Well after 8 years and 60 Elite series, this will be be the first time I'll be passing on a whole set: I'm not interested in Breezango and already have better/similar versions of KO, AJ, Shane and Big E. Roll on Elite 62! My body is so ready for Elite 62 Surfer Sting!!!! September can't come fast enough.

face is great, hair is awful. Bingo. Face looks exactly like him, but he had that haircut for such a short time that it isn't really associated with his look. Still the best face scan they've gotten of him yet.

I'm gonna get him at retail. I've held off on an owens elite for years. The hair is a little odd but the scan is his best by a mile, IMO.

Agreed. Time for some new accessories with aj. Been doing the same thing since his debut figure.

Breezango looks great. I like the shirts, hats, and shades. I need the patriotic Big E to complete the New Day set.

Legit makes me lol how mad everyone gets over that Fandango torso 😂 I wouldn't say that I get mad about it. Annoyed would be the best word to describe it. Its a terrible torso and its incredibly unrealistic. They had half a decade to correct it and they didn't. Didn't Bill say they were no longer ever going to use that torso and yet it appears again on Fandango? This is where people can yell spreadsheets lol. I don't care one way or the other since I collect MOC for autograph purposes. Also, I don't need this one as I already got him to sign a different item.

Very weird how that Fandango would've been perfect for a Jinder elite, but they didn't use it on Jinder , yet brought it back for a new Fandango

I personally like it. Just not 100% sure I need it because I still love the last version.

If Shane was based off HIAC, they shouldve put the HIAC logo on the announce table cover.

I love the face. Not sure about the hair.

I don't really care if he buys it or doesn't buy it, but I like to see differing opinions from collectors. It's good to know other collectors are "meh" about this figure. Nobody is correcting his skinny legs, tiny torso, lack of knee pads, uninspiring accessories, but I guess we're just supposed to accept it for what it is. Yes Mattel had a killer showing at this year's SDCC, lots to be happy with, but that doesn't mean we completely ignore this blatant cash cow move. Remember when they rushed out AJ's first basic because it had high demand? It wasn't the "perfect" AJ but we all bit the bullet. They've now had 3 years to improve, and they haven't.

I want a US Kevin Owens to go along with this one, with the red and blue kickpads.

You make plenty of great points OP, but Mattel has shown us that they rarely care about our gripes. They know a lot of us would have preferred a Sin Cara body and knee pads on every release, they just stick to their guns.
Out of all of the major toy companies, Mattel takes consumer opinion into account... the least. Hasbro listens much closer.

To be fair they did change Ron Simmons torso after listening to us complain instead of planning not to buy it.

They know we hate painted torsos, leg sleeves, and they just carry on with them. Simmons was a surprise. Too bad a whole Hulk Hogan buck would have been the much better choice for Ron. That Batista chest is so unrealistic and absurd, especially on those super skinny legs. Sting and Ron Simmons are awful imo.
