Who decided to give the recent push here on WF lol. E12 is his most iconic look and his best look to me. This is the monster Kane. No other figure or persona of Kane comes close to this era.

E1 Jeff Hardy. Seriously, if Mattel released that now and said "yeah that's Jeff" people would go nuts. It looks absolutely nothing like him and the stick-thin body looks horrendous.

SES Punk. I have this figure and I do like it don’t get me wrong but idk, there’s at least two better Punk elites in more iconic attires that go for like 1/3 of what SES goes for. Still a great figure and the headscan and accessories are cool. This just isn’t the definitive Punk like people say. All Stars and E16 are if you want a long hair and short hair version.

Funny, I thought I'd be the only one to say SES Punk but it's up there for me. And Punk is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers; to me it just wasn't all that special, especially considering the praise it gets here and the value it gets on the bay. Sold mine a while back loose and made out well. E16 is the definitive Punk.
Also I'm a Kevin Nash fan but the face on his E16 figure has always bugged me. Hoping we get another Diesel 95/early 96 elite one of these days so I can do a head swap.

i can see why, cause the final version cost upwards of $1000, i hope Mattel makes a Rsc exclusive of it (complete with E1 packaging and accessories) because I feel Mattel can make some serious change on it just like Nakamura's DM If it wasn't cancelled before reaching other retail stores outside the Mattel stores in Cali, we wouldn't be considering it a holy grail figure. It would be like the RSC Edge elite. High price on the secondary market but a crap figure overall. Mattel can do a much better job on a Jeff Hardy elite from that era. Rather they do that instead. that would really depend on what version you saw, the proto or the final verison, because the proto looks like poop when you look more closely at it |

It's hard to say that a figure is overrated because if it looks bad mostly everyone is going to be critical of it.
As far as figures usually people rave about that make me go "meh"
Any elite Seth Rollins
The past 2 elite AJ Styles

Wow a lot of wrong people on here hating on SES Punk....that figure was top drawer I loved it when it came out, and recently sold it for a nice profit. But you can't get away from the fact that the head sculpt was...barely human looking with it's egg like shape. Also, E10 Big Show came with a mask for Punk that fits and looks better than the one that came with the Punk fig. |

I own 2 elite 12 Kanes, 1 MOC and 1 Loose and would be willing to sell the MOC one for the right price if anyone wants it. I reckon its the best Kane released so far but would like mattel to make the waist and thighs thicker if that attire is to get released again...

Open and shut case... any and every crappy Reigns Elite (Simply because HE sucks), or the Elite scale ring Goldberg (Simply because THAT FIGURE sucks!)...
"And that's all I have to say about THAT!"...
DAMN, I miss good old Stone Cold!

I like the recent Basic Flashback Kane release. Aesthetically speaking, looks better than E12 Kane. However, I don't believe that it's the most overrated figure. Currently, I think Viril is overrated and over hyped, before that Dentist Kane.

I remember how hard everyone was for Elite 27 Undertaker. The figure underneath was pretty dull, his head was enormous, and the robe was a blob of plastic that poorly depicted his WrestleMania gear from that year. It didn't even fit like a robe, it looked like he crawled into a sarcophogus covered in spikes.

Anyone remember the first Shaemus basic?!?!?! WF was salivating over its debut. Bill hand to come on record to talk about Mattel trying to get the skin tone right. The basic figure demanded top dollar! It was fascinating to see people's reactions. Very overrated.

Both elite Aj Styles and his basics only because Its AJ STYLES
the head is pretty big, the torso is small for him, too much chest hair, painted gloves instead of sculpted as well as gauntlets, no detail inside the gloves, small thighs, painted belt instead of sculpted, that annoying kickpad mold, not the correct elbow pad, no knee pads
theres just too much wrongs in this figure but you cant say a word out loud without getting killed because it sounds like you hate on the actual wrestler, which I love.
yes the devil is not that bad in hand, but it could be much better. most people think its perfect because they anticipated his figures so much. and to hear Bill say something about him no using new parts for his newer releases ever is pretty disappointing

I'm sorry but I'm gonna say either of the Liz figures. I own both and they hype is super exaggerated. Yeah it's a nice figure, yeah it was her first figure in almost 20 years. But is it worth the searching, the secondary price, and the hype...nah not really. The TNF Liz is a bit off to me.

The first AJ Styles Elite. It's a good figure, but I think his value is somewhat inflated in the sense that it's his debut figure and people didn't think they'd get an AJ Styles figure period before his WWE debut. Like I said, it's good, but I think marquee value made this figure's worth go through the roof.
On a different note, SES CM Punk. Again, not saying it's a bad figure, but I'm shocked with how much the figure goes on the aftermarket. Honestly E16 is the only Punk I'll ever need since he's my definitive CM Punk from one of the best matches in the 2010s and I can see how he has a high resale value. SES Punk though, aside from being a Ringside Exclusive, I'll never know why it's as valued as it is.
