Incredible. This figure is mostly new parts. The head, torso, legs, and the jackets. Awesome.

I went ahead and pre-ordered. Looks like I'll be putting up my custom one on eBay.

Definitely not worthy of a DM.

If this figure is produced in the amounts of the SDCC Taker DM, UM Warrior, and the other new ones, it will be melting shelves after retail release. I'll wait to pick up one by price matching Amazon when it drops to $13 or $14
Average wrestling fans don't have a clue who this guy is
RSC Exclusive - Yes

Is it because its Nakamura that people aren't complaining this shouldn't be a DM? There's very little deco. Yeah you get two different entrance shirts but they're both plastic. How come I haven't heard anyone go "shoulda been a normal elite"? Personally I don't care other than it bumped Macho Man down to the 3rd DM of 2017. Just curious why this figure isn't get the same amount of hate the previous DM's have gotten. I guess I don't really care cause it's costing me less to pre-order this than the last elite set. That said, the reason why it's a DM instead of an elite is surely the fact that it has entirely new torso and leg molds.

While I understand the product rationale of making this a DM so as to include the multiple accessories, this guy is not yet worthy of a DM slot. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Awesome will pre-order this soon. Not a bad price cheaper than retail after discount, and no wasted gas to stores coming up empty handed.

No doubt it's a beautiful figure, but let's not kid ourselves people. This figure is a DM because someone at Mattel or WWE wanted to give Nakamura the DM treatment, not because they had to due to cost. So in order to justify the price, they originally planned to pack him with two jackets and a shirt. I'm sure the other jacket will show up with another Nakamura Elite down the road, probably with black pants, and that will be cool.
I'm not complaining, that's their prerogative and it's not like the figure won't sell as a DM. I plan on buying one at some point myself. The idea that this figure needed to be a DM because of the new parts, is a myth. There have been other regular Elites that have been released with as many new parts, and deco before.
Another great thing about this figure, other than it's look, is that it comes with an extra shirt/jacket that you can put on one of his future Basic releases. Hopefully his first Basic will have black pants. That way, I can leave the black jacket on the Elite and put the red shirt on the Basic.

This is the 2nd figure I've EVER preordered (first being the Mania 12 HBK) but it was worth paying the extra bucks to get this one. Hell, I look at this at dropping the cash now and by the time it ships I'll completely forget I even ordered it. LOL
But this figure is DOPE. Can't wait to get it.

They should do more modern DMs. Charlotte with robe and Womens title.

Oh and when it hits retail, I'll grab 1 or 2 more. I LOVE this one, DM or not.

Personally I think this should be an Elite. In 20 years time I don't think this will be his or one of his defining moments. Sure I get it was his first match but I don't see why it's DM. This figure looks off to me, I don't know what it is but I don't think it's as good as I hoped. Hopefully that will change when I see it in person. This could of been Elite easily, tbh if this is a DM, why were figures like Seth cashes in a DM, it was his defining moment plus they could of even included the vest that way too. I'm excited for this figure but it should of been an ordinary Elite imo, things like this make me lose faith in the DM line, they just seem to be normal Elites now with a higher price.

The figure doesn't look bad but I do agree that it looks off. I think it's the mouth piece. I don't think it's usually that noticeable unless he's making a goofy grin. Also feel his right eye should be completely squinted or not at all.

Figure looks good. Kinda on the fence about getting it though.
