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. This. I think Mattel overestimated The Revival’s popularity especially after their move to the main roster. Injuries and a lack of any legitimate push have made them irrelevant. The belts won’t be a selling point since will be the 4th time they’ve been available within the last year (unless HOC comes out b4 the next NXT basics).

All Revival figures are just as boring as they are on TV

Balor, Simmons and Kane for me. HBK and Hart might join the ‘should have been elites’ wall.

This Entrance Great Balor might be the best elite demon Balor, yet. He actually has a proper torso, and he’s not in blue, like the Network Spotlight.
The Network Spotlight figure is nice, but it had a large head, as the head tassels do not fit well. I do not like big heads on figures.

Probably gonna get that Balor because TLC 2017 vs AJ was one of my favorite matches he's ever had
DIY is dope,can't wait for their elites, too many complains about something as menial as Johnnys boots, just slide his kneepads down for an easy fix
I like that Ron Simmons more and more each time I see it, think I'm sold on it now
The Article claims The Hall of Champs 2 set is hitting Summer 18, so very soon, yet most Targets only got 1-2 cases of series 1, and my store that I work at has the DCPI clearanced down to $9 for some reason. Really hope they work it out and nothing gets delayed, last thing we need is a HOF repeat..

Love the Balor; hate the line it's in. Exact this. More money for a stand with music... We never ask for that. The figure is cool and is from Balor vs. Styles! That WCW World Title looks like a Jakks belt. Somethings very off about it, looks cheap......hopefully its a proto I tought the same.

I thought Mattel couldn't paint on the ripped balor torso? Hmm... all are passes, might grab a Kane to have another elite.

Hmmm - Balor looks pretty bland/disappointing... probably his weakest demon figure yet (which is a shame as he'll be the most expensive one). What takeover is that Finn? That can’t be all the accessories for his entrance greats figure. Kurt only had the medals though and Jeff only had the shirt... as someone pointed out, we're mainly paying for the musical base (and packaging) - the figures themselves are standard Elites (or not even that in Kurt's case!). Come back, Defining Moments... I suppose so. I’ll have to go back and watch the entrance. If that picture is accurate, I guess that’s all he came out with. Still disappointing to me, but at least he’s got the correct torso.

Wrestlemania was a huge missed opportunity to make him a rainbow demon but I guess he’s only the demon when he wins except that one time

That Balor is hot garbage like the rest of the EG line. Wouldn't have had to switch to EGs in the first place if they didn't cheap out on the DM line towards the end causing no one to buy them and I guess their genius plan to was to revive EGs and start the line cheap instead of waiting lol.

They'd have looked awesome - and given the DM line a boost too...

Why has Bálor got some sort of sash thing on? I don’t recall him ever wearing that. At least they got his torso right this time though.
Gargano, Ciampa and Kane all look brilliant 👍.

I'm okay with the Bret Shawn Iron Man attires, but I'm annoyed that they got the Bret attire wrong. He should have had white trim instead of pink trim around the center of his singlet. Also, the logo should have been the smaller offset one. Hopefully they'll get it right if we get a release as an Elite MattelDesignTeam
