So based on the display shown, what were your likes, dislikes or thoughts from this years up coming figures?
Likes: Legend Killer Orton (After this I'll be satisfied with not buying another Randy. This was my dream look) HOF Diesel (when I find that I'll be happy to sell my other Elite Diesel) RSC Exclusive Finn Balor DM Nakamura Kalisto (because it looks like they scaled him to the right size compared to his previous elite. Am I right or wrong?) Ultimate Warrior Elite
Dislikes: RSC Exclusive Finn Balor - the he doesn't have wrist tape on right hand. No Enzo Elite shown - I wonder which look it would be. (Is it bad that I only want an Enzo Elite and not Big Cass) Ultimate Warrior 2 pack - I didn't like that figures is in a 2 pack with Papa Shango, since I already have an elite Shango.

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

Breakable ladder seems like the only plausible thing, now that the box is smaller. It doesn't seem can they can fit a tall ladder like the one that came with Elite Slater.

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?

This doesnt need to be its own thread. I appreciate your two cents, and welcome to the thread. 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

I realize that my disappointments are purely because of my own preferences. But I was/am super disappointed by this ringside fest. I am an elite flashback from pre2000 collector. I was shown tatanka and bossman - ok those look cool I'll buy them. I was shown cactus jack which I've already seen before. Ok - I'll buy it. I was shown the wild Samoans which I've already seen. I'll pass on them. I was shown a rerelease of papa shango and yet another ultimate warrior. I'll pass on them. I was shown hof5 diesel which I've already seen and a sweet piper surprise. I'll buy them both surely. But the other two hof5 figures I've already seen and are disappointing. I'll pass on those 2. I've gotten used to the rsc exclusives and Defining moments figures being flashbacks. I was expecting a dm macho man but I'll have to pass again on the dm line and pass on the next rsc exclusive too. We didn't see any new TNF elites. I was shown another flashback undertaker. I'll only buy it because of the robe. I wish the HHH DX basic was an elite. The ddp basic is another bad scan.
The one pleasant surprise was the network spotlight Vince McMahon. I'm happy about it even though it wasn't a major want. I wish it had a singlet mold underneath.
Boo hoo me. The figures shown were nice looking I'll admit. I'm just a little scared there's more of a trend now for the current elites.

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.

Dislikes: DDP with orange hair Alexa with molded unpainted straps Brocks horrible head scan being reused with a horrible Ambrose head scan Hall & Nash being directly re-released? Jason Jordan looks Haitian skintone Big Boss Man skinny upper arms/shoulder to head distance looks all off Asuka making this stupid grin on an otherwise great figure. She looks like Fabrico Werdum. Ambrose and his cheetos mouth Everyone pretending to be stoked on Legend killer Orton, even though its not the trunks color they want. Big Cass' Elite upper thighs reminds me of the awful Jakks UFC figures, hope this is just a bad prototype. Jake's body from doing a lot of DDP Yoga. Super ripped arms on Stone Cold I think the Wild Samoans will either be hard to find, or our next Titos with no in between.
