divas have been pegwarmers since the Divas of doom figures. The days of them costing a ton is over....thankfully. talk about obscure. Not to mention over a year and 3 months old. Took me 10-15 mins to find this attire (i'm just glad its real....and not made up like all of AJ's basics) Smackdown 2/3/12 Primo & Epico vs Santino & Hacksaw Jim Duggan   she doesn't have the silver wristbands. My guess is that they were going for her bracelets from like a week later.  |

thats a corset not a corsage, a corsage is a flower lol. But i would def like to see someone put that jakks corset on her when she comes out and see if it does fit. Anything to distract from that horrific head scan  Hahaha Sorry man, the translation-program gave me this word for this sort of clothes. I´ll definitely try the Jakks CORSET  on my Mattel Rosa. |

The head looks like an absolute disaster in that pic, better MOC, but still not great. The hair is too flat, it should have some body to it. On the bright side, those boots are going to make for a great Taryn Terrell custom.  |

I'm really hoping her figure looks better in person.
She just looks huge!

I can imagine she will warm pegs like Alica Fox did. So I will pick her up when I see her, I think the figure looks good.
Alicia Fox was the farthest thing from a shelfwarmer. Alicia Fox was a huge shelfwarmer in the UK, especially for a short-packed figure. I remember being eager as hell to get that figure when it first came out, and then feeling stupid when it was everywhere still for months afterwards. Hell, I was calling round places looking for basic 29 earlier this week and some of 'em still had Alicia Fox figures hanging around... No Hunico, Kane, Triple H, Santino, Rey... Only Alicia from series 23. |

I love how usually the Diva figures usually have giant heads. And now Rosa has a shrunken head.

its so tall
the head is small
the head don't resemble her much
and she isn't in wrestling boots
just if they could make the head bigger id be much happy cause i think we all know that this more than likely will be her first and last figure i can live with the boots and height hope its better in person haha

That scan is ugly, but then again so is she, so I like it!
Also, Alicia Fox is on the shelves at my Toys r Us as well. I just saw her yesterday.

Might as well put this here: These are actually photos of first factory samples. We will be making changes to two of the figures: Kane will come with two elbow pads, not sure why earliest ones did not. Zack Ryder head sculpt will be changed to the most recent smiling head used on Elite figure. Unfortunately we will not be able to change the head on Rosa at this point. Internally we are about as unhappy with the head as all of you who have expressed your opinion so far. Changes were requested to address the narrowness of the head that unfortunately were not able to be completed in time for the figure's release. The pace of the line demands that at the very least 6 new Basic figures need to be released every month to meet expected demand. This year however, thanks to you and a whole lot of other WWE fans,the Basic figure line is flying off shelves at its best pace ever, even better than at the launch, which I find unbelievable. The drawback to this is that the schedule to deliver figures to market to meet the demand is shortened, giving us less time to fine tune adjustments like this. At this point we were left with two options. One was to remove her from the wave entirely, which was considered. However in light of the recent decision to remove Kaitlyn from her scheduled release date it would have set a very bad precedent on actually delivering diva figures to market when they are supposed to. Also, there was no open slot in the basic figure schedule for the rest of the year that we could slip her into, as there was when Kaitlyn had to be delayed. The other option was to release her as is, which is the option we chose to pursue. Since internally we feel that this figure is not up to our standards it will be released in a lower amount than originally scheduled,as we do not feel it truly represents the level of quality we have established for this line. Often times when we are not as happy with the end result on a figure we will prioritize a resculpted figure even if the character is not necessarily a major presence on WWE programming (the new Jinder Mahal in the two pack is an example of this). With that in mind we will be looking a opportunities of placing a Rosa figure again in our 2014 offerings (2013 is set in stone). So yes, the Rosa figure is not as compelling as it could be and now you know why. Thanks Bill |

I guess I'm the only one that actually likes it, and can't wait to get it.

I don't see anything wrong with it. The scan looks good and the boots are sweet. Keep in mind, Rosa has a great body, but not the prettiest face Butter Face! |

It makes it better that mattel acknowledged the issues with it, but yeah it is a disappointing scan. But it is definitely better than none at all.

Shame about the head but after all this time it is good Rosa gets a figure.
There's a toy shop in my small town that stocks a small selection of WWE figs, I found Alicia there a few months back, prior to that the only womens figure I ever saw in there was Mickie James a few years back.

The proportions do seem odd. She looks better in the MOC pic.  |

in hand, i bet it looks better.. just like that moc pic... keep in mind how many times a new figure has these factory pics and they look like crap. then someone buys it, posts pics and its a lot better...

I personally think it look alright. The volume of the hair is my issue, really. For the first time I noticed the lower torso and it appears to be new. I don't recognize the piece.
