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 fixI 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.. That's absolutely ridiculous man, not even close to a proper fix and it'll look pretty stupid. It'll look better than with the pads right at the kneecap that's for sure Ideally he should've had painted on black leg sleeves , with a small knee pad overtop , the leg sleeve kneepads would look good but those things ruin articulation

I don't need another Finn that looks like that or a oversized karate kid belt accessory

Very disappointed in the EG Finn I thought for sure this was the time we got London Takeover but I will still pick up two just because its his demon look and loved the TLC match against AJ and I have every other Balor figure. Maybe next time on the London Takeover.
I will pick up all 4 HOC figures when I see them.

implying you wouldn't play the hell out of Finn's music box
and not to mention people still bitched how certain figures weren't Defining Moments worthy (Ultimate Warrior and Thugonomics Cena come to mind)

Tough choice. Mattel not giving the customer their money's worth seems to be a trend.

The music stands are nice, but they're about as interesting as the Jakks Signature Jams boomboxes which is to say not very much at all. The early 2000s called and they want their unsuccessful gimmick back. The quality of the figure itself will always be the major selling point for me.

Yeah a giant box with music stand isn’t all that cool when most of us have smartphones In our pockets that can play everyone’s theme from whatever era. That’s where we’re at though. Recent DMs and EGs are regular elites with a nice box for the boxy collectors....

With EG, at least you’re getting cloth accessories and a music box and only paying $5 more than a normal elite. With Retrofest, you’re paying $10 more for just a box that looks like an arcade cabinet that 50% of us are just gonna throw away.

I thought those boomboxes were pretty badass as a kid, they actually are cooler than the entrance stands imo I still have a working Billy Gunn boom box

It is what it is, but Charlotte, Goldust, Rude, etc all got nice cloth robes like Roode and a lot of elites get a shirt. Can’t argue about retrofest. I always wait for GameStop figures to go down in price.

I don't mind paying the extra five for EG, 10? hell no, but five is cool with me. I know it's not everyones cup of tea but I love the stands. that being said Roode is probably going to be the only one I skip out on, dat face is garbo

Kane is all for me. DIY looks great but I’m not a big enough fan

Yeah I have all three and probably played the music once each and never will again I would've took anything at all extra as far as accessories instead of the music box.

Pre-ordering the Roode EG on RSC was pretty much the same as a regular elite.. some of them anyway.. so I feel the total package is worth it if it's a figure I want. I play the music now and again if I think of it when walking around my apartment. Would still prefer Defining Moments tho.

Entrance Greats should be a premium Basics line with cloth attire and/or elite quality deco. It doesn’t need a music stand. Sell it for $15-$20 Defining Moments should be a premium Elite line with cloth attire, extra deco, interchangeable body parts, and extra accessories. Sell it for $30-$35. I would even suggest changing the name so they don’t have to constantly be compared to their predecessors.

I am surprised at all the hate towards that Balor. Sure it isn't the Jack the ripper we all hoped for but I think it looks great. Do I think it should be an EG? Absolutely not but I will still purchase it at some point. I really wish Asuka didn't lose this spot.
