i will buy it im not surprised in the least.
It's not like Goldberg is only having 1 match and retiring. And the cool thing for Mattel to do is get a "current" version out there as soon as possible. There are plenty of slots/time for Flashbacks. I'm hoping we at least get a WCW version

Won't be getting, they've done the beard too thick and light and he is too pasty looking. A bit of brown shade in the beard and darker eyebrows and it's there. But he just looks too old. A WMXX looking head with that attire and I'm there. Goldberg himself looks too old so the likeness is spot on imo

There isn't a elite Goldberg I wouldn't buy. So this is an easy yes from me.

Anything non-WCW Goldberg belongs in Mongo Bears 's trash can. Lol.....true Although I'll never buy any non-wcw Goldberg unless part of a multipack with other figs I really want.

Goldberg himself looks too old so the likeness is spot on imo But the beard here is too thick and his eyebrows need to be browner or darker as does his moustache. The only white/light grey part is the bottom half of his beard. I realise I'm being very picky and that Goldberg is old now but he doesn't look AS old as this fig suggests

For those who complain about not getting a wcw version first.
Its wwe and they don't like to put over wcw, goldberg made himself a star in wcw at the expense of wwe.
Sure wwe will gladly make more money off guys who worked in wcw and then crossed over or vice versa.
So this first figure is a current goldberg, and my guess is his next few will be WWE versions.
We probably will not see a wcw goldberg unless they open up a defining moment spot for him and even then it will be a while.
If and when they do make a goldberg wcw defining moment and it does not have both wcw belts (which i assume not) I will be very disappointed mattel.

I'm a fan of Goldberg, I jut have zero interest in collecting or displaying a fig of his. He just doesn't have a very interesting looking fig.

I will buy the heck out of every single Elite Goldberg!! Ideally, I'd like his current look in the regular Elite line, his WCW look as a DM and his WWE look from '03/'04 as a Flashback or RSC exclusive. Those are the 3 main looks we need I think. But the beard here is too thick and his eyebrows need to be browner or darker as does his moustache. The only white/light grey part is the bottom half of his beard. I realise I'm being very picky and that Goldberg is old now but he doesn't look AS old as this fig suggests I totally agree with this... only his beard (chin) needed to be white/grey - and it looks waaaay too long in the proto: http://instagr.am/p/BQqnwRHh5la

A little drybrushing in the goatee and a darker skintone would go a long way to make Oldberg pop.

He kind of looks like NXT Paul Ellering now that I think about it.

I'm sure he will be out of WWE when this finally hits so I'll pass on him

The proportions looked a little weird so probably not. I'll have to see the fig in person.

I want to, but the head is almost a deal breaker. The figure looks like a friggin bobble head.

What's with Mattel's hatred of open elbow pads?

I feel mixed about the figure. Although I'm going to buy it because I'm a Goldberg fan, I feel like it was rushed to make it in time for WM or just to make quick $$$. The head looks a little big, I also wished it would of used the Austin lower legs rather than Rybacks. I remember the Ryback figures being a little short it I'm not mistaken. I also wonder how this figure will look next to Brock, I'm guessing he might look smaller. Maybe the next release will have a bigger mold also really hoping it has glossed boots and the sock outlines. I don't think the figure is bad to be honest but just not as great as it should be.
Ps I don't get why people are saying we won't get a WCW version. Mattel would be dumb not to give us one. We got WCW sting and other WCW guys as well so I don't see why not. It being a dm is debatable, I personally don't want it to be unless it brings the WCW belt and us title but realistically it should be in the elite line as a fb.

They nailed it so well. The likeness is there. The beard is a little off but I'm not going to complain about that. This blows any Jakks Goldberg out of the water. Kudos Mattel. Continue the good work. Just work on your quality control

I think the poll needs to restart now that we know you'll have to buy a ring to get him.
