What a terrible set. 4 rereleaes? Way to stick it to collectors again especially if they paid out the nose for King Booker the first time. Is Mattel really just gunna keep releasing everything that has some kind of value? That's how you make money. Honestly, if you pay a lot more money than you should for a figure, and then Mattel releases a similar one, it's your fault. Mattel can easily cash in on the demand for figures like King Booker, Big Boss Man, and (if they want) Diesel/Nash.

The important thing is that Bill listened to that Red Hood guy and gave him some kind of camo Edge. Good on you, Mattel. I have none of those figures, so i'm pretty excited to see King Booker and another Edge! Getting both of those guys, as for George and Jake, I can live without. I can see why people are mad about these repaints, I would be too if i already had them. Good set for me overall.

All of those originally released before I started collecting so I'll pick up all 4. And from the looks of everyone else's reaction, should be pretty easy to find them all. Exactly my thought. Less collectors trying to get them, more for us!

I know it's not exactly accurate based on camo Edge but if this comes with a Rated R spinner I'd be VERY content

These things are massed produced. So the first releases aren't rare. Even the first King Booker or whoever. Releasing repaints is a good way to get collectors who weren't collecting until perhaps after or maybe even never got a good chance to get the initial figure to actually get these. I don't like the finders keepers crybaby attitude towards re-releases and repaints. So you paid a ridiculous amount trying to play catch up now they're releasing a repaint. It's apart of the game. EVERYONE deserves chances at these figures. People need to quit being so damn selfish over these little plastic wrestling men.

DAAMMMMMNNN SOOO CLOSE TO WRESTLEMANIA 8 JAKE ROBERTS !!!! I'll buy all 4 if we ever see them LOL but yeah I don't have an elite Jake Roberts I never got George The Animal Steele and I only have a loose version of Booker and I'm not a huge Edge guy but I will get him because I respect him I 100% agree with this ! So glad they put these guys in series 4 and my Koko B Ware is rumored to be in E43 !!! Well, whichever one of us finds them first, gotta look out for each other. My Target still hasnt seen a trace of HOF 3 or the Heenan Family :/

I dig that Edge and I'll pick one up. Jake and Booker are good for people who don't already have their elites, but man, George Steele is going to warm hard. His legends figure isn't exactly sought after or expensive either. Tons of better options were available as repaints.
I also just a couple weeks ago sacrificed my E14 King Booker to make an 2002ish Booker T with the WrestleMania basic lol.

I wish there was at least one "first time in the line" guy, but I've spent a shirt ton of money these past two months catching up and buying old legends figs, so I could use the break.I might get the Booker T, but would have hoped for Harlem Heat attire. So that being said, I might not get any of these.

So is there any idea of when these should be releasing? I'm guessing in Fall. Can't wait to see more of these figures at Comic Con!

I'm actually glad I don't want any of these. There are plenty of awesome new guys coming out soon: surfer Sting DM, Jim the Anvil, Nasties, Koko B. Ware, Tugboat, Magnum TA, etc. No reason for any flashback collector to complain.

3/4 aint bad. I love these HoF sets. Ill probably pass on Edge except maybe for fodder. Dont have Booker, Steele, and only Legends Jake, so these are all welcome.
I still firmly believe e13 Edge needs a redux. Rated R has been done so much more.

I'm selling the original King Booker Elite if anyone's interested.

A fairly bland set of repaints this go round. Edge is never getting a good scan I suppose. Elite 1 had a good face, which I think is the base for this one, but the hair looks like it hovers over his scalp. This looks even more disconnected because of the chocolate pudding beard.

I understand Edge, Booker & Jake they sell well. Don't get Steele though, even on the secondary market he doesn't sell for much more than retail. At least a peg warmer like Tito was a first release figure.

The way that Mattel has been recently releasing figures with RSE or very hard to find belts as of late has been very pleasing. It's like that first day of Spring, when the weather is just right, no clouds in the sky, and you take a nice inhale outdoors and you go 'everything is going to be alright." Its a bit like that, but less dramatic.
