Interesting set. Odd having no Rey, Cena, or Orton figures...Can't frggin wait for The Shield, though tbh I'd rather see X-Pac or NAO Flashbacks than Bruno.

Lineup is legit. Roman was deliberately left out of this wave, as at retail having 3 similar, rather austere looking figures on the shelves would not give retailers the variety they want in assortments. However delaying him a wave compared to the other two does give us time to develop the new right arm sleeve tattoo art, so there is an upside to not getting all the Shield in one fell swoop. Sammartino was added even before the Hall of Fame announcement. Needless to say we were thrilled when he was announced as part of the 2013 Hall of Fame class, and last month I was lucky enough to attend the ceremony. The Sin Cara figure will be sick... Thanks Bill Thanks for the input. You guys have been knocking everything out of the park as of late!

surprised no Xpac or New Age Outlaws. We know we're getting them...but i thought it would be this year Bruno should be cool. Pretty pumped for the Shield. Sin Cara will be cool if its the Half Rey attire. nobody wants another Sheamus. My only exception would be his white/4 leaf clover attire. But i'm sure it will be the black/lime green thing he wears now. The only acceptable Brodus for me would be his USA flag attire.

since, I'm pretty sure elite 25 is the last series of 2013.
I'm noticing we're getting one less flashback than we did last year. 2012 had 13 fbs.
2013 Christian Honky Tonk Man Cactus Jack The Giant Hardcore Kane Macho Man JBL The Undertaker Triple H Trish Stratus Bruno Sammartino
thats 11. Plus u have to add in the Ringside Fest RSC figure, which will most certainly be a fb as well. So 12.

Will definitely be getting Ambrose and Rollins.
Hope Sin Cara is in green or pink and hope Brodus is in white.
Don't much care for Bruno or Sheamus.

Whoah... did I miss the announcement of Elite 24's lineup?
Is E24 the Wrestlemania 29 set? That's what I'm waiting for...
I'll probably get The Hounds of Justice & Sin Cara for my kid - Bruno for me.
And I guess this means no Ric Flair is 2013? Shame on you, Mattel.... you could have emptied my wallet.

Poor Roman Reigns. I guess he has to wait a series to get released? This set is solid I just want Roman and Lita [better happen Mattel! ] in the next set.

Lineups Legit. Seth and Dean will both come with vests (No titles sadly because Mattel is far behind in champions). Sheamus is most likely to come with his brouge kick hooligans crap. Sin Cara May be the mashup with Rey. Brodus will come with a different colour jumpsuit. Bruno's accessorie is still being decided

So 12. 2 golden age flashbacks for the whole year. htm and savage. 2 great picks but what a horrible year for golden age fans. 1 new gen flashback. and the rest all attitude era or post a.e. and bruno for the truly old school. hope there's more golden age and new gen stuff next year

when oh when are we finally getting an Elite FB Brock Lesnar? He's my most wanted figure right now and if he isn't the RSF figure then we'll have to wait until like February 2014 to get him :/ on topic: I might get Sheamus depending on his attire and accessories but other than him E24 and E25 are complete passes for me which is cool so I can save a lot of money

I like the shield and Bruno, even happy about sin cara if it's an attire we haven't had yet. Sounds good.

First, I love Mattel's product. Secondly, I'm happy with WWE's direction as of late. My only gripe is how far off these figure are from seeing retail. Remember how hot the Nexus were about 2-3 years ago? It took a year for those puppies to hit retail, and the characters were far beyond obsolete at that point. I think Mattel does an excellent job with the figures (better than any other company has), however, they MUST figure out how to get relevant characters' figures on shelves in a more timely manner. Prediction: The Shield WILL look awesome, but they'll be irrelevant by the time S.25 hits. Edit: Maybe we'll be spared from seeing more Shield customs flooding Ebay. Edit Edit: Is this the Ambrose proto?
