Punk, Rowan, and Harper are mine for sure. I'm also really glad Rowan comes with the chair, so I don't have to buy the battle pack.
Sandow and Goldust look good, but I don't know if I'll get them. I'd rather a flashback Goldust, but I ma end up getting this one and making due, just in case the other never happens. These will probably depends on sales.
The Andre is really disappointing, as I had really been looking forward to him. The idea of giving to attires in one is a good one, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. For one, the afro doesn't look like his hair ever did. It looks like an over sized matador hat. also, the black boots mean it won't look right without the singlet. The proper way to have done that would have been to do his Wrestlemania VI gear with the navy blue singlet and boots. Then the regular blue trunks. The boots wouldn't match exactly, but it would have been much closer. Heck, black singlet and blue boots would have looked better than black boots and any of his colorful trunks. I may still decide to pick him up once I see him in stores, but at this point I'm unsure. Certainly not the instabuy it had been when announced.

Anyone notice Harper has his bandanna hanging out of his back pocket? I hope it's attached to the white shirt.

LOL...That afro, cool to hear its removable though what a really cheap figure from Mattel. Its the same legends Andre i have they could have atleast give him the blue trunks attire instead. Ill get Harper and Rowan...maybe Punk. Easy pass on the others.

I'll be getting Harper, Rowan, Goldust, and Punk for sure. I'm undecided on Sandow because all I want is the brown briefcase. That Andre is just horrible. The afro is what it is, but if it had a smiling scan I wouldn't be so against it.

While I'm not happy with the Andre figure, it's odd that people who don't have the legends one are threatening to not get it. Take the Afro off and you have basically the same figure, so it's at least good for that. I bought that one the day it was release on Matty though, so it doesn't really help me.
I'm still tempted, just because it's Andre. But I'll have to do some repainting if I get it, and I'm not sure I feel like bothering with that.

I'm not a fan of Harper so I probably won't buy his figure, but holy crap did it ever turn out good. I'll definitely be getting Goldust and Punk though. Love the hoodie accessory with Punk, and even though he's a bit of a bum nowadays, Goldust will be a welcome addition to my collection.

Explanation on Andre.
Andre will have a removable singlet AND a removable hair piece. he should not wear both at the same time. Remove the hairpiece and add the singlet to get the Wrestlemania 3 Andre. Remove the singlet and attach the hairpiece to get the early 1980s version of Andre. he has blue trunks underneath the singlet Unfortunately the first batch of prototypes on Andre had a hairpiece that was warped and did not fit correctly. This version was used in these proto photos. This has been corrected for final product.
The final product will look better than the proto image.

Early Andre had red boots though i mentioned this previously...but that posts buried. The only pic i could find of Andre wearing black boots (pre-short hair black singlet days)....was this and afros are unpredictable. In his early days, Andres fro was taller The fact that the trunks are blue makes me feel much better about this.....especially if the final version of the afro, fits much better. now im happy about it. With the blue trunks....you might could throw some tall red boots from British Bulldog on it (assuming they work for the pegs)

Andre is yet another lazy effort just like the RSC exclusive The Rock and Crush, its like they got alot left over Andre figs in the factory and decided to glued a hair on it and repackaged it for Elite 29. I'm starting to worry that Elite 30 LOD gonna to be as disappointing as well. I hope I'm gonna be wrong.

Any chance on a Matty exclusive release of a pair of blue boots to match the figure? That would of been a great idea as a side accessory as well.

Just seems so half assed. Pretty much the same as the Matty Collector. It would of been much better to give him blue boots and just leave the singlet out. It won't look right with blue trunks and black boots. I was really hoping for a new head sculpt. Just really disappointed, I know it's silly to get angry over figures but when you really look forward to something it's to be expected. I will pass on Andre. I have the Matty Collector. If he had blue boots and a duffle bag (wm1) I would get it.
