Wow, these lineup choices couldn't get more boring. If the belts are VAC, then maybe that will help sell these. Otherwise, just wow. Why put Batista in both the Elite set and the basic 2-packs? (and then pack him with Cena of all people.) Not a good way to build excitement for a new line with ultra boring lineup choices. The Elite set looks wonderful though.

If there's one thing Mattel is good at, it's killing a series before it starts.

Hm, I was really excited before I clicked on this thread. I have zero interest in either set, but maybe this will sell well to kids. For as popular as he is, Ambrose doesn't seem to sell well at all in my area. With the added accessories, I wonder where they're going to price these - 24.99? Anything higher and these will still be on the pegs come 2020.

It's not great but it could be worse. Nice to see a surprise for once. Nice also to see accessories with a 2 pack. Hopefully the next series digs a bit deeper for at least one of the two 2 packs.

I like the concept and possibilities, but I'm not crazy about these two sets.

Those VAC belts will be stolen while these rot the shelves. I can already predict it.

seriously who thinks these things are a good idea? sometimes i wonder if this company really even knows what goes on at retail stores selling their products. they need a broker or someone to have people in the field doing store checks and inventory reports. these 2 packs are going to be $20+ and feature 4 of the most boring figures i've ever seen, with no accessory worth buying. how could something like this actually get approved by anyone? these are going to MELT pegs across the country and only sell when they are in the clearance aisle for $8.68

Non VAC titles are among the most useless accessories produced. Are these painted non VAC titles? I can't see VAC titles coming with basics.

Not the sexiest picks for figures but they are playing safe the usual suspects than taking a risk. Guess after the Samoans & Warrior/Shango 2 packs didn't sell too hot, they stopped making the packs elite. Similar to how they made the NXT Finn with ring a basic. You're not going to buy it in droves, why waste production making it an elite?

As bad as these two sets are, I'm surprised The Rock isn't in either one.

Why not use the new Dean head? Or give him a beard that doesn’t look faded? Make it unique, instead of rereleasing the same exact Dean that was in the Basic line not too long ago. I bet all these sets are just gonna have the belts stolen.
