I know a lot of us we're going to remove the knee pads from the Entrance Greats figure and put them on the elite, colors not matching not withstanding, but I just realized when I got my eg's fig, those pads ain't slipping over those thick boots. Even warming it up and popping em off your still left with to wide of a stump.

I know these figures are being released to line up with each years WM, but how bad ass would these be if the packaging reflected which WM the figure was actually from? Similar to what the do with the RSC exclusives. I know it will never happen since I'm sure it would cost too much but just picturing that HBK in a WM XII theme box would look amazing.

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. A new scan of Shawn Michaels would not translate well to an action figure. He has a gaunt, old man face. And it's quite weird, because he looked in better shape at WrestleMania this year than he did for the latter decade of his career.

Next Man’s Knowing Rock , my bad, I used the wrong term. He needs a new sculpt or whatever the correct term is. I feel Mattel hasn't quite nailed HBK from that era yet.

I don't think they've done a great job of him for any era apart from the WrestleMania 14 figure. his first Mattel head is so strange, I don't know what era it's even meant to be based on. They used it for his WM12 Entrance Greats and his Jericho feud two pack which was twelve years after that. And it doesn't work well for either of them. Then they used it for his WM28 figure as well. And now using it again for WM12... Crazy. I'd love to know the thought process behind even creating it in the first place.

I feel Mattel hasn't quite nailed HBK from that era yet. I think the problem ultimately is that HBK's head/hair have always stayed changing over time. From early 90's mullet to balding 2000's HBK, his face, eyes, and hair have stayed in flux. I think they have nailed it with the early mullet hair HBK, late mullet HBK, WM 14, and some of the older/balder looks but all they really need is to nail one mid-90's look for him, and then they've got a license to print money because then all you have to do is just change the color on the tights and I'll snatch 'em all up.

I have wanted that elite Shawn since mattel started making figures, but absolutely nothing about it justifies the extra £7 we will have to pay for it over here

Sad to see that Mattel didn't put a bit more effort into a pretty significant attire.

I like that we are finally getting loads of the WWE Championship belt with the vac plates when all we have been getting before this was the rubber ones.

I expect to see Entrance Greats mashups in the next day or so. I didnt ever see HBK for $18 during the sale so I wont be until it drops on Amazon.
