Im just glad its a DM cause they are so much easier to find in stores, but its not worth a DM price.

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!! I told my wife I was originally going to buy 3 but only ended up with two so she should be proud of me. She didn't laugh. Joke's on her...I wasn't kidding.

Such a joke that Mattel is seriously releasing this as a DM. Is it a great figure? Absolutely. But nothing about it justifies the price increase that comes along with the DM line.

Such a random choice for a DM slot. It's unfortunate to see them not do something special with the seemingly limited yearly DM spots, but nobody should be too upset about the pricing. So far it's been very easy to eventually get these at a more fair price point. Though that may not bode well for the DM moniker in the long run.
With that aside, it's a good looking figure for the most part. I'm a little disappointed with how the head looks, but that's mainly due to Mattels somewhat cartoony paint apps. The vest looks awesome too.
I really want to see how the torso looks in person. The figure is exciting in that regard alone. There's a lot of smaller/leaner guys coming up on the roster, so it's time for Mattel to expand its repertoire of torsos to avoid constant scale issues.

Really hoping his belt and soles of his boots are painted black by the time this hits. Absolutely no reason for them not to be.

I just realized he doesn't have kickpads Good eye. I hadn't noticed that. So wrong boots, unpainted belt and unpainted soles. I hope this is just an early proto.

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. No that IS a defining moment if ever there was one. big gold belt AND u.s. title...maybe some signs like 'goldberg' and 'who's next'... I'd like to a RSC exclusive wwe goldberg with longer tights and big gild belt. I'll even buy a grey bearded oldberg too.

REALLY disappointed this is a Defining Moments figure... I don't care what anyone says, Nakamura should NOT be getting the DM treatment. The actual figure looks as though it could (should) be in the regular Elite line too. They should do more modern DMs. Charlotte with robe and Womens title. NO - on both accounts. I think the DM line should only feature legends and really big names. And RE. Charlotte... the way regular female Elite figures shelf-warm like crazy, a DM one would probably kill the line dead(!). YUP 'legends' and their ilk only...or magic moments. This match vs Zain...I have no idea what the hell they're talking about and I could gives a rat's ass about it. Bring on a REAL defining moments The Macho Man (and Ricky) stealing the spotlight from the biggest main event ever? but no that takeover thing sounds just as legendary...

Wow, maybe you should watch NXT instead of sounding ignorant. I mean youre allowed to be ignorant, but I wouldnt put myself on blast like you did. The line isnt "Member that one time 20 or so years ago only." Its Defining Moments, and that can be whenever. The line was resurrected for big name signings. Flair, Hogan, Razor, Sting, and then we got a bunch of reissues with Undertaker, Stone Cold, Warrior, Cena... Hell AJ elite couldve been a DM if it had the correct elbow pad, kneepads, and a sculpted belt. Maybe a plastic vest with cloth hood even.

Charlotte... the way regular female Elite figures shelf-warm like crazy, a DM one would probably kill the line dead(!). Theyve made like 7 in a line of hundreds. I never saw Trish warm, even though the rest of the wave did. Elite 41 is over distributed so Lita is easy to find, but Steph didnt come with anything, and some basic females have something. Robe like both DM Flairs, and a new title that only comes with her so far? Sounds like it sells itself. If you want a belt for Sasha, youd have to buy this one. Jeez I want a job Bill! I have been thinking the same thing. I am pretty surprised we have gotten elite Sasha and Bayley before we have even seen an elite Charlotte. I'm convinced they are taking time to work on the robe and new title for a DM, that's the only thing that makes sense to me. The figure could be based off WM32 including the Divas title (which she entered with), and new Women's title that she left with. Then you add the robe, they can tweak the one they gave to the Ric Flair DM. That figure would be great, and would give us the new Raw Women's title. Plus, there is no argument that match is a defining moment for Charlotte and women's wrestling.

The Shinsuke fig looks pretty badass, and I'm actually kinda relieved that he's a DM, so I know I will be able to find him.

He had mentioned AJ & Seth and wanting to personally still pay above retail. Right now AJ Styles is on Pre-Order for $34.99. More power to you if that's how you want to roll, I just can't. They jacked the already high price up $5?! HAHAHAHAHA! This has to be a new record for a plain Elite Check out the cost of the Alexa Bliss Basic.

Not really thrilled with the final product. Also, I knew we'd never get that jacket that we saw in the original renders.
