I couldn't take pics(sorry), but I saw the new 12" figures at TRU this morning. They had John Cena in khaki jorts, ADR in gold, and Sin Cara in white and gold. The packaging looks just like the Hasbro titan series(figures are reminescant of wcw galoob) but have full range of motion hips and shoulders, they look super cheap though(the whites of ADR's eyes aren't painted, Sin Cara's bare arm is cast in white plastic with skin painted on the hand, I think everybody's the same size too), but for $15 a piece they're pretty cool. I hope they make more characters if they do well.
My guess is that these are part of that new 12" flexforce bunch we saw, except these figs didn't have any gimmicks besides being big and cheap.

Wow wtf? Why are there pics but this is the first report on it? People are so intimidated on here that they don't even share new leaked pics anymore.

Wow, Mattel must have really taken Cena's complaint about his eyes being the wrong colour to heart. His new Sub Zero look is good too though. :/

Put one of these heads on a regular figure and you get a custom bobblehead!

What awful choices! I can understand Cena, they put him in everything but Del Rio! He shelf warms almost as much as Mysterio!
If they make more guys I think these would be cool, i'd definately pick up a Punk/Taker/Bryan

These are, I'm sure, part of the new wave of giant, cheap, low articulated figures that are everywhere now. They seem to have become very popular and have included characters from Marvel Comics, Transformers, Star Wars and other popular franchises.

No elbows or knees? At least the DC rotocast figures had elbow and knee articulation. But if the are like the DCSH 13" figures (which the design looks like) the shoulders don't have full range but rather just up and down. I would get an Orton, Triple H and Punk if they were made, but that is it.
What was the cost? The DC ones were $25 or $30 if I remember correctly.

I'm pretty sure it was $14.99, I doubt the tag was for anything else, it was wedged in between buddies and 8x10s in the lower section. Just think of the crossovers, Hulk vs. Cena, ADR vs. Iron Man, Botchy vs. Spiderman, Kane vs. Darth Vader, Wolverine vs. CM Punk, The Rock vs. Roadblock, etc. The only downside is the Hasbros have worse articulation.

(The expensive store) so I guess not too bad. I see these are more display pieces than play pieces anyway so articulation isn't a huge deal. Cannot friggin wait for a Ryback.

That Alberto face run continues to haunt us. Mattel put him in a lot of assortments and now he's a heel and his figures are not selling well at all.
I am curious to see these out of the box though.

WOAH I have the American Badass Taker and HHH 12" figures Jakks made! I'll have to pick these up! Edit: Those will look good next to these. It's a shame there's no cloth accessories on the Mattels though. $15 is still reasonable for these.
