Aw s**t! I could not wait for the Triple H from this series. And they gave him those awful legs. Just like many others have said, those were the worst when I used to play with my Hasbros. They were always the first pinned. All that complaining aside... I'll still get it. For those that plan on playing with these, I get the frustration with these legs. I'm strictly a MOC collector, so it's no big deal to me.

Triple H is the only maybe. Everyone else is an instant buy. Might have to get the first wave now...

And now we know why Sting, Triple H, and Mankind were the last three to be shown. They knew we were going to be miffed at two jumpers and no surfer Sting.
The thing that bothers me most is no sleeves on Mankind.

cool.
but how can you not find money in the budget for a black "belt" line around Kane's waist? it looks ridiculous. and Sting & HHH are cool visually, but they are the WORST type of figure....their legs frozen together look ridiculous, it sucked on the few Hasbro's and it sucks now. very disappointed in those

I am disappointed in the set.
I thought they'd go with brown Mankind and blonde Sting.
I also thought if they were gonna go with Attitude Era figures they'd give us the Attitude era WWE logo and a WCW one for Sting.
Surprisingly the figure I'd probably be most interested in from this set is HHH, he'd look okay fighting Warrior, and Kane could be okay with Taker, Rock with Cena, but I think they could have done a lot differently.
Maybe I'll change my mind when I see them in person, but if the Series 3 predictions are right, I'll be happy again.

All of the figures we saw were 97-98ish. I don't think there was ever a chance this was anything but Crow Sting. I get wanting a Surfer Sting but it wouldn't have made sense with the seeming theme of this wave. I hope we get it in the future. Maybe the true gift is that you have to wait longer for Surfer Sting but he won't come in that horrid mold.

Only bought the Taker from the last wave but I'll take all of these.
Already excited to see the next wave! Hope it's as legend packed as this one!

98 DX HHH is such a nice surprise. But them for bringing back that stupid jumping mold. That should have died an eternal death. It's not cool. Never was, and of course it comes on my two most wanted figures of this wave. Hey, the jumping mold is my least favorite too but honestly I'm stoked to see it back. It wouldn't be the Hasbro line without it, I want new Hasbro figures with all the good and bad that line had, it's why I love it. I think giving HHH the mold was a little... Weird. He's probably the least arial wrestler of all time. But the general shape looks right.

Really? This is very disappointing. I was so looking forward to Sting and Triple H. I can live without them being the Surfer Sting and '01 hHh trunks Triple H I was hoping for...but then they gave both the closed legs jumping action which was the absolute worst Hasbro action feature. Now I might pass on them. I was really hoping Mattel wouldn't go with the Hasbro leaping action. I was wrecked to see they had the jumping action too man BUT the headlock feature that destroyed Rick Rude, Flair & 123 Kid was the worst Hasbro feature for me...... The only jumping mechanism that I agreed with was the Snuka, in spite of the closed legs. I'm shocked that they brought it back. I didn't mind the headlock mechanism on Kid, but the others were way too small. I have to beg to differ on the jumping being the worst action however. The worst action was the bearhug, that's why they only used it once. 2 probably would be the jumper, then the one where you had to push down on the feet for the arms to go up and down a la Warrior 3, Skinner, and Giant Gonzales. I'd love to see a Hollywood Hogan version of these, or even a Hulk Still Rules.

Same thing with the jumping action.

I'd like to collect retro style. These are so cool and vary tempting. Would love a retro black raw is war ring.

To me these look cheap, especially Kane. I did have hopes for the Sting to be a surfer. Maybe next time.

I was hoping the mankind would be brown, but the rest is good.

Will definitely be getting 2 Kane's.
1 to keep closed and 1 for the loose collection.
