The undertaker has blue hands and feet. I'm assuming its a lighting issue because that would be unbearably boneheaded. Then again, I think I saw another red white and blue punk in there too soooo idk

The Daniel Bryan with a bit longer hair and beard...something just looks weird about it to me. It looks like they sculpted new hair/beard onto the BO12/e19 scan.

The only thing that will be a major disappointment to me is if we're still not actually getting those MUSCLE figures. I want them so much! Aside from that I liked everything. Sure, some of it wasn't perfect, but none of it was bad enough to bother me. and as far as Cesaro's wraps go, that makes me happy. It means I can display him without them or possible do a Claudio Castignoli repaint without much problem

I really wasn't disappointed by anything. I'm more disappointed that someone complained that we are getting a Rikishi figure and not a Jericho, Rey, or HBK! Really?
But off the top of my head for the sake of participating:
Kaitlyn isn't great Wish we would have seen an improved flashback Mr Perfect

I'm disappointed Barrett didn't have his sleeve.

Here's my main gripe:
Triple H. He doesn't even look bad - looks okay in the box, but I do not like how this turned out. He's totally shredded under the shirt (it's too big for now, let alone '98!), his shiny silver attire caught measles, and speaking of which, that attire is more associated with his corporation days than DX. He turned on DX in that attire - hardly the gear you'd display the definitive DX Triple H in. It looks like we're getting DX in 2014, too - so I'm going to have to wait and hope they make the DX Triple H most collectors wanted (purple metallic tights OR green/black triangle tights to match DX) in the near future. This set would've been perfect for WM2000 HHH w/ attitude title and his definitive hHh short trunks instead.

I was not very pleased with Triple H, I feel as though it should have been a wrestlemania 17 attired Triple H or even a HinterHurst Helmsley

I think they could have executed Macho better.
Don't care for Cesaro's leg things.
Attire choice for E23 HHH. Just wish it was Mania 2000. I do hope they eventually make it.
And not a fan of Punk's new scan.
So out of all the figures I have 4 minor complaints. Mattel did a phenomenal job.

Biggest disappointment: E23 Triple H. This went from one of my most anticipated figures to one I gotta pass on. The DX army stuff is cool on its own but looks silly with Hunter's attire. The attire itself looks nothing like his black and silver gear from WM15. To top it all off, the figure has the same upper body as modern-day figures which looks ridiculous! JBL - Having the lean Terry Funk upper build and a dead expression takes away from his Mattel debut I feel. JBL wasn't a muscular guy, but he had a big, cornfed build which his figure doesn't necessarily reflect. Elite D-Bryan being skinny is a problem, but I kinda wish his new head was as animated and lively as the yelling one. Cash-in Ziggler without metallic pink on the shorts is a bummer. The attire literally loses its luster.[/quote] Right there, they should have gone with...

My biggest disappointment was Kaitlyn's hair. I absolutely hate how they left a random part at the end of her hair. I think they should've done no bangs at all or at least more to the side. Other than that i loved the figure and everything else Mattel showed us. I liked the Funkadactyls, but i don't like that they don't really match to one of the Brodus figures or that they have giant boots on. I would rather have them in ring gear.

Elite 23 Undertaker was a major disappointment. The rubber coat is a huge fail. The torso is another major fail, because as with 99% of Elite torsos, it makes Undertaker look like a skinny anorexic. The Undertaker was 328 pounds at the time....the torso is AWFUL. I actually might take the Entrance Greats shirt and put it on the Elite 23 Undertaker just to make it not look so RIDICULOUSLY skinny. I'll agree with these. the rubber coat is a failure in that,during his purple and black days,he ALWAYS came to the ring with the coat buttoned. that's impossible now. my other concern is the colors. he had PURPLE gloves,boot cover,and hat rim at Mania 12. yet the figure has them looking blue.though i'm hoping this was just a trick of the flash,cause the panel pic has them looking purple...

I also was pleased to be right about Savage too.

There is a lot to like out of all the new figures, but the elite dolph is just a mess and a complete let-down.
-I don't like the headscan. Mouth seems a little too big. -Like Mr. #1derful said, the attire doesn't have any luster. It looks gross. -I get that they're trying to re-use the 'ass cape' but I don't think he wore the blue one like that very often.

