictures! Man I'm tempted to buy all the new battle packs, by far my favorite set of battle packs

AJ looks good, I like the new torso. Jeans could be better but I. Am sure there will be another AJ on its way soon. Just about to pull the trigger for $55......december is a long ways away though.

thanks for those Bran ;p I do like most of them tbh, I dont get why Undertaker looks bald though lol may pick up Brodus Clay, the rest are easy passes for me as they're not wrestlers I really like.
AJ Looks awesome, the angling of her body in the pic makes her look a bit dodgy and they could have done the laces a bit better even if it is a proto. A new CM Punk headcan too I see
gotta say this is probably the strongest set I've seen in a while from mattel, none of my personal taste but certainly something that caters for everyone!

The more I look at the AJ figure, the more I am baffled by Mattel's construction of it.
They go through the trouble and expense of making all these new parts, but they still get it wrong. Of course the final product could look better, but until then.
- The head/scan looks great, not complaints - The new torso mold looks great as well and is probably an indication that we will get a few more AJ figures in the future. - The new 'ripped' abdominal mold. It's too long and can't be used for any other Divas, other than maybe Alicia Fox. It's creation seems unnecessary. - The new boots. Look good, but also seem a little too tall for AJ. It's hard to tell though. - Necklace and bracelets. Nice accessories.
I fully understand that doing "plaid" would have been too costly as it was explained to us by the MDT. However, I wonder if that 'cost' was after they factored in the expense of all the new, some unnecessary, molds. Even so, I imagine most of us would have preferred a 'non plaid' version of her ring gear over what we are getting. I don't see how that would have been more expensive to produce. Even with all this said, I'm happy we are getting an AJ figure I will surely be getting a few of them. "A few of a figure you don't really seem to like", you ask? Well, I have fix it don't I?

AJ is SOOOO perfect. Super pumped I pre-ordered it. It'll work perfectly with my street gear Kaitlyn.
I'll buy Punk if I find him at retail, but definitely not kicking myself for not pre-ordering more of that set.

Good stuff but to be honest I just want Taker and the Primo and Epico set. Love the wooden pallet accessory and the new scan for punk.

The only ones I have coming are Cena/Kane. I plan to order Primo/Epico once the paychecks from my new job start rolling in. That being said, I'll definitely pick up Clay, Lawler, AJ and maybe that Sheamus as I like him a lot better as a Basic for some reason, if I see them at retail or if my lady buys them for me for Christmas.

That Lawler figures head sculpt still just doesn't seem right..... The heads too long and thin....and I think it needed more creases/rinkels...

Oh man, I LOVE that Daniel Bryan attire. I believe it's based on his Royal Rumble gear? It's a really nice attire, and as a bonus, that abdominal tape will be perfect for '97-98 DDP!
With AJ, I realize her normal wrestling gear is expensive due to all the pinstripe lines, but that attire...if there was ever an appropriate time to do a wash for jeans, this was it. This is one of the few areas Jakks nailed Mattel at.
Elite 18 is pretty good. And hey, Sin Cara busted out this attire this past Monday, so it doesn't seem quite as outdated as it was going to.

I like the Kane/Cena pack. Elite 18 is awesome! Basic 24 is halfway decent.

that new punk scan is great but the beard should be dark brown not jet black the hair i'm fine with but it would be dark dark brown too to keep the costs down. the jet black is still too steve blackman-y for me. punk has dark brown hair. black when it's slicked back, but the beard is never jet black

AJ, Primo and Epico are the only ones that look good to me. I'll definitely be picking them up.
