I love the line and I hope they make a thousand of these because I'll buy every one but I hope they start to pay more attention to detail. The Kane not having a belt seems like pure laziness. I guess they can fix this issue. Taker not having any tats was a mistake. I'm pretty sure when Taker was wearing purple he had some tats by then. Warrior having the same colors as Hasbro 1 made no sense unless it was some type of tribute to the original line. Having no Warrior logo on the trucks was also lazy. Cena having the black shorts bothered me since the first series had so much black. Most of the black couldn't have been avoided but it could have with Cena. If series 2 Sting is crow Sting and doesn't come with a bat to make the first accessory, that will be another missed opportunity.

I still don't understand the appeal with these things. They are like Happy Meal Toys you pay $20 for.

I'm okay with Taker not having tattoos, because that's probably how Hasbro would've done it, 1997 onwards should probably have the sleeves though. I agree with the black plastic point, but I wouldn't use the word "lazy", I think they may have just got a little too simplistic with Warrior's gear. Kane would definitely benefit from belt and paint detail on the sides, I mean people will still buy it, but little omissions like that can turn a few people off.

I am not the intended audience with these things. I don't think they suck but I'm not buying them.

I forgot that they have some pics of series 2….I'm glad that there is some series 2 info….I hope we get a Dolph Ziggler. The issues you have I am grateful for, though, those were really good choices in my opinion from Mattel. WHo knows how much happy meals are now, it's like over $20 if you want to skip having to buy all the happy meals to get the one you want from a 3rd party seller, etc. Happy meal toys-wise, these are super epic, and happy meal toys are better than every toy company except for Mattel, so (far)

I still don't understand the appeal with these things. They are like Happy Meal Toys you pay $20 for. They're $10. The appeal is the nostalgia. But it has to be more than that. They are flying off the shelves so more than just children of the 80s and 90s who fondly remember the Hasbro line have to be buying them.

Bright, fun, easy to play, perfect toy figures

For one, they're not $20 so there's that.
Also, these figures are supposed to be like the Hasbros and for those that don't know or remember, and it seems like there may be a few, WWF Hasbros weren't known for their details. Sure some figures had nice touches but generally speaking, these things were far from accurate or incredibly detailed. You want more accurate and detailed figures, buy Mattel's regular line.

way too pricey for me. like 5.99 would be a better price, i cant do 10+ for such a cheap little toy.
I think mattel is banking on the nostalgia factor, thus the price.
