Elite 2, it was a joy to see them in my area, those were my first mattel figures.

Elite 17 Sheamus and the WM28 CM Punk are the first time that any elite figures have come with a title that the wrestler still holds, right? Which is a testament to the length of their title reigns and how quick the turnaround has been on some of them.

Wow thanks for all your answers. Most gave great explanations on why you feel that way.
Every set will have a warmer or two...but for me 17 only has one in Sheamus.
This will be my first ever Cena, he is wearing a very popular colorway that will probably do very well at retail and not rot like lesser Cenas.
Mankind is a tremendous Flashback, Kofi has one of best paint jobs I've seen, and all the belts = winner.
Again, had Sheamus come with a shiny belt, there would be very few holes in this set outside of Kofi sorta being a glorified job guy.

Ooh, this is a tough one! I'd go with: Elite 8: awesome Sheamus and Drew (with shiny belts), awesome Undertaker, Regal and Bourne, decent Edge Elite 12: awesome Bryan (with US belt), Gabriel and Del Rio, good Orton, great Flashback Kane and Papa Shango My fave though would probably be Elite 14: awesome Rock, Cena, Taker, Del Rio (with shiny WWE belt), and 2 great Flashbacks in Booker T and Big Bossman. Can I ask what in the blue hell is appealing to you guys about E17? 3 Shelfwarmers, a cool Ryder fig with a terrible scan,a released Diva, and an awesome Mankind that won't be anywhere in stores. ...just because they may be shelf-warmers, doesn't mean they're not great figures: the "Rise Above Hate" Cena is fantastic (possibly his best figure yet); the Sheamus is in his new gear and comes with the title belt; and Kofi is a good figure (that again, comes with a belt). As for the others: Kelly is the first official Elite Diva and comes with a (much-needed after the Basic one) great-looking Diva's belt; Ryder is actually a pretty-good scan and comes with shades and the long-awaited Internet belt; and Mankind is awesome and Foley's first (of many, hopefully) Mattel figure. All in all, a fantastic set.
