Its just like Mattel WWE. Most sculpts are right, but the paint apps are lacking. Ive seen people on Instagram repaint ScarJo and Liz Olsen and they look incredible. I agree. I think it's every where. I see so many groups on Facebook of people who do nothing but repainted the heads and they look 1000x better.

I don't Understand what would be so terrible with making all of them 2 per case? To avoid another Tito fiasco. I think with this Wave, Lawler would still sell out at 2 per case. I would then substitute revision cases with 1 Lawler. I guess that makes sense. I'm actually surprised with Tito. I mean, I get he probably wasn't a popular choice, but you'd think first his first and for now only Mattel figure, it wouldn't have warmed the way it did.

I have since updgraded to a PS4. I still have all of my old games from the PS3, but this system was the sh*t when I was younger.
The games weee great for the time and I was always PlayStation devoted. Never got into any other companies as much.
My all time favorite game was Star Wars Bounty Hunter. God I need to find a cheaper PS2 to buy.

Other than the torso, I think it's a great figure. That's how the original DM Flair should've been instead of the mismatched attire to the robe.

My philosophy is that if I see it online for a few dollars more, I jump on it. These stores are not trustworthy most of the time.
They skip waves, or when they finally get waves in, someone swoops in and takes them all. Then they never restock. Plus, where I live, all major stores are about 30 minutes away.
It's a great figure, so I would say go for it!

nWo Hogan had so much potential to be a great DM. Such a shame it never saw the light of day.

The latest episode of Rebels was absolutely fantastic. ISB Director Wulf Yularen took a bow in helping Thrawn unearth the imperial spies. This season of Rebels and in particular the way Thrawn has been written? Will cement Thrawn as one of the all time great characters in SW. I would also like to see Director Krennic, Admiral Motti & General Tagge turning up. Just great stuff. I enjoyed it as wel. It actually kept me in the edge of my seat with the whole Fulcrum search. And Thrawn is just too bad ass. Hope he sticks around for awhile.

That Cyclops is incredible. I may just have to get him regardless since he's my favorite XMen, plus I love that version of him above any others. Those were the two main reasons I had to have him. I keep telling myself with all the Black Series that are coming out, I need to save up but with all of these new releases and MCU figures, Hasbro is making it harder and harder for me to resist.

Yeah, have to agree with the majority that elites are more for collectors vs basics and DM are definitely geared towards the collectors. They tried with the basics with the entrances greats and obviously those warmed shelves for forever.
Which is funny, because most are going for a lot online now any way!

I know some people don't like it, but I really like the blue addition to that Balor. Stands out from the usual black/red we've seen.

Loving the suited JBL. That figure would look great with a hat, a mic in one hand and the WWE Title in the other!

It Looks good. I used to collect these, but I just cpuldnt keep them. I knew the black series wasn't neccasarily as good quality and didn't come with as much, but all the characters we got in the Hasbro lines makes collecting them worth it to me. Nice pickup, regardless! It's tough to keep up with them. I had to pass on all the Rouge One figures and FO Trooper variations. Squad building is definitely not happening, lol. Missing the unmasked Kylo was a disappointment too, but he was an exclusive which made the price even higher. That's what gets me too is the exclusiveness of some of them. Just saw the Death Trooper Specialist get an SH Figuarts release, bit you have to buy the Japanese Rogue One DVD set to get it.

All of these Balor figures are spot on. And that Sting is how E39 should've been.
Nice grabs, PJ

Would've preferred that Batista and Cena to be Elite. Still cool to see "rookie" figures being released.

Nice to see Shamrock get a spot. Blue was always my favorite attire color for him.
