Looks awesome, glad I preordered it. Would be a bitch to find at retail (impossible for us Aussies).

I would have given up the universal title for an accurate torso, and that's saying something.
I'll be passing on this one. Could have been perfect.

I get that balor is pretty ripped and the torso isnt. But there really has to be some unresolved underlying issues if you wont buy a toy of a man in his underwear unless he has more muscles.
Great figure. Will buy.

Don't have a Balor. Don't have a Universal title. Looks great, I'll buy!

Great figure. Will buy. Yeah the under lying issue is some people dont wanna spend money one something that isn't accurate in their mind , crazy I know but some folks like their toys of men in their panties to actually properly look like the real thing and not a skinny, flabbier version of him.

They do this stuff with torsos all the time. Remember bill said the rsc rock that came with the purple IC title only had the ripped torso because once they change it once they can't change it back. What a load of rubbish. His newest elite has the proper torso and again it shows you that they can chop and change anytime they want with this balor. I honestly think, who ever lays out and approves the paint apps already got this one done and quoted before they realized or changed finn's torso so they just went wit it . Seems more likely they just worked off the first two elites template. But who knows

Im cool with everyone saying theyll pass, LOL. More for us who want it. Too bad it will sell just fine, so youll have to deal. "Ill really show them by not buying..." Except that they dont care, because Target,Walmart, TRU, Amazon, Kmart, Smyths, etc already bought them. All we do is hurt retail stores ability to keep WWE figures stocked, and youre out of a figure for your collection. If that doesnt bother you then fine, but youre boycott does near nothing.

If Rock's "agent" demanded it in an old contract then Mattel has to adhere to it. If he signed a new one and Mattel left it out and it was signed, they can get away with it again. Bill has mentioned doing some things under the radar to please us versus what WWE asked for on occasion. Or sometimes a mistake is a mistake. Not everything is a malicious attempt to screw the buyer and make money.

I'm still getting this figure regardless of torso choice. It's just that I feel like Mattel was going in the right direction with Balor with his Network Spotlight release. We were spoiled by that figure and now it's tough to go back to something we pointed out as inaccurate.

Looks good but could have been great if given the correct torso. The difference between the Network Spotlight Balor and his E41 and E46 figures is huge with the more accurate torso. They're all good figures but the Network Spotlight figure is fantastic.
That said, I'm glad I preordered this one and will be happy to add it to my ever-growing Finn collection.

It is crazy. Very crazy. Its a toy. It doesnt need to be a perfect scale replica of him. For $20...its more than good enough. Its the cost of a pizza plus tip. Its less than a tank of gas. I piss away more than that all the time. If people are so upset with part choices, life must be real hard. Imagine all the things more important than abs on a toy and how they must drive you guys insane.

won't pick it up, already have 2 skinny fat balors, Balor is one of my favorites, but I won't pick up any more balors with that torso. That torso should not be used for anyone, its my least favorite of all the torsos. From now on I won't pick up any figure of any superstar if the figure has that torso. Then there's a lot of figures you won't be buying Tons of figures. I just can't look at that ugly torso, it doesn't work for anyone, not miz, not bryan, not jericho not aj, not edge, and certainly not finn.

I know Not buying the figure will make 0 difference, & I don't care, the figure will sell well, many didn't get a chance to pick up Balor's 1st 3 elites. I personally don't want this or any figure with that ugly inaccurate torso.

Looks good like all Balor releases Mattel has done. Guess they gotta pump them out before 'Fragile Finn' can't wrestle anymore a la DBryan
