When they first made the announcement that Mattel got the new rights to the WWE figure line I honestly thought my collecting days were done. Then after seeing what Mattel had done especially with the scale, I became a Mattel guy. So much so that I unloaded all my MOC Jakks and only kept my loose ones. I have been up in the air about getting rid of those also. I just hate that everybody has the same exact body and arms. It kind of drives me nuts. Jakks did such a great job on a lot of the heads that if they would have put some work into scaling their figures they would probably go untouched. Sorry im just rambling

I love that they added the thin strands of hair on top of Heyman's head rather than just one big bald spot. Nice touch!
Still not sure how I feel about that Bryan scan, but it's obviously the best we're gonna get for now. How do the Bryan and Punk scans look in person?

Sorry im just rambling Im not too hung up on things like scale, Im not one of those collectors lol. I am a Jakks guy, they put out a lot of cool figs and thanks to customizing I have a lot of figures that otherwise would not exist in my collection, plus I like the articulation and playability of DA figs which is the whole of my collection. just based on my customs, I cant start over with Mattel, I put too much work and money into them

Oh no. These hit the east coast. Now I have to look for them. Ugh. Everyone checks my TRU all the time. I'm going to have to wake up early. Ugh...

Very cool. Have to check my TRU's soon then here in CT. See if they have started to pop up yet. Only interested in the Daniel Bryan though. For the new DB and to finally get shiny tag team belts (gonna put them on the Elite Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns when they come out). I would like the Paul Heyman, but it would be cheaper for me to just get Bryan and wait for the Brock/Heyman two-pack coming soon, then buying three figures I don't want.

Sorry. Its like a tease isnt it? I bought the set for my son also and since Bryan is one per case he is missing him also. I dont understand why they wouldnt just put two of each guy in the case. But to have three Punks and only one Bryan is kind of pointless. Well I hope you find him soon. He is an awesome figure

But to have three Punks and only one Bryan is kind of pointless. It's because Punk is usually a pretty hot seller, and the Elite 19 Daniel Bryan was one of the worst selling elites they've ever done. I feel lucky that they even included him in this set when (at the time it was planned) there would've been a number of safer bets, sales-wise. Gonna hate having to track him down though.

Yeah he is going to be very tough to track down. I want to get him for my son. Im still going to hunt for them. Hopefully they start hitting Toys R Us on a regular basis soon.

As much as I hate Cena figures, & would prefer a classic Lesnar, I seriously want Paul Heyman's figure.
The Punk & Bryan from this series are fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

Still not sure how I feel about that Bryan scan, but it's obviously the best we're gonna get for now. How do the Bryan and Punk scans look in person? I happen to really like the Daniel Bryan figure. Its the best one that they have made all around so far. In my opinion. The Punk scan im really not too crazy about. They were trying for a five o clock shadow look I believe but it didn't really work. I love the attire though. I may do a head swap eventually. All in all a good set. Much better in my opinion than the BAF Booker T set. Im sure I will still get that set, but I have no use for the figures other than Booker. Heyman looks fantastic. I think Mattel nailed it with him.
