I agree that E32 is the worst. Only good one was Daniel Wyatt

JCF, Thanks!! Gotta love the GoPro, haha. alquelude, What? There is always first time figures even though Mattel doesn't brand it as such. Mattel brands "First time" as in the wrestler, regardless if it is a flashback or not. This set DOES have first time characteristics. The first time we've seen a WCW Elite Rey, the first time we've seen the Cruiserweight Title in Mattel form, the first time we'll see a Daniel Wyatt (even though I thought Mattel would ignore that this happened since it was such a short thing), the first time we've seen an Elite Cara with the tattoo, the first time Bryan hasn't had a terrible headscan, the first time we've seen Big E's white attire, and the first time we've had an Elite bald Mark Henry. I don't have an interest buying the BAF Kane Daniel Bryan. I already have the basic Corporate Kane, and that's enough for me. cableV, I agree that Cody should've been green. The only thing I like about E32 is the jacket. I thought about buying it to put on an Ambrose. Yambag Jones ,But WM18 first, with his green tights, pink/silver sparkling jacket, and his red ponytail.

I consider it half good/half bad:
GOOD:
Daniel Bryan - 2 great ways to display him,and a much needed new headscan.
Rey Mysterio - I've wanted a WCW styled Rey for years now, so this fits a need in my collection. plus, Cruiserweight Belt!
Sin Cara - the first updated Elite with the shoulder tattoo.
BAD:
Big E. - honestly,hasn't done much of note in a long,long time. not really a good seller to begin with.
Mark Henry - the black hole of pegwamrers. his Elite 26 one is still on pegs around here. and,honestly,you can just buy the cheaper Basic one with the bald head,pop it on your elite one,and you get the same figure.
Cody Rhodes - nice looking figure and attire. problem is,no one wants Cody Rhodes anymore with Stardust on TV.

Elite 32 was a phenomenal set. I consider a set "good" if I'm buying at least 3/6 figs. So lets talk about the set:
Sin cara: great attire, updated tattoo, I purchased this with no hesitation Mark Henry: finally a bald updated henry, awesome accessories, couldn't wait to get this Daniel Bryan/wyatt: My figure has the same matching face tone as body, so I really like it. Also, good accessory for bryan, or updated rowan Mysterio: another great wcw add, finally a cruiserweight champ, and I like the little jumping connector
These are the ones I didn't get: Big e: good fig, but I honestly didn't need another big e. I have his basic 36 and elite 26, so I was fine Cody Rhodes: great fig, but I like everyone wish we got stardust. I will be getting this fig if I can find it complete on the bay so I can put it with GOLDUST and the tag belts
This was a great set

No, not at all. I've bought the full set and it's a set of six great figs IMO!

I grabbed Bryan and Rey from E32 and I need to buy Cody eventually since I'm missing him. The first two I mentioned were absolute necessities for me. WCW Rey makes me the most nostalgic a flashback has since E23 Undertaker. He was easily one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid and having this attire (which makes me hum his epic WCW theme in my head everything I look at him) in figure form is a beautiful thing. Bryan was my most wanted figure all year, pretty much since his title win last Summerslam even, and they nailed this figure. It'd be almost perfect if it wasn't for his painted face. Even still, this figure makes this set absolutely worth owning.
It may not have the excitement of a Bray Wyatt debut, but other than that this set is far better than, say, E28

elite 2014 from worst to best 1.) 32 2.) 28 3.) 30 4.) 31 5.) 33 6.) 27 7.) 29 Yup. I would put 27 at 1 and 29 at 2 though. I think 30 and 31 are tied for 3rd. If Lesnar had not been the TRU exclusive then I would put E30 ahead of E31. I think Rocky having 3 flashbacks this year hurt E31 as well, I would of put that one ahead if RSC and Target didn't do those ones as well.

