I think some are great, others not so much. I feel like they've taken a downturn lately. They were fantastic for awhile though. Macho king, nwo macho man, all pink hitman - all must haves. I loved the old school Hogan, the 1992ish Shawn, and the rock that came with the ladder and purple belt. I do want the king of the ring hitman. The nwo red stuff does nothing for me. The fin baylor is a waste. Jesus you'd think the guy was Hogan or flair with amount of figs he has. Now that I think of it, he probably has more elites than Flair, which is a crime against humanity. I understand why they have the shield Angle, it's just not my cup of tea, maybe others are into it. Matt Hardy has the belt, so I'll probably get it. Hopefully we get some really good ones in the future. Balor has more figures cuz he’s current, he sells and he has a lot of great attires

I like the fact that my wallet doesn’t have to take as much damage with the most recent RSC exclusive figures.
Last RSC exclusives I picked up in June, were HBK DX IYH & Macho Man Wolfpac.

I’m pretty sure Shield Angle is my first hard no for any of the RSEs. All of the others I’ve either contemplated buying or pulled the trigger on. TBK was a big want for me. Wolfpac Macho and DX HBK were massive wants. Macho King is still one of my favorite figures Mattel has ever made. It’s still been our only Elite shot at BC Balor. So I think the RSEs are pretty awesome. I mean they essentially gave us a Rip Hogan via Ringside.
That Angle, though... just not something I think had any business being made. Mattel has used the “if he/she wears the attire more than once, we’ll make it” excuse tons of times and then they go and make this figure and pawn it off on Ringside. It’s a sucky idea that isn’t going to sell imo.

They've been hit or miss for some time now but there was a stretch starting around 2012 were they were hitting them all out of the park. Cactus, Pink attack Bret, NWO Macho, Hardcore Kane, Red vest Austin, etc

I've been buying nearly all the RSC exclusives until recently... the KOTR Bret is great, but I just don't want modern Brian Kendrick, Shield gear Angle or repainted SummerSlam Matt Hardy (although I'll probably buy that ECW belt from somewhere!).

Same as regular figures - I love the Legends, pass on 95% of the current roster.
The American Made Hogan was really underrated. That scan captured his wild-eyed, mid-promo expression perfectly.

As for the Ringside Exlcusive, we've got the Elite Brian Kendricks. We are going to get Elite Matt Hardy with the ECW belt and the just announce Shield Kurt Angle. So what do you think of the exclusive so far? Are they up to par, or do you think they should have chosen something different? What would you like as exclusives to be released in the future? Saves me money. Niche guys really. Make Dino bravo

I wish we got Wolfpac Luger this year. Each year we got Lone Wolf Hall, Wolfpac Nash, Wolfpac Sting, and Wolfpac Savage. Seemed like a no brainer that this year would be Luger. Give us the BATB Luger without facepaint and add a shirt or two and we’re all happy.

With the videos he does for them, I think Tommy Dreamer would be a great RSC Exclusive.

With the videos he does for them, I think Tommy Dreamer would be a great RSC Exclusive. From what I've read signing a deal with WWE would mean giving up his involvement with House of Hardcore, which he wasn't willing to do. But I think Dreamer is high on the want list for a lot of us around here. Hopefully he gets a proper Elite some day.

I haven't bought the Hitman or Kendrick yet, but plan to eventually. I have zero interest in Shield Angle. Not excited at all about that figure and will not buy.
As for Matt, I don't really need it but will likely order just for the belt and then sell the figure.

Was dude really trying to say the guy with the best attires in the game today with all that cool paint, the current guy, the over guy....should have less toys than a 639 year old flamboyant grandpa? In a CHILDREN'S TOY LINE? Shows how out of touch some people are.

Shows how out of touch some people are. my thoughts exactly I love Flair, but yeah I can easily see how Balor has more figures than the 16 time World Heavyweight Champion Nature Boy. Not do I have a problem with it. Now that said how in the H...e...double Hockey sticks does he have more figures than an All-Time Great in Surfer Sting!!!

My thoughts more or less... I’ve felt that some of the figures didn’t really deserve the exclusive tag line. A lot of the figures could of been straight single elite releases and whatnot. When I hear the term exclusive I think of a unique headscan, accessory or just some kind of soft good to make the figure stand out. The last exclusive which I was remotely interested in I think was the wolfpac sting and that figure had a lot of flaws. Same with the RSE in your house Shawn. I’m really glad that the upcoming exclusives aren’t anything that I want because I get to save $33 and use it on something else.
