Not the attire I was hoping for with Bálor, but any Bálor is good enough for me. Maybe the only way we’ll get London Bálor is in the NXT line.

I'm sold on Gargano and Ciampa. Not a fan of the former's boots but it's a tradeoff.
Kane I'll be skipping since I have the E12 but looks great for those who want him.
Picking up Simmons, my main priority with the HOC 2 line.
Revival BP is cool but I'm good with the Elites.
What's going on with that HBK/Hitman set? I would have changed HBK's look to SS 97 to match. Not mad about the accessories, but they make no sense.
Balor's a hard pass. I might get the stand separately but this is the weakest Demon figure we got thus far. Not Mattel's fault, just a blah attire. I would have done Takeover London.

I suppose it was inevitable that the EG Balor would be yet another Demon. But still... zzz...

All but the Shawn/Hart 2-pack for me.

I'm not bothered by the EG Balor. I actually understand why it is what it is.
Quite some time ago, Bill was asked why the Network Spotlight Finn had the correct torso whilst all other Elite Balor's didn't. Simply put, paint application would be TERRIBLE if for example the TakeOver London war paint was applied on a torso like that. The crevices make it problematic although this particular release of the TLC 2017 Demon paint doesn't practically coat the entire figure (much like Network Spotlight Balor).
Keeping on topic, the WCW Title is a beaut! Looking forward to picking Simmons up. Definitely grabbing Kane too! I only wish that Bret was an Elite. Very intrigued as to seeing new reveals on-going!

I REALLY hope I can order Gargano, Ciampa, & Simmons on Target's website. Cause my stores still haven't stocked series one, and I can't ever get to em online in time.

Probably only going to get Simmons and Kane. Balor looks good, but again underwhelming for an EG. The worst part are the huge boxes, might skip the EGs alltogether.

I love the idea of monthly reveals. I hope the fourth one in Walmart wave 3 is revealed next month.

I agree, I would have preferred their Survivor Series 1992 match instead, two different attires for both wrestlers and both the WWF Championship and Intercontinental Belts since it was a champion vs champion match. However, since it is a basic pack I am not as upset about the reuse of attires, I would prefer the attires below in elite form. I agree. I would much rather have these as elites but this would be a much better set for line labeled as “Hall of Champions”. I’m having a hard time remembering the ladder spot from their WM 12 match. Yeah, the ladder and chair seem out of place. The only chair moment I can remember in the match was when Shawn super kicked a guy sitting in the chair. Unless, they are combining all of their matches, they did have the first ladder match in WWF history and I think in the Screw Job match a chair was used. The champion vs champion match would have made more sense in the Hall of Champions line, but since they are basic figures I am okay with them not using the Survivor Series 1992 attire. I kind-of hope Shawn and Bret will get individual elite figures in the Hall of Champions line of their 1992 match.

I'm very excited for HoC2, even though Johnny isn't perfect. It's a great set overall.
Balor not being Takeover:London is a big disappointment, but if the EG budget really is as limited as it seems I'd rather they make another look. Maybe Jack the Ripper Balor can fit in the main Elite line. If done right, it could be one of Mattel's best. So I'd rather wait than seem them cut corners to make budget in EG.
The Bret/Shawn is a disappointment. Bret looks good, but why not do a Montreal Screwjob set? With all the different attires Shawn wore, it's frustrating to same the same few recycled. There's a good chance we'll see Summerslam 95 used again in the Fan Central battle pack once those find a home.

That moment when the NS Balor has more paint deco and accessories than the EG.

Bret/HBK pack is a joke. HBK's scan still very off (new scan? doesn't matter...). The ladder accessory is baffling. Mattel continues to be an overpriced budget line of WWE collectibles.

I think the WCW belt looked better in the prototype pics we saw in the past.. the final version just looks off, like engraving too deep or something.

Simmons and Kane are awesome. These are two of my most wanted Elite figures at the moment.
I look forward to upgrading my DIY Basics to Elites. Their breakup has been more fun than their time as a tag team though, so their current looks are what I ultimately want for my collection.
Balor is what it is. Is it worth more than a regular Elite? No, but I still want it for my Demon Balor collection. I'll probably get this one through Ringside since everywhere else online will have it for $30+.
HBK and Bret from Survivor Series '92 or '97 is the only way you would have got me to buy a HOC Battle Pack. This and The Revival will likely warm the shelves, and I'm not the least bit tempted by them. It's sad to see what has become of the Basic figures.

Is that balor from TLC 2017? Yes. Seems like a really fast turnaround for a figure with that much paint deco in an event that took place at the end of October. I know yeah they did it quick and cause the paint he had at summerslam 2017 is different
