I'll only get this if I see it and it's a reasonable price to complete Demolition.... I'm not hunting for it....
Can't believe with all the Legends Mattel hasn't given us - THIS makes the list....
And when it sits at retail, they'll say "Legends don't sell well."
I predict this whole set (except Bray) will shelf-warm at retail.... it's gonna be a long wait for E29.
They should have included an "Old School" WWE Tag Team belt.... that would have changed the general tune on this figure COMPLETELY....

Maybe Mattel should stop making the same guys over and over and over again. I just don't understand why this is done.

God help me that head sculpt is awful. this. I have it preordered,and love Demolition,so it's a given I'm keeping him...but,God,they missed the mark on that head something fierce! also, where the hell are the official MOC pics already?! Elite 28 hits THIS month, and so far we've only seen Bryan and Crush in package,and they weren't even official Mattel photos! |

I hope he's packed at .5 per case, otherwise we will be in trouble.

I guess I'm in the minority on this one. I'm stoked it's coming out and happy to add him in with my Ax and Smash. I agree it's not a great head sculpt, but It's a not a make or break for me. As for him warming the shelves, I think even if kids don't know who he is, they'll see a dude in face paint, spikes, and a hockey mask and assume he's a badass and want to get him.

I'm predicting this to be the biggest shelf warming Flashback yet. Idk why but I feel the same way. I shouldn't but I do. Same. But I still want this figure. |

God help me that head sculpt is awful. Yeah the gritting teeth was a poor choice. If they had done a "calm but evil" scan like THE ONE ON THE BOX, maybe it would've been better. Here's hoping loose in-hand pics will do it better justice. |

I'm predicting this to be the biggest shelf warming Flashback yet. I think it could go either way. The success of the figure by itself relies on people already having the Legends Demolition figures, which rules out virtually everybody outside of North America since the legends line was not available in the UK for example. However, if you happened to have the Jakks Demolition lying around you may be tempted to buy two or three of Crush in order to do head switches and create your own Ax and Smash using that body. So I reckon it'll sell poorly here to those who don't have that Jakks set. But once the price drops in the UK, people will buy it to customise if they have the Jakks heads. |

After all the collectors snatch Crush up, he may hang around for awhile. We all want him to stand next to Ax and Smash but kinds may not have any interest. Even thought it's a cool looking figure attire-wise.

I think for a lot of people, Bray is the only must have from the whole E28. But I'm excited for Crush too, to complete Demolition, although I'm not crazy about that head sculpt. I still think he'll sell OK. The rest of them will be hanging around a while.

I doubt it'll warm shelves, with the exception of e20 Christian, flashbacks typically sell very well. Plus I believe this one is excluded in the second case assortment.
Besides the iffy headscan I love this figure.

No complaints from me. It'll complete my Demolition collection and it'd be a nicely added figure

This figure is an absolute must have for me. I think it looks dope and will look fantastic next to Ax and Smash.
