I don't see how Mattel could get Rock in the trunks he wore just 3 months ago.....unless they knew before-hand. Or maybe they just guessed? They guessed on his elite 14 attire Elite 14 had the trunks Rock used in 2003-04. He hasn't worn them in his 2011-current run. It's possible that the trunks on Elite 22 were just reused from Legends 3 without intending to be accurate, but that figure is accurate as per the night after Elimination Chamber.

Mattel won't do Hart tribute Punk because he didn't wear it enough yet we get Bat Mysterio and Vince McMahon who don't wear their figure attire often. lol. Sometimes Mattel says weird things. Like when those first basic Punks started showing up without the knuckle tattoo and Mattel said the legal department advised not to include "DRUG FREE" on his figures anymore... But it still shows up on all the elites.

Looks pretty good overall, I'll probably buy all 3. The only negative for me is red Sin Cara, but I'm sure Mattel will make some subtle changes from the ones already released.

Sin Cara with the extra mask on brings me back to the good ole' Jakks days.

that Rey/Kofi is a bad ass set, and I really like Punk/Vince, Sin Cara is the only useless person in this wave

We need a Vince like that in Elite, hopefully this won't disqualify a '99-ish Vince from being made in the Elite line any time soon

Is the Vince more voomed in than the Punk in the pictures?
If he isn't the scales terrible.
I mean if punks about 6" vince figure wise is 6'5.
He's supposed to be 6'2 in person although I bet that's very generous.

Like SO many others have said, I just wanted Punk/Vince...and wound up preodering the entire set as soon as I saw the pictures. Excellent job, Mattel!

Mattel won't say it, but I would guess they only reason they're doing Mysterio in his Batman attire is because it's all black and simple to do. They don't have to use different color schemes or whatever. But you're right, as far as the excuse they gave out, it makes zero sense.

Glad I ordered Punk/Vince awhile back. It's a great set. I love the Cody/Cara as well, but I'm a bit disappointed with the Kofi. I was hoping he'd be in his old school Batman outfit from the Rumble. Would have been a perfect set imo. Mattel blew a golden opportunity to have a Batman Rey and a Batman Kofi in the same set.

Picked up the Vince/Punk pack. I still prefer the short haired scan on the elite Punk from last year, but for Vince in ring attire and two kendo sticks, it's not a bad deal at all! lol

All these protos make me sad that the stores around me have been so abysmal this entire year so far. At least there is some good stuff on the way. I'm sure it's going to show up at retail someday, right? Right?

Glad people like these. If Kofi would have worn the Batman outfit earlier we might have been able to use it on the figure but it appeared to late to change. Rey personally loaned us the 'Batman' outfit and the outfit used in Elite 21 to make sure we got them exactly right so a HUGE thanks to him for making sure the figure looks as good as it does. We were a little anxious coming back so soon with Rey and Sin Cara immediately after using them in the previous Battle Packs wave, but the chance to recreate the SummerSlam 2012 outfit, and to capitalize on the Sin Cara - Cody 'unmasking' feud was too good to pass up.

That Punk/Vince pack has to be the only figures that I can just stare at and watch it get better and better!
