Loving that Wu-Tang RVD, the white really stands out. Can anybody tell if HBK had the long tights mold that Christian uses? Or did they just use the trunks mold and paint his legs black like the SS HHH, Imo that looks horrible. I don't understand why they didn't use the legs used for Edge and Christian for guys like Kofi, and HHH. It the new updated Rollins basic has the same problem I'll be upset.

I actually don't have a problem with this HBK. I'm actually glad that they're potentially saving more 97 Michaels' for the Elite style.

That Shawn Michaels was cool when I got it 2 years ago... when it was an elite with the European Title!! Really Mattel?? Out of all the outfits HBK wore in 1997, you went with a repeat of an elite and didn't even give him the proper hand gear to wear at that?? *sigh* this 1000% ! was trying to hold off, waiting to see HBK's attire before deciding to order or not... glad I waited.

Mysterio is nice, RVD is phenomenal, wish Andre was thicker at the waist and his singlet was dark blue, wish HBK was more colorful, I like the colors on Big Show, and expectations were met with Undertaker.
Good accessory choices too, though I hate the rib wrap because if you leave it on a figure for too long it has a tendency to take some paint off(personal experience).

If they added the knee pads on HBK I would have been thrilled because of the lack of pads on elite 19

I really like that RVD. The packaging makes the figures pop, looks good

I'll get Andre loose and then the cool Rey and RVD pack. I'll pass on the Shawn and Taker pack cause I hate Taker and I have the elite of that Shawn.

Very disappointed in the HBK also.
Andre looks great. I like Rey, Show and RVD too.

To be fair, the Shawn attire is from the night Anvil "joined" DX. But the hair isn't accurate to that match. So it's kind of all over the grid, no knee pads either. I was ging to post that too! Lol the logos on his tights are also accurate to that random raw match against vader when they buried neidhart too. Those are not the sames logos as the hiac e19 figure. I for one am glad they went the generic attire route on that hbk figure because I detest basics and I think they wouldve wasted his flashy attires on that because I feel that his colorful attires should be used for elites(if and when mattel ever decides to make anymore elite shawn's). Anyways im going to buy that andre which will be my first and only basic figure.

The HBK and Taker set is AWFUL! What a poor job Mattel did on that one. I'm a huge HBK fan and don't recall him ever wearing plain white wrist tape during that era. Obviously I could be wrong but it still doesn't change the fact that the set way too plain looking.

This is exactly many of us were iffy on doing one of HBK's better attires in this set. I wish they would've just made the black attire with the turquoise heartbreak outlines instead of a crappier version of Bad Blood. Easy pass. Also, they still can't get his damn hair color right.
RVD/Rey, though - now that's a cool looking set. I wanted to get a WCW Rey but didn't want to fork over the cash for the 6-pack and didn't like the attire choice for the Elite. This is way more representative of WCW Rey to me. RVD's gear really pops, too! Not sure what the logic is in having these guys together, but I dig it.
Andre/Show is cool just on premise alone. Will probably pick this one up since I lack an Andre, still. I like the new headsculpt from the looks of it.

Huge disappointment w/ HBK. But its all good. I see the positive in it. They didn't waste a good attire on basic. Easy pass on all of them.
