Agreed- I loved the ones you mentioned and was underwhelmed by this latest series.

Wrong. Edge and Booker are both awesome figures and those who missed out on Steel and Jake the first time can now have a chance at them.

Those who missed out on him the first time, like myself, can go buy him on EBay MOC for LESS than $10. Steele is gonna rot on shelves. I got my Legends Steele for $6.99 MOC.

I figure Mattel went with that color choice for Jake because it's as close as they can get to the WrestleMania 8 tights. They can't do the tights with the woman on them so they went with another white attire. I for one am waiting to see someone to do a WMania fix up with this figure.
Booker T is a figure that I've heard people want another Elite release of for a while. I guess some missed out on his first Elite since it was earlier in the line.
There's been a lot of people wanting Camo Edge, however I think most wanted the purple version.
George Steele is a bit of an odd choice. But I never got the original, so if I can find this one for a decent price (hopefully on sale) I'll buy it.
Also, I hate to be 'that guy'.......
There's already a thread about HOF 4 and this could have easily went in the existing thread.......Just playin' lol. I've never been 'that guy', just wanted to see how that feels lol.

Edge is the only one I'm definitely planning on buying. I have the first King Booker, George Steele, and I don't feel like I need another Jake elite.

That lineup is not HOF4, at least not the final lineup.

Edge's tights are sweet but he needs a head swap. Same could be said for Jake's tights but he needs a torso swap. Booker is great for the "but but but I wasn't collecting crowd" and Steele is the biggest waste of space since Mattel has gotten the line.
No new characters and they couldn't even get Edge in purple camo. This set is going to rot like garbage for months on end. But good for the 50 of you who missed out on Booket T and didn't want him bad enough to buy him off eBay. So yeah, I agree with the OP. Terrible set.

You think Tito is warming, wait for that George Steele to hit the shelves. No one bought him in the Legends line. Six years later he can still be found in the secondary market pretty cheap.

I am ok with Edge and Jake to a certain point, jake should have been 96 run with vest and yellow snake. Edge's head scan as usual for him is awful.
now for the 2 wasted spots Booker and Steele, why not any 2 other hall of famers, a manager and a first time in the line or something.

That means they can fix Jake's torso back to the original on hopefully I don't see why all the complaints, regardless of who's in the series they are all solid figures. I get some people don't "need" or "want" one or the other but when isn't that the case in like 80% of released series. My only complaint is that I really wish Booker would of had a different scan or at least shorter hair, I'd even settle for the BAF head on an Elite body. Everyone should have a chance to get a figure they want and maybe there is someone out there whose holy grail is The Animal or some kid that really like Booker T has been calmering for that attire, who am I to say what can or can't Warrener a release for a figure, I for one will be supporting the HOF line and buying the hell out of these come time of release

The Book-Man is better than his previous Elite, it pops more than his white attire

MDT, always the tease. It would be cool if he fully answered a question just once.
As far as the HOF 4 line-up goes, if there are figures I don't want or already have (George Steele), I just won't buy them. Why should this create such internet nerd rage?
I have only seen HOF 3 at one of five Target stores around me. I've only seen one Jimmy Hart once. While HOF 2 Tito rots the pegs. That's more troubling to me than whatever HOF 4 will be months down the road.
