What's the most surprising figure that Mattel have made, in your opinion? Any that you thought "Wow, they're making that guy?!" or "I wasn't expecting to see him in those tights"?
I guess to a lesser extent, any surprising accessories that they've added with figures. I wasn't expecting to see all that stuff with Kamala or the chains with Kane, for example.

Jack Swagger with the extra singlet was pretty cool to see. Mark Henry with the weight set was awesome but really not something I would have expected to come with him.
The Jericho and Steamboat two pack was a shock to me. The Legends Steamboat was awesome since Jakks never did it, but then to turn around and release a more current version really wasn't something I was expecting.

Because if he is that has got to be the biggest mistake they've made I couldn't justify buying his two 2-packs at full price ($15) If they release an Elite version there's no way in hell that it wouldn't be the biggest perwarmer even at one per case. |

It's in the lineups we've had so far, and some shop sites have it up as coming in series 7. Hornswoggle figures have always been pretty popular, haven't they? It's definitely not going to sit on shelves if elite figures of guys like Kozlov, Chavo, Finlay and DiBiase have sold. Personally I can't wait for the elite Hornswoggle in DX gear. That, along with the HBK and HHH from the same series, are the figures I'm most looking forward to. |

I'm sorry PJ but I do not follow your logic at all.
Hornswoggle is still one of the most popular characters for kids on the show. In reality the WWE toy product is meant for kids. Why would it be a mistake to make a figure of a popular kids character?
Are you saying you cannot justify buying an action figure of him just because of his small size?

That would be a must have for me. |

I suppose if they load ol' Horny down with a bunch of accessories it would be money well spent, but why does he even need elite articulation? Theres not enough of him there to even make it necessary! lmao

If I dared to dream, I'd also want him to come with a little Mattel figure that he can play with if he helps DX win! I suppose if they load ol' Horny down with a bunch of accessories it would be money well spent, but why does he even need elite articulation? Theres not enough of him there to even make it necessary! lmao I expect it will be the same articulation as his two-pack figures. |

Elite Finlay was a surprise for sure.
I'm glad to see Hurricane and Knox make it to having figures instead of being replaced with John Cena and John Cena.
I was wondering what they'd do for Elite Kane. Going back that far to one story line for the chains....interesting choice to say the least. I'm good to see they KNOW what has happened in the WWE, or at least someone there does. Gives me hope for getting fun stuff later also.

Elite Jericho having essentially no accessories surprised me.
The sheer awesomeness of Million Dollar Man EG did too.
Special mention to the SDCC exclusive Deadman. Holy balls, surprising and amazing.

What kid can afford an elite figure? Or what kid is gonna convince their parents to shell out $15+ for one when a $10 version sits on the shelf next to it. |

I am still suprised at the attire choice of Sgt. Slaughter myself. Not the first attire that pops in my mind when I think of the Sgt.
