First, I love Mattel's product. Secondly, I'm happy with WWE's direction as of late. My only gripe is how far off these figure are from seeing retail. Remember how hot the Nexus were about 2-3 years ago? It took a year for those puppies to hit retail, and the characters were far beyond obsolete at that point. I think Mattel does an excellent job with the figures (better than any other company has), however, they MUST figure out how to get relevant characters' figures on shelves in a more timely manner. Prediction: The Shield WILL look awesome, but they'll be irrelevant by the time S.25 hits. Edit: Maybe we'll be spared from seeing more Shield customs flooding Ebay. Edit Edit: Is this the Ambrose proto? No chance in hell that is the proto. Look at the neck. The awful taped hands. Nu uhh. Not it.

I like the line-up. Real excited to get 2/3 Shield members. I wonder what attire Sin Cara will be in. They could go either the Green Zebra striped one, or the Pink/Gold one. Sheamus and Brodus are cool. Same thing, I wonder what attire they are going to in. Sheamus will probably be the black,white,silver one, and hopefully Brodus will be in the black/bably blue one. Sammartino is before my time, but it'll be cool to get. Maybe this way, they will release more old school wrestlers like that Magnum TA everyone has been wanting.

Whoah... did I miss the announcement of Elite 24's lineup? Is E24 the Wrestlemania 29 set? That's what I'm waiting for... I'll probably get The Hounds of Justice & Sin Cara for my kid - Bruno for me. And I guess this means no Ric Flair is 2013? Shame on you, Mattel.... you could have emptied my wallet. Rey Mysterio Ryback Wade Barrett Dolph Ziggler The Miz Trish Stratus Oh, that's why I forgot this lineup - I won't be buying anything from it.

I'm definitely looking forward to elite Shield figures. I wonder if the swat vests will be done as molded bodies or plastic accessories (like Orton's Tribute to the Troops figure)?
Would be extra sweet if Bruno comes with an old school WWWF belt but I'll get it even if it has no accessories.

I wonder if the Basic Ambrose will have a different headscan than the Elite one. I say that because the E19 Lesnar and the B25 Lesnar were released around the same time, and they had different headscans.

Happy about Ambrose & Rollins. And this series will give my wallet a little recovery time cos those are the only two I'll be getting.

They could have made this set Bruno and five Ortons and it would still be one of the best.

I can't think of anything to come with the Shield so something tells me we're getting entire new molds with them. Brodus is a pass for me as I have E18 and his character has gone nowhere since then. Cara is a maybe depending on what attire he comes in, im personally hoping for pink or a two toned attire like when he was teaming with Rey. Sheamus is someone I haven't gotten an Elite of since his first because it's not really necessary. However if this is one of his more recent attires i'll consider it as I'm trying to update my figs. And as for Bruno give me any god damn attire you please just give me a good head, the lesnar torso and some trunks he actually wore and im good. I just want the damn figure.

Didn't they just sign Bruno a few months ago? If so wouldn't that be a little early for his figure? Anyway if it is legit Bruno is the only one I would buy.
