just got my order of Elite 39 from Ringside today, despite some flaws its a really awesome set of figures.
before I get into the figure reviews, wanted to show a few pictures of what the new packaging looks like, I personally like it a lot, it stands out and I welcome the change. I love the little details of having era-specific logos for each superstar, very nice touch by Mattel.

Damien Mizdow
Glad I didn't buy the Basic Mizdow, didn't care that much for the gimmick, but the Elite is pretty cool, I think I just feel bad for Sandow's career at this point so I can't get too excited about his figure lol. My figure has a few smudges on the back presumably from the coat, but nothing acetone can't fix.
Dolph Ziggler
The shirt is awful, just awful, I'm going to put 1 of his old vests on it to display because the shirt is gigantic. I still can't get over how over-sized Dolph is, drives me crazy they continue to use this mold for him. There was nothing wrong with his original Elite body.

and your girlfriend(s)!
Sting
Man, this figure is really disappointing, the head is really strange, I love the jacket, I like the gloves, but this just wasn't what I was expecting and obviously its been a source of a lot of anger on here. I think if Sting in a red shirt would have been a Walmart t-shirt figure I would be okay, but there's no reason it should have been Elite. Needed to be WM 31 attire, just the way I feel.
Psycho Sid
I don't agree with the upper body choice at all, the lack of chest hair is annoying also. With that being said I kind of dig the scan, although I can see why people would not care for it. At the end of the day, I'm happy to have a Psycho Sid in my collection.
British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith
Just an amazing figure, I am thrilled we got this. I really don't care for the Legends 3 Bulldog, especially since I had to buy 3 of them if I remember correctly because they kept breaking. This one more than makes up for the Legends figure. This is now 1 of my favorite Flashbacks.
The Godfather
I have a soft spot in my heart for the Attitude Era guys, so I was stunned when I first heard we were getting a Godfather figure, doesn't exactly seem PG oriented! Just an awesome figure, the accessories are great and this like Bulldog, is now 1 of my favorite flashback figures.
"PIMPIN' AIN'T EASY IN THE PG ERA"
"its time for everyone, to climb aboard the HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRAIN!"
"Godfather, this is the PG Era, there is no place for ho's here! GET OUT OF MY RING!"
"Steph, there is definitely a place for hos in the PG era... just look at you, you're a filthy, dirty, disgusting, brutal, bottom feeding, trash bag...
"HOOOOOOO!!!!"
