This doesnt need to be its own thread.

Likes:
Ultimate Warrior and Papa Shango look fantastic

Boogeyman overall great figure, love the accessories

New DDP headscan

Diesel looks great, gonna get it for the scan

Dislikes: Not much stuff that really interested me, wanted more WCW stuff and fb

-No Black trunks Luger, Billy Kidman, fb RVD, Red Drip Hall, WCW Jericho, '98 fb elite Sting (my holy grail, do not get me started on the basic Sting shown), lack of future Stings and elite jeans DDP

New HBK doesn't have kneepads or proper boots as well as new scan ( they could of easily retooled the WM 14 into a ponytail)

Wanted to see a Roman in red vest with beard (I know it's too early)

Ministry Taker didn't at least have retooled loose hair

I really want Mattel to start giving us tall breakable ladders, I don't know what gives

Oh right I forgot about that. Wrestlemania 12 Shawn is a huge want for me too

It sucks that the kneepad thing on Shawn are becoming a trend. I have the entrance greats, so I could easily swap but it really does complete the look.

What if they just split the ladder in the packaging would it not fit?

Because you were so nice I will tell you mine again.

The good:

Asuka turned out great.

Both new Balors are great.

DM Nakamura is a huge surprise and gives me hope we will get a DM Charlotte from WM32 with a robe and the new Women's Championship.

The Bad:

Tamina. Jesus Christ it is terrible. It's a straight repaint of her last figures body which is way too thin. Waste of a spot, waste of a female figure, and will shelf warm like crazy. Shouldve been a new Foxy.

Carmella. Why arent more people outraged at the color of her hair? She has been blonde for years, and it just doesnt look like her. Why Mattel? WHY?

Likes:
The Boogeyman - been waiting for this figure for forever and so pleased they went with a different face paint then red. Hopefully we get a basic too.

Enzo/Cass Battle Pack - With elites coming out I think this will be easier to find at retail. Enzo's head is incredible.

American Alpha - Jason Jordan looks incredible and I can't wait to see their first elites.

Revival - They look awesome and I hope they come with nxt tag titles and not rubber towels or something like that.

Defining Moments Ric Flair - I had the jakks figure, but this one is so much better. I hope he doesn't have a six pack though.

Shinsuke Nakamura - Cool to see him get a new torso for his 1st figure. Head looks very accurate too.

Network Spotlight Balor - This figure has it all and is the most accurate figure seen at ringside rest. It should be the ringside exclusive, but at least it will be at retail.

Legend Killer Randy Orton - I'm blown away by this figure. I'm so happy we are finally getting this era of him. I'd prefer colored trunks, but I'm just happy we are getting one.

Apollo Crews elite - So much better than his first basic and I like how they gave him the Ezekiel Jackson torso.

Cactus Jack - Missed out on his rse and the flannel combines Foley personas which is cool.

Aj Styles and Kevin Owens Elite 47 - So refreshing, the universal title is something I didn't expect till next year.

I don't really have any dislikes since I don't collect divas.

Good:

Elites of Attitude Era Vince, Undertaker, and Corporate Bossman. Bossman and Taker are perfect
Asuka and Tatanka look great
Surprised that Nakamura will be the DM after Flair. He turned out amazing
Diesel looks amazing
Warrior/Shango look like a good two pack if for Warrior alone
Boogeyman is a work of art, even if his skin's a little dark
Finally a Legend Killer Orton

Bad:

Not feeling that basic DDP scan.
RSC Balor I'll be passing unless I get him loose (That shirt is hideous)
Even though I marked out for an Elite AE Vince, I would have liked a tanktop under his shirt. Not a dealbreaker
No Beefcake or Enzo yet (Though Cass looks pretty nice)

I would't say there was anything I "Disliked", wouldn't buy, yes.

As far as basics, only Slaughter and Sting. What happened to the Warrior with no face paint?

Elites had a lot more wants for me;

• Corporate Boss Man, way better face sculpt. Doesn't look like John Goodman in Big Labowski.
• Tatanka
• Cactus Jack
• Flash Back/Legend Killer/Spiked Hair Randy Orton
• HOF 5, want all of em, well maybe not George Steel. Jake's torso choice is a bit odd , Piper's sculpt looks great and should come with something besides kilt, Diesel looks awesome.
• HOF 2-pack Warrior!!!!!
• TRU Vince!!!
• WM 12 HBK, sweet, but hate the head, going to be swapping.
• DM Flair

Likes: Every damn thing

Dislikes: Nothing.

That was oversimplified, but I think nothing looked bad.

I was really stoked on how much love Samoa Joe is getting, Elite non-demon Balor as well as new Elite demon paint. That new headscan! And speaking of headscan, most improved (if not flat-out perfected) goes to Kevin Owens. Finally, I can be psyched about an Owens figure! Apollo Crews, Tatanka, and the two new Big Cass figures look amazing. I love 'tank' figures.

Maybe the biggest thing I was glued to pics for was to see if they would change AJ Styles from having painted skin tone and they indeed fixed it. Now I can preorder one without worrying it'll look awful like every d-bry with painted skin always looks.
