The Undertaker figure is cool, but I'm not sure we need more of him, his Elite 8 figure is an all time shelf warmer. Michael Cole's head looks awful.

First I'll start with my gripes, so it can only get better from here... -that Bret Hart figure is totally innacurate, never wore that shirt while wrestling and should have Pink wrist tape (and leather jacket, but I understand that would be too much) -Elite Rock doesn't have a shirt...when have we seen him without one since his return? Hopefully we get a USA bull shirt...and he hasn't wrestled yet, so what trunks are they going to give him? More than likely ones that turn out to be innacurate, unless they asked Rock which he will be wearing at SVS. -TRIPLE H HEADSCAN!!! Why do they keep using the same shitty one...use the awesome new one Mattel!!! The old one sucks shit... -Why is Rey Mysterio always in black? Make a red one... -NEXUS ARMBAND MISSING!!! on both Mason Ryan and CM Punk...this cannot be ignored! -Macho Man is purple...really? Why not pink to match Punk? I guess they are holding pink attire off for an Elite Savage (let's hope...) -not really Mattel's fault...but that Barrett scan should have been the first one out! It's aweomse and fits the Nexus era much more I think. -DDP headscan... ...and now to the good... -Bret Hart headscan is spot on! -Triple H attire is amazing! -FINALLY A MICHAEL COLE FIGURE...after 10 years of wanting one! -Finally a Daniel Bryan in his Nexus attire! Just need an extra Nexus armband now. -Both Cena's (exact same other than shorts and shoes) are amazing! Love the new headscan, perfect! -The Elite Undertaker looks amazing, always wanted a version of him from Mania 26, now we get a perfect one! -Booker T looks great...even though I'd kill for a commentator one which is probably my most wanted figure at this point -King Sheamus looks phenominal, the figure I wanted most for months now! -Cody Rhodes is...perfect. No other word to describe that figure! -PPV flashback Undertaker looks cool, never got a Taker from that era (04-05) so I'll try to pick that one up -even though I'm not interested, Brodus Clay looks ing out of this world...maybe Mattel's best to date. -not into Rumblers, but the Rock/Cena look great and that MITB briefcase is awesome!!! -HOLY SHITE!!! Brood Edge!!! I have wanted one for so long, and this looks amazing! so those are my thoughts, can anyone post which guys are in which series because there are so many Elites that I am kinda confused...

-that Bret Hart figure is totally innacurate, never wore that shirt while wrestling and should have Pink wrist tape (and leather jacket, but I understand that would be too much) I don't think the jacket is too much. The t-shirt should be molded on (as he hasn't been topless since he returned) and the leather jacket should be the accessory. Someone posted a picture of it with the pants pulled down. It's the trunks from WM20, I believe. What? We got the Mania 26 one last year. Edit: Just realised you were referring to the new elite in the WM26 entrance gear. Someone's done a thread of the Lineups from RSFest.

I am glad they finally made Layla; shame they are taking so slow with the divas.
Heath and Justin with the current tag belts is great.
I like a lot of other stuff I saw as well like Elite Ziggler with the WHT, Elite Cody, flashback Edge, a Macho Man Punk, King Sheamus, King Booker, and Cole.

I'm excited for a lot of these things (mostly the modern Bret, WM27 HHH, and Punk/Macho set), but I was really looking forward to DDP. That headscan's pretty disappointing though.

Yeah, I understand the gripe (as it doesn't make a whole lot of sense), but I for one am happy they went this route. I play with my figures, so I'm happy they don't look identical. I'll ignore the matching knee pads and stars on the tights

So glad we finally get the Nagata Daniel Bryan. Michael Cole's headscan looks like a mix of Evan Bourne and a chipmunk. I'm not going to go on because all of the figures look amazing. I just have one problem, Daniel Bryan's Rumbler is BLONDE! At least they could get past with the ginger look, but now, really!?

Wow very awesome figures, saw these earlier but i was on my phone and couldn't be bothered commenting because of the stupid spell check, anyways i love them all, not sure if Booker ever had such a ripped torso but it works...i would have preferred the one used on the newer elites such as Barret and Sheamus, also I don't know if anyone else noticed but the chest on Kofi's figure is a unique torso they made just for him...you can tell because of how his pecks are placed a bit far apart and more inward such as in real life and i think Mattel is awesome for doing that! I'll be picking up all the elites besides the WM repaints hopefully if i don't miss out on the pre-orders.

Ok I have some time now.... let me share my thoughts:
WM 27 Elite's... part 2? I guess we're getting more 'Mania 27 Elite's which is fine by me. Love it. The fact that Michael Cole is a build a figure is really interesting. I have no problem buying all the figures to gain a Cole out of it! Bret is awesome. Cena in red looks epic in Elite. Love the Bryan and that shirt. And the HHH is just sickkkk.
We're getting a Backstage set? Looks plain. Like the Henry, Rey and Christian though. Looking good.
Elite 13 is Sheamus, Dolph, Cody, Show, Edge and Rey? They all look good. I'll probably end up with the whole set. Love that Cody comes with the freakin' bag!!! Epic.
2-packs 14 is really cool. Punk/Macho is a great pack. Orton/Ryan is great for an updated Orton and a debut figure in Ryan. Heath/Gabriel take the cake for this set though... love the new tag belts too.
WM Heritage set? Looks ok... might get Cena, Eddie and Swagger.
Liking new Kofi, Barret and Brodus figures...
RR Heritage is ok... nothing special though. Maybe HBK & Goldust for me.
Elite 14? Bossman, Rock, Cena, Taker and Booker? One more? Hmmm. First off I LOVE the Booker figure. What an awesome scan, attire and robe... so awesome. Cena... bleh, WM 27 is better. Rock... nice. Taker and Boosman look epic too.
Overall pretty awesome... I'm most excited for Elite Cody, Dolph, Rey, Brodus, BOOKER AND SHEAMUS! The others look alright too...

