- Name a Mattel Elite style figure from the Elite, DM, Legends, HOF,... lines with a score rating from 1 - 10, mention what you like and/or don't like about it. - Name an Elite figure for the next user to review and score. I suggest elites only, as basics are way too many and are not that high end. - It would be nice for the next user to post a pic of the Elite style figure being reviewd - I ll start, and i ll go with WWE Network TRU HBK  Good: A very colorful attire and highly requested HBK figure from SummerSlam 1995. He has stomach hair this time, has good body parts overall and spot on scale wise. It stands out on the shelf. Bad: Where do I start, this HBK was an easy choice as a DM with entrace hat/vest/chaps and shiny IC title. instead we get a midget ladder accessory, and a head choice that I am not that fond of. oh and no knee pads. a missed opportunity really.

I like this thread a lot. Not sure how well it'll do because im pretty sure there is something similar in banter but its alright...
E23 Macho Man :
Good : Beautiful attire which also includes a pretty spot on headscan which was only used once. Too make matters even better it includes a belt.
Bad : I would personally say nothing. Everything is spot on to make it a near perfect figure just no reason for it in my collection..
Rating : 9/10
Next Figure : RSC Steve Austin

DM Shawn Michaels
Good: Captures a true defining moment, beautiful ring attire, entrance attire made of cloth, scan is dead on with how he looked at that time.
Bad: In the box his hat is tipped back on his head, takes away from the whole vibe of the moment this figure is capturing. Still, that has no bearing on the actual figure.
Rating: 10/10
Next guy, you rate Elite 34 Doink.

Elite 34 Doink
Good: Comes with 2 other hair options to pick and choose what era of Doink you pick which is a first with Mattel. I think the scan and attire was done great and no details were spared. Memorable character and this figure captured his entire WWE career.
Bad: The only thing that could have made this figure better is a jacket accessory, but the different wigs for Doink were a better choice.
Rating: 10/10
Next person, rate Elite 8 William Regal

Elite 8 William Regal
Good: Incredible face likeness that perfectly captures his villainous expression. And, one of the rare figures to have painted lips. He also has all of his tattoos, and comes with a very nice plastic robe that looks great on him. In my opinion, it's one of the top 10 Elite Mattel figures of all time.
Bad: There's really nothing bas about this figure. If you don't have it, get.

DM Crow Sting
Good: Everything you could have wanted out of a first mattel sting figure. Full fabric jacket/baseball bat accessories make this figure one of my favorites. Also a real defining moment which is great. Iconic figure for an Iconic wrestler.
Bad: Shelfwarming in my area... I couldn't think of anything else. Spot on figure.
Rate: 9/10, got me back into collecting

Elite 37 Seth Rollins  Good: Its the first post shield SR, head sculpt is decent, attire is ok and nice pair of breakable blocks. The plain black vest is a customizer dream. Bad: the kneepads stick out at the top in a very unrealistic way. The MIB briefcase is way too big that it looks more like a suit case. The TRU Seth that came out a couple of months after this is away better choice Rating : 7.5 / 10 Next user reviews Elite 27 Rob Van Dam |

Elite 27 RVD
Good : Its RV F'n D...
Bad : Everything... Lackluster Headscan with a Lackluster Attire. Unfortunately did no justice to one of my favorite wrestlers and a very much wanted figure throughout the Mattel line.
Rate : 6/10

Elite 40 Umaga
Good:Great Head Sculpt mattel nailed it and perfect body size for the bulldozer, cool accessory with the sarong and tattoos are done really well
Bad: Is there anything bad? What more could mattel have done, if there was a bad its we dont have enough guys from that timeline to go with him.

Rating 10/10 Next Figure Review: Elite 12 Justin Gabriel Only thing that comes to mind with Umaga is the figure was way too tall and his molded nose ring wasn't painted. Rest was awesome (although I would've preferred a younger Umaga with less tattoos). |

Elite 12 Justin Gabriel
Good: His first Elite; came with cloth Corre shirt; I might like the attire they chose
Bad: His only Elite; I don't have one; only figure to come with a Corre shirt; may have preferred a non-screaming headscan
Review: maybe a 9/10

Elite 13 Cody Rhodes:
The Good: The accessories. Fabric Hoodie, paper bag and mask. The scan is also decent, better than the previous elite. I like the colors on the attire a lot too.
The bad: The legs were too big for the small torso. No definition to the abs. The jacket stained a little and the arms had painted skin tone on them for no reason.
I'd give it a 6/10.
Next up, Elite 15 R-Truth

Elite 15 R-Truth  Good: This is only one of 2 Elite R-Truth's MDT putout in 6 years. This is the better verison imo, it has a great scan and a very cool vest. Bad: Well its a current low mid carder talent, and the face should have had a weird smile to better capture his Lil Jimmy phase that this figure is based on.

L1 Ricky Steamboat
Good: Good scan, one of his best attires, jacket and belt were the right accessories, and the scale is perfect.
Bad: Weak ankle joints plague the legends figures.

Elite 28 Crush
Good: We finish off the full Demolition team with this figure. Good selection for his face paint apps, includes an iconic Demolition helmet.
Bad: Although the headsculpt isn't bad, I'm not sure it really looks a whole lot like him. Thankfully his face is painted which covers most of that up. Other than that, my only nitpick with him is the same as the other two Demolition members, i would have liked to have seen the chaps included for full entrance gear.
Overall rating: 7.5/10

DM Rock
The good... nice shirt, nice glasses, although a bit cartoonish the headscan is class, it reminds me of the jakks fully loaded rock!
The bad....not a fan of the poor fitting bottoms, looks a bit baggy at top and tight at the ankles
Overall rating 7/10
