If Shane was based off HIAC, they shouldve put the HIAC logo on the announce table cover. They were likely just barely allowed to put hell on his jersey. I think that’s why Shane has been slow to be shown off and they probably didn’t want to press their luck with the table cover

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. Bill also said they would resize the bash at the beach head if they ever use it again as well. They also couldn’t do HBK’s kneepads because they were identical to his tights, yet the Amazon Jericho has kneepads that be never wore.

If it had the correct hair it'd be perfect, but its too short, the face likeness is brilliant, as a whole, the head is wrong

KO looks a little off to me. I think his hair looks a little strange all flat like that. Bill said he thought that KO head scan was a home run... I wonder why they dont give KO smaller arms. Home run?! More like a hit batter... or base on balls... and that's being generous. lol

It looks almost like a photograph from certain angles, and absolutely nothing like him from others.

I've merged the threads by suddenlyrichie (E61 AJ) and BadGirlRyleigh (E61 KO) with this one so that the board is a little less cluttered. I can't do this with the official Elite 61 pics thread by Jay because it was created after all of these and I don't want the order of the posts to get even more confusing. If you're going to make a post about Elite 61 going forward, please make sure it is contained in this thread or the sticky thread atop the page. Thanks.

That Owens head might just be the greatest Mattel has ever done.

Looking at this line up I got to wondering how long now has it been since we started getting Elite waves without flashbacks. I know we still get them still but I have noticed some of the recent waves don't include any.

I know we still get them still but I have noticed some of the recent waves don't include any. There’s about an average of 1 per set. Which is usually fine because they have other lines to put them in. GameStop, Target, Walmart, all have flashback lines. RetroFest, Hall of Champs/Fame whatever, TNF/Flashback series. Also WM/SS elites. E56 was the last set with no Flashback. The next set has two though. Sting and Dude Love. E63 is rumored to have Dusty and the Shelton chase(gold standard). Also Kane, but I’m assuming it’s modern since HoC is Flashback. 64-65 don’t seem to have any.

Well, this set doesn’t lol. I’m sure you know that, but not mentioned in your post.
Also, if a flashback isn’t before 2000 it doesn’t count to the flashback collectors.

He asked when the last time was. Its been 3 sets since no flashback. Thats almost half a year before this set with no flashbacks. Why would I mention the current set being discussed? He already stated that it didnt have any. And I couldnt care less what someone who only collects this or that thinks. "I only collect fat old guys like Greg Valentine" or "I dont buy any women figures" or "I only have one of each person." GTFO of here....

I’m not a flashback guy, just saying that’s how they are when they talk about wanting flashbacks.. thus the ones we’ve had recently with Angle, Mickie, Taker, Scotty aren’t the kind of flashbacks they’re looking for. Tough luck, I guess. Like you said previously, there’s other lines that have plenty of flashbacks.

Definitely getting KO and AJ. They absolutely nailed it with their headscans. Though I’m a bit confused as to why KO has the US title and Face of America look, yet he has the non Face of America attire. Not that I’m complaining, because that’s still an attire he wears to this day, but I just found it kinda funny.

The Titos, IRS, Berserker, Nasty Boys, etc that still stare and haunt me every time I go shopping are proof. Meanwhile I never see a Braun Strowman or Jeff Hardy in stores and theyve been released several time within the last year...and the exception of S2H those RA elites seem to move pretty well. Ive seen Taker once, Mickie once, and Angle only at Gamestop. I think the original Legends line was Kmart clearance for like $2 at one point... I could wish and cry, but it doesnt do anything. Im just happy with what we get and I can manage to afford.
