Triple H looks fantastic to be honest but I'm passing because he didn't wear anything fancy entrance wise. Shawn I'm so and so on. I really wanted an elite version of this attire but here's some things I HATE about this figure. Why do they keep reusing that scan?? The ponytail is horrible and looks like a banana, the a retooled WM 14 would of worked wonders. No kneepads.... Yes I know Bill explained it but still that just sucks and it looks like the entrance great's might not match the gold on this one. Third but not lastly, it would be nice if they made a unique boot mold for Michaels or at the very least use the legion of doom's which are closer. This. I'm still going to buy HBK but you make very valid points. He desperately needs a new scan and unique boot mold. I've come to terms with the whole knee pad situation.

LostHawk05 Same. I will be buying the figure, I just hate incomplete and naked it looks without the kneepads. Would of definitely made the figure feel more complete. Just thought of an easy solution, why don't they just make the kneepads with the design and not include anything under? Wouldn't that work?

Hhh is too plain HBk I'm tempted by but really I don't feel the type of figure it is with lack of knee pads, boot mold or decent accessories is worth paying the premium price over a standard elite.
Disappointing...

Disappointing... pretty sure the last couple years wm elites been the same price as regular elites. definitely getting hbk. dont know about the hhh, got enuf short hair hhhs already. they need to make an elite main event hhh from attitude/ruthless agression era with a good sculpt already. and no black trunks.

No need to pre-order there's lots of takers and lesnar round here...sure it'll be the same next year lol
Love that hbshizzle but Trips? See what I mean, he probably FORCED Bill to put him in that spot. Funny seeing mediocre wrestlers (no matter how big of a star they became) think they're the best lmfao That's why I can't watch anything current - cuz he treats himself as the ultimate legend. So pathetic - the ego on trips is higher than the sky. But I digress,
that shawn is nice but no kneepads or suit is a let down of sorts...I mean for the 33$ i'm gonna have to pay for him...a belt I've had dozens of is pretty weak.

They are. Ive seen 2 people say theyre more, but RS is always more than retail... Amazon, TRU, Target, Walmart, etc will all be $19.99.

... I don't get the point of putting the entrance attire on the Elite.

... I don't get the point of putting the entrance attire on the Elite. To do his signature pre match pose maybe? He did it in that gear, there just isnt a pic of it. Watch the video though. You could also do the pose post match. Just sayin.

Pass on both But Shawn michaels looks good He does, so GET HIM... I don't buy Shawn michaels anymore (I would buy the rockers though). I never liked him as a heavyweight title contender and that was a reason I switched over to wcw at that time. I have my ideal perfect Shawn michaels figure with the ringside exclusive. And also I have the other wrestlemania elite dx Shawn. That's all I need (besides the rockers) lol

Like I said in another thread, these figures will be all over the place in a few months, so really no need for me to preorder.
I love both figures, but HBK is WAY overdue for a new head sculpt. And like others have stated, the lack of kneepads on HBK really takes away from his figures.

That HBK will look great next to DM Bret Hart.

Still waiting for a proper non-crazy face HHH from 2000.

These look great... Trips with the mask on looks like he's been watching Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (...one for the younger folks, there... )

The head sculpt is a poor one, Mattel are struggling with HBK scans. The head's the only part I don't care for. The rest of the figure is gorgeous. I did the same with this year's Brock figure, changed the head since I didn't like the screaming one. A bad scan doesn't mean the whole figure sucks.
