Definitely getting Undertaker for my Undertaker collection! A great new scan and awesome packaging, even though his picture is photoshopped

I think Undertaker will always be one of the exceptions to the no tv time rule...simply because of him being a legend and up there in popularity with guys like Austin, Rock, Bret etc....however really wish they would have at least made him as a flashback with the purple/black attire.

Did people really expect new attires/scans/molds for this set? It's basically a signature series in fancy packaging. Obviously Mattel packed the basics with big names since it's a WM themed set. I collect all MOC Rocks so I have to get this one.
Mattel gave us HBK and Bret for the Elites and decent choices for the 2-Packs. I'm just glad the Elites weren't Rock & Cena and instead HBK and Bret as basics.
And TV time only applies to jobbers/mid-carders, not legends and big names that are already established.

Why Rock in gold AGAIN? I swear the only 2 colors they have for Rock's logos are silver & gold. It's tiresome. Agreed. They should make him in the purple and green trunks he wore at... OhwaitRockonlywearssilverandgoldlogossincehecameback. oh and for craps & giggles Mattel- "we wont make ______ because they aren't on TV" 3 modern Undertaker's released in the last 4 months ...... LOL it's funny because you missed their point. And I agree about the "We can't make ________ because he/she hasn't been on TV". Yet the keep releasing Undertakers and he was only on WWE TV for like a month. I love Wfigs logic. Undertaker doesn't wrestle much these days, therefore he is less famous than Tyson Kidd and Aksana! DOZE GUYZ SHUD GET FIGZ B4 HIM!

I want to see someone take this new Lesnar scan and put it on Ringside Exclusive Brock's body. I believe that would be just awesome looking.

Since you obviously have the insider info with Mattel's business, can you tell me what "their point" is??? Nothing to do with insider info. Just takes a bit of common sense. Scroll back in the thread. The last line of chewdeezy's post on page 2 explains it. But if you really find it that hard to use common sense, I can explain further: Their point is that TV creates a fanbase for the wrestler. If unknowns aren't getting on TV, they stay unknowns -- and thus they are worthless when it comes to merchandising, particularly with action figures that are to be sold in the dozens/hundreds of thousands across the world. If Undertaker appears less on TV, he doesn't become an unknown (certainly not when he's still having one of the biggest WrestleMania matches every year) -- he's still the Undertaker. Brock Lesnar can be away from Raw for six months at a time, but he's still Brock Lesnar. Rey Mysterio can be injured for a year -- he's still Rey Mysterio. All of this is very, very obvious too. Funniest thing you've said in a while. It's so ridiculous that I'm not even sure how to explain it to you other than: Having one of the biggest matches at WrestleMania each year > having fifty matches on Superstars/Main Event/NXT that nobody watches or cares about. But it's almost depressing that you need that to be explained to you.

I would have much rather preferred this "special" set to be Heritage style. Instead of 3 EXACT RE-RELEASES. Gimme Rock in this attire: Cena like this: and Undertaker from Wrestlemania 27 (this figure was released with that TRU ring, but it would be a way to get it without buying that whole set) Lesnar is fine...considering he's in the Battle Pack w/ Batista When you compare to the Elites & Battle Packs, this set of 4 is VERY underwhelming. They could have easily done more with it.

I find it funny, oh and for craps & giggles Mattel- "we wont make ______ because they aren't on TV" 3 modern Undertaker's released in the last 4 months ...... that was this new thing called.....sarcasm YOU are the one who missed the point. it's not about the wrestler, or the figure, or even that it's been made it's about their excuses and reasons for things, that i find to be silly. i own almost 750 Mattel WWE figures. if i don't like or agree with something I HAVE THE ING RIGHT TO

I don't think I've liked a single of the Rock's modern head scans. They all seem to be missing something.
That Brock scan, on the other hand, is amazing. Not a big fan of the screaming scans but this one works for him so well. A must buy for me. I hope they come out with an Elite figure with this scan.

Hmmm... pretty disappointing set - especially after the awesome Elites and Battlepacks. I'd have loved them to have been a BAF series instead of a "bare bones" release.

you really don't understand anything. you read, see complaining and then just go "that guys stupid....here let me EXPLAIN everything because i'm great" False. I explain it because stupidity can only be cured through explanation and education. My greatness is purely coincidental. If, even after it being explained to you, you still don't get it... Then hey, it's only yourself that you're upsetting by misunderstanding their point and having childish expectations. You can lead a horse to water, but it's up to the horse whether it drinks or just stands there saying hilarious things about Undertaker not having name value anymore. it's not about the wrestler, or the figure, or even that it's been made it's about their excuses and reasons for things, that i find to be silly. Sure, but in reality, it's your misunderstanding of the situation that's silly. The same way that your total misunderstanding of budgeting is silly. Ultimately, your core misunderstanding is that you still don't grasp the fact that Mattel is a business rather than a charity for hardcore collectors. They are in the business of selling toys in high volumes -- that is why a wrestler's name value is important, and why low-level jobbers who get little to no TV time are not high priorities compared to the part-time megastars on the WrestleMania posters.
