I picked up Cena from the bay for $17.99 shipped. It's a comfortable price considering it was below elite retail. I want to say that I always planned on picking this one up, so I personally would have bought this at retail. This figure is kind of like the Network Exclusive Ringmaster in that it's better in hand. I like the new head sculpt. There was some paint rub near his eyes. I did the best to clean mine up. You can see Cena's 2004 likeness very well. The "Word Life" knuckles and visor are great and adds some posing options. The rubber shirt works well for this figure, so I'm not too upset about it not being cloth. However, I would have liked and rubber Word Life arm band and a spinner US Belt if I were to pay full retail, plus the carding says he won the US belt on the box (that's being knit-picky though). I know Cena is a polarizing character today, but anyone who grew up watch Cena grow into the 15 time champ he is, should appreciate the figure representation of a time period where the vast majority of wrestling fans loved the blue brand and Cena's character. Pro+ Face Sculpt Posing Options Cons+ Decent Price Point No US Spinner Belt   |

Thanks for the review! Really like the comparison pic from real life to the figure. You may have just sold me on it  |

I'm still not convinced with his face but I like the rest of the figure. I will buy it but I will swap his head.

Saw him at Tru today. I liked the face scan much more than I had originally from the internet photos. I also liked the painted on armband because that piece is so fragile.
I don't like the use of the old legs, where they bend in the jorts rather than the newer sculpted knee.
Price point is a little too much though for what is essentially another elite Cena with word life rings.

If you paid $18 total for this figure, its a good elite figure/set.
If you paid $25+ for this figure its not a good deal. Maybe for diehard collectors or cena fans they are ok with this.
I am not ok with this or the last several defining moment figures that have been anything but.
Quite simply mattel needs to end the defining moment line for good. Its giving them an excuse to charge an extra $7+ and not a very good excuse either.

I'll wait for Amazon to hit 13.99 haha Sting (not crow) and Taker have both dropped that low and it those are fantastic price point. I did this review purely for the figure (plus, I just learned how to greed screen and do so video editing). I remember all the bashing; mainly because it was a figure taking up a spot in a line that's sole purpose is to milk the WWE elite brand. Still, the figure itself is solid and doesn't warrant the hate it gets. I'm a firm believe that DM2.0 is a failed line-up, as every figure (aside from Crow Sting) I have purchased at between $14-$20 shipped. |

I like a lot about this figure. I wish they didn't go back to the old molds, and the shirt is terrible. Probably will get it when it's cheap on Amazon or an RSC sale. Thanks for the review!

I like the figure, just not the price point, and knowing how most dms sit on shelves for awhile, I'll have plenty of time to pick this up

Grabbed him on the bay for the same price. I honestly think it will be under $10 on amazo one point. Prob on blk Friday.
Figure is decent. The tank sucks n is impossible to close up.

Love this figure after picking mine up yesterday. Im not really mad at the fact there was no spinner us title becase we just got one last year with that tru exclusive of debut cena.
My only gripes are the fact there is a painted on armband when most cena elites comes with a removable one as an accessory and i would have liked for the jersey to say "chain gang soldier"

I'm not sold on this figure
I don't know if it's the face or just because it's Cena, but this may be the first DM I don't get 😕

I saw it at TRU yesterday, looks awesome in person, but not worth $20. I bet next month it would be $12 on Amazon.

When the price is right, I will grab this. It looks pretty nice. Thanks for the review! Definitely should have come with the Spinner US Title.

If they ended DM that would mean 4 less flashbacks a year so no I want it to continue. If you don't like the selection then just pass. Plenty of other product.