WOW. Lot's of things to discuss and look forward to!
-Was not expecting current Bret Hart. While I'm happy to see him, there are a few things that bug me. But first, they did an excellent job with his scan. Mattel are good at capturing Bret's likeness. But the navy blue Cena shorts are kinda off-putting. They need to put texture in their jeans. This was one of Jakks' strongpoints. And the shirt, while it looks fine, didn't need to be cloth. We don't need to take off Bret's shirt. His 2010 return jacket was what I wanted to see, with a regular molded on shirt. Not sure on this one...but at least the scan is good.
-Triple H looks AWESOME. I love that the cape part isn't straight brown. Really makes it look quality.
-Finally we get a Michael Cole figure! He's a build-a-figure from what I've heard, too...interesting to see how that will work. Hopefully the scale isn't too off.
-Ah, there's Daniel Bryan's Nagata attire. Really like the new shirt material.
-Cena in red, but with a twist - he has a removable armband! Nice touch, guys.
-I dig this backstage playset (for what it is). Mark Henry in a rare purple attire looks fantastic.
-Wowee, look at that Big Bossman. I can't wait to see side-by-side comparisons with the insult to Bossman Jakks put out in CS. He comes with glasses, ball and chain, nightstick, and handcuffs! Not to mention all the new molds on him. This is how it's done. Nice work!
-Great to see WM26 Undertaker. I really liked that jacket he wore - it was like a modern take on The Undertaker look.
-King Bookah! Right in time for that King of the Ring DVD set coming out late this year. I really don't like that torso they chose, but everything else looks pretty good.
-Speaking of KOTR, KING SHEAMUS! I thought the Celtic King had more potential as a unique twist on KOTR. Love this figure - it looks absolutely fantastic, and it also has Sheamus' best attire - dark green/shiny gold. Definitely getting this.
-Undashing Cody! It looks like it's based off of Wrestlemania 27, but since they went with cloth they didn't include his brown details in the jacket. I'm actually pretty surprised to see the paper bag since that is relatively new. Wonder if the kneepads were just used for the display or if they'll be on the final product?
-Good to see the new tag belts. Shame they were introduced in Basic before Elite, though. And speaking of belts, is the one that comes with Savage/Punk metalized? Looks great if not, but if so - sweet! Very glad they revived this 2-pack. Punk's brown chest tat actually doesn't look too bad with all the detail.
-Layla! Weird how it took so long to get her when she and Michelle were such a prominent part of the program up until Spring.
-Jesus Christ, look at Brodus. I never thought I'd say this, but Brodus is beautiful.
-Kofi has a new torso. Looks much more like his. I hate that attire and that scan though, personally. But hey, it's a step in the right direction. Also, I spotted a new smiling Wade Barrett head in that picture with Kofi!
-WM21 Taker! Did not expect that. Especially since he has a new scan. I like that they even made his pants gray opposed to all black. Swagger is hiding in the background there. New scan, reflective gold attire. Looks like a new later days Eddie in his black attire.
-DDP...hmmm. Not looking worth $20+shipping at the moment. Wish someone other that Toybiz would make the guy in his jeans w/ abdominal tape.
-Ziggler comes with the metalized WHC! Kinda cool to see him with the WHC since it lasted all of a episode of Smackdown. I really like the silver attire, too. I hope they just skip over the backwards DZ ones he wears now...they look awful.
-Rey is...well, alright I guess. The shirt doesn't work well with that attire. Not big on all the black in Rey's Elite figures. Let's see some more bright solid colors for him. If this was all yellow with a yellow shirt, I'd probably get it.
-Edge in his old tights! Looks like a modified jacket and modified E8 scan with longer hair. I'll have to get a better look at it. Hope to see a Christian in blue with a real mesh shirt in the Throwbacks line now!
-Big Show again? It's basically the same look as the last one...I guess if E10 is hard to find for most folks, this will suffice.
-We're getting 2 Cenas in his red. I like this one's jeans a lot better than the other one. Glad they both have the armband.
-Rock is alright. I display so any figure that has pointless trackpants (Elite 4 Kofi, hi!) I just discard, since it takes away from their attire. He's in his later-era Rock attire from Legends 3, only in light blue. Probably gonna be tough to find!
All in all, a very impressive showing as usual. ;D

jeez man DDP's headscan looks like crap. but i think part of it is the painting isn't very good. cos I thought the sculpt looked alright on the unpainted proto we saw. Still think a straight-faced/serious headscan would have looked loads better though. Hopefully we'll see another DDP at some point in future. Stalker version maybe. Sure it's not his most memorable gimmick, but if it's the only way a toy company will give us a non-smiling DPP... Michael Cole's headscan looks like a mix of Evan Bourne and a chipmunk. ahahaha!

ya that ddp isnt looking great, not a good way to start the top 5 excl. imo Same, imagine if we had Debut Kane, Papa Shango, Big Bossman, Edge Brood (not that I am a fan), Bret Hart, Yokozuna, etc. packed as Legends. I would have much rather seen characters of this caliber in the Legends line. I will get DDP but only 1 after seeing the scan. I am not hopeful for the mattycollector.com Legends. DDP is not what I expected and I think it is going to get worse as the year progresses (Bundy, Arn, Tully). I do not see these guys selling but who knows.
