I'm excited to see how this line develops. Obviously the $25 price point on the DM's basically got us fairly plain Elites in a fancy box. I'm curious to see what Bill can around a $35 price point. I honestly don't see these going much higher than that when you have the DM line with 2-3 figures, unique sculpting, and multiple cloth accessories at $50.
My hypothesis is that the cost of cloth goods has gone down after spiking over the last few years. There was a point where we consistently saw one cloth accessory per wave. We've now seen single Elites with multiple cloth shirts, 6 shirts in the Shield pack, etc. I have a feeling this line will be similar to the original DM run with alternate heads, hands, etc and a slightly higher price point. And if that's the case, I think it will be a winner.

Think about what it costs when you buy an aftermarket shirt or robe or jacket to replace the rubber ones they usually include. Then consider you may want to do a head or armswap from another figure. Plus add a title belt that wasn't included, and then maybe get rid of those awful leg sleeves so you also have to rob some smalls or mediums from another figure. By the time all that's done what would it be worth if you could get the figure upfront the way you wanted it?

There are few id spend that much on too, but, if you think these are going to be priced that low, i feel your a way off, its all guesstimates at this time but, 40-50 would be a price i think would reflect an ultimate edition figure, entrance greats were almost 30 and they sucked If the price point is $50 than I would guarantee we only see "Mt. Rushmore" wrestlers for the line. So Austin, Rock, Cena, Hogan etc. No New Days or Rusevs. We can only hope

I hope they don't end up at such a high price point. It's bad enough buying elite figures aftermarket at the moment.

Maybe we can finally get an Edge without a rubber cocoon jacket in this line. And with interchangeable hands to get his metal horns, we'd need a flexible jacket for his entrance pose.

I see mostly see these guys made for a $40-50 line Hulk Hogan Macho Man Randy Savage Ultimate Warrior Stone Cold The Rock HHH Undertaker John Cena Brock Lesnar

Hoping for an ultimate edition Kairi Sane at some point, coat, hat, telescope, wheel, and hopefully after TakeOver, the NXT Womens Title. I still don't get how nothing was shown for her, didn't she win the MYC & debut on NXT before Shayna? The perks of being friends with Ronda I guess. That would be amazing. Add in the new Asuka with cloth robe and sure-to-come-eventually Io Shirai and we'll have quite the little joshi section.

Would it be too much to ask to get a low end elite line with an elite figure in a clear plastic ziplock bag with a UPC bar code and no accessories for the lowest possible price point? I’m just a simple collector with 3 expensive kids dammit. Lol.

I’m excited to have cloth accessories as opposed to the rubber ones. An Undertaker with a cloth jacket is so much nicer than one with that stiff, unposeable rubber. However, the accessories better not stain the figures.

Should have saved machine andre for the debut of this line. Maybe then we would have gotten the yellow boots and a singlet that isn’t too short. Throw in a fro head , WM3 singlet and some blue trunks and you basically have the majority of his attires from his career.

That would be sweet.
