So I finally managed to get my hands on Elite 23, 24, and a couple of the Wrestlemania 29 figures.
All images below are thumbnails so click them for a bigger view.
A couple of things from Elite 23
-John Cena's headscan is bad, it reminds me of a nerdy kid, probably with a pinwheel on his hat, that you'd see in a cartoon.
-JBL seems like a last minute addition to the set. His headscan is rather boring with no emotion at all. His torso is inaccurate. Even at his best, his physique wasn't that good. The towel would have been much better if it were rubber, it worked with Alberto's scarves so I don't see why it wouldn't with JBL's towel.
-Cesaro is a hell of a figure but the rubber wraps on his thighs should have been painted instead.
-Undertaker's jacket was a tad harder to get off but its manageable. For those that can't get it off and had to cut it to do so, I laugh at you. Also, the purple gloves and boots are more of a blue. If they had been the same purple used on his tie then this would be the best figure in this set.
-Rey is easily the standout of this set.
-Miz comes in at second. Grey is a colour we don't really see much of so I like that Mattel chose it. The jacket is much better than his previous figures too, plus it feels a lot softer.
-I can see what they were going for with Dolph's headscan but the execution was pretty poor. It resembles more of a bootleg type of figure.
Overall, both sets are great and worth picking up. Macho Man and Rey are the highlights of their respective sets.
-Brock is just the same as E19 but the steps are a nice addition, especially since they're only available with the now cancelled Elite Scale Ring.
-The CM Punk figure that divided some people. I love the headscan, some don't though. Those that say it looks nothing like him are exaggerating or are basing it on a picture rather than the figure in hand.
Action shot featuring both Elite sets, I didn't really know how to fit in Brock and Punk.
And the collection so thus far.
