I just can't justify the price, though. I don't want the belt, and I don't need that DVD, either. If this set was $10 cheaper, I'd go ahead and get it, but I just can't do it for $35. I'm at the same place you are. I wanted it so bad when I saw it, and now I want it even more but I can't put out $35 for a repaint Cena and an Edge that will be push aside by the modern 2 pack one. I don't want the belt or the DVD, if only it was a two pack. |

It's not insane. Jakks was just super, rediculously cheap. Action figures are representations of their real-life counterparts. Mattel pays attention to detail, as they should, because it makes them the best WWE fig maker. We got so used to Jakks' cheap, careless, half-ass antics about minimal detail, small design size and poor part choices. Mattel is simply amazing. QFT. I absolutely love Mattel and the job they have done with the WWE figures thus far, and am glad to say that I have made the switch. In fact, I have 70+ Jakks figures on Classifieds right now [Hint hint!!!] |

Excellent pack. Such great deco detail. I dont own an Edge or Cena yet so I may do this. The only thing is its a little pricey and I dont want the DVD or belt. I'll wait til I see it in person.

Wow. What a great looking set. Mattel really went all out on the detail for both of these. I'm definitely going to be buying this!

I really think the lack of detail on the front of Orton's trunks was an oversight. If Mattel was just going to be cheap...why did they give him his tats and his name on the back of his trunks? Plus the HHH was nice. It may not have come with stands or the DVD...but it was cheaper. |

Amazing. The detail is phenomenal no doubt. They even did the back logos for Cena. Great work from mattel....yet again.

A really nice set wonder if we will get these in the UK or just the belts on there own. For people who think there a bit expensive why not sell on the belt and dvd on ebay you could easily get $10-15 bucks for it which then makes the 2 figures a pretty sweet deal lol.

Nice. Not at my area TRU yet. But it wasn't a total waste of a trip as I picked up another Elite Edge and then at Target I found a fellow boardmember a 1/1000 Austin.

I am guessing their match from either Royal Rumble 2006, Summerslam 2006 or Unforgiven 2006. |
