Cesaro and Undertaker are my favourites. HHH isn't as bad as I thought it would be either.

I like the JBL, but looks like there's gonna be a staining issue. Doesn't look like staining to me. Both my E22 Sandow figures were the same way. It looks like it's just small particles from the fabric that'll wipe right off. At least that's how it was with my Sandow figures I hope so, but you'd think Tom (or whoever is in charge of the pics) would've brushed it off if so?

Not if they were in a rush to shoot and post them. But the hard plastic torso never stains. As for the arms and shoulders I'm sure come Sept or whenever these hit retail the longer they are kept MOC the greater the chance of staining. But any figures RSC ships out now won't be stained.
Just wipe the figure down and gently wash the jacket before you put it back on to remove any excess dye that might be in the fabric. That's what I do with every cloth accessory they give us.

something about that undertaker torso doesnt mesh quite right, but it is a stellar figure overall

UGH!
I've been patiently waiting for a JBL figure and then what do they do? They take a Wade Barrett figure before it gets a tattoo put on and sticks JBL's head on. Extremely disappointed.

I'm getting Undertaker, Cesaro, and even though the JBL figures looks like crap, I'll have to get it because it's a first time in the line. Maybe I'll put his head on a COO Triple H body and put him at the announce desk, because it looks like they made him a really really really small torso, so it's not going to be a very good representation of JBL in wrestling gear.

Can't wait to see @the1dean70 perfect JBL.

Undertaker looks great. I'll probably order him once he's back in stock. The rest, I'll order from TRU or something once they're released in stores.

Dare I say Taker looks blue? dammit to hell! you're right! I'm praying (again) that it's just a trick of the camera or lighting...PLEASE! I dunno, man. Taker's photo looks clearly purple and the figure looks blue. Even the tie looks blue:

The detail on Savage is amazing!

Looks like a dark purple. I agree. Doesn't look like a real blue color to me.

Now that I can get figures for retail price, I'll probably get; Trips Undertaker Cesaro Macho
At first none really impressed me, but I have to say I quite like them! E22 was good, but I think E23 might just be slightly better.

Triple H looks way better with that torso! The hair color isn't too shabby, either. Still not thrilled with the attire, but all things considered, it doesn't look as bad as it once did. I'll probably wind up getting it just to have a complete DX.
Damn, why did Cesaro change his attire to something so plain recently? This figure is AWESOME! Great attire choice, good likeness, good beard, excellent execution. We already know they're gonna make future Cesaros with a bigger torso, but otherwise, this thing is fantastic. Definitely getting him.
That Taker is so cool. I've been waiting for something like this for eons. Yes, it looks a little on the blue side, but he's worn blue-ish purple before (judging by reference photos I just looked up to make sure), so I don't mind it. I love the texture on the mask and the fact that it fits so well under his hair. Special boots, undereye make-up, good likeness - yeah, totally mine.
Savage is really good. I love that you can see the shine in the gold details on his attire designs, too. It's a very intricate figure. I'm still hoping we can get some higher-end exclusive neon green Savage from this era sometime in the future, but until then, this looks like a good alternative Savage from the usual ones we see. I think that's his best captured likeness, too. Would love to see it with a "Ohhhh" expression. He and Goldust could benefit from it.
Cena's Cena. Don't care, I'm forever content with the Rise Above Hate one.
Why does JBL have auburn hair? Why do so many Mattels have red hair when they shouldn't? JBL should've had a slightly darker version of HHH's hair color. I was on the fence, but I think I'll give this one a pass, now.
Overall, good set. While most of us were bummed when we found out DX weren't in as rumored, with the rest of DX coming in 2014 and some of the excellent attires we got through this set, I'm pretty happy with it. Hope this becomes an annual thing.

i kinda wish they saved Cesaro for another Elite set so instead of a pointless American Flag we could have gotten his jacket...
In my head I always dream up the perfect setup of every new Elite, and Mattel is usually 75% close, so that's good. In a perfect world, HHH would have a cloth shirt, Undertaker would have an urn, JBL would have a shiny Undisputed Title, Macho Man would have his entrance gear
however the figures themselves are pretty awesome and im happy with what i get.
except, JBL wishes he was that skinny, ever. Mattel needs to step it up and get BIGGER torsos for BIGGER guys
