you're 17 minutes into the post, and number 6 I believe not counting the first post. Not everyone can complain that fast. I was going to pre-order but now I'm hesitant. For some reason, I don't think it really looks like him. It's close but something seems off. But, that's not the reason I'm hesitant. (I'd buy it even if it was 100% unlike him). The reason I'm hesitant is because of how they've packaged the Word Life DM Cena and the Wreslemania Flair. Too much white space and weird poses. I want to see this MOC first. He was revealed to be a DM at Ringside Fest. So since late October through now I haven't read a single comment blasting this figure for being a DM instead of in the regular elite line. Pretty sure I saw a few throughout--some even questioning why debuting in NXT was a defining moment. Thought you were only talking about this thread as a result. Sorry about that. But, if there has been none, I'd be shocked. This board is really vocal and has such diverse opinions over who needs to get the DM treatment, and what even constitutes a DM.

I figured out what's off about it imo. It looks cartoony. Not like a real person.

Hope we get are getting more than 4 DM's next year. Would love to see Goldberg, Macho and Dude Love all get the treatment next year if they could squeeze another one in the line. Goldberg does not need to be a DM. Black boots, black trunks, big gold belt. That is all you need for his figure. Since he will be such a cheap figure to produce, they need to put him in the regular elite line free up more of the budget for whatever series they will insert him in for another figure with more deco and accessories. He could come with 3 belts like with the Austin DM

Same community was also adamant about having a Bunny figure and about bringing the Draft/Brand Split back. They bat a 1,000! You can really trust their opinions

So we aren't getting anything to replace the 3rd jacket that is likely going to be on his next elite? That sucks

You can really trust their opinions ...um the point was that they have opinions so they most likely criticized this figure when it was first revealed, which was in response to a statement that no one has dared to criticize this figure....not sure what you're getting at about trusting their opinions...

I blame you guys at Ringside for risking my life. I made a big Black Friday order and I promised my wife I was done for awhile. Then Cyber Monday came and I reneged on that so I could order more. I promised I was definitely done now for a few months. And then you spring this on me! Have you no compassion? I'm very "man pretty" and she's going to hit me in the face!!

HOLY ! YES YES YES! I pre ordered 1 for $32 shipped! Not bad because I need it bad, and it was just $5 above retail! Why can't elite 47 AJ Styles, 45 Seth Rollins, and others be $25.99 the most for pre order? Would be even better if they were retail price for pre-order...I just can not justify paying above retail + shipping just to have it earlier. How do you really know this is above retail price. I heard Mattel may put up the price up on all wwe figures in 2017. Besides that Ringside Collectibles is still the greatest place to get figures, especially since in my area, all there is a bunch of crap figures that even scalpers don't want. So please everybody stop your whining, nobody is putting a gun to your head to buy it by pre-order, but trust me you will be sorry if you don't. This is why I buy all mine pre-order because now look at the price on aj styles basic and elite. It sucks for you guys who didn't pre-order like me.

I can't wait to get it! Hopefully they'll have a lot at the Wrestlemania Superstore.

Easy pass. Not anywhere near deserving a DM yet and the figure itself is very meh.

Why can't elite 47 AJ Styles, 45 Seth Rollins, and others be $25.99 the most for pre order? Since no one said it I will. The reason regular line elites are more or varying in price is because theres only 1-2 of each character per case. With DMs they come 4 per case with no variance. If they priced all elites the same, then some would never sell, and others would sell out instantly and they would lose on profits. I think they realize that most stores will get plenty of DMs as seen by the last 2 years, so they dont try and squeeze extra from them, because most people will find and not need a preorder. If they price them normally maybe people will add other stuff to make shipping worth it. They have been wrong with preorder hype before though due to distribution. Some flashbacks would be priced higher because of the case assortment, but then they get flooded, or retail in general like Xpac, Sid, Godfather, etc.

I'll be that guy. It could easily be, and should be an Elite. Not worth 30 dollars. It looks fantastic though, great job, spot on. Applause on everything from the paint to the expression, and new torso. Most of all, I suppose his actual debut could be considered an actual defining moment, so in that regard the artifact title actually makes sense. Still not worth the higher price. If I need a Nakamura I can wait until a few Elite series down and get the exact same figure repainted with only one vest. No DMs until Hollywood for me.
