Also, my mistake if I missed it, but where is a new Jack Swagger?

Elite 23 Triple H. It truly disappointed me that Mattel chose that god awful attire from WM15 rather than his hHh tights from the following year. How was WM 15 even a significant 'Mania? For that matter, how was WM8 a significant one? I think Mattel flubbed up with this series. They should've just told us that the figures would be in attires from a Wrestlemania of each era; all that crap about them being significant 'Manias and whatever just got my hopes up way too much. That being said, however, E23 is all solid FIGURES for sure. Just wish they'd picked better attires for Trips and Macho Man. "How was WrestleMania 8 a significant one?" Macho Man won the WWF World Championship, for starters.... but I digress.... /quote] It is a significant Wrestlemania for Macho Man's career, but not a significant 'Mania amongst the 29 we have gotten. WM 3 fits that bill much better. But I suppose MDT meant a significant WM for the wrestlers they chose, but then again, what was the significance of WM15 for Triple H where he lost the match to Kane? JBL who lost to Cena?

JBL is absolutely perfect! So happy he came with a serious headscan instead of a smiler!!
HHHs Attire is sickk! His hair color is my ONLY dissapointment with SDCC.. that mustard yellow just dosent cut it!

Most of the things I was disappointed with have already been mentioned, but here goes anyway:
Hate the awful rubber coat on E23 Taker (other than that I think it looks great). E23 Triple H, that figure is a train wreck. Not a fan of the Kaitlyn figure, don't think it really looks like her. The leg wraps on E23 Cesaro look horrible. Flashback Lesnar being a RSC exclusive rather than being in the main line, don't get that one at all. Ricardo Rodriguez being in the Basic line, I would have never bought the BAF set if I had known this was coming.

I think they did great. Sure something's are better then others. I wish they had announced more Bret Hart and Ultimate Warriors. That would have made SDCC perfect for me.

I agree with you about WM15 not being a significant Wrestlemania for Triple H. I mean so he beat Kane then turned on X-Pac nothing too significant there. But for Macho Man, yeah Wrestlemania 8 wasn't the best. WWE should of stuck to Hogan Flair, would of been great, but as for it being a significant Wrestlemania for Macho Man. Come on he won his second WWF Title and beat one of the greatest in Ric Flair that has significant all over it!

The few things that were a disappointment is Shield Elite the vest are molded. I was hoping they give the vest similar to the Randy Orton Troops vest but a little more detail. I know people been loving it, but not the biggest fan of the new CM Punk head scan. And sort of a dark horse one for me is that Wade Barrett elite does have some type of removable arm length elbow pad. I thought it would be cool for it to have a painted on red elbow pad then the sleeve removable pad sort of like how he sets up for the bull hammer.

My main disappointments were the TRU WM29 Basic BAF Series (really ordinary/same-old figures and Booker T as the BAF... where's Paul Bearer? Where's Bobby The Brain Heenan??) and the E23 Macho Man (...horrible attire choice and weird scan).

I was disappointed with getting the exact same attires for sheamus, ryback, and Cesaro in elite form and basic. Kinda lazy

#1 disappointment- No flashback HBK! Major disappointment! #2 disappointment- The choice of attire for the E 23 HHH. When I think of old HHH I think of him in his hHh trunks.

Kinda lazy that was kind of a shocker....cuz normally Mattel avoids doing the same attires on basic/elites, unless they have to. even the elite 24 Wade Barrett is the same as the basic 31. Thats just silly. Why not go w/ the blue trunks for the elite? I assume its the same reason they always give us red/black attires....it was cheaper to use red trunks. Another minor bummer......though I really like the e24 Rey & e25 Sin Cara, it looks like they're going to skip over the half rey/half cara attires that they wore.

Complaining about small details like duct-taped towels and cheekbones are what makes this forum so great.

Alot of you are asking why they did Macho Man from Mania 8. I think its because they are going to do Ric Flair from Mania 8 too next year. Thats my theory anyway. It makes perfect sense when you consider that they did Warrior/Savage from mania 7 in the Defining Moments line.

keep in mind all the figures look prettty good so most of this is nit picking and its all on the elites .. i dont collect any other sets unless its the BAF basic's (BOOkER T in Suit)
-i agree with Zigglers bland pink tights not being metallic ryback - looks like a repaint.. still a very detailed singlet but there were deff. more options to go with. Macho Man- love the outfit but the shirts bothers me.. not a fan of the hard rubber clothing ( like takers jacket) Triple H- though still a cool choice in tights, gong by what everyones said about it its no a WM outfit ( i'd like the sivler long tights or his purple trunks from WM 19 E24 Rey - dafuq is that? never seen that before.. flashback is needed for rey... long over due exclusive Brock- younger face head scan would make it better, but not a big issue Mail away Mankind- the curse of the hard rubber shirt dom dom dom... still going for it tho. (shouldve made it a mail away dude love and made mankind a FB exclusive too atleast) Cesaro E23- chest mold is not jacket enough.. he's legit one of the stronger Wrestlers and the figure looks like a puss. JBL FB- stone face BRuno SAmartino - chest need to be bigger too, he was HUGE muscular wise. and his accessories shouldve been the title he held not a podeum which doeswnt go with that era figure Elite Sin cara - tho. a cool outfit (( green zebra attrie) i feel for an elite eh wouldve preferred the pink one to be elite elite Ambrose and Rollins- looks like an even harder rubber shirt. Elite Road Dogg- is it me or does looks the body look weird ? .. Billy Gunn looks solid for a prototype, as well as rikishi BAF HeyMan.. love the punk, Cena ... AGAIN!?!? espeacilly when the same outfit is in a normal elite set releasing about the same time (stupid) the new title saves that figure Lesnar .. ugh same lesnar we got except it says lsenar on his glove ( joy ) couldve put FaN Dan Go, roman rayne (since both ambrose and rollins will be release in elite together), an updated Swagger, BIg E's Elite debut or Teenage Mutant Ninja Ryback the 4th guy.. if how they displayed it gives anything away i saw the D. Bryan with beard and 2 shiny tag belts.. its a pass if it was kane it'd be a fail
Questions/concerns: Whens a new FB HBK up, Why is there no FB Rey, Razor/ Scott hall, xpac/syxx, Crush, y2j, Eddie, Bret and RIC F***ing Flair?? like the list goes on and we got a sub par JBL how come Fandango, Curtis Axel, Roman Raynes, 3MB, Prime Time Players & Usos dont have elites yet?

Not counting releases I would have liked to have been announced, my only gripes are the DX HH and HBK (do we really need more?) and the Punk open mouth sculpt that looks more like Wanderlei Silva.
I would have preferred a Macho Man with the glittery robe from WM4 over the aztec look but no biggie.

I am a little let down that the only future FB we saw were NAO and Rikishi. Its painfully obvious that Mattel doesnt give a about 80s collectors. Agreed

Still no CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Kane, Ryback, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler,The Miz, Big Show, or Undertaker Brawlin Buddies! No matter if the line is directed towards kids or collectors putting wrestlers in the line who barely get TV time is just asking for the line to fail. My sister-in law is not going to pay $30 plus tax for a Zack Ryder or Brodus because my nephew has no clue who they are but he would love any of the ones listed above.
