Flex Force
Flex Force Lighting
Super Strikers
Rumblers
Slam City
Power Slammers
Create-a-Superstar
Tough Talkers
I guess part of me wonders why Mattel keeps trying these gimmick lines when so many have come and gone. I'd like to think that they sell better than they seem to...but if they do, why do most of the lines only last a year or so?

The Bray Wyatt is great hope we get an Elite.
Wait why can this Kevin Owens have normal arms ? Yet the basic and elite have huge Lesnsr arms dammit !

I'd like to think that they sell better than they seem to...but if they do, why do most of the lines only last a year or so?Maybe because they are not designed for collectors, but for kids with a limited attention span? I think one of the reasons for this type of stuff is to get kids attention and then have them "graduate" to collecting Basics and Elites. Think of them as a gateway drug  If these lines were not fulfilling their purpose to Mattel, financial or strategic, they probably would have stop them years ago. That's my best guess. |

Seth looks pretty cool. If I was a big fan of his, I'd probably buy it. These seems like pretty standard fare for the flex force type lines where it's just a lesser quality figure with some sort of gimmick. Not a lot special about them. I'd be curious to see how good the voices are...

Sounds kind of cool I guess. I'd like to see a video of it. I won't be buying any though, I can already say that Same here. I don't have the funds for another line lol, but I can appreciate the work that went into it. These are kinda cool. Not really something I'm interested in now, but as a kid I would have loved these. I may buy Rollins though, so I can have a version of him in his entrance shirt. I've gotta give Mattel a compliment here..... No matter if its basics, elites, battle packs, flex force, super strikers, or now these tough talkers, Mattel has done an awesome job of making everything roughly the same scale and roughly the same unform design. That's awesome from a playing and displaying aspect, as all the figures look like they belong together. Yep. Almost like the Titan Tron Live concept, except without the drawbacks of scale differences. Note: When did Cena ever wear that hat? Is that real or just a photoshop? It would not surprise me at all if Mattel altered the look of Cena's hat on the packaging. Nice catch. When interacting with each other, does that mean they're all going to have phrases specific to each of the other figures in the series? Or generic taunts? If they have recorded ones specific to everyone, I'd be very interested in stuff like Bray interacting with Stone Cold. Great question. Generic taunts would be my guess. I will probably get Seth and if they ever make a Triple H, Orton or Sting I will get those as well. You may be in luck. There is a Triple H planned for a second round of 2-packs with Roman Reigns. AJ Styles and Seth Rollins will be the other 2-pack for Series 2; it was previously scheduled to be Ryback and Bray Wyatt. Series 2 singles will include three new figures (Big E, Kofi, and Xavier) and three repaints (Ambrose, Cena, and Lesnar). Can you remove the batteries because I would get the Rollins and Wyatt if so The batteries will need to be replaced at some point, so I don't see why they couldn't be removed permanently. I see these to be a step into the right direction. I wont be buying any, but I think kids will really like em. I definitely would have as a kid. I would LOVE to one day see them come to life like in the movie small soldiers and have them perform the moves on themselves. Just imagine the endless fun you could have with em. With all the technology we have today im sure one day itll happen. I think it would get rid of stop motion too. Just set them up in the ring and watch em go at it like on TV. Off topic, but movies like Small Soldiers and The Indian in the Cupboard were staples of my childhood. I'll never give up hope on the dream of making my wrestling figures come to life. This is a small step in the right direction.  Are these arms (specifically cena) on the new cenas figures and luger,devon? ?? It sure seems like it, although the arms on E46 Cena appear larger to me. |

I usually complain about anything Mattel puts out that isn't elite or basic figures. These still don't peak my interest nor will I be buying HOWEVER I'd rather see these on the shelves opposed to WWE Mutants and Zombies. "I don't want this, but it's okay if Mattel makes it. I don't want that, and it's not okay if Mattel makes it." Who died and made you Toy God? |
