So I started watching wrestling again sometime around CM Punk's return last year, and I've been somewhat enjoying it! The product is loads better than what it was when I stopped. I have been lurking wrestling figs as I used to post here when the Deluxe Aggression line first started up. Looking around online and looking at prices and teetering on the idea of whether or not I should start up again. I edged even closer when I started making weekly trips to TRU to see if there was something interesting amongst the thousands of Elite Sheamus.
Well today after class got out early, I made a stop at Meijer and saw that not only did they have better prices, but they also had FIGURES THAT WEREN'T SHEAMUS.
So I made my first Mattel purchase! Elite 25 Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose! Here is my review so far!
Overall I am super impressed with where Mattel took this line. Super stoked on building this collection!

So I made my first Mattel purchase! Elite 25 Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose! Here is my review so far!
- The packaging is nice in that it can be opened super easily without being destroyed!
- The figures themselves carry a lot more detail than the Jakks figures had. Better textures, better paint, body proportions, head scans, articulation, etc. Very Nice
- The accessories are mostly impressive. The steel chair is nice and firm! Not flimsy! The ladder is awesome! It is pretty big compared to how I imagined it, as opposed to most of the Jakks ladders that were eye level with the figure. The table however is a waste. No detail as far as wood grain goes. The color is super odd (Orange/Brown?) and the darn thing doesn't break! When Rollins comes off the top of the ladder, I wanna see the carnage! Instead Rollins bounces up and off. Table gets the three count victory.
Overall I am super impressed with where Mattel took this line. Super stoked on building this collection!
