got my set of Elite 34 in the mail today, gotta say I'm very impressed with most of the figures, but there are a few flaws to my specific figures which I'll get into...
Rusev
I liked the basic, but it drove me nuts that it couldn't do the Accolade, so thankfully that problem is solved with his elite. The medal is really hard to get off and I fear it will snap at some point if I try to take it off too often. The podium is a cool accessory but I would have rather gotten a Russian flag.
John Cena
man Mattel is really behind on Cena's? It's strange I would have expected this new elite to be the red gear that the sig series came with, I haven't opened the new elite yet because I got the sig series last week and put it on an extra elite with brown shorts. Still debating what I'm going to do with this new Cena...
Doink the Clown
Love this figure, it is awesome! Another fantastic Flashback from Mattel. My figures legs are a little tight which is upsetting, but it looks great and will have a nice place on my 80s/New Generation shelf.
Bad News Barrett
I really feel like we need a new Barrett scan, the cape is pretty cool, but it just feels like been there done that with this figure.
Hulk Hogan
I'm glad I waited and didn't jump on the sig series & WM series Hogan because this one is way better and I don't need a billion figures that look the same, just an awesome figure and is going to look great on my shelf!
SUPERDOME BROTHER!
Paige
This was easily my most wanted figure from the set, I'm a big Paige fan and this figure doesn't disappoint. They captured her likeness perfectly and the addition of the NXT Womens Championship & and a re-scaled Divas title is icing on the cake. My only problem is her left leg is very tight and scares me that it might snap off, I put it in hot water but it still didn't loosen it enough, hope I can find another one at retail at some point.
Daniel Bryan Signature Series
didn't get the Rey two pack so I grabbed this Bryan to make up for it, especially since the BAF Elite hasn't shown up yet.
other recent pick ups (more pics in their respective threads in the Other Collectibles section)
Thanks for looking!! Next up should be a huge order BP 34, Elite 35 & B50 in April, unless the BAFs miraculously start popping up soon (HA, won't hold my breath)
