Ruthless aggression era is still heavily ignored :/ i mean honestly that Smackdown 4 pack is rad as hell thats some good representation. i remember the jakks adrenaline eddie/cena pack im so pumped we're getting elite form now. that parking lot brawl is legendary. Assuming they are referring to the lack of new names from that era.

Maybe unpopular opinion here but why is Muta getting all these brand new parts. No question he’s toyetic and a big influence but he also wasn’t that big in the west. Yeah he had a couple runs with NWA/WCW but it was also during a time when most eyes were on the WWF. I don’t see much of a return on investment. I see where you're coming from, but that torso definitely looks like it would be useful for a lot of people (which was alluded to in the video) so whatever gets the job done. Muta isn't a huge name for the casual fan, but he has a very cool look for an action figure and literally hundreds of colorful attires they can replicate in toy form. They will be pumping out Mutas like they're Skittles over the next few years.

I was hoping also for an Ultimate Bull Nakano or Medusa from Monday night wars. maybe HoF Jacqueline or Ivory Bull Nakano would be a figure people might by just because of how awesome she looks. Doesn't even matter if they watched her or know who she is.

Better than ninja turtles and The Headbangers. What's wrong with the Headbangers?

I think it's Friday & reveals are ongoing until Sunday....as Clooney said in From Dusk til Dawn? Everyone be cool.... Love the calm optimism. I'm on board with that.

I really think if we don't see them this weekend it officially means they are off the table for Mattel. There’s probably a 33.3% chance we at least see a Scott. That might be more of a gut punch than not seeing them at all.

Gut feeling we see Steiner reveal on the panel Sunday. I really think if we don't see them this weekend it officially means they are off the table for Mattel.

The Steiners thing is getting really annoying now. If they don’t want to put Rick out because of what he said that’s fine and I get it. But why no Scott’s? Many still have PTSD just looking at the lone Rick Jakks figure on the shelf.

Muta looks awesome! Very random, but very cool. Always thought there was a sliver of hope for Mattel to make a Liger since he had a cup of coffee with the company in 2015.
Just need two guys named Rick and Scott and I'd consider these WM weekend reveals to be an undisputed success.

If the TMNT line continues then Mankind better be the Rat King. Kane or maybe The Goon would be good alt versions of Casey Jones. Sheamus as Rocksteady is a no brainer as is Nash as Super Shredder. I would love to see Diesel given the Super Shredder treatment. That would be one of the most meta figures ever. Imagine an Android Krang as Brock and actual Krang being a Heyman head?

Why on earth would Rey be Raphael?! Should be Owens. Because Rey will sell more figures. I love Owens, but smart business right there and hard to argue that it isn't a great looking figure.

My guess is he may have recently signed a deal so they already have IRS ready to go then ready for 2025 we may see other looks Didn't know his previous deal expired. Unless they have Barry Windham under contract, a solo U.S. Express figure would feel so incomplete. Other than that, I don't know how many other looks you could do for him. An nWo version is really niche and just not unique enough to be necessary. Am I missing something? Maybe at least add a pattern deco to his tie to differentiate it from his previous figure.

Did anyone else notice that there was a tag on the case with ECW Dudley's and Headbangers that said they are tag team elite 2-packs that are exclusive to Mattel Creations? Didn't see it mentioned but happened to see a video late last night that peaked the tag on the case. Also said that territories 4-pack is gonna be up to order on May 15th and confirmed that Doink Bushwhackers, red Bloodline Zayn and Dusty gear KO are the next SvS Elite set. Did they say anything about including alternate standard heads for the Bushwhackers? Would like to assume normal heads will definitely be included since they haven't had figures in such a long time and the Doink look is EXTREMELY niche.

Unreal they cannot get Roman right. Looks bad. No sympathy from this Bret Hart fan.

I know it would be a complicated one to get but how cool would Bogus Sting be as a mattel figure? Yeh I would love an NWO Sting, AFA clarified a while back that for that to theoretically happen, both Steve Borden and Jeff Farmer would need to be signed. So pretty unlikely to ever happen unfortunately. Nick Patrick is another NWO member that would make a great figure, have a serious headscan with goatee, molded classic blue attire, BUT throw in a removeable NWO shirt, neckbrace and sunglasses and you've got a 2-in-1 referee that can work for WCW above board or turn heel and join NWO. A Mortis/Glacier set would probably be an instant sellout even if you have no emotional attachment to that era. They just look cool.

Would be nice to see some more WCW surprises today. i.e. "First Time" and "Deep Dive" names. I unfortunately don't see the likes of El Dandy or Prince Iaukia cracking the MNW lineup.

After what's been shown so far let's hope not!! All the turtles come with an American flag and a belt around their waist in the package if those oddly specific details do anything for you.

Those TMNT crossover figures are really cool and look incredible. Cody as Casey Jones with that awesome mask would be a tough pass for me if I ever saw it in the wild and I don't even collect current people.
