I guess I'm the only one who wonders what Bill has in his collection that he's not allowed to talk about As weird as it sounds I’ve thought of that several times over the years 😂 I bet there’s 1 of a kind figures in there as well as unreleased/canceled characters.

He explained the arms once before... They move more realistic that the original ones, plus they save money on their part

I was smiling at everything you said until you mentioned that arm articulation could be changed for the elite line. I would be DONE collecting. No way I’m spending $20+ for figures that aren’t up to the industry standard, all while hasbro are releasing these amazing Marvel legends line with sick accessories, accurate face prints, variety of parts, and consistent articulation. No disrespect to Bill, but all Mattel has been doing for the past few years is raising the price and hindering quality. Fabric goods are few and far between, falling quality control, and the death of the basic line. Do you remember the quality of figures we were getting back in 2010-2012 for $14.99? It’s the reason why I’ve cut back on wwe figs, it’s just not worth it anymore.

They're not more realistic. The top of your bicep rotates with your arm.

And he would be right they “were” sold here... in Asda... looks like he knows his distribution very well You're really clutching at straws lol Maybe... but unfortunately straws are all we have here in the poor old United Kingdom when it comes to exclusives So clutch away I say

Im ok with cutting costs on basics as they're aimed more towards kids that play...however elites are closer to a collectors line. Changing the arms on the elites would seal the deal for me until Hasbro takes over (only other figure line left to do it.)

I’ll wait until I have a figure with the new arms before I judge. However, I’m actually excited about these new arms compared to the last ones. If the swivel is in the elbow, customizing will be real easy and bicep tattoos won’t get broken up by the articulation cut. It’s the way NECA does their arms and it works fine.

Really hope he gets around to that WCW Rick Rude! First time I disagree with you on here, I still hoping for a classic IC title rude with puffy hair and either warrior or the IC title painted on his tights. What attire is the green attire?

I bet Bill has a Koko B. Ware and barefoot Jimmy Snuka for starters.

That would be cool, ^^^^
And while we are talking about rude how about giving us the tall boots for the basic?

Hmm, WCW Rude NEEDS some many chest hair deco. The possibility of those arms making it over to the elite line is awful news though

I would rather have basics with no articulation then the basic arms moving onto the elites

I hate to say it, but if the arms are changed on Elites then I’m out as well. Not going to continue to pay significant amounts for figs that are basically giving us a much worse look. I HATE the new arms.

I just got back into collecting WWE Mattel Elite's a few months ago but like others have said, if Mattel change the Elite arms to the same ones as the basic line, that's when I'm done too!

If the basic arms come into the elite line, I'm going to be done with collecting.
