Picked these up over the past couple of days Elite Kane: Was fortunate enough to find an almost fresh case with 1 of the figures having the all black shoulder joint! The chest paint is weird, it's 2 different shades of red...all the ones on the peg were like this...anyone else notice theirs like this? Compared to the E12: I love his shiny boots! This is a great figure. Elite Undertaker: I still dont understand why they didn't bother with a tie...it really brings the figure down. Compare to the EG This is how it looks with the tie Seriously....how much better is that? Without it the figure looks unfinished. Maybe instead of a ing plastic "stretcher" with Kane we could've gotten a tiny cloth tie for Undertaker. the 3 "old school" Undertakers: Basics Hulk Hogan: Love this. The bell bottoms look silly but the shirt is nicely detailed and the scan is awesome. Bandana is not removeable tho :/ HBK: There were 3 of these on the peg and all of them had pretty bad paint botches. This one only had a little on his face so I was able to clean it up I LOVE this attire. Wish we could get it in Elite form. The Rock: Simple enough repaint, I like the blue trim logo. Would've been nice to finally get a newer head but whatever. Daniel Bryan: Love the attire and this newer bearded scan is one of the best they've done. Rey Mysterio: Nicely detailed Rey, I think this will be the last one Mattel releases actually. Still gotta pick up the Triple H/Reigns & the Basic Cena....but I'll wait for a sale or something.

I don't care about your black shoulder joint.

I agree 100% about the undertaker tie

Every one Ive seen has the two tone red on the chest. Its even noticeable on RSCs pics. Kind of a bummer, but not as much as the missing tie.
No tie was a terrible idea MDT

Nice post man, good grabs. Where did you pick em up at? I saw all of the basics, cept Hogan at TRU this weekend, but no Kane/Taker. Looking to pickup the Taker so I can do some swaps with the hands for my EG Taker and then use EG Taker gloved hand on Evil Jake.

Still only seeing the 2-Packs and Basics here. Kane looks like a beauty, which is probably the first time anyone's called him that. Undertaker I'm a little more torn on, even though he was the more potentially interesting figure of the set. The hat sits oddly on his head, there's the absence of the tie, and the scan on the EG figure was more to my liking. I'll still grab one, though, which shouldn't be tough to do eventually, considering how much the WM XXX Elites warmed everywhere.

The Rock: Can anyone confirm, is this Rock from anything else? The Cena from the WM31 Basics is a repackage of Basic 48 and the BP Daniel Bryan is a repackage of 2014 Signature Series. I feel like this is from somewhere else... I hope not, I just bought it yesterday.

All are very good figures although I am not a fan of the HBK chaps pants look. But when you said Wrestlemania heritage I thought it was the Hogan, Flair, Orton, Booker T, Bella set. Every one Ive seen has the two tone red on the chest. Its even noticeable on RSCs pics. Kind of a bummer, but not as much as the missing tie. No tie was a terrible idea MDT That's because the torso is molded in red and then painted black with red painted over the black. So the red paint isn't going to match the red plastic.

Well then they done goofed! I was mostly just responding to his question tho

Nices adds. I've got Hogan ordered, along with Paige and Hogan from E34. That was really the only figure I was interested in these sets. But, I might grab Taker and Kane elites if I come across them retail. Not going out of my way searching for them though. Congrats on your purchases.

I didn't know the Hogan had writing on the back of the shirt. I had wanted the figure but now I don't.

I know this is a stupid question but which Kane figure is more accurate; skin joint or the all black joint.

I really like that they did the back of Hogan's shirt. They could've even done a plastic tie, and it would have made that Taker so much much better. Kane's accessories are pretty much useless, would rather they just did the voice box again.