- e23 Antonio Cesaro---- They should've made a new torso. His body type is very unique. The legs are too big and ripped. He has chicken legs in real life. Don't like those bulky leg wraps. Its cool that they're removeable, but he's never removed them. And that is something that should be painted as they are supposed to be skin tight.
- e24 Ryback----Still hate the skinny torso. Needs beanie and red elbow pads. We don't need that shirt again. Where is a screaming/angry headscan?
- e24 Dolph Ziggler---Head looks large and Jakks-ish. Arms/Legs still out of scale like e19. I wish the shorts weren't so long and the pink should be glittery/metallic pink
- e24 Wade Barrett----Shouldn't have orange eyebrows. I hate rubber shirts and its missing the white taped wrists/fists. Or a black arm sleeve
- e23 HHH---- Torso is too large. The color on the tights is way off. It looks blue instead of silver/gun metal. Rubber shirt. Face too similar to older Mattel HHH's.
- e23 Undertaker--- Torso is skinny. Rubber coat. Cloth tie and the shoulders look weird. Probably because Takers shirt should cover some of the shoulder.
- e23 JBL----- Wrong torso choice. Way too skinny. JBL was like 300 lbs. Everyone else that used that torso was around 245 lbs.
- e23 Macho Man----- Chubby cheeks. Eyes not crazy. Missing a bunch of tassels. Alot of inaccuracies because of rubber shirt. No entrance gear. Not WM 3
- e25 Dean & Seth Rollins------Hair is the same as their basics
- TRU Mankind--- don't recall him having tassles on bottom of shirt. Another Foley figure w/ skinny legs
- e25 Bruno Sammartino----- those small hands they use for the Zeke/Brock arms look so tiny and creepy.
- Zeb Colter----- Head looks thin...and face looks young
- Billy Gunn------ needs taller boots or smaller calves. And needs knee pads w/ the open back.
- Big E Langston (elite/basic)----- Singlet is wrong. The singlet top should drop down below his pecs.
- Fandango-----way too ripped
- WM 29 Daniel Bryan------face is boring. Needs wider torso. Should have his jacket
- WM 29 CM Punk-------Face doesn't look like him. Wrong kneepads. Urn wrong color
- b32 Ryback----- Innacurate for the Royal Rumble. He wore black kneepads and red elbow pads at that PPV
- b33 CM Punk-----That attire doesn't exist
- RSC Brock-----Should've had new head. I hate rubber shirts..and not sure he wore that shirt in that style.
- b33 Khali-----Same figure as Best of 2012
- e25 Sin Cara----- Not the right color green
- e25 Sheamus-----Boring attire choice. Hair color
- e25 Brodus Clay-------Boring attire choice. Looks like wrong logo and logo in wrong place. Have to see better pics

I REALLY Don't Like The Head On The Elite 23 Macho. He Looks Homeless, Not Mid Match Most Likely If I Find Him I Will Be Doing A Head Swap.

He has wrestled without them on occasion, but yeah, they should've just painted them. [/li][/quote] The eyebrows are accurate. Barrett's a secret ginger. I'm sure the wrist tape thing will be fixed by the time it comes out. Massive oversight if not. [/li][/quote] Yup, they really bug me.

no orange eyebrows in these pics. U could say he dyes nowadays....but nothing about the person in that mugshot...says "dyed hair and eyebrows". He just looks like some guy that beat up a bunch of hobbits

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.... I'm very upset with Mattel - because I'm going to be spending a lot of money on these great products they're bringing out over the next year. Even the "insignificant" Macho Man from WM8 is growing on me - I just took a second look at it, and I really, really, like it... Put me against the wall - here are my gripes: -No Elite Triple H with his current (short-hair) look? How am I supposed to build my WM29 display? I guess I'll have to use a Basic.... -They gave E23 Triple H accessories that don't really go with the outfit - but no Hat/Coat for E23 Macho Man.... poor use of budget, I think... -No Yellow Shirted John Cena? How am I supposed to build my WM29 display? I guess I'll have a shirtless Cena.... I'm sure they'll release one eventually.... -General lack of new Flashbacks/Legends - or maybe just not the ones I want.... no Flair, Heenan, Goldberg, Jim Ross... but we're getting Rikishi, Road Dogg, and Billy Gunn.... I like DX too, but I wasn't really a fan of the New Age Outlaws and doubt I'll buy them for my collection... Sammartino looks outstanding though - I'm now torn, because I would have kept it MOC - but I want that podium so I can do a HOF display. Darn you, Mattel... -I've got to agree... while I wasn't completely sold on a "Purple-Glove" Undertaker like many people on here - I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt - but upon viewing the figure, he looks skinny and his hat looks too big, and the tie just looks odd..... just proportioned very strangely all the way around... but hell, I'll probably buy it when I see it at retail (these things tend to look much better in real life). But please don't take this the wrong way - I'm very excited for many, many of the wonderful products Mattel displayed at Comic Con.... the post just asked for disappointments. And I'm glad you all are finally getting your "Flashback Brock" so the rest of us (who don't care) can stop hearing about it!
