Love the Jericho jacket. We get the detail the plastic mold allows plus it's molded in a way that allows the signature Jericho pose, and it glows in the dark! Awesome. The head looks better close up, too.
Christian... I wish the mesh shirt wasn't removable and didn't have the big Velcro strip in the back, but the glasses are good and the figure overall is great. Can't wait to get it next to my flashback Edge.
Cena's good. Prefer the Toys R Us figure, but the dented case is cool. Did the younger kids on here really expect a giant ladder - an accessory that has thus far only appeared as the sole accessory? Unreasonable to expect that plus the case.
Santino... I like the Cobra, just wish the figure would've been in a red singlet to stand out more from his other figures.
Punk looks good. Don't care that he never wore that gear, his attire has so many colour variations that pretty much anything can work. Much prefer this head to the previous slicked-back one, too.
Cody's duster is cool, but I still hate that they give him limbs like a Hulk Hogan or something.

Jericho looks awesome with that jacket! I guess Codys jacket is rubber, right? Still good.
CM Punk is good, as well as Cena.. But I'm not a fan of Santino and Christian.

I think Jericho easily ate up the budget in this set. The jacket looks fantastic. Surprised how well it seems to glow. Must have for me.
Christian looks great and is another must-have for anybody with E13 Edge. 5-second pose on my display shelf coming up!
Cena is good and has some nice accessories, just find it weird that he won't come with the shirt when every other Elite of his does. Gonna have to pray that the Johnny Ace set comes to the UK or else we'll probably never have a complete green Elite Cena.
Rhodes is decent, the duster looks good but his figure looks bigger than the actual guy himself.
Santino is disappointing. Wish he came in the black and yellow (?) singlet. Also wish he had the black belt shirt to go with the cobra sock.
Punk is another disappointment. Guessing Hitman Punk will be an exclusive but even so his attire here is pretty so-so. If it's supposed to be based on the Bears colours then it's far too red. If it is literally just red and blue then I can't even think when he wore those at any significant event. Hopefully the spiderweb attire will be next.

The Jericho jacket looks nice but I've got a feeling it's going to be a bitch to get off with the way the arms are posed.

What an awesome set! I definitely want them all. Jericho steals the spot as #1 in my opinion.

I was really excited for this Cena.... now not so much. A basic ladder and the brief case is dented? The ladder and the briefcase were the whole reason I wanted this figure. Now that I know both accessories suck I am going to pass on him :/
Mattel dropped the ball here

Nobody had any reason to expect a giant ladder, and the dented case makes a nice change from the same red case that has come out a couple times before. |

I wasn't too excited about another red MITB case so the fact it's dented is a nice touch. And I have the ladder that came with Heath Slater so getting a different sized ladder is cool too. |

I'm actually glad Cena doesn't come with a tall ladder since I had to buy Heath Slater on-line and the ladder is what sold me on getting Heath Slater in the first place. I also suspected he wouldn't come with a tall ladder based on his other accessories. I will pass on him only because the accessories aren't great enough for me to want to buy another Cena when I already have the BOPPV Green Elite.
I'll also pass on Punk simply because I have too many already, should have been Hart attire.
I am definitley picking up the other figs because I don't have them excpet for Cody, but mine is from E3 so I definitely need to update him. I still might swap heads with my E3 Cody.
I might hit up my local fabric store and replace Jericho's sleeves. His jacket looks good, but I hate how plastic jackets hinders articulation.

E20 Cody seems to be darker, maybe same tan color as Dolph so I doubt the E3 will look good on it. |

As a super fan of CM Punk and all his memorabilia this has to be one of the best CM Punk figure released by Mattel.
1.) Love the attire & colors
2.) CM Punk has all his tattoos (Obviously No Pepsi, Cobra or Spit Fire), But finally the Zombie Girl color tattoo has been added as well as the dead fish he recently got. Absolutely amazing job by Mattel & I like that they made some of his little tattoos black.
3.) RESPECT, the VUM WWE Title will be Punk's accessory & I absolutely love it. To me the VUM title is more important & more significant than a Tshirt you can buy on ebay or off a site that makes Custom Tshirts for Wrestling figures.
4.) The head scan, I know every one loves the Elite 11 head scan and I do too, But the Basic 24 head scan is one of my favorites.
All in all Im a big fan of this set & Im glad I ordered the whole set back when I did. Mattel does such a great job with the elites. Best Toy Line In WORLD

I think we had reason......seeing as that Giant ladder was an integral part of that MITB match. And I believe it was Grim Kid who mentioned the ladder thing at Ringside fest |

I'm glad to have purchased/traded multiple E16 tall ladders since I kinda figured it was too good to be true to get a MITB case and a tall ladder in addition to Cena's accessories. It seemed too good to be true and it was.

Disappointed that Santino doesn't come with a shirt ... as others have mentioned, the figure is almost identical to his others (except for the Cobra).
Jericho's sweet, but the rest of the set is just OK ... nowhere near as good as E19.

If you don't want to hear about the realities of the toy-making business, don't complain on a site where those realities are discussed. If CM Punk didn't have all the different coloured tattoos, there'd be more chances of him being packed with a shirt. |

Absolutely boring set imo. Only interested in Jericho and his jacket and Cody.
