The new elbow in those pics look terrible. It looks way less realistic. It creates this weird ass curve far past where the bone of the elbow would actually be located.
They look like Hasbro's crapty rotating elbows. Please don't let these become a regular thing.

There's still plenty of characters I'd like to see figures for from the list:
Koko B Ware Road Warrior Animal, - LOD Gold Pads with classic tag belts JIMMY “SUPERFLY” SNUKA, - with underwear trunks, barefoot, new head sculpt BRYAN CLARK, JR., a.k.a. Adam Bomb, - as Adam Bomb, and BRYAN CLARK from KroniK, hell I'd even take a Wrath figure Ahmed Johnson, - with gold IC belt Sabu, BARRY DARSOW, a.k.a. Smash, - as Repo Man Shane Douglas, Muhammad Hassan, Henry Godwin, Balls Mahoney, JON HEIDENREICH, The Warlord, - Powers of Pain The Barbarian, - as Barbarian, as well as Powers of Pain Perry Saturn, Flash Funk a.k.a 2 Cold Scorpio, Slick, One Man Gang,
Yeah, some of these would never happen. And some of them spent their best days outside of WWF/WWE proper. But every single one of those characters are figures that I'd buy without a 2nd guess, if they got made. Might as well make some money off each other, while the lawsuit gets sorted out. Just make the figures.

definitely excited for that Jericho. RSC exclusives are usually home runs, so I expect this one to be that. Funny though how there's only 3 guys with multiple RSC exclusive Elites Kane, CM Punk and now Chris Jericho As it turns out, Jericho didn't make the list.
Ha, see what I did there? Lol.
The "You Just Made The List" Chris Jericho figure isn't a Ringside Collectibles Exclusive. It's just an Exclusive.

List Jericho is not the next Ringside Collectibles exclusive. I'm starting to realize that now. Someone else had mentioned that on the sale page that Ringside Exclusives are listed as "Ringside Exclusive!" and non-Ringside Exclusives are listed as "Exclusive!" I think the post was phrased differently, but that's how I'm seeing things now.
In either case, great to see a "You Just Made The List" Chris Jericho figure. Even if it is a few weeks too late, from his recent departure.
In light of "The List" and the rumored WCW Jericho figure, personally I'd like to see a WCW "List of 1004 Holds" of Chris Jericho figure.

Elite 52 Ken Shamrock: Way unexpected. While I was never really into WWF Ken Shamrock, he was still a star. I'd definitely appreciate getting a Ken Shamrock figure on my shelf.
Elite 52 D-Lo Brown: Certainty another surprise here. I never really cared about D-Lo, though I'm sure plenty of others are happy to see him arrive. I might get him... maybe... probably not.
Ringside Exclusive - "You Just Made The List" Chris Jericho: Didn't we just get a Ringside Exclusive Chris Jericho like a year ago? Do we really need another one so soon? Should we just come to expect a Ringside Exclusive Chris Jericho each year? kinda feel like this should have been a normal retail release a few months ago, before he left the company.

I like this AJ much more than 1st Elite. Kinda bummed we get another modern US Championship in this wave opposed to AJ coming with the Network Logo belt. The US belt must be Mattel's favorite belt or something.
**Rant** They constantly miss opportunities to include appropriate belts with certain characters. 1st, 2nd or even 3rd Fin Balor Elite figures without NXT Belt. Defining Moments Macho King shows a pic of him on the side of the box holding the IC Belt, but the figure does not have one. Still not a single Sting figure with the WCW/Heavyweight belt.
Hall is amazing. Gotta have it.
Berzerker is a must have for me, because I'm old.
And I might even grab Mankind again to open so I can display him & leave the old one in the package still.

How so? Did you see the pic down a ways on page 1, with the Storm Collectibles & Mattel figures standing back to back? It's damn near the same as a Mattel figure. Jacks figures were significantly taller & way more bulky looking.
This thing is definitely closer to a Mattel figure than Jakks.
look Storm collectible's hands and thigh/legs; they're thicker in comparison to Mattel's Hands... maybe. The rest... no way. Definitely not enough to make me feel like it's closer to Jakks than Mattel. Just google search a comparison pic between Jakks and Mattel. The difference makes Jakks figures look massive. This Storm Hogan is way closer to Mattel.

I don't know, i it'd fit better with JAKKs figures rather than Mattel, in terms of size and scale How so?

That Mattel got scooped on this Hogan is one of the biggest embarrassments throughout their otherwise respectable WWE run. Although it's probably more a result of WWE's relationship with Hogan rather than any fault of Mattel's licensing team, it doesn't make it any less embarrassing. Making matters worse for Mattel, this "knock-off" is actually one helluva figure. Mattel cannot argue this figure's existence into oblivion by claiming that it is an inferior product. Rather, it upstages almost any likeness that Mattel has produced, and at an affordable price to boot. I very much hope WWE contracts with Storm on an exclusive line of legends of figures. They obviously know what they're doing, and they listen to the fans. Pre-ordered! How in the world is this an embarrassment for Mattel? Also...you need to rethink your definition of "knockoff." This is not an example of one. Embarrassing for Mattel in that another company swooped in and made a better figure, that tons of fans wanted, that Mattel never made and never will.
I'm super proud of Storm Collectibles. Keep it going. There's tons of other wrestlers out there that I want figures for, which Mattel aren't going to make. Seek out those performers and make them some figures.

This figure is so badass. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it listed. I bought one immediately. And now I'm realizing that I may even want a couple more to slap on some trademarked nWo logos. Maybe a red, black & white Mega nWo version.
Plus this figure looks better than any of the Hulk Hogan figure that Mattel had done.
Hey, if WWE & Mattel aren't going to capitalize on Hulk Hogan, I'm glad someone is. No reason for the fans to suffer just because Hogan said some stupid crap once upon a time. He wasn't the first, he won't be the last. No one else was ever grilled as hard. No reason for him to suffer his entire career & pay for the mistake for the rest of his life.
Bring on the Hogan toys. Storm Collectibles keep em coming. If you make more Hogan toys, I'll buy em all.

Is that everything?
Warlord, Corbin, Goldberg, Shane, Steph, Macho, Rhino, and a belt?

The way that at least 1 of these figures should have been packaged...

Has anyone come up with a good looking method for taking a molded Hogan shirt, and giving it the "Ripped" back? So far the only ones that have the ripped back are the shirts that are torn down the front. And I despise those shirts. I like the solid ones in the front, but I'd like em to have the ripped up backs.
Any ideas?

Mattel WWE Elite 39 LINE-UP ANNOUNCED! Goldberg, Chyna, The Bunny, NWO Dennis Rodman, Jeff Hardy and the long awaited Gobbledy Gooker! 3 of those would have been so cool.

When I found your site, I was sooo stoked man. I really dig what you've done there. I go back to that site, nearly every day checking things out.

Yeah mine is silver too. Definitely wish they'd release belts more often.
I'd be ok with the purple belt switch, but the oval plates are different. I like the one originally on the black strap better. Of course that's the one that's faded.
