I loved the EG line...but they said they switched it to DM where they could justify the higher price with the extra details of the soft goods and the Elite body type

I did to, maybe it cost more to put the 3 seconds of music in the box and my not have been selling well. I now have the Dibiase, Piper, Jericho and HBK. So I think I'm just missing Rock, HHH, Rey, and Taker. (am i right is that all of them)

I have everyone except Taker in the EGs line, I just didn't really care for the figure too much but most of the EGs figures remain some of my favorites in my collection. HBK, Jericho and Piper are easily in my top 10 favorite figures Mattel has put out to-date, and I loved the EG line.
DMs are turning out to be amazing as well though so I guess it's a fair trade off. I do miss the EGs figures though. I wonder if the line would have been considerably cheaper had they not done the entrance music clip. Had the price point been in the $15-$18 range I'm guessing they would have sold better.

personally i think it was a good decision, to have the highest price line being elite instead of basic and have more accessories instead of a childish stand that plays music. seems like a no brainer.

I got DiBiase and Taker so I could do Elite fix ups with them.....It was a decent series but I can see why it didnt last.

I also never noticed the switch before and thought all the stands played a pointless 3 seconds of music. This, kinda changes things. ;D |

I thought it was just on hold. Imagine if plans went through and Ric Flair was going to be in the first series before signing with TNA...

I've got all the EGs except the Jericho which i didn't want.
I wish they were made in elite in the first place.
I rather they have the music basic which is so unique.
There were tons of soft goods that accompanied EG.
Mattel is making a far bigger profit on DM than EG.
Making the music base is more expensive than a normal gold coloured base.
And both have tons of cloth goods anyway.

Wow! I wasn't aware of that. My son always likes it when I play my dibiase's music but it would only go for a few seconds and I'd have to do it again.
However, I'm keeping my Piper and Dibiase on the box because I'm getting them autographed is there anyway to turn that switch without messing up the packaging?
