I shake my head when somebody on the forum has to go out of their way and finds proto pics and post it. Then Ringside post the same picture later on; its like if you have them just post them. (I know Mattel has say on when to post them) The end product is what people buy, proto's only reflect what your interested in. That's just how it is. Ringside might not get them at the same time, but more often than not they will lead the way. They're not going to withhold images if they have them. Save for their own exclusives, of course, but they reserve that right. Elite 51 is not anymore important than any other wave out there. I could see this being a big deal if it were closer to early June and pre-orders were about to ship, but that is well over a month away from happening (if even at all). My best guess is that prototype images will appear within the next two weeks with MIB images not far behind. I'm just used to seeing the next future series on the free pamphlet that RSC sends with their orders. Last year definitely seemed better with how fast we got to see the next series. Maybe I'm just getting ancy. Man I just want to see that Hall painted, I'm a little nervous on which red attire they're going to choose. I'm just hoping it's not the version with the full red trunks, but rather a repaint of the rsc or the version with the sans serif typeface. I just want black trunks, I'm also hoping they change the leg sleeves for the mid sized ones too. Hall and Styles are what Im really waiting to see the most. They could do really great with Hall or really bad.

I'm curious to know if they'll be using a new headscan or not. Non painted, it's the ponytail scan used on the unreleased 4 pack. RV F'N D agree with you too. I'll be honest too, I don't like the torso they chose either. It doesn't bother me that much, but it's really overused especially for the wrong guys like Hogan, Flair etc who have very unique physiques. I wish Hall a unique torso or a less ripped version of the triple h torso.

As soon as it's confirmed that hall is the red and black ring attire then I'll be pressing the preorder button Probably better to pre-order then cancel if you don't like the MOC images. I've done this a few times and missed out before they sold out.

I feel the anciness like most of you but at the same time part of the fun is building that anticipation. Monday is May 1st so anytime after that these images could come out considering they are due in stock early June. June is also only a month removed from SDCC where we will probably get to see the rest of the year's worth of releases. Elite 51 has a lot of potential. Styles, Bezerker, Hall and Mankind could all be knock out figs.

I really want to see the Sami and AJ. What I'm hoping for is Zayn to come with a jacket and hat. And AJ to be in full red and a detailed vest with the sin cara torso. I dont see them changing AJs torso. Its not new. Its been around since day 1 of Mattels reign. Personally I dot get the hate it gets. Its one of my favorites next to the Matt Hardy/Road Dogg one It's not that it's bad, but it's too skinny for AJ.

I hope Scott has the red blood drip with no words, vest with no words, and an nWo shirt, either cloth w/ sleeves or plastic without. Just not another half shirt.

I'm curious to know if they'll be using a new headscan or not. On Instagram. Shows an unpainted testshot in a plastic bubble with all accessories it's going to include. Judging by the boots it's outsiders attire Hall. Accessories are pointed out in this picture. Can't wait, hopefully it's his outsiders debut attire There's one of Berzerker on there too

I still have yet to get my hands on any Sami Zayn elite, so I'm pumped. Also pumped for AJ Styles. Actually, I hope we get the Red Attire for Roman Reigns in this series. I'm not a big Reigns guy, but I really liked that look for him, and if that's the attire they choose for his elite, that'll be THE Reigns figure for my collection.

I can't wait to see Berzerker !
One to scratch off my top 10 list. I know Mattel will hit a grand slam with it, just like they did with Warlord 😃
Again, Mattel just keeps on killing it with the past couple of elite series, so this will be yet another complete set order for me.

Nobody here really has a 100% answer, we all look forward to the pictures.

Im gonna guess B.A.T.B since we have luger sting and savage and also Nash
And honestly Hogans hof figure is very close to bash attire.
I'm not a fan of the blood drips on the trunks of bash attire as they seem crowded but that's what I think we will get with this figure

I'm more curious to find out if they did AJ Styles more justice:
new muscular torso - how I hate the Jericho/DBry torso molded belt - like evan bourne's sculpt molded gloves knee pads forearm band elbow pad

Yeah It might be hard for me to pass on Roman if he's in red. I just hope the face is nicely done because his face scans are usually hit or miss.
