Most of those figures there look cool. I'm definitely getting elite series 3 and basic series 3 Jericho, Orton, and Benjamin.

Elite - Liking christian and HBK, christian needs his wrist tape and hbk a lighter hair colour. Miz is really good but think will just get him in trunks.
Basic - Finaly a gold standard shelton. Jericho is really nice, do love that attire. orton looks good, not sure which to get yet, either elite or basic.

-Elite Cody Rhodes will make a decent temporary Austin. Cena can be updated by an easy arm switch with his Survivor Series figure(I don't care about an updated Shirt/Hat) -At least with Basic Jericho we know we will get the kicker deco (hello Jakks) -I Like how Mattel tries to place the figures in the wrestlers pose.

Now that is a figure worthy of the Gold Standard! I love it!
I'll pick up Shelton, Khali, Mickie, and of coarse Orton. Might even get Christian even though I don't collect to many Elite. And maybe Shawn & Miz for head swaps.

These pretty much all look outdated besides Shelton Benjamin, Undertaker, and Piggy James. Not too impressed actually.
I like The Miz, Jericho, & Khali alot... will probably buy Shelton Benjamin & Mickie James but the rest are wack.
I bet they will look better in person though.

Michaels does not have his BEARD! And his hat is a different color, so maybe they are two completely different figures? Could maybe be Basic series 4 HBK? The Torsos look different too.

Love the elite Christian, that looks to be my most favourite figure...ever. Also the basic Shelton is great.

I'm loving that the Basic Divas are basically (no pun intended) Elites for the price of basics. Mickie looks amazing, and could be my first basic. I am thinking of grabbing the Glamarella 2-pack now just for Beth, because the Elite Santino is nothing spectacular, but the other series three elites look awesome, especially Miz, HBK, and Cody. I am glad that these proto images make the Christian scan look better than the old photo in the checklist thread, but his tracksuit is awfully oversized, hopefully the same mistake isn't repeated with Kofi in Elite 4. I'll get Cena, but he may be one of the worst Elites. Why not give his elite figure molded arm and wristbands? Why have his lower leg rotate above the ankle and not below his shorts? Also, I'm starting to think that Mattel is holding out on giving us the most recent Jericho attire for his Elite figure.

There are a lot of nice repaints in the third assortments of each series, but I'll more than likely pass on all except the new Basic figures - The Great Khali, Mickie James, and Shelton Benjamin.
Basic Series 3 Orton is a maybe for me, but I would prefer dark blue logos on the trunks.
It's unfortunate that Mattel didn't fix the hair color of the Elite Series 3 HBK before prototypes were shown, and Christian looks more like Val Venis than anyone else to me.
Elite Series 3 John Cena should be a huge seller, and Cody Rhodes looks like an upgrade from the Basic 2-Packs Series 1 figure with the updated attire and painted-on socks, so that's a good thing for Elite collectors.

Great! I'll get all of Elite and maybe Jericho in basic. I'm collecting every Elite figure, so I'd rather have Elite versions of most of those. Jericho would be my first choice from Basic 3

Mattel is truly putting forth a strong effort.

ELITE: Santino, Cody and Cena are great. Michaels is pretty good but really could've done with the beard. Christian is pretty bad - no wrist tape, his torso is way too bulky, and his entrance attire is ridiculously big. Christian could eat Fat Albert and still that tracksuit would be a million sizes too big. That's why I hate cloth jackets and trousers on wrestling figures, it always looks absurd. Miz is superb, even has the "I'M AWESOME" arm sleeve! I would've preferred the black hat though.
BASIC: Jericho is very good, my only problem with it is the kneepads. The kneepads he has in the two-pack are fine, no need to give him the more restrictive larger ones. Undertaker's fine, but I probably won't get that one. Elite 1 and Survivor Series will be enough for me until we get a new headsculpt or different enough deco. Khali and Orton are pretty much perfect. Mickie's good too, head seems a little undersized for the body but nevermind. The Shelton figure is pretty great, but I was thinking 'why has he got kickpads with painted on laces rather than just boots?' So I checked wwe.com and he wears kickpads with painted on laces! Never noticed that before.
I'll probably get them all besides Undertaker.
