Damn, looking at these makes me regret not starting my collection last year like I planned. I love the Elite belts!! Like that it's actually colored. So getting the Eddie Guerrero Legends figure.

OK now that we got Ringside's official stuff, here's my thoughts.
Positive stuff:
- All of the original Nexus 7 being released. Awesome. Daniel Bryan in that attire??? Amazing. - "Basic" belts? Nice idea, I have no need for them, but I will definitley be buying DB & Zig regardless, although I wonder if that's going to be a 4 pack of sorts? Or a set of 2 packs? Interesting why it's just those 4 and no tag team set. - Uso's look pretty great. I wish they'd use them more on TV. - Love the new Sheamus figs, all of them - Orton's new scan is amazing, he is one of those guys who just translates well into a figure. - Defining Moments Steamboat is incredible. - Surprised at the 2 Elite DiBiase's...I'm assuming 1 will be the variant, like Series 4 Jericho? If so I'd rather get the purple attire. Althought might get both for the extra M$ belt to use on my Basics. - Defining Moments is getting better & better. That Austin rules & The Undertaker is just badass - I'm very surprised that the Elite Gallows & MVP are being made, it's been awhile now since their releases. Either way, both are awesome - Elite Zack Ryder is perfect. Exactly how I wanted it to be. - In general, all the next couple of Elite sets are just amazing, makes me glad I decided to collect the line complete - Legends 6 is amazing, Eddie looks awesome, Warrior's scan is cool, and we're finally getting a Texas Tornado. Love it. - Belts are coming fast & furious. I can't get enough.
Negatives: (Keep in mind, I do realize these are protos...which means things could change in the final products...and some I hope do)
- Still with the oversized, immobile kneepads? I would've hoped they could have developed a new pad by now because those large ones just suck -Wade Barrett is too skinny, David Otunga is too skinny, Skip Sheffield is too skinny, Michael Tarver is too skinny. I really wish they would come up with a larger arm & torso. Tarver is not the same size as Gabriel - Daniel Bryan's scan is really off. Maybe it will look better in person...but in these pics, it's really bad. The one with the basic belt & updated attire has ORANGE hair!! (WTF?) - Hopefully they fix the shade of the all-green Sheamus - DM Austin's chain (while accurate) looks silly - Warrior's belt is ALL wrong...hopefully someone at Mattel catches this HUGE mistake - Kerry von Erich should not be in the same set twice under different gimmicks - HHH's DM is just not that good. I appreciate the efforts (by making it a double DM) but it's just all around weird looking. - I hope the new Elite Big Show's lower body is fixed, because right now he looks like he is wearing 1970's NBA shorts. - Eddie did not have orange boots...they were a gold-yellow. - Why no referee? Or any announcers? I think Mattel would be surprised at how well they would sell, especially considering they short pack so many people.
Overall I better start saving my pennies, because this entire line up should be out by the summer! I really am happy with so much of the stuff we've seen from Mattel. No matter what, they are putting a lot of effort into their WWE line I just wish the retail stores would stop raising prices and I really miss the Display Stands.

So, we can assume 2-Packs 10 is Tarver/Otunga, Gabriel/Young, and Orton/Edge. I'll be ordering this entire set, I think! Gotta have the Nexus and I'm in need of an updated Orton and Edge. Loving both of them.
And 2-Packs 11 will likely be Undertaker/Kane, Usos, and Rhodes/McIntyre. I'll pick up the Usos, that's it though. I'm sticking to the fact that Rhodes NEEDS the same torso as McIntyre, until then, my custom and the 2-Packs 8(just cause the attire is sick) will do fine.
And, Basic 11 has Skip and Bryan?! Nice, definitely going to pick them up, unless that updated Bryan with US Title will be out soon...
And Elite 10 Ryder and Miz will probably be bought by me.
In closing, I may need an extra job.

Elite Ryder is exactly how I wanted it. If my marks are averaged above 80, I'll ask if I can pre-order it.

Can anybody tell me what is a WORLD HLAVVWHTH WCCSRLIN CHAMDIDN? That is what the Warrior's belt says. I know that the titles dont mean much because they have so many, (I think they need to unify the World/WWE and have the US and IC be the top BRAND champs) but I thought it used to be WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLING CHAMPION) Otherwise, I like the painted titles, Eddie, Nexus, Show, Bryan and a few others. Wont be getting much cause I still have alot of JAKKS and cant afford to rebuild a collection, so I will just mix the best of JAKKS with the best of Mattel! BTW, why did they use the Triple H scan from Blade Trinity? That came out after 2002, didnt it? I guess we could all use it with our Scorpion King Rock and A-Team's Hannibel John Cena!

I'm almost in full agreement with your assessment of Mattel's showing, however I think a referee or an announcer is literally a one-time buy for most people. I'd love to have one believe me, but molds cost a lot. build-a-ref would be the way to go with this sorta thing.

I hope they fix the DM taker's hands before it's released. The figure has the MMA glove hand molded in flesh
