I can kinda see this Roman head sculpt growing on me provided they make his skintone lighter and add his stubble around the jaw for future figures. Even if the door is an excellent accessory, the botched skintone of Faarooq ranks it among MattelDesignTeam's worst of all time. They should be ASHAMED of that garbage.Finally! Someone agrees with me about Roman's skintone. They've been getting it wrong the whole entire time, he should be lighter.

Probably a noobish question but is it possible to replace farooq's head with a Jakks version and the figure still look OK ie in scale?

Scale isnt your issue, its the skin colour, it would be a major coisidence if Jakks ed up Faarooqs skin colour so badly also. Faarooq looks terrible imo, i also hate the fact they went for this attire instead of the Acolytes. It would have fit perfect with the new DM Taker. Also Bradshaw... first time in line? They said that last time

The painted on shirts on the APA doesn't bother me because they never took of their shirts when they were the APA, they wrestled with their shirts on

i will get apa, rose, and reigns. dont mind farooq's head scan but the skin tone being way off on his first figure is a huge disappointment. will wait til i see macho and bryan in person before i decide.

Boy, usually I don't join in on complaining but Simmons is friggin horrible. Rose looks off without the accessories. I like Macho but would have loved his elite 23 scan and a shirt. Reigns looks like trash. Something about that scan just looks horrible. Bradshaw..... I'll be picking up a couple of. I really like the accessories with APA. Rose obviously needed his accessories as well. Reigns barricade and extra vest seem overdone in the way of accessories. I would imagine we could have skipped on those and gotten a shirt with Macho. Overall not the worst set I suppose I've seen but far from excellent. I have this great fear that Machos paint is going to be horrible to find well done and clean. I bet we have to dig through them to find good paint apps.

I'm not really sure how to feel about this set... judging by the lineup it still shocks me that Daniel Bryan is probably the best figure in the set. Shocks me even more that it is closely followed by the Roman Reigns: Few things that are really bugging me/am annoyed about though. Firstly, I REALLY love the Macho Man attire they picked for this figure, but feel cheated by the lack of a jacket. Also it upsets me that this is based off the Mega Powers because we will never get the Hulk to go with it Secondly, I was also looking forward to the APA. I just can't look past the shirt on Bradshaw though! I can't find a single picture where he wore the shirt with sleeves, which makes me ask what made Mattel do that!? The only figures I will definitely buy are Reigns and Bryan, maybe a Macho Man...

I'm more excited about the apa accessories than the figures. Awesome Daniel Bryan too

Like the painted on shirts, actually. JBL looks like Diesel here.

I like the set, but they definitely could have done better. I agree with a lot of the previous comments. No shirt on Macho Man and painted shirts on APA are my biggest gripes.

Why do people like tht Farooq? Why will you buy it? What is good about it? His hips match his waist? Well they effed tht on Bradshaw....
PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOU WILL BUY APA OTHER THAN YOU PROBABLY WONT GET ANOTHER FOR AWHILE. (Acessories arent worth $20-$40)

To say we have Elite APA because Mattel will be hard headed/stubborn and not put out Acolytes (and admit the APA figures sucked!!) So basically to add two APA figs to the shelf and if you're lucky you just glance at them and don't look at them too closely!!!

Yes, that's the reason I will be buying them, just to have them, definitely not for looks...

I'll still buy macho and apa. But the jacket for macho would have killed it.

That Adam Rose face looks like Corbin. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks Mattel made that scan to use for a future Corbin. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I don't think that's a conspiracy theory at all. I KNOW Mattel will use that scan for Corbin.
