Man, that Elite Cody is just...awful. It's like they only had the lower half ready, and slapped whatever spare parts that happened to be on hand to make up the rest of him for the display. Since when is Cody that huge?
Jericho looks nice. I'm not so sure about the head yet, but it's a nice change of pace from what I can see.
E19 looks like such a great set. I don't see that one lasting long before hitting the back-order list, and eventually just being sold out in general for awhile.
I'm actually very happy to see molded shirts make their big debut. I thought we had seen the last of them after Dreamer left. As long as Mattel keeps them as store exclusives, and doesn't get too crazy with shoving them in other Basic lines as filler, I can see them being a good addition to the entire line. I definitely want to get a couple to do projects with.
I really like the look of that Cesaro head, but it doesn't resemble him at all. I simply think it'll be a scan I can put to use elsewhere.
That Basic Cody looks nice. For the life of me, I don't know why Mattel isn't using that head for the Elite version.
Those Basic Heritage (or whatever they're called) figures look great. I gotta agree with Nivro though, as it's a shame Macho has gotten 2 great attires in Basic form, and we likely won't ever see an Elite counterpart.
The Epico/Primo set is great. I want to get them for the heads. Same thing for Hawkins. Great scans on those.

Some really cool stuff here. Not to be a nitpicker and I don't buy many current figures anyway, but the molded shirt thing is not for me. It reminds me of Jakks and I always used to dislike when they released a figure in wrestling attire with a molded, non-removable shirt. I think wrestling attire should be for wrestling and street attire should be for street attired figures. With elites that feature a removable shirt it's okay, but you never really see a wrestler (that often) wrestle with trunks and a t-shirt the entire time. As I said, I don't buy money "current era" figures so this doesn't effect me, but I thought I'd comment.
Being the diehard HBK fan I am, I'm stoked to see the E19 HBK. The figure is not perfect, but it's pretty frickin' awesome. 1997 is my favorite year of HBK's career and I've been wanting an HBK from this era since Mattel began producing WWE figures. It's nice to finally have it in Elite form w/ entrance attire, a belt and a kick-ass pair of tights.
There are a few imperfections with the figure, but I have noticed that HBK figures seem to alwas have some errors since his attires are so detailed and varied. To nitpick, the hearts on this figure feature a dark silver and a light silver color. The coloring is inaccurate because his Badd Blood attire featured the color combination of silver and WHITE on the hearts, not two shades of silver. However, the hearts look great and neat and it isn't a huge deal that the color scheme isn't fully accurate. Also, the knees do look a bit thin without kneepads. Even JAKKS only made one 90's era HBK with kneepads (the WM14 w/ Austin pack) and I wish this figure had kneepads, but again, the figure still looks great. The entrance attire looks great and even though it's missing the chaps, I don't mind so much because I don't place much importance on entrance attire with figures, even when it comes to Elites. I love the articulation and the figure is pretty epic. To me, the scan looks great and accurate and the attire is a great selection from a historic match that looks overall pretty sweet. I can't wait to pre-order this.
Also, I love the Flashback Christian and the inverted Kane too, but shouldn't Kanes mask match his attire? Did he ever wear inverted tights with a non-inverted mask? Someone refresh my memory on that one.

If Jericho's jacket could light up, I'd be extremely impressed and never complain about anything again.

Eve looks like a fem hhh.
I hope elites eventually get molded shirts. Then the accessories can be weapons (not mics)

Thanks for the pics they're great! Would have loved the Elite 20 Cody to have smaller kneepads and the smiling head scan but it is only a proto , maybe it will change (hopefully) lets start a petition its not fair that the Basic looks better. I can only handle that silly hair strand scan because my Elite 13 always has the mask on Yeah man you're right, that scan worked well for the E13 elite but this new e20 would look incredible with a change of scan and smaller knee pads, that smiling scan resembles him a lot I think

Some thoughts. Feed me some money so I can go get that Ryback figure! That figure is beastly, and I don't even like basics!
I like the shirt figures, but I don't like basic figures, and I'd rather have a cloth shirt. That said, I'd rather have those painted/molded shirts than any rubber shirt like the ones they have been including lately. But if I see that Dolph, I am getting it. The pink looks really nice, and I have to get most Dolphs!
Elite christian looks amazing! I picked up the Edge with the hope that a matching Christian would come in down the line, and low and behold, there it is! A perfect combination!
I cannot believe that we are getting that HBK.That is easily the best HBK Mattel has made thus far, destroying any previous versions. I am almost positive that figure will become incredibly hard to find though.
New elite Kane looks weak. I don't like new attire outside of the mask. The mask is alright, but it will be an easy pass for me.
That elite Dolph might be one of my favorite figures ever. I love his new headscan, I love the fact that they gave him the John Morrison arms, I love his pink attire, and his jacket appears to have a lot of detail. If I see two, I'll get two. I need to replace my elite 13 Dolph because he is broken, and this is an incredible upgrade.
We have already seen elite 18, but Brodus and King are the only figures I am interested in. ABA Taker still looks really terrible, which is unfortunate.
Elite Brock looks phenomenal. I can't believe how good they were able to make that figure.
I want that Austin for the two belts. The figure is good, but not much different legends series one with the exception of the head and color of his vest.
Honkey Tonk Man!!!!!!!!!
A pretty good Ringside Fest with some nice revelations. I am definitely satisfied. My new favorite figure is definitely that Elite 19 Dolph Ziggler.

I love the Kane, always been one of my favourite Kane attires but they should have changed the mask.
