It's real. It's a repackage Will it ever be released? What's the story about it? The seller, who ended up getting $55 for it  , said it was a signature series chase figure. He evidently has a store and said it was the only one he has seen. I'm not sure what series it shipped with though, maybe the very last shipments of the latest Signature Series? |

Funny thing about the Elite Build a figure. He did not actually appear at Wrestlemania. This set changed to a WM themed set late in the game so to speak. Our Build a Figures follow the same schedule as our regular figures so there is no way it could be Teddy or Johnny in time as they need new tooling. I don't think anyone will be disappointed when they see who it is unless they are a real stickler over the fact he was not actually on the show. So its a Lesnar figure using parts from the 2-Pack Rock and a new head...... |

Hopefully the wm28 line makes its way over to the uk this time. Can't wait for the undertaker flashback and most definitely looking forward to the new masked Kane.

thats gotta be the most random thing...
why weren't those in stores with the 30 cases TRU/Walmart/Kmart received?
does this mean we can look forward to ANOTHER wave of Signature Series Reys & Cenas clogging pegs?

I'd like to see what a Rock figure would look like using the new Otunga torso, or maybe even the newest Cena torso.

And for the low, low price of 40 smackers, it can be yours! |

Not to top this but I doubt it's Ricardo Rodriguez if they are advertising it in the Big Toy Book this year. How come no one has said Vince with retooling? That seems the most likely to me.

The Big Toy Book will be advertising an Elite on it's own and many think it is Undertaker. If it's Ricardo, he's part of the BAF like TRU PPV was but instead its WM28. |

Yeah I know the figure is a build a figure but someone above said it would be advertised in the big toy book but I guess they were mistaken. While Ricardo is possible, I still feel like it very well could be Vince Mcmahon with new tooling so that he isn't so tall. |

I hope it's Paul Bearer or another manager. |

I did say that it was going to be Vince Mcmahon in another thread earlier today and I still fully expect it. It makes alot of sense as Mattel likes to make multiple releases of their molds, because its cheaper, saving money and alot of people werent able to get the Vince figure because of TRU's poor selection of figures to buy during the promotion. They are not going to do some random lower midcarder because most people will not buy 4 expensive figures for somebody like Ricky Retardo Rodriguez. It will most likely be a repainted Vince with a new head or legs or something. |

While a Ricardo Rodriguez might not sell on it's own I can't see him being a strong enough figure for people to buy for other figures for either. I'm still going with Vince and personally I hope that it is Vince because I missed out on the last one because of poor distribution. |

the figure going to be advertised in the Big Book....AND the figure w/ the "new tooling" are both the Special Elite figure. Not the BAF.
Mattel said in an old Q & A that they would most likely re-release McMahon at retail. I kinda doubt TRU would be cool w/ a repaint of a figure they already had for a special promotion....as there BAF. But who knows.
i'm still thinking Ricardo Rodriguez BAF and WM28 Buzz-hawk Undertaker as the Special elite.

Maybe the special elite will be HBK in referee outfit.
