got my whole set of Elite 59 yesterday, as well as various other figures over the last week from Amazon, Ringside and WOW. Entrance Greats Bobby RoodeI really hope the new basic scan sits on the peg of this Elite nicely and looks good because I am not a big fan of this headscan. The robe is very nice, the attire is cool (shoulda been white boots correct?). Honestly I really just don't care for the Entrance Greats gimmick, I have zero use for these stands. Entrance Greats Jeff Hardywell well well, Elite 1 Jeff Hardy, I knew you'd come. Well close enough at least! Really great looking figure, took me a while to pull the trigger on it because of the insane amount of Hardy's that are all coming at once, but I like it a lot. Basic 85 Alexa BlissI love this figure, great new scan, love the attire. Also got an elite figure protector for my signed Bliss figure! Elite 58 Matt HardyI waited until it got down to retail on Amazon, I wish the previous elite Jeff came with the other tag belt, seems crazy it didn't in hindsight. I really like the scan on Matt and thought the attire popped enough to warrant a purchase. Elite 59 Zack RyderBroski finally got a new elite, it's been a long time to say the least. 42 elite series have passed since the last Elite Ryder, and I still think that 1 is the best. This one just seems weird, they gave him a bigger torso, but kept small arms and shoulders on him? The arms on this figure are not Zacked. Finn BalorI honestly almost didn't open this because I thought it was a re-release. It's nice and all, but I would really like a non-demon Balor elite other than the Ringside exclusive. The Mizalmost didn't open this one either because I didn't care for the scan, but I like entrance coat, and the attire looks good. Chad Gable & Jason Jordanworlds better than the 'Then, Now, Forever' elite figures. Gable is my second favorite figure of the set behind Angle. I love the scan for Gable, doesn't look like Dalton Castle anymore, and Jordan looks great too. Kurt Anglewell damn, this figure is just fantastic. I love the attire, love the jacket, the medals look great, the scan is good. All around excellent figure, and happy to have a bald Angle in my collection now. One of the best so far this year. other recent pick ups

I really hope the new basic scan sits on the peg of this Elite nicely and looks good because I am not a big fan of this headscan. Head, arm, & hand swap. I personally love the new scan on the body.

Why is Jason Jordan’s torso almost the same color as the gold at the bottom of his attire?

Some absolutely amazing figures there. So jealous!
I really like Roode but agree with you that the headscan is not nice the latest figure.
On a side note, we need more Alexa Bliss figures.

Yikes, that face on the EG Roode is atrocious. These face prints have really been a hit or miss. I’m gonna give them a chance though, because they just started implementing them. Nothing looks amazing at first. I remember when Mattel first took over, besides the nice accessories, the figures weren’t really all that great. They barely had any resemblance to the actual wrestlers. It took them awhile to find a groove with the face scans, but by then they unfortunately slacked off on accessories lol.

Could you use the boots from the basic on the elite too?

The new Basic Roode head looks much, MUCH better on the EG figure. The more of these face scan figures that I see, the more they remind me of CAWS with badly uploaded faces in 2K.
Ahh, that Elite Angle with the Undisputed Championship...it's beautiful!

Man there’s a lot pics on this page, lol. Thank you so much for all the details. I love when you get a new shipment.
So, forgive me if I’m really late to the party, but has the EG head vs the nXt head been discussed? I mean, the more I look at the comparison, they look identical, just painted differently. Just like the Rollins heads scan from his first nXt elite to his new SS elite. Are there more heads with the new technology, and they’re trying a new paint style as well? If so, the facial hair is looking much more realistic, but those eyes are still rough.

I think you’re right. And I think the Shane does too.

Great reviews and excellent pics as usual. I’m not happy with Angle’s arms, wondering if LOD Hawk arms are a skin match and if they are, who else has those arms because Hawk ain’t cheap to scavenge parts!

I really want that Zack Ryder because it is just an awesome figure IMO. I skipped on the TNF Chad Gable and Jason Jordan so these are the ones I will be getting and IMO they are really better than the previous ones. I hope I can find that EG Jeff Hardy and that basic Alexa Bliss in stores. Last thing that Bobby Roode fix up is awesome!

I had planned on getting Gable & Jordan, but I may pass if all the torsos are way off like that on Jordan. The pics on RSC are not like that tho, so I'm hoping they're not all bad. At least I do have the TNF ones regardless if I get these or not.

So with the EG Roode being packed the way it is, can you even tell if you're gonna get one with a stroke face(credit to the member who made the Stroke Face James thread)?
