The match with angle was more epic than the crap they did on raw with roman

I hope they do come in those attires in the first picture. I like those shirts, it would be nice to get a elite roman in no vest and a t-shirt on instead. Maybe they will be the ones with painted on shirts like how they did the Outsiders in the HOF 4 pk. Wonder what other accessories they will come with.
P.S. I hope for WrestleMania roman attire is a new solid color, getting tired of the all black everything.

I was wondering if we were going to get new Shield figures. I'll decide if I'm buying it when I see it.

Compared to the other sets in the line, this just feels really bland. Festival of Friendship had some unique 1-off pieces that were molded, the Hardys set had two great figures and 4 ladders, and Milk-o-Mania will have 3 figures, cloth shirts, and some unique sculpting for the milk accessories. What does a shield reunion come with? 3 mostly black figures and maybe 3 cloth shirts? It's a fine 3 pack, but I'd rather see the EM line reserved for some unique, accessory heavy sets.

Can't wait for this. I've waited forever to recreate the epic moment where three guys that drew no money reformed a group that drew no money. There are so many great moments in wrestling history to choose from. How the hell does this happen?Β It happens because it's easy to just stick 3 guys who's attires are bland AF and they have plenty of in the pack. It's the same reason they didn't make jericho look even anywhere near the moment he was supposed to look like..cos it's cheap. They even have the right head for that moment and didn't use it. It's ridiculous.

If the three of them came with cloth shirts and their singles attires (not Shield attire, I already have 2 elites a piece of that), I would absolutely buy it. And give Roman closed fists for crying out loud. He needs a Superman punch hand and a grip hand. The guy's signature pose is raising his arms over his head. He doesn't have one hand wide open when he does that. It looks weird in figure form.

Personally, I have zero interest in this whatsoever. All three are frequently in elite, basic and battlepack waves looking almost identical to this. Personally would like this moment. These shirts for them, and all. Or the new one with the fist bump. But this pic moreso than the other. I want the Burn It Down shirt for Seth.

Seriously, how many figures do these guys need? That's the thing. At my house, my son has 4 Ambrose, 2 Rollins, and 3 Reigns figures already. I noticed those Wrestlemania basics for Rollins and Ambrose were moving slower. I think they have over-saturated the market with these guys. No disrespect to these guys, but for the average wrestling fan, guys like Ambrose and Reigns often times have very subtle differences between one figure and another. I've got 4 elite singles Seths (1 dupe), elite NXT Seth, 2 elite Shield Seths, and 2 basic Seths. I've got 3 elite singles Ambroses, 2 elite shield Ambroses, and 3 basic Ambroses. I've got 3 elite singles Romans, 2 elite Shield Romans, and I think 3 basic Romans. I would absolutely buy more if the attire is one I like and the price is right. I really like Seth's attires and wanted to have a variety of good attires. Same Ambrose. I wanted to have a variety of his current looks, and I think I have that now, so I don't need another one. As for Roman, I started collecting his figures if I find them heavily discounted because his vests are interchangeable and now I have a couple elite Romans that I can put new vests on. I also put the plastic gauntlets on his elites because I like those much better than the cheap painted-on gauntlets (that are also too long). Obviously I really like the Shield.

I'm not opposed to the shield getting an epic moments set as long as they aren't just repacks of current figures.

There certainly is nothing wrong with that, sounds like a nice collection. However, when we look at the average toy buying parent and kid, they would be more likely to get another character that they have seen on tv that they haven't had previously, as opposed to a 3rd or 4th variation of the same guy. That is why there appears to be a slow down of sorts, at least in my area with members of the Shield. I think I have seen this to a certain degree with basic Cena and different variations of the Undertaker as well. Undertaker is more of a collector's figure at this point due to his limited tv appearances. A while back, it felt like there were too many Undertakers too quickly in my area. I noticed the Network Spotlight variation sitting around, and then the 5-pack comes along not too long after that. We just had Biker-Taker this quarter as well. I'm assuming this would be a good time to lighten up on him for a while going forward.

Load these up with cloth goods and Iβll feel better about the purchase have them with shirts on like the first photo and matching cloth shield shirts as accessories and weβll call this passable lol

same goes for the basic figure's articulation whats that have to do with the topic at hand? lol a slight jab at those who complained about the head, then does a complete 180 defending the articulation of the basic figures

Looks like another case of a quick Mattel cash grab releasing the same figures with a new painted t shirt.

You know relooking at the situation, Mattel could possibly make something cool if they want to. First thing is first... THEY NEED TO CORRECT REIGN'S SKINTONE AND MAKE IT LIGHTER... They could also make some new scans exclusive to this set to make it sell, deck them out with tag titles and deans us belt and you have a good set.

Iβd rather see Kurt Angle and Triple H in Shield attire with Jason Jordan in the Shield Replacements 3 pack.
