I was honestly wondering if the Mickie James (coming with the NXT Belt) might be a part of this exclusive line.
I'm just excited to see what comes of this line. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trish and Lita, probably Beth Phoenix and a couple others with the Diva's Title. Hopefully some NXT and current Champions as well.

I cannot wait to start seeing the Walgreens exclusive line. I'm hoping it will have women past and present with their respective Championship Belts.

I know a couple of my Targets had the Horsemen set on sale awhile back but not THAT low of a price. I might check again soon to see if its changed.

I'm kind of surprised she hasn't had an Elite figure yet. Maybe Mattel is just taking their time making an accurate boot mold for her.

I'm happy Apocalypse is the BAF but I wish they would have announced that wave...or part of it.

So I'm assuming that was the end of it? Overall, I like what I've seen. I'm more interested in modern figures so I can see why this SDCC kind of felt lackluster for a lot of people on here. I AM surprised that we haven't even seen renders of the Hardyz yet. I'm sure they will be coming.
Today's reveals: I need that Tyler Bate and Rich Swann. Tyler looks a bit bland...but I guess that is part of his look in general. Dude's got really muscular legs in real life but the scrawniest legs in figure form. The U.K. Championship looks awesome.
Swann is just perfection. As is TJP. Really cool looking figures. And I'm so happy we got the Cruiserweight Championship.
The attire choice on Becky is horrendous. And I'm uncertain on that headscan.
Elite Bray looks perfect.
The Festival of Friendship looks like a cool set. I just wish they'd continue to give Jericho that newer scan. It looks amazing.
My wants out of all that I've seen: The entire NXT line. Ember Moon Mickie James Sasha Banks AJ Styles Maryse Alexa Bliss Pretty much all of E53 Jack Gallagher Tye Dillinger DM Jericho Most of E52 Corey Graves The Club Neville Zack Ryder
So yeah, these figures will be hurting my wallet. May have left a couple figures out.
I wonder what Ringfest will be like now...

I'm really happy to see a comic book Black Widow figure. I think she looks great.
SO HAPPY to see Domino. I think she looks a tad bit plain and I'm hoping they add an "X" emblem to her at some point but she was one I hoped they (re)make.
I think Cable and Deadpool look great but I'm a bit disappointed to see them again so soon. Don't get me wrong, they are awesome...but there are only so many X-Men oriented themes that Marvel puts out a year...I just want to get some new (hopefully Villain) faces and the entire Jim Lee costume group finished.
Gwenpool and Spider-Punk look really cool so I'll most likely grab them at some point.
Really, Really, Really hoping to see some good X-Men stuff. And potentially getting a couple extra waves or a boxset to make up for the lack of X-Men for so long.

DIY, Elite Revival, Elite Sasha WITH THE RAW WOMEN'S TITLE, EVA!, Bobby Roode!! I think these are great so far!
Authors of Pain look cool too. I didn't think we'd get them yet but I'll definitely pick them up.
I like the look of the Styles figure too. I just WISH they'd give him an actual glove mold and belt (like the Evan Bourne figure).
I wonder if there will be some kind of a Build-An-Accessory type thing with the new NXT series like the Bayley Buddies.
I would have liked to see The Revival maybe have larger torsos...but still really cool looking figures.
I'm not crazy about Sasha's color scheme. I'm waiting on the Pink/Yellow gear for sure but I'll still be picking this figure up. I hope the belt is just an early proto and they resize it.
I can't wait to get DIY. Those were figures I really hoped to see. And so happy that Eva figure will be released!
I'll pick up Asuka and Nakamura as well because I have yet to find either of their figures.
I think these reveals have been great so far. A lot of figures that I've wanted are being shown.

So I grew up listening to stuff like The Beatles, The Carpenters into Alanis Morisette, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple and a dark period of *NSYNC and other typical pop music.
I think after watching an episode of Raw or Smackdown at a young age, I flipped through the channels and ended up on MTV during their late night music videos they showed (yeah...remember when they actually had music on that channel?) and after a couple videos played through, "Crawling" by Linkin Park came on.
I was instantly hooked. Like. Instantly. I went out and had my mom buy me the Hybrid Theory CD and I swear I listened to that album over and over and over and never got tired of it. That album changed my entire perspective on music.
I've always been a weird kid and growing up, I had hard times in school with the way people treated me. I had a lot on my mind and a lot of negative and down feelings that I never really understood but listening to Hybrid Theory kind of helped me to make sense of who I was and how I felt. Whether it was the anger that needed released or the sadness that I felt a lot, it was all there in that amazing album and it all felt entirely genuine.
I can't say that I cared much for their work after that first album, but I did go back sometime in High School to learn about Chester's previous band Grey Daze...which is still one of my favorite bands to listen to.
I haven't listened to any of their music past their second album really but for the past month or so...all I've been listening to is Grey Daze and the Hybrid Theory album. Maybe I've just been feeling nostalgic, maybe it's just because there's a lot going on lately but I just felt that it needed to make a return to my life and it's still as great as it's always been.
And now I hear about Chester Bennington passing away. I used to read about these guys a lot and I knew of the problems he faced and a lot of the unfortunate things he has been through so it, sadly, isn't the hugest surprise in the world. But it's obviously still really upsetting.
He was one of the main voices of my life growing up and one that I'll probably listen to for the rest of my life. It's just really, really, really sad. And I'm sorry to his family and the rest of the members of Linkin Park. And to all of my friends that all listened to and love this music and I know there are a lot of you. I'm probably not going to listen to anything but Linkin Park for awhile.
R.I.P. Chester.

I thought from the first time seeing it that it looked to be a great size. The only problem for me was the price (and that I'd rather have an NXT ring but it will come down the line, I'm sure).
I'll probably drop the cash on it because I'm currently without a ring (my Jakks Hardcore ring with Ring Gear Turnbuckles was in storage at my mom's and she accidentally threw it away..)
I'm hoping they come out with turnbuckle/rope sets for this ring for Smackdown/NXT, etc. rings kind of like what Ringside has available for the ASR.

I'm loving these figures so far!
Alexa looks AMAZING! I can't wait to get Miz and Slater! I'd be more excited about Jericho if he had the same headsculpt as the Exclusive figure.
I was HOPING for Ember and Mickie James so that is awesome! Maryse looks incredible! Dillinger looks great, so happy to be seeing an elite of him. I didn't expect Jack Gallagher but it looks really good.
I'm definitely happy so far!

I'm crossing my fingers for Jim Lee versions of Storm, Gambit and Beast. And some X-Men villains as well. Maybe a couple Young Avengers and Runaways characters too.

I must be in the minority but I'm really excited for this set. Jericho, Slater, Bliss and Miz are ones I'm particularly interested in.

I have been struggling to decide what ring to get but I think I'm gonna break down and get that new ring and just sell the Goldberg figure. It's a beautiful ring.
I'm really liking that Jericho figure too.
I'm kind of glad there aren't too many preorders because I might go broke.
I'm very excited to see all of the new stuff too.

I'll definitely get Corey Graves but the rest of that Basic set is an easy pass for me.
I might end up preordering all of Elite 53. I can't wait to see Alexa and Slater.

I don't understand why they didn't pair her with Dana Brooke as soon as she returned. Those two worked really well together in NXT and Dana is never going to get over as a face.
I feel bad for Emma. She is really talented and they have a THREE hour show so there should be plenty of room to use her.

I'd only buy Graves if this lineup is true.
I'd hope one of the N/A's is a female. Maybe Naomi or an updated version of someone who hasn't had a figure in awhile.

Well damn. I was hoping the tiara would be removable. I'm still ordering her though because I think it's a pretty cool figure.
