To be honest I'm kinda slowing down with these as of late and getting into other lines. I love Mattel but there hasn't been much coming out to get me excited. Repaints, straight rereleases n these lackluster Dms just don't justify it. Not to mention the product itself is lacking on tv. Just a bad combo as a wrestling collector. Give us what we want and we'll pay for it. These half complete Macho man figs with no shirt, Bret Harts with no leather jackets n elbow pads listed on boxes as accessories just aren't cutting it. U want $25 release another savage with a cloth fringe coat. this all

Great fig but as others have said, it really doesn't live up to the title or price.

A simple "I'll pass on this DM figure" would work. Why whine and throw a fit like a little kid? The way I see it, ill pass. And it will save me money and a break from all the figures that have came out as of late.

It is a prototype, though it may look complete it's not. There is a chance to change.

so anyway.....nice to get a new, albeit old, scan for Cena. word life knucks are a cool accessory shirt is whatever
it almost makes me wonder if mattel is trying to kill the DM concept because they realize it's just not working anyway, but they have a certain amount to fulfill with a contract.
because there's no way some suit was sitting back thinking "yeah we'll put a plastic tank top and these cool knuckle things with a new cena and charge em $25....watch the profits soar!" and there's absolutely NO WAY that a new accessory like those knuckle things cost mattel $200,000 to produce or whatever number they said it is to create new parts. so i really want to know what exactly is the reason for the cost of DMs? because it's definitely NOT "premium products"
but again, ill be doing what i've done with the last few DMs and with the new Warrior wait for Amazon or even Ringside to sell it for $15 or less, and treat it like a regular elite. And I never wanted the DM line back in the first place, so if it goes away again it won't be soon enough. Aside from Flair & Sting there hasn't been a single DM released since the re-launch that couldn't have been a regular Elite Flashback.

Something to keep us excited. Taking an early elite Cena giving him a plastic tank n knucks ain't enough. i fully doubt you'd buy another Cena considering all you ever do with him is doing skits on why he sucks just a heads up?

If we can get flashback Cenas as a DM, there better be a Legend Killer Orton DM coming fast.

Have the Cenas I'll ever want or need but if I can find this cheap enough I'll buy for parts to improve/add to these

MattelDesignTeam : Did Jeremy Padawer help design this one? Let's hold out and put this, Lana, another dark Faarooq, Bradshaw with the pants too wide for the torso, and Sting with the Batista torso in the next series with these guys!

There might be very little that is good about this figure. And it may be in no way shape or form deserving of a spot in the DM line and the price tag that goes with it BUT BUT BUT to all those that are pissing and moaning and saying "cancel the DM line" - HOW'S ABOUT YOU ALL S.T.F.U!!!

I'm down with a Doctor of Thuganomics Cena but this no bueno. Terrible rubber jersey, no padlock and chain and that new scan looks horrible.

I'd rather have a DM HBK from The Rockers breakup on The Barber Shop

Can't wait to see what MattelDesignTeam has to say about this if anything at all.
