Seems like both of these Mankind figures will be some kind of repeats. e51 sounds like it might be the Amazon one rereleased with a tweak or something. Would be nice to get a cloth brown shirt or something or have it come with his smiley face t shirt that was popular back in the day. Surprised they didn't go with Dude Love for the summer slam figure but maybe they need more time to do it. Dude Love never technically wrestled at SummerSlam. All Foley did was rip open his shirt and take off his mask at the end of the match. It would have been Mankind in his debut attire with possibly a removable mask and shirt.

I know this isn't the end of the world but on the back of Finn's box on the career highlights it should say Universal championship, and dusty Rhodes classic winner (like joe) Dusty Rhodes classic winner meh... But bring the universal title and dont put that in the highlights is bad. Hope they fix it. Still, this will be a great figure. PS: for the first time I agree with you.

Maybe elite 52? We know a supposed line up for 51 and he is not in it. They released Air Boom Kofi and Evan Bourne two sets apart with titles before. Most are in the same set or one apart though. Id have to think e52 is a real possibility based on that alone, or e51 if Berserker or someone (hopefully not Scott Hall) gets replaced. They did release Big Show with Raw and SD belts and never Jericho or Miz. They also released 123 Kid with a belt with no intentions of ever releasing Marty to go with him. Kane with tag belt but never Bryan (unless you count the BoPPV figure with 2 belts). Yoko came with two belts and we know we're never getting Owen to go with him. So there are precedents of them never completing a tag team. You are right but a new Heath Slater figure is expected. In the video of Q&A from ringside they confirm that.

Not sure if it's been answered but are they going to make that Basic SummerSlame Rollins into an Elite?

Thanks for screwing us over Mattel on Goldberg smh Why can't Mattel get that pink color on a Sasha figure that isn't Zombie.

So let me get this straight...they are packing an elite in with the tough talker ring? So much for all of you that argue the budgets are separate for each line. If that were the case they wouldn't be using the elite figure to sell that talking ring garbage. Wrong. Goldberg comes with the new Elite Scale Ring. The Tough Talkers ring doesnt come with a figure. Two entirely different rings.

I really like that new Rollins scan. I appreciate the one now because it looks like him at least, but I think this yelling angry one is a better fit for him. Attire looks dope too.

They could have done SOMETHING different with that Shane McMahon.. It literally looks like the Jakks version with different hair and different colored shirt. Rhyno looks terrible.. Stephanie looks bad. Enzo and Cass look good.. But man O man you can sure tell that Mattel's contract is about to expire.Mattel's contract with WWE is through 2019... I don't know what you're trying to do here.. So their contract is about to expire.. In 2019.. Less than 2 years from now. I'd understand if their contract was expiring in 2022 and you hit me back with that, but I honestly have no idea what your point was.. I remember JAKKS in 2008.. Do you?

I hope they'll make playsets for the new ring like Hell in a Cell or Elimination Chamber. Doesn't look like WCT will be doing that soon. They're still showing the same rings they showed 2 years ago.

It looks like a Jakks action figure with different colored hair and shirt. My beef is with Mattel.. As implied. OK, what could they have done differently, specifically? I think they conveyed the look perfectly and in the style I have come to expect from them. I would have preferred a cloth shirt or a shirt mold that isn't gigantic and bulky, honestly.. The scan looks fine I just believe the entire figure as a whole looks very JAKKS-like. This is just coming from my point of view man.. And as someone that has been waiting for a really good Shane McMahon action figure since 2009 I was let down by how simplistic and bland this new one looks.

You guys are really sensitive over here towards differing opinions.

Word™ I just think personally you have unrealistic expectations for a Shane elite. He literally always wrestles in a baseball jersey, track pants, and sneakers. Since he has been back, the only current looks he has had are suit/sneakers, and WM32 attire. Both would be plain or simplistic (minus the sneakers maybe). This figure is in that ring attire, with a head sculpt that looks like him. Looking like a Jakks figure to me means balloon arms, bobble head, and probably black snow boots instead of sneakers. People asked what you would do differently and you basically said cloth shirt. It aint 2011 anymore and Cena probably should get the cloth shirt if theyre only handing one out per series. Also no matter how you feel about plastic clothing on these details like collars, buttons, zippers, pockets, lapels, etc look much better in scale than cloth. DM HHH and some of the EG figures say hi

The new Seth Rollins figure looks good. I like the new headscan but kind of wish it was an elite. Still not a bad figure. I like the new Finn Balor elite figure and Brawlin Buddy.

DM HHH and some of the EG figures say hi It was just my opinion about an action figure, dude. There's no need for us to battle like this is a U.N. conflict.. I expected something and I was let down.. Someone asked what I would prefer and I answered their question. That honestly should have been the beginning and end of the entire conversation.. And while I can appreciate your opinion and the lengths you went to tell me why my expectations were probably a little high, I can't help to notice people going into full attack mode on others throughout this thread.. There is entirely wayy too much arguing over different opinions on the toys in here.
