cloth towels/scarfs at this scale looks bad, so I'm happy they went with plastic - but damn that's a big @$$ beach towel. Toybiz did a really cool shoulder towel mold for Samoa Joe when he was in TNA. I have it on my Mr. Perfect. I recommend getting that!

Joe was a pre-order sight-unseen figure for me, because it's Joe. And I knew Mattel would go Red/Black like 99% of their figures. But I am a little disappointed that it's basically a re-use of Brock's shorts. Yes I know, the mold exists and we've seen a million Samoa Joe customs using that part. Was hoping they'd go the extra mile and have a new sculpt more true to what he actually wears. That aside, it's fantastic to actually have an official Mattel Samoa Joe...and eventually an AJ Styles! Dude look at him again, he has almost 100% new parts. The torso, crotch, shorts and knees are brand new parts. All look incredible. |

Maybe I'm crazy but... Joe doesn't have Brock's shorts... Maybe the crotch piece but definitely not the shorts. |

Looks like all new parts for Joe besides the Harper arms and maybe the kickpads?

My first impression of Joe is a disappointment. Hopefully it looks better in hand, which happens quite often.
I think the hip (top of legs) look undersized. Joe was high on my want list, too.

I don't see Joe at all in the scan. Getting Hart and Anvil from this set.

Really disappointed with Joe and Owens. More than likely canceling my pre orders. Man this sucks  |

I don't see Joe at all in the scan. There's definitely Joe in the sculpt, but the paint is so basic. Just Sharpie everywhere. |

Looks like a great set to me.
I love my hart foundation, thanks bill!
I only buy flashbacks but that Owens looks nice. The Kofi looks cool too and even the del rio figure doesn't look like it'll warm shelves.
Only wish was that AE Bossman was in this series.

Very happy with Joe and Anvil. Bret, while still serviceable and i will buy, still seems to suffer a rather nondescript passing resemblance facial sculpt. Still, its not a bad looking figure. Owens is ok, but nothing groundbreaking ,ADR could've at least had a new headsculpt, but that is also fine, cause it means i can pass on him. Lol. Kofi looks good, so he'll make the cut as well. Overall I'll be getting 5/6 of these. Not too shabby.

To reiterate, my big issue with Joe is the shorts. They're too skinny and too long. You should be able to see some of Joe's leg between the ends of the shorts and the knee pad. This makes them seem more like KO.
It blows my mind that they keep using these arms for KO when the Harper arms would be perfect for him.

Hate to say it but I canceled my po for Bret n anvil. Not that they are bad but I can wait a few extra weeks for them. Not worth the premium price to me.

Joe's beard is weird but other than that, it's Samoa Joe and I will definitely buy because you don't know how long I wanted for an official elite of his. Bret's scan is the smirking, cocky heel sumbitch from his Hart Foundation days. Anvil, while not beefier, is muy bueno. I see Owens is not fat again. Guess that is how WWE wants him to be once he stops eating junk food all of the time.
