So today I went back and watched Mattel’s SDCC reveals as well as there showcase at ringside fest. And it got me thinking......have we now gotten everything that Mattel showed off during those two events?
Ringsidefest was was only three months ago and now that nxt elite wave 3, hall of champions, and Walmart exclusives are hitting shelves, is there anything that was previously announced that we haven’t gotten yet? Hell,even both sets of epic moments play sets and everything through elite 57 are arriving at our doorsteps. And these were all just showcased not even three months ago! It’s crazy how well Mattel is putting pushing these figures out. And with no significant toy show between now and sdcc, we have a good six months to actually be surprised on what we see and expect. I love it!
Entrance greats are the next “defining moments” so to speak and we’ve gotten two within a month of each other. What a time to be a fan!

Pretty sure toy fair is next month and we will see loads then. Also we haven't gotten the scu Austin |

Ahhh ok so I did miss a few things. We must agree though that these are getting pushed out in near record pace. Speaking of toy fair, does that show ever really reveal much? I thought it showed maybe a summer slam basic series or something like that but I don’t remember anything major coming out of toy fair. Am I wrong? Hopefully I am, because I’d love to see more reveals.

I'm hoping the toy fair has more wcw related stuff... it's amazing how we haven't gotten a jeans DDP with a serious or teeth gritting scan, a black trunks luger (not the face painted one), a Billy Kidman or a wcw lionheart jericho. Would also love to see the 2001 Kane redone with a unique bigger mold and laceless boots.

The Walmart exclusives are just now hitting so it seems like a lot but we still have the hall of champions target exclusives to come and I’m sure there will be a lull where we don’t get anything for a while.
I’m looking forward to the shark figure

Retro series 3. Retro ring.
Besides that I'm happy with what has come out. Can't really complain.
3 elite sets in the last 2 months in stores, virgil at toys r us, hall of fame, retro 3 and nxt at targets, Kurt angel EG, elite 54 and flashbacks at Walmart. It's been pretty sweet.

I’m looking forward to the shark figure Me too! Oddly enough that shark figure was at the top of my wants list coming out of sdcc. I also expect a lull period from about March to May where we get very little. Little in comparison anyways. Like some of you all have said we are coming off of four elite sets in like two months or so, plus the epic moments, etc etc. So I’m expecting maybe the next rsc exclusive and elite 58 will show up around april-ish. And then it should be rather quiet until sdcc. |

This year should be better than last year, as long as the stuff shows up in stores, there's a lot of cool stuff in the pipeline, I mean if we're getting a WCW World title, maybe we'll get Tag and TV before the year's up? I think we're just now getting Vonner era stuff, like the legend picks in the flashback line, basics that aren't a foot shorter than the elite counterparts, variants, and who knows what else?

Ya I have to admit as well that when I first saw the prototype of that Elias Sampson I thought it was a flashback of somebody but didn't know who it was lol |