I don't think E32 is a really bad set.
Flashback Mysterio is awesome Bald Henry is pretty cool Cody Rhodes is good but should've been in his gold trunks to match Goldust Sin-Cara has a pretty cool attire, maybe best elite attire Big E is white singlet with new IC title is pretty cool Daniel Wyatt is awesome, great attire, unique accessory

It's not a great set. I got Rey, Sin Cara, and DB from this set and really like them all, painted face on D-Bry is still a problem though.
Big E wasn't bad, I liked the fixed singlet. Scan isn't very good. I have E26 already and will wait for a new day version.
Mark Henry, the bald scan does look great. What kills me is this is his 4th elite in red/black, when you can still get E26 at retail in many areas, this was a bad move to include him here.
I'm a huge Cody fan but this is the worst of the set. Old scan that wasn't great to begin with, wrong body part choices, bad attire. The vest is the only good part about it.

Rey and db are nice but as a selective collector no one did it for me. Pass on the whole set

It's not that its a bad set, its just not really exciting. I myself bought Rey (love the WcW attire) but we all know how usually most of us get tired of seeing Rey on the shelves. Mark I also ended up getting because he's got great accessories and a much more colorful attire (the added White makes it look TONS better), Sin Cara was also a must for me because its the most colorful Sin we have gotten so far (I'd have to say that its now my fave Cara). My favorite of the set hands down is Daniel. I LOVE the scan (I've stayed away from his past bearded figs cause they never looked right to me) AND we got the jumpsuit to make him a Wyatt! Big E and Cody I passed on but it doesn't mean they are bad figures (they are not bad figures AT ALL), they're just not exciting.

where do we rank it against other elite series clunkers like 24, 21, 20 & 18?

its not a bad set...no Elite set has been really bad
but it's not a great set either.
Rey is awesome. Bryan is awesome. it was good to get a new Big E, a new Mark Henry...etc.
But there are flaws in all the figures....or not so much flaws but head scratching decisions
Mark Henry in black & red attire AGAIN Big E.'s scan is horrible Cody Rhodes attire is soooooooooooooo boring, and they still use the worst parts for him. Sin Cara was completely unnecessary...as he is never on RAW or Smackdown anymore and Mattel always gives us the excuse for guys like Titus not getting an Elite that he's not on TV enough....Sin Cara has had 2 Elites while wrestling about 15 matches on TV in that time....but Titus O'Neil can't get an Elite?

I thought it was fairly decent set however, I only bought 2 out of 6 in the set. Yet they haven't been warming seriously hard near me.

I'm glad someone else brought up how weak Elite 32 actually is. I've been thinking it for awhile, but never saw much said about it.
Rey Mysterio and Mark Henry are historically two of the worst shelf warmers. It helps that Rey is a flashback and they basically thrown in every accessory known to man with Henry.
The rest all have flaws or poor timing
Sin Cara - I like the attire, but he's had way too many figures out for a guy who has failed on main roster
Big E - I like that it comes with title, but he's in the middle of a gimmick change
Cody - Poor timing. No one wants a Cody figure right now. They are all waiting for Stardust to come out in 4 or 5 months
Daniel Bryan Wyatt - He's been off television and there have been so many of his figures that have recently came out. Also, it's weird that we get a figure for something that lasted like maybe two weeks on television?
If your local Target or Walmart have a ton of e32, you may not see Elite 33 for a long time

If Mattel rushed to give us a Stardust figure, it would be absolutely terrible. Also, during this time, Sin Cara was 'feuding' with Del Rio and was on Raw more than most. He's doing well in NXT as half of the Tag Team Champions right now, so in a way it's promoting NXT. He's also worn that attire more than once down at Full Sail. I think it's sweet we got Daniel Bryan as Daniel Wyatt. It's different, and I'm glad Mattel produced a Daniel Wyatt. This headscan actually resembles Bryan, unlike his past headscans.

All of the figures in E32 are nicely done. Some may argue that they are the best figs of Cody and Cara. However, on paper, the names suck.

I think the Big E figure needed to happen.
The first ones body mold was completely wrong so I'm glad they re-tried it. The one problem is the Headsculpt but I'm hoping Mattel release a basic with a new better head for a swap.
