If they use this as a way to produce a Owen-ish ,or Benoit-ish , etc. custom figure , I'll buy them.

Im not sure if this is new to everyone or not but I just saw it this morning and I was very excited. Basically it looks like Mattel is going to do what I suggest Jakks do years ago. It looks like Mattel is going to give us a chance to create our own characters. Thoughts? I'm glad they took your suggestion. Not like they are just copying the other lines out there....

I don't like the body styles but I liked the bray Wyatt mask they made. There was another one with a removable Kane mask which was more accurate than the one in e31? Kane.

If they make any of the guys I am a completionist on; RVD, Ryback, Bryan, and Ziggler; then I will buy them. I wonder what the price will be? I feel like these are gonna be $14.99 like the original Elites. O am also down for that Mr. America they showed.
The fatal flaw I see in this line versus Mashers and TMNT Mutations is that this line uses decals for tattoos and tights/trunks designs. That won't last, even with gentle play I wouldn't think.

not a great price point since marvel/transformers mashers are $9.99 and tmnt mutations $8.99.
collector prices for a line aimed at kids has disaster written all over it.

What happened in the Beniot home was horrible. But let's not forget that Chris left behind other children, children who have been alone in the world for a while now. I wouldnt be opposed to those children getting some income from their father's past employer. One guy went Awol from the military and abused women, yet they make toys of the guy all the time. Another guy walked away from the company and posed in an adult mens magazine, and they make toys of that guy all the time as well. Im not trying to justify anything here, im just saying Mattel doesnt let the past keep them from making toys.

Do kids even buy toys anymore? Walk into Target, walk down the toy isle, what you will see is 60% of those toys are meant for collectors. I see Star Wars, which no child, under 10, knows what Star Wars is. I see Transformers which are as much if not more than elites in price. Elites are meant for children but those cost around 20 dollars. So I dont think the price point is aimed at children or adults, I think the price point is just what the company wants for that toy. I think if given the choice kids would pick the toy that comes with more parts. So I think these create a figure toys will do just fine.

I don't think the price is really an issue with these being aimed at kids.
Parents fork out $60 no problem anymore for games, then cell phones and what not.
It will definitley appeal more to younger ones, just because of all the parts.
The bray looks awesome for the accesories alone.

Weird. Not sure how I feel about them, but it is an interesting product.

I hope if these do well that maybe they will offer exclusive parts for existing figure sets

So as long as some money goes to his kids, it's okay to put the likeness of a murderer in toy aisles? I'm not going to debate someone who doesn't see the difference between posing in Playgirl and killing your wife and child.

Im just saying wwe has plenty of guys who have done some pretty horrible things and yet figures are made of those guys.

I liked them when I thought these were actually Create-A-SuperStar figures, meaning I could possibly create a King Patrick Star figure, but when I watched the video, I realized that it’s not what I was thinking. As I was watching it, my son got a glimpse and has decided to add it to his list of things he wants to have.
By the way, did anyone notice the new Mattel kids sized toy version of the United States Championship Title Belt with the new WWE logo!? I guess that means I’ll be adding 5 more Mattel kids sized toy Championship Title Belts to my collection. I’m running out of room!!

I'm not all in on these, but I'm almost positive I will buy a few of these once I see them retail.

Anyone have the pic of Hogan? At first glance it seemed like something not even close to what Mr. America wore?
