Depends on the figure, honestly. I can't really comment on the line up now as I'm not a big HHH or Mysterio fan, and the HBK figure just doesn't interest me.
I think a Mattel WM14 Undertaker would be fantastic, as well as perhaps some new age DX figures, complete with hats, shirts, and wristbands.
I don't collect as much as I used to, so to me, if the amount of detail is worth the price, then I'll purchase it.

Any time you aim something at "collectors", you get to add a few bucks to the price tag. That being said, I don't see these as some kind of rip-off at the $22 price point. It's a tad high, sure, but it also comes with a base that plays music. It's about $7 more than the Elite line and that covers the fancy base and all of the custom equipment. All of this "$22 for ONE figure!?" is sort of understating it, I think. You have to consider the total package, accessories, attention to detail, etc. Mattel isn't going to sell a ton of these and they spent a good bit on all the custom stuff that comes with it, so they gotta make some money off of it somehow. I'd rather them offer these for $22 than to not make them at all.

Sure I'll be getting the Triple H when I see it. Also for $21 it says that The Entrance Greats™ figure stands play each of the WWE Superstars’ famed entrance music.

If they all turn out to be as good as the three protos they have shown, I will be definitely buying all of them. I spent $25 for the Jakks King of Kings Triple H and the Mattel blows that one out of the water.

I think the problem is that these are NOT using the Elite body. It's the basic body with some extra accessories for more than double the price. At $22, these are a tough sell. I'm sure Rey will sell well, but I doubt the HHH and HBK will be good sellers.

Those entrance gear figures look better than EVERY SINGLE IE that has been produced. |

But Mattel did say they will have online figures, so imagine what there Ie's will be like? |
