Since its a requirement to find a complaint about any new Mattel figs, I have to point out that HHH and JBL come with those damn leg sleeve kneepads. And I'm all out of Orton style kneepads to swap  Seriously, they look pretty good. Glad I pre-ordered the whole set although I might not keep Savage. The attire is very detailed but its just not a favorite of mine. I have 4 Savages already (all-stars, DM, NWO, and a custom late 90s red/black attire) and enough winged eagle belts to choke an elephant so I might try to trade him. |

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. Well cesaros next elite will have a diff torso so maybe this is the one to skip. |

Can't wait to own Undertaker! Here's to hoping I can find him at retail.. He's the one I really want out of the set, I want the whole set except for Cena if I'm honest though haha.

Macho Man- looks even better, can't wait! !!!
Taker -is too lanky looking, but I will still get it.
Cesaro -looks sweet, but I don't collect current guys anymore.
Jbl-pass, never liked his ability in the ring, and attitude out of it & the figure looks blah.
Triple h- maybe
Cena-pass

The new cena scan is awful just like his wrestling. I am starting to regret ordering that Cena now because of that headscan. Lucky I still have a Cena head from the DM Cena sitting around here somewhere. |

I think the long pads are fine for JBL as they are like what he wore at the time with his braces and such. what i'm wondering is, how the do they get that top off HHH's body? Getting it off isn't the problem. Just unfasten the pegs on the sides and lift up and slide the front of the shirt over his face. Then just slide it down the back of his head. But putting it back on will be a problem without removing the head because of the long hair in back. |

Only complaint I have isn't even about the figure, its the taker packaging. I collect MOC so would of been cool to have taker packed with the mask on. I like when figures are packed with their accessories on or holding them because then its a little harder for people to steal them in the store. But I also understand for loose collectors you guys don't want staining which is more important than how a figure is packed.
Amazing set Mattel and I hope you go with the tradition of one flashback set per year!

That JBL body looks really good for making some random fixups. Too bad its probably short packed and will never be a cheap fig to pick up for fixups.

In the event that those little specks of black on JBL are infact staining its nothing goof off cant take of in a sec.
Triple Hs hair color bugs me, it should be bright blonde but I love the new mold with the ponytail.

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:   In no way is that blue, its a deep violet. This may be the color people were expecting, which would make more sense since it fits the mask and full tattoo sleeve version, and since they used this one on the box:   But this is the color we got, cuz im pretty sure this is the color he used at WM, and im still very happy with it:    So happy i preordered this fig, i cant wait til friday!! |

Taker's pretty awesome. I really like the Triple H too. I know it's a weird hybrid Triple H but I still like it a ton.
