WOW, Mattel... just take my money! This has to be one of the best Elite series ever - Fandango and RVD are just amazing. Actually, they're ALL amazing... even Kofi has a really cool shirt. Fantastic set.

This was the first set that I ever preordered, I was kind of iffy about ordering the whole thing, but seeing these pictures now makes me so glad I did. A lot of hate on Taker which I understand some, but I'm waiting to see how the attire looks before passing judgment. If it's a bland attire I'll be a little disappointed but I needed a bald Taker for my collection so I can't complain too much

Rikishi is PERFECT. Mattel got this one spot on. The torso, the entrance gear, the attire... this might be one of my favourite Mattel figures yet. I'm just interested to see how it looks like from behind. 10/10 from me.
RVD is good aswell. Looking forward to picking him up. Attire is well done, head looks good, perfect weapon choice. Finally, RVD can be welcomed into our Mattel collections! 9/10
Fandango is just mindblowingly good. So glad I skipped out on his Basic because this one is one of Mattel's best work to date. Even the way it's packaged looks awesome. The attire, the vest, it's spot on. It represents Fandango perfectly. If I had one tiny suggestion, I would have liked to see what his scan would look like clean-shaven but that's nitpicking. 10/10
Undertaker - The gear looks good but it looks like it's that hard material that Elite 8 came with. It looks awesome displayed though, but having said that, I don't think I'll be picking this one up. 8/10
Billy Gunn, I was really excited about seeing and everything looks great EXCEPT his head! It looks like a BCA scan! What's going on with his hair Mattel? It looks like it was stuck on with superglue. Billy's hair was never solid puke yellow like that. I realise they have a budget but this could have been executed better IMO. It also looks like the big lips logo isn't on the front of his tights, judging by the photoshopped render on his packaging. I don't understand why... I give this one a 6/10. Pretty disappointed tbh.
Kofi Kingston easily the worst one in the set. It's not a bad figure, it's just meh. I definitely won't be picking this one up. I feel that if he had kneepads, the figure would be slightly improved a little. The cloth t-shirt is nice though. I'm just not a Kofi fan. I give this figure a 6/10.
In short, I'll be picking up Rikishi, RVD and Fandango.

Why is the pre-order still for mid-March? You telling me that despite having MOC pics, we'd have to wait a month and a half for the figures to arrive? Mattel sending MOC pictures to Ringside doesn't magically make Ringside have them in stock??

Know what I love about Mattel? They don't just give you a billy gunn with a black shirt and are like, here ya go, heres your billy gunn with a black dx shirt... Later we might give you another billy gunn with a white shirt
Instead their like "here's your billy gunn, would you like a white dx shirt or a black dx shirt? Here, have both and two headband options too"
They did the same with legends Austin, elite rock and more I assume , don't remember them all
But that's so cool they do that, jakks wouldn't have done the same unless it was an exclusive maybe?
I'm hoping they give a red and yellow bandanna with the hulkster when they finally release him

If I had the cash I would preorder the whole set. For now it's just Rikishi and Billy Gunn. Down the line I will def get this entire set though. I really do love that Billy Gunn, I mean this set is 10/10 but I've been waiting for Mr. Ass for years. I'm so happy we finally have him. I would have loved two tag titles over the shirts but I understand that this set really spread the budget thin. I love the white DX shirt. I'll de keeping that one on Billy no doubt. Road Dogg has his Road Dogg shirt and I gave the extra DX shirt to one of my E19 HBK's. I don't know what I'm going to do with this extra dx shirt though. Maybe put it on DM Triple H. I just hope X-Pac comes with a cloth shirt and cloth leather jacket, just like DM HHH, with his green/white/black singlet and a red removable bandanna, and sunglasses. I really like X Pac.
