From the moment i saw foley without a mask (when he was first shown) i was pissed, jakks did the head perfect, the hair shouldn't be that huge it should of been thin rubber like jakks so the mask could slide. The gap looks terrible. I thought that mankind was going to be the one to get me into mattel figures...

Thanks for the pics! I don't care how "uncool" it is - but that Cena is awesome. I'm not too bothered about the gap in Mankind's hair at the back... I mean, all the figures (either loose or MOC) are displayed with the front on show, so...

He was probably also referring to the gap on the sides when u remove the mask. It really does look odd. With the mask on, the figure is a 9. U take it off and its a 7. I was thinking of Cactus Jack or Dude Love possibilities. I guess u could heat the hair up and put a clamp on it. That might lessen the gap.
On a side note....since the big gap is there. I think i can see that his right ear is actually disfigured like IRL.

Great pics, had some real umming and ahhing over this set
Think it now stands at
Cena - maybe down the line, not essential, great figure though Kelly Kelly - Gunna get if I see her at a good price, ain't being ripped off just for Diva's title Mankind - Its a average figure for me, don't like the shirt, like the fact you can remove the mask, like the head scan, as it's his only figure, I'll get it at retail price Ryder - Pass, happy with E9 Kofi - love it, not as much as WM Elite you show him with, but getting it to complete Air Bourne Sheamus - pass, too similar to the Extreme Rules basic, although love the head scan, don't like the redder hair, prefere his old elite.
So thats Kofi, Kelly Kelly, Mankind picking up and Cena if I have the cash

The Mankind figure looks like a let down, but the Ryder figure looks better than I expected.
John Cena looks really good.

Hey Kody, how are the ankle joints on Cena as compared to his other figures? It looks like they did something different with them.

I felt the same way about E14 Cena and E15 Mysterio, they are much more "playable" than their predecessors. I remember holding the Cena in my hands thinking "I like this?...I like this!", and they both went on to shelfwarm despite the improvements.

Seriously, I hate the way Mattel is inconstant about how they do facial/hair. Look at some figures' eyebrows, Triple H's and Randy Orton's beard, and of course this Zack's 'stache. Ryder's head is pretty perfect. He had a pretty thick 5 O'clock shadow going at one point not long ago.. It's not really perfect, because as you can see from these pics, he doesn't have ORANGE hair. Seriously Mattel's obsession with ginger/orange hair needs to stop... either that or get someone who is not colour-blind to do the painting.

I think Mankinds fine. I'll be keeping his mask on all the time like i think It should. It looks perfect like that. I'm sure in the future a Dude Love,Cactus Jack and Mick Foley will appear from Mattel.

So thats Kofi, Kelly Kelly, Mankind picking up and Cena if I have the cash Sheamus' hair isn't really that red but it's darker than the ginger/orange on his E8. I swapped out E8 and Extreme Rules headscan simply the color is closer to what it is in real life.

I have to say that this is a really good Elite Set.
I too would like to have that Cena figure. The knee design is awsome, and I kinda wish all the figures had molded knee pads on them. I am also happy that Mattel desided to airbrush the hair on that headscan this time around. I have the BOPPV Elite Cena and it is a really good figure, but I don't like the lack of paint apps to his hair line. With the ballcap on his head he looks like he is trying to audition for the remake of Philadelphia.
I think if this Mankind figure had a molded mask it wouldn't look so odd with the mask off. I am not against this figure in anyway because Jakks' Mankind figures where the opposite... looks great without the mask but with it looked goofy and odd as the headscan Jakks made wasn't good for accomodating the mask. I am just glad to see that it doesn't have buldging biceps with the sleeves cut off at the shoulders like Jakks and depite a couple of flaws it is the most accurate Mankind figure IMHO. I dark wash to his hair wouldn't hurt. I just wish I got the SDCC Undertaker so I can display them both in my RSR HitC.
The other figures are great too. I can take or leave Sheamus, and prefer Kofi's last headscan but the rest are must haves for me.

So the Ryder is spot on to anyone who really knows it.

IDK about the ankles on Cena. Its the only cena figure i have.
But he stood in my cabinet all night long w/ no problems.
honestly the only figure I have that consistently falls down is my DDP
