Now i don't understand this at all. Barretta gets a figure yet he hasn't been on TV since (Correct me if im wrong) Mattel said there are superstars that we haven't had yet because they don't get TV time. Mattel wants to release the whole roster but they can only do it when it's feasible, like a 2-Pack with Mark Henry since he does kinda sell. If this pack fails, which I doubt since it will be released 1 per case of 6, Mattel will stop making jobbers without TV time. Hopefully they release a 2-Pack with Brodus and Curt Hawkins for all the Hawkins fan boys.

I honestly feel like there is way too much nitpicking going on. I'm a big fan of Trent, but I honestly never thought we would get a figure of him. Now that we do, people just complain. I think the expression is pretty appropriate to be honest, and they killed the attire. Plus, how many times have people talked sh** about a Mattel scan and then we get it in hand and it's really good? A ton by my count. I'm really excited to be getting Trent, and I think it looks great. I hope we keep getting the lesser known guys in similar style sets.

Like the Jinder, Trent, & Hornswoggle. Was hoping Punk was in his MITB tights but I'll live.

I don't collect basics but I can see these sets are subpar. I don't know who Trent really is, but it looks like Mattel saved some money by killing 2 birds with 1 stone, and tweaked a BOPPV Bret Hart head. It kinds looks like Steven Seagal.
I think Mattel has issues making brown guys. Del Rios figures are so so, then we get this big headed guy who looks like the guitarist from No Doubt. I don't know if it is just me but are there really that many guys who have a Miz style haircut.
Why is Mattel still using Cena's 1st headscan. He has 4 of them and with the last one being the best and they use this one. Maybe they are still sitting on a million of these heads and this is the best way for them to get rid of them, but he sells... remember that. CM Punk is just plain boring. Other than the 2 pack with Macho Man they keep giving us black attire ever since they made him with short hair, even his Flex Force figure. I hope the Elite is much better.
Again I don't collect basics, but if I did I would cancel any preorders. It is really sad when Randy Orton is the best looking one... It kinda makes you wonder if the other figures where made to look cheap on purpose so Mattel can say "Ha, We told you Orton is a big seller." I still think he will pegwarm so I am in no rush to get the new headscan for my current Elite, and Horswaggle isn't a bad figure but I wouldn't go out of my way to hunt for him or pay on-line as he is overpriced as it is.

Fantastic attire for Gabriel. Looks like I'm accidentally going to have bought all of his figures... I'll get Jinder, but it could have been better. And, I'm glad I haven't bought any of the recent Henry figures, because I'm definitely picking up that 2-pack. Thanks for the images.

B19 sucks. A bunch of repaints and a Jinder Mahal. BP 5 isn't all that great either. Trent looks good, but other than that more repaints.

Jinder is based off of his debut when he didn't have the full beard, its actually a pretty good figure, basic 19 4 midcard jobbers, a main eventer that don't sell and a comedy act. the 2 best selling figures will be Jinder and Hornswoggle.
battlepacks 5 Trent looks pretty good the other 5 are just more of the same series fillers.

Trent looks a bit off in the face, but it'll most likely be the only release of his so I'm grabbing it! I'm all for obscure names and at-least he's a first timer.
Punk looks disappointing....will pick up Air Boom, Orton, Mahal and the Trent pack.

Orton looks good from the Basic series, as does Henry from the 2 packs.
