Hmmm...this set could've been better.
Mark Henry - Why not the black/yellow look instead of yet another one in black/red? Cloth shirt's good.
Roman - Old scan, old vest. Perfectly fine figure for what it is, but nothing is saying "drop $60" on The Shield Elites when the Basics get the job done.
Big E - He looks like Terry Crews with hair. E's singlet is too full on all his upcoming figures. Deco-wise, it's good.
Warrior - Holy crap, look at that thing! I love the new wild hair scan, too. They did an excellent job capturing this unusual, detailed look. Nice attire choice!
Road Dogg - Great to see Road Dogg with all his tats, the hat and two (one of which isn't pictured) shirts. He would've looked better with a molded tucked-in shirt and a bonus cloth shirt, but it looks good and will look even better in-hand, so I'm excited for it. I'm glad they went with those style of pants. He wore a few, and those are the ones that stand out the most.
Swagger - Ouch, big letdown with this one after they gave his Basic a new singlet mold. I hate that mold, it makes people (like Mr. P) look way too thin and lanky. Swagger's likeness is good, but he's another victim of Mattel's bizarre Orange Hair Initiative. Good accessory choice for him, I must admit.
I'm definitely getting Road Dogg and maybe Warrior, now.

*Big E--I guess im in the minority. I think the scan is ok. Head, arm and leg size is good. Would've preferred white or grey attire. But it looks good in red. Barbell accessory is fine. Of course in my dreams he would have the NXT championship. Wish they fixed the singlet straps to be cut below the pecs. Thick goatee looks weird. As he has pencil thin facial hair in real life. Needs shiny boots. For some reason Kane is the only person that ever gets the shiny boot treatment. *Mark Henry-- Not much to say. Looks like a re-release of elite 15. Glad to see a cloth shirt. Even tho its one of his lamer shirts. Hall of Pain was better. *Jack Swagger-- Hope the heads not as orange in person. Scan looks good. Only complaint is the thin waist. Wish he had the khaki colored We the People shirt. *Road Dogg-- Pretty fantastic looking. Love the pants, hair and face sculpt. Hats awesome. Logos on kick pads look good. I know it also comes w/ the DX shirt because of the MOC version Jesse James posted on twitter. Hate the rubber shirt. I thought one reason they used them was to put logos on the back. But this shirt doesn't have a back logo? The shirt mainly doesn't work because Road Dogg always had his shirt tucked into his pants. Can't tell if the skin tone is too dark or not. Road Doggs whiter than me. And should have a normal white guy skin tone. But it kinda looks like he has the tanned HBK skintone. *Roman Reigns-- Can't tell if its the same head as Battlepack? Looks like a better version of that. I wish this was the more updated version w/ the new vest and the wrist braces. Its basically his debut look.....but they added his new tat sleeve. Looks good. *Ultimate Warrior-- Honestly, I barely remember him wearing singlets. I must have blocked that part of his career from my mind. It just reminds me of the Warrior knockoff that WCW had, The Renegade. Saw this figure coming a mile away. As soon as I saw elite 21 Ryback. The figure had that torso that wasn't bulky enough. But instead looked like it was tooled for an Ultimate Warrior. Figure looks great. I love the shorter hair. Really liking the new Swagger. I'll be picking that up for sure, and maybe see if anyone is willing to sell me the Mark Henry shirt at a later day.The flag is a nice touch. Gives me something to put in either Swagger or Zeb's hand when he comes out. holler @ user Goldust. He always sells the accessories when a set comes out.

If you pre-order, will they ship Mid-December or will you get them Mid-December? Wanting to make sure if I ordered something as a present that it would be here by Christmas.

So he was hanging around Dolph and AJ hoping to hook up with either one? I'm just glad that he's out and proud.

Not many other attires they could choose from. He's probably only worn 2-3 different ones in the last year. I get that black/red are cheaper colors. And that this is his look from WM 29. But his last elite was the same color. So its a bummer. I think the heads the same. But i'm not 100% on that. As good as elite 26 is......Elite 27 will be even better. Now that we've seen how great Rikishi, Taker, Billy Gunn and Fandango look. Debut of RVD is highly anticipated....and if Kofi is in long tights he should sell.

I hope warrior has his duster. I'm sure he doesn't. Shame. Mattel already has it made. Just switch the colors and pic up on the back of it. Looks incredible

Tempted by Reigns, possibly Road Dogg as well. Maybe I can justify them as Christmas gifts to myself. I have to say, RSC charging you upfront instead of when items ship is something that always puts me off when contemplating pre-orders. Did Roman ever wrestle without wrist bands? Seems odd to leave them off considering Mattel's eye for detail. He did, but I think he started wearing wristbands before he got the arm tattoo. So the figure might be inaccurate in that respect.

Would have gotten Road Dogg and Bellas but way too expensive. I'll take my chances at retail.

What a great set.
Only negatives I have are: Expressionless Road Dogg and plastic shirt. Big E's head looks too small and stumpy Skinny Swagger. No need for Mark Henry...even Magnum TA would sell better and no new tooling needed...
I'll be getting all apart from Mark Henry's as I'm happy with the Elites I have of him. Will be happy when they release a Big E basic with a better head to headswap but......I shouldn't have to...
Anyway can't wait to get them all despite some negatives. The positives Defently out way the negatives. They really knocked Warrior and Reigns out of the park!

I was gonna order Elite 26 in a couple of days but the full set is no longer available so I'll just wait. I really think $160 is more than I want to pay anyway. The set is good but isn't great. I get it's more expensive for the time of year it's coming out. While I won't have it before Christmas I'll wait until the price goes down.
