There doesn’t seem to be any excitement over the announcement of the new elite two pack line. I’m thinking maybe because the initial lineup is underwhelming. 3 of the 4 I believe are re-releases. The same EG Finn and I’m thinking we got an AJ in those colors before as well. They’re basically forcing you to rebuy the same figures just for new heads and hands. “Mysterio” Rey is a cool looking figure but you have to buy a Joe figure you likely already own. Seems like a missed opportunity to kick off the line with a bang.

I plan on getting the Balor set. But Rey and Joe doesn’t interest me at all.

I just now noticed that Balor is battle damaged.

I never cared about Elite 2 Packs to begin with unless it was going to be an actual tag team with accessories, good decor, etc.
the ones we saw dont interest me in the slightest. The only one I want is Rey because I collect every Rey

This might be a great way to get some flashback teams. Could you see a Bulldogs? How about some teams that people are clamoring for that have been overlooked? Or classic rivalries?

I just hope we get some good sets before they go on hiatus after 6 or 8 waves. I don’t see them lasting long. The Rey figure is fantastic though.

I think they got lost in the shuffle with the other announcements in the panel. That WM 35 Mysterio is lit but you have to get another Samoa Joe as baggage. Styles and Balor at least have 2 Sweet hands as accessories which sweetens the pot. Having a faded face paint Balor is unique too.
Mattel AFAIK likes to play it safe with these ideas at first before going all in. Remember when they first introduced swappable hands and most had just open hands and fists, but now we got a slew of gestures. If these guys sell we'll get more tag teams and feuds, maybe even NXT or flashbacks.

Didn't they put two out of the four top talent guys in this series? If those guys actually do move units like Mattel says, the two packs should do ok. Unless the price is outrageous.

I think it probably just got lost in the shuffle tbh. I like both pick even they’re rereleases and Joe is fodder. I finally get Two Sweet Hands, Mysterio Mysterio looks really cool, and hopefully we’ll get a Updated Camo TUE.

Rey probably shoulda went into the WM line instead of Kofi and make Kofi and Bryan the 2 pack.

I think the Finn Balor was an Entrance Great figure AJ Styles is from Elite 56 Samoa Joe is from Elite 64 The Rey is cool I don't know if I wanna spend $50-$60 on an Elite 2-pack though, it was difficult enough with the Epic Moments and they're all shelf-warmers in Canada because they're too expensive. If they we're $40 more people would take them off the shelves.

Really hope they give some good figures in this line. Already pretty much 3 rereleases. Hoping we get UE To match with RODDY

Styles and Balor is decent but Joe & Rey is a huge let down. They could have used that spot for a flashback 2 pack or at least include 1 new wrestler in it.

That Rey is awesome ,As is the Joe .I can pass on Styles vs Balor . But thats just my opinion . Lets wait and see how this line pans out because it may be really awesome in the near future just based on the Rey alone

"Alright guys, after being asked about it for years, I think it's time to give Elite 2-packs a go. Any ideas for lineups? We need to start out strong so people support the line."
"I know! How about AJ Styles vs. Finn Balor!"
"Ok...they are two of our top selling guys but what new deco could we use on them?"
"Let's just reuse the same exact deco from two previously released figures that everyone already has and give them new hands! People will LOVE that and will totally support our brand new line!"
