So @ sdcc we'll prob see elite camo cena, will def see the new kofi, prob see kane + mankind , maybe a new ryder. Im just hoping for some new 80s or 90s legends. Anvil, earthquake, honky tonk man.
Im guessing we will see a new shawn micheals elite @ sdcc.
Im also guessing shawn or mick foley will be the guest of honor showing off their new figure

Still really surprised at how big this set is already. Only thing I see in it besides the Nash's are Punk and Rock. But I'm happy for the guys that want Zeke and Slater.
I'll probably hold off on getting the Punk or Rock until we see photos. If they're good, I might pick them up. I'm trying to just limit myself to figures of guys I don't have yet.

EDIT: BOOO, already have 2 jakks NWO/Outsiders Nash figs, no need for a mattel one, just give me a modern Nash instead. Mattel have already lost one sale from me. If Diesel is in the same attire we already have in CS they've lost the other.

Happy to see Diesel and nwo variant, not happy to see orton and heath slater. ROck has had several elites at this point, not happy with that but oh well. Dont see ezekiel jackson being a huge seller either, not at elite prices. Overall, pretty disappointed in this set but not surprised. I really hope Diesel comes with the winged eagle title WWF belt.

I'm pulling for a HTM but that seems more like a Matty Collector figure if I'm honest.

...I just thought - with the 2 Nash figures, they'll hopefully do the same with Foley... have Mankind and also Cactus Jack or Dude Love...

Diesel must have sold out in minutes because I check the site constantly and RSC is even my homepage and I missed the pre order.
I hate when Mattel has 2 of basically the same guy in the same series. They gave Kevin Nash the Kerry Von Erich treatment. I rather have had Diesel and Studd(to go with bundy).
Mattel is doing good with legends considering the circumstances. Arn will be the 50th different legend which is a decent legend collection in my opinion.
Legends sell hot on RSC why don't they make the legends line an RSC exclusive and bring back the legends line. Yokozuna and Diesel sold out fast. A legends market is out there for sure!

If I'm getting specific I really want a Cactus Jack from NWO 2000, but I figure with a variant it will increase the likelihood I actually get one of those two. A 3 faces of Foley in Mattel form would be awesome, I just don't see it as very realistic. Dude Love probably stands to be the odd gimmick out if I were to guess.

I look at it the same way as I viewed Legends S6... although we're getting 2 versions of the same guy, we're getting an extra figure in the series - eg. 2 versions of 1 guy (and 7 figures) is better than just the 1 version (and 6 figures).

Yokozuna and Diesel sold out fast. A legends market is out there for sure! Those are probably going to end up being 4 of my favorite Mattel figures that have been made so far, as Nash and Kerry are two of my favorites. Additionally, you wouldn't be getting another figure, you'd just not be getting the variant of the guy. So really, you'd have 2 less options. I prefer WCCW and Diesel, but I'm glad as hell I have Texas Tornado, and am getting WCW Nash.

Well then they should put 7 figures in every elite wave and have the 7th one be a repainted flashback or legends figure. Then we could get a sarge in camo, bulldog with long hair, roberts repaint, rude repaint, warrior repaint, legion of doom , etc. They could short pack them too.

Because selling a few cases to RSC alone doesn't make a figure profitable. They can do a few RSC exclusives a year, but I doubt it'd make financial sense for them to do six every other month. Ringside would have to buy a lot of stock to produce such a run. Plus if they did it, people here would still be bellyaching over the price. "Why r Legends $30 now? They were $3 at retail near me!"

THere was a post earlier in the thread from Bill aka "MDT" who is on the design team at Mattel-he said that the Kevin Nash will be in red with the NWO Belt, so it's from WCW days. Personally I expect his debut figure from BATB 96 with "The OUtsiders" across his singlet.

How can say they pulled a guy because his tv time plummeted yet Slater & Zeke are included ?
I hate this 'TV time' BS that Mattel throws out.. Mysterio hasn't been seen for god knows how long yet they keep shoving figures of him down everyone's throats.

Notes on this set: Rock will be from Survivor Series with goatee Diesel is Old School Diesel from 1994-1995. Nash is in Red with NWO version of the World title. Randy Orton was put in assortment when it was thought we would need another Elite Orton at retail in 2012. Obviously with the E12 Orton sticking around a lot longer on the pegs than we would have liked this was not the case, but with Elite we have to plan almost a year out to account for extras like accessories and soft goods. We actually toyed with removing him completely from the assortment but could not, as we had to remove another figure who's TV time fell off the face of the earth to add Rock, and did not have another standby choice ready to go. In any case he will actually be somewhat rare as he is not being produced in a great number. Heath Slater's outfit is one we can only really reproduce accurately in Elite due to the amount of deco. He will include a brand new accessory as well, our first ever Elite Super Sized Ladder ( to commemorate his participation in Money in the Bank last year). Thanks Bill All of this is very exciting. Rocky from SS last year will be awesome, finally a goatee!
