Legends Demolition Axe Good: The likeness and the face paint are spot on, helmet and a vest too. a very good looking Elite overall. Bad: Only one thing I can think of is he is bit shorter than Smash, and if I am not mistaken they were around the same hight Rating: 9.5/10 Smash Good: Excellent face paint, hair, and likeness is great. Bad: not a big fan of a screaming heads on figures in general, even though this one is the least offender. Rating: 8.5/10 Demolition set Rating: 9/10 Next user reviews Elite 23 Triple H

Elite 33 Cesaro This figure is pretty plain with the white and black theme, and painted on leg wraps. Headscan is decent, but what really makes this figure is the Andre the Giant Battle Royal trophy! In the end, I much rather have elite 23 Cesaro with a better likeness and removable leg wraps Next person gets... Defining Moments 2016 Ultimate Warrior

Defining Moments Ultimate Warrior (2016)
A figure that has been met with varying opinions. Without being too bias, I do like the figure very much, it features a new headsculpt (though, Im not sure about the hair), New Sunglasses mold, new tassle mold, AND a new wristband mold. Lots of new little touches to a figure of a character who, despite being so colorful, used alot of the same accessories (tassles and boot tassles)for all of his figures until this DM release. The Attire is colorful (it's UW, duh), well-detailed and nicely brought to life from a very short-lived moment in his career tagging with the Macho Man. Now despite all these pros, it does have it fair share of cons. The torso of the figure is NOT molded in skin tone, instead it is molded in red and THEN the flesh color is added to the figure and does seem very apparent when the figure is in certain light. Throws the figure off a bit when the arms and leg colors don't match the torso. Another con is the fact its in the Defining Moments line. The DM line is meant for figures with more detail, more accessories and is catered to the more adult collector which is suppose to justify it's higher price point (which is $25+) but this figure comes with only ONE accessory, Sunglasses. While I did mention the figure is very colorful, unfortunately it's only ONE color, Red. The Red is very vibrant but it's also accented with yellow but for a character such as the Ultimate Warrior, He's had a TONS more colorful outfits than this one. I understand wanting to release it along with a maching Macho Man (say that 3 times fast!) but not at the Defining Moments line and price point. Definitely pick this up ONLY if you're getting the Macho Man to go with it OR if you're a big Warrior fan as I am. But also wait to buy it at a sale price or way below retail if you can online.
Pros: Vibrant Great new attire pieces Attire is replicated well
Cons: Price point not justifiable Minimal accessories (just sunglasses, really?) Factory choices (painted skintone not good)
Figure 8/10 (wish he did have an expression) Attire 7/10 Packaging 7/10 (Love the Brick wall insert but the blurb on the back is a letdown, understandibly so)
Overall 7/10

Elite 18 Brodus Clay:
Good- The figure's tattoo details look good and despite being a larger figure compared to most elites, he still has a good range of motion overall. Cloth accessories instead of rubber. The head scan also suits him.
Bad- The ab crunch seem a little awkward at times and slight hollowness between it makes the figure feel a bit cheap in effect. There was once a single elite 18 Brodus Clay at the start of this year at my local K mart!
Rating- 6/10
Next figure: Elite 35 Randy Orton

Elite 35 Randy Orton

Bad: should of been grey with the black wrist tape but of course it was to match bluetista

The Heenan Family Hall of Fame Set Andre the Giant Good: first time that head is used on an elite Andre, and a dark blue painted singlet. overall it captures is 89-90 period very well Bad: they should have went with a cloth sinlget instead, should have been a little bit bigger Rating: 8/10 Mr. Perfect Good: Finally we have an elite perfect that is properly scaled, orange/black singlet was a good choice from 1990 Bad: Mattel keep giving BLONDE wrestlers ginger hair, with perfect being one of the worst cases. I had to make a headship with legends perfect that has the right hair color. Oh and no towel either. Rating: 6.5/10 Big John Studd Good: Its a first time in the line flashback/legend, a great likeness here for the late wrestler and is properly scaled. The best figure of study that has ever been made to date imo. Bad: Should have really been a solo release with a robe for accessory. Rating: 9/10 Bobby Heenan Good: another first time in the line flashback/legend, excellent face lioness and a very good choice for WM 3 attire. Bad: only complaint is that he should have been a bit shorter as he is a bit too tall, and the Brain deserved to be a solo release instead of his figure debuting in 4 pack. Rating : 9.5 / 10 The Heenan set as a whole Good: Two first time in the line talents, all figures have good parts overall. Bad: Not sure if someone noticed this before, but none of the wrestlers in this set were part of the Heenan family during the same time. Oh this is only sold at your friendly nighborhood target. Overall Set Rating: 8/10 Next person reviews RSC Exclusive "ECW" CM Punk

RSC Exclusive "ECW" CM Punk Good: Nice attire, ECW belt looks excellent, great to get an extra microphone, nice packaging Bad: Rubber T-shirt is frustrating. A not-quite-right headscan. Not bad, but doesnt work from all angles and I'd rather it wasn't smiling Overall: 7/10 Next person review HOF Series 3 Million Dollar Man

Elite 10 Kane
Good: Career commemorating moment for the big red machine. Includes Smackdown MItB briefcase and World Heavyweight title to reflect both his ladder match victory and his World title cash in that night. Great head sculpt here. More often than not, Kane gets serious or teeth nashing type scans, I've always liked this one more unique personality.
BAD: I can't really think of too much to complain about on the figure, but a complaint that still stands today, is the size of this,and the other, MitB cases. It just seems overly bulky and wide. The only other downside is there wasn't a whole lot of variety in terms of Kane attires from this period, so your mileage in that department can vary between a few different Kanes released in the Elite and Basi lines from 09-10.
Overall: 8.5/10

Elite 4 Finlay Good: The only figure of Finlay that Mattel has made, nice vest and stick accessories, scaled well and has great part choices overall. Bad: would have preferred a more serious none cringing face, when worn the vest completely removes the left arm articulation Rating: 8 / 10 Next user reviews Elite 33 Batista "Bluetista"

Elite 33 "Bluetista"
Good: Great new torso for an "older" Batista. Great headscan with a lot of attention to detail (they included his bald-spot). Tattoos are great as well. Hat is a cool accessory that can be used on others figs like Zayn.
Bad: Kneepads, leggings, tights, and shoes are lacking a lot of detail, and are the wrong shades of blue. Vest is a solid blue and he never wore a vest of that color.
Score: 8/10 (I'm a huge Batista fan so if I'm not biased I can see general collectors giving it a 6-7/10).
Next up - Ringside Exclusive Kevin Nash.

Elite 39 Dolph Ziggler Good: The scan is great as it captures a heel looking DZ very well. white IC title is a good addition Bad: The shirt is not a good fit, he is too jacked in the arms and legs. could of gone for a better attire, he is a bit too tall as well.

Elite 7 Shawn Michaels Good: Excellent detail on the camo style DX gear, nice accessories CLOTH shirt, glow stickes and cowboy hat. Looks great alongside hhh from the same series representing their final DX run from 2009. Bad: he could of used some facial and chest hair, but they gave him the same head as the DM and Elite 3 hbk's. would of have liked the hat to be like the one he is wearing in the pic on the box.

Hall of Fame Series 1 Sgt. Slaughter
The good: I had missed the L1 Slaughter. This is the iconic look we all wanted. Plenty of accessories. Great headsculpt and excellent torso.
The bad: Legs were a bit stiff on mine. The legs also just seem a bit too long, it makes the overall look suffer some. Not awful by any stretch.
Score: 8/10
Anyway, keepin' it old old school, next up, Elite 2 Ted Dibiase Jr.
