Anyone else think Mattel's photography leaves a lot to be desired? I mean, the figures (to me) in the past have looked SO much better in person than in their pics.

I love how much attention to detail there is on the Basics. Even the ribbon is on Shelton Benjamins kickpad.

I like the Basic Shelton and Orton, plus the Elite Christian is decent.

I know how this is gonna sound, but bits not what you think, i'm just curious. Does anyone else think that Mickie's breast look bigger in the Moc pic than in the proto?  |

Mickie is really good. They sure have a lot of detail and if they wanted all they have to do is make the blue either silverish for her NOC attire or darker blue for her Survivor Series attire.
I so want that fig in 1/1000 form! That would be tight to get signed.
A lot of the others are great as well. Mattel did a great job and thanks a lot for uploading them all!

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. I didn't notice this until you post it . If he would of had on the smaller knee pads like in 2pack series , this figure would be.. PERFECT! But its ok , we'll just have to do a little fix-up |

Damn, they Jack Swaggered up Christians headscan. Ill still get it though.
Don't know about the rest, might get HBK, don't care for the attire or scan too much. If I ever find the Cena or can get him for a good price, Ill get him. I really want it, it looks awesome, but I just know he'll fly off the shelves and Ill never see him.
And what's with the hate on Christians tracksuit? Hows it too big/baggy? Thats how it is on TV, and if it were any smaller thered by problems taking it off. Besides now itll fit Jakks figures and that will make some people happy.

Jericho, Shelton, and Orton will be bought for sure.
I don't collect Elites, but, unless I see a Basic Christian prototype soon, I'll but that to hold me over.
All around, good looking figures though. I'm impressed by the Mickie James figure too, just won't be buying it as I don't collect Divas.

I like the Jericho, but its such an old attire... It is a little old but for some of us who sold our jakks off its a welcome sight. I want as many different Jerichos as possible. I hope we eventually get this attire but in black. Did anyone notice that Undertaker is in his WM 25 gear? |

Thanks for posting the links, I wouldn't have checked the Facebook page as I thought we would have to wait until the weekend (Toyfair) to see new figures. Orton, Mickie and Rhodes are mine. Wonder what the weekend will bring.

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. You have to be right about it being basic 4! I just noticed after i read your post that the Michaels with the black hat appears to have a basic chest! |

I will only get Michaels and Shelton. That Michaels isn't even very good. I can wait for the basic Christian. I don't really like the Mickey. If that Orton would come out before the elite I would get it, but I can't wait another 4 months for an Orton (England is slow). I am happy with my Jakks Khali.
