Are we going to pretend like we didn't see robes for Ric Flair/Randy Savage today??

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 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. I wasnt aware we couldnt discuss things without feeling personally attacked. The videos I posted were light hearted response to basically the fact that you just dont like the figure, not that its objectively great or bad. Then you said were sensitive in a response to me who wasnt pestering you over contract expirations or whatever. No were not sensitive, you seem to be. I enjoy taking place in these discussions, but it seems no one can have a difference of opinion on the internet because tone isnt translated to text. Then everyone starts assuming the other person is butthurt or mad or somethin. If you dont like people questioning your opinions then dont post them on an open forum, or block us. Just had a discussion on facebook earlier where an outsider thought 3 of us were arguing or fighting. The three of us thought we were having a discussion. If you want your opinions to go uncontested then keep them to yourself duder.

I'm hoping that a new generation mankind gets released in a non Amazon exclusive way and with a cloth shirt and in an elite box.
My hopes for any toy shows between now and sdcc and of seeing figures are:
Sgt slaughter in basics 69 attire but with the elite treatment.
Hollywood hogan
Dude love
The tnf wave 3 figures. I've seen a loose piper on eBay and looked great.
Zeus (keep dreaming,right?)

I am very satisfied with what they have shown. Some figures are great and others don't, but we have seen much more stuff than I expected.

I think we've still got a long way to go before we reach Jakks 2008 territory. However, I just think that cloth shirts are a relic of the past. They'd only make a comeback if the price went way up. So that is to say I don't think they will.
And my two cents worth.....I like Shane. Enzo, Shane, and Goldberg were my favorite reveals of Toyfair. I'm glad they gave us what they did. Usually toyfair is awful for WWE.

As someone who does Model UN in high school, I can tell you firsthand that debating action figures is way more fun and honestly more important. Then again, I'm not really trying to keep the world from blowing up

Nothing overly interesting to me. A lot of stuff looking good. I'm still on the hunt for so much already released stuff that everything shown is so incredibly low on my priorities list.
Hoping Canada continues the trend of getting DMs and we get that Savage at retail.
I literally just got an ASR, if I hadn't I'd be crazy excited about this ring.

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? It's through 2019. That's 34 months away. The contracts are only 5 years at a time. They're not even halfway through this current one. I thought it was self explanatory.

What is with the zombie Lesnar? Is that supposed to be Austin in front of him? Did have they have someone who doesn't know anything about wrestling setting those up and put the vest on the wrong person?
BTW, the reason Jakks was so bad at the end is because the Mattel deal was announced February 2008, so Jakks had no incentive to put out anything good. This is nothing like that.

Did have they have someone who doesn't know anything about wrestling setting those up and put the vest on the wrong person? I've noticed the designers tend to have a little 'fun' with the zombie line, from HHH's quad to Rollin's knee. I wondered if they'd ever make an Austin with Neck damage. Maybe someone setting up doesn't know wrestling? Maybe this is a two pack? Maybe it's a rib to Austin's original departure from WWE due to not wanting to put Lesnar over on a Raw? Either way, if they do try to emulate real life injuries, they got the damage reversed. Brock should have the bad tummy here.

I know most people here don't like them, but the next series of talking figures will be out very soon and the new ring that was shown will be out in September according to the Mattel rep there.
