How about Flex Force style packaging, which was mostly cardboard, with the accessories packaged in the bottom (like SDCC Slaughter), so people can't just walk by and take them.

I was really hoping to get all of the DX army figures in consistent packaging, but looks like I'll have Billy in international packaging and others in US packaging.

My TRU order of Legends Warrior (and WM AJ) has been cancelled...I knew that random restock was too good to be true.

Pretty sure nobody voted for the WCW version, it's rigged dammit I think you might be the only person who voted for a WWE version.

I'd love to see them as Ultimates. My only concern is that the new UE Hogan doesn't seem to have the thicker torso that his Elites do, which isn't ideal for an 80s Hogan.

Does anyone know if the eddie HoF attire was ever actually used in a match? The closest i found is raw feb.21.2000 but the colors on the tights are inverted, different shirt and he doesnt have any wrist tapes on. Other than that there are two promo pictures from around 2000. One from wcw with inverted colors again but with white wrist tape and the second from wwe (the one on the box) wich has the right colors but features elbowpads. No. They got the colours reversed because they used a promo pic that had been flipped horizontally.

Prime Time Wrestling set (both versions) with UE Gorilla and Bobby, along with an early bird 1989 Roddy Piper UE or Jesse Ventura (if they could get the rights to him).
Piper's Pit set (both versions) with 1985-7 Piper UE, Hogan (yellow shirt with WM 2 and 3 headbands), and early bird Suited Andre (long haired head with swappable shirt/jacket from first Piper's Pit appearance, and short haired head with shirt/jacket from infamous heel turn)
WCW Nitro set with UE Kevin Nash (red BATB attire) and UE Scott Hall (red BATB attire), and early bird DDP (jeans and bandage for ribs) or Macho Man (some colourful 1995/6 attire)

I don’t get it. I mean, it’s the Acolytes, it’s Molly Holly with a Mighty Molly chase and a decent Rey that I may like more one I can connect him to an event (sorry, dunno the gear), why are people complaining? I buy to hold memories in my hands, my childhood, my early 20s in this case and just things that make me happy. Makes me sad that the line doesn’t have the same value for some. It's from One Night Stand 2006.

Honestly hope we get an old man Austin and KO-Mania Owens in a future Elite line. I could see them doing an Ultimate in the jean shorts, with the WM 38 shirt and older head, along with 2 younger heads and an older shirt (maybe What?).

I hope Mattel does a matching Shelton Benjamin. It'd be perfect for the RA line. I dont think Mattel will make figures specifically to accomodate collectors of a startup, online only toyline. Yeah that's not at all what I meant...When I said "matching", I just meant a Team Angle Benjamin, which would be a cool figure with or without Haas.

Steiner Bros. Scott and nWo Scott would have to be different figures.

It would have been nice if they could have included white gloved hands for Doink. I guess the Rey Elite 72 hands would work.

I do wonder if perhaps JBL or Ron Simmons perhaps were given a prototype figure with a less than desirable set of abs and they said "lol nope!". Would perhaps explain why they're both built like Stallone in these figure forms? Nah. Those are just the torsos they had on previous Elites.

Except Brock Lesnar’s RA figure didn’t come with an Undisputed Championship. Rey’s first RA figure didn’t come with a chair (assuming that Elite comes with the chair that’s next to him) We never got an nWo Booker T in the Jakks RA line and RA21 Rob Van Dam didn’t come with an Intercontinental Championship. So really, just the Batista and Shawn Michaels follow the accessories of their Jakks counterparts… which is odd, if true. looks like Steve confirmed that Booker is coming with soft goods white track pants to mimic the RA figure. thats awesome. and i also saw a screenshot of a post he made awhile back saying Bill was taking inspiration from the RA line, and not everything was going to be 100% accurate to the previous releases. I've completely changed my outlook on this line extension now. Still things could be nitpicked but I like what they are doing so far. I wish they were blue trackpants, to mirror what he was wearing when he was kicked out of the nWo. I feel like mimicking the original RA line just tends to get in the way of giving figures their appropriate accessories.

UPDATE: Steve confirmed that this figure has two brand new headscans. At least now I feel somewhat better. The smoking scan is useless to me due to it only working for entrances. I hated that first Goldberg scan as well, looked more like a baboon/ape. Now if we only got glossy boots and tan skin. I guess the main head is different? It looks very similar to the original scan.

Why do they keep giving RA Shawn a beard when he didn't have one?

If they ever do a jeans Elite, he needs to have the Drew McIntyre tan.
