I agree that they still need to make taker based on that wwe 13 avatar. its so iconic when you consider the hell in a cell match.
But technically, they never made a gray undertaker, so I'm still keeping high hopes up for that. All we need is the proper gray gloves instead of debut black and we'd be set. Heck, I'm fine with them using the same scan of that was a deal breaker. But in the mean time, my custom will do one I finally get to make it

Cena-- Looks good. Heads kind large....but i like the big cheesy smile
Taker--- I like the face more then I did @ Sdcc. Skin-tone and eye makeup look good. Mask looks great. Torso is a little suspect. But i'm used to the hourglass Mattel shape by now. Looks kinda blue. But I'd rather it be this darker royal blueish purple...then the other purple they use that looks pink. They have a tough time doing purple.
Macho--- deco is crazy good. Shirts still bulky and inaccurate. Ive always like the hair. The face i didn't like. But its growing on me. Tassle design on boots annoys me.
Cesaro-- Scan is perfect. Attire is perfect. I hate the leg wraps. They're too big and bulky. They shouldn't have changed the arms. The one that was shown in the slide show at the SDCC panel had the large e20 Cody arms. Which would be accurate. But they switched them to the small arms that the basic had. And the legs are way to large/ripped. So if you want to swap out the legs for something skinnier (more accurate)...the stupid leg wraps might not even fit. Still don't like the tiny torso. But at least they said he will get a larger one next time
JBL-- Accessories are great. I like the face. Hair color is way too auburn. I hate when they use that color. I'm glad they changed the torso. At SDCC you can see that it was the Terry Funk torso. Now its basically an e11 Wade Barrett w/o the tattoos. It even has the Barrett arms w/ the HUGE forearms. I wish they chose a bulkier (and less ripped) torso. The Funk torso is less defined, but if u put them side by side...the torso is much smaller. So this Barrett torso is an improvement.
HHH--they changed the torso.....and it looks 100x better. Face isn't great. Hair colors good. The back of the hair is perfect. Reminds me of the old Jakks Hunters. Accessories are cool. Still don't like that they painted the tights on an elite 2/7 HHH legs. And the color of the silver still looks blue. I wish it had the old HHH shirt. The old H logo in red.

Macho definitely looks more like Savage here than his last few figures, and a supreme improvement over the prototype. That's my top get.

Yea these are the main 2 left (i dont see Mattel doing grey gloved cuz of the EG, though that would be great too): you know,I always though the grey gloved version would make for a good WrestleMania Heritage Basic. this look: they already have all the pieces for it ( the EG figure,with a shirted torso mold this time). just mold the gloves grey,and give him a new,long,stringy hair headsculpt. that way we can get a grey glove Taker,but not have it take up a FB spot in an Elite series.

This is so awesome. Everyone is great on figure, but idk, there's something about Taker's sculpt. It's not bad, but slightly off. Cesaro is the best in the set! Love Macho also, just would have prefered him to be from the 80's.

What a fantastic set! I'm so happy that we're getting an Elite JBL so I couldn't care less about the torso as it looks good to me. Also I might need to get that Taker and Cesaro. Unfortunately I decided to only collect Basics so now I really can't decide whether to get them or not. I already have a Taker based on 2007 - 2011 in Basic form and the Elite 18 Big Evil version.

Mattel forgot to add more pinkish makeup above undertakers eyebrows. And why isn't Undertakers goatee connected completely? Going to buy undertaker and triple h!

Hey I haven't seen you post in a while. Shouldn't the goatee be reddish? Or was it darker then? I can't remember, but I thought it was brown with a reddish tint to it. I think that is what is making it look off to me.

(i dont see Mattel doing grey gloved cuz of the EG, though that would be great too) I think they will -- or at least, they should, seeing as they've got the head from the Entrance Great and they've made the torso now. Although they'd need to mold a new arm/shoulder part because he always had the frayed shirt with the grey gloves, so maybe not. Hopefully though.

the only sure buy for me is Cesaro. Taker is a likelihood too. not sure how I feel about the Savage. no interest in Cena. JBL is likely a no, and Trips is a definite no.

Could somebody she'd some light on when taker was in purple and had the full tattoo sleeves, like perhaps who he fought in matches during that time?
I honestly can't recall.... though I was only 6 or 7 at the time, so my memory is foggy!
Im really glad we have diesel and yokozuna for this era taker. But we still need Sid!
Oh, and mable with orbital bone breaking action

Undertaker looks more Blue than purple, but its still awesome in its own right!
The JBL torso choice ruined it, and the head sculpt is blah, imo.
Dont really care for Cena and I dont really collect current roster, but Cesaro is a solid figure.
I'll be picking up :
Macho Man Undertaker Triple H

Oh, and mable with orbital bone breaking action The figure (judging by the shoulders) is based on WrestleMania XII, where he fought Diesel. In the purple outfit, his notable feuds and matches were with Underfaker (debut of the purple outfit), a casket match with Yoko, The Million Dollar Corporation (IRS, Bundy, Kama), Mabel, Bret Hart, Diesel, Mankind, Goldust. At Survivor Series 1995, if you want to get complete, his team-mates and opponents: The Darkside (The Undertaker, Savio Vega, Fatu and Henry Godwinn) (with Paul Bearer) defeated The Royals (King Mabel, Jerry Lawler, Isaac Yankem and Hunter Hearst Helmsley) (with Sir Mo) He changed from the purple to the all-black leather Hellraiser style look (as captured in his Defining Moments figure) at Survivor Series 1996 during his feud with Paul Bearer and Mankind, and then with the new look went on to feud with The Executioner, Vader, Sid etc.

Sigh...
If you think that Taker is blue in any shape of form, then your colorblind. Get your eyes checked.
