I didn't see a thread like this in the first page so here we go. Since we're winding down the year, and most of us have seen what's hitting retail this year for the most part, which figure were the you most disappointed at?
I may be being a little picky, but mine would have to be E23 HHH. It could have been a great figure but it basically had painted legs. No pants or tights mold at all. Don't get me wrong, it was still one of the few I got in 2013 (I only got roughly 20-25 figs this year) but I was a little let down. Mattel is still doing a fantastic job and I'm really looking forward to some of their new figs in the coming year(s).
What were your disappointments, WWE figure wise, for 2013?

E21 was a solid set , but had the worst selected superstars.

I was a little disappointed with Cesaro figure. I think the face was not much like and the arms are very slim. But I think the #1 disappointing figure was Seth Rollins. I don't have this figure, but when I saw in the pictures, I feel it's not the wrestler...

I hope you're not talking about the elite cesaro bc it's not only one of the best figures of the year but it's one of the best figures mattel has made

I really didn't care for Elite 19's HBK headscan. A great figure beyond that, but the headscan being so off in my opinion, made it a non-purchase for me. I'll gladly wait for the Wrestlemania 30 Elite Series figure.
Beyond that, I'd say maybe Elite 24 Wade Barrett. I fully understand that not having full wrist tape is a "ticky tacky" thing to downgrade a figure for, especially one that comes with a belt and a shirt. But I personally collect figures that represent a moment in time for a figure, vs. just collecting to have one of everyone.
So I prefer more accuracy, and this is such a ridiculous detail that was clearly different from the moment Barrett re-debuted, and is featured in his other figures similar to this one.

I have the fig and I think it's great, but I can't believe they missed that detail. I'm currently working on swapping the forearm and hand so it should be perfect albeit with some customization.

alot of the new guys disappointed me because of part choices. Cesaros big ripped legs, dumb leg wraps, small arms and small torso. Rybacks small torso and ripped legs. Sandows muscular torso. Tensai's shorts.
They were my most anticipated figures and all had something great about them; Sandows robe, Tensais head and body, Cesaros perfect face, Rybacks paint apps on singlet........but were held back by part choices

Probably Rosa Mendes. I hated how mattel gave her a pin head and make her look kinda like a tranny.

E19 & E24 Ziggler figures. He's way too big in the thighs and arms. Same with E20 Cody. But the 2 Zigglers are worse. I picked up e19 and was totally disappointed. And E24 was worse because the scan as well. The figure is so bad I refuse to purchase it. This came out last year didn't it? I personally count any figure that was found in stores as part of this year. May have been avaliable online last Christmas, I don't remember. RSC had it for Christmas release, but it was the first mass retail Elite of 2013.

If we're like choosing from what came to retail this year I would say curt Hawkins was kinda a let down. But this year I would say eithe e24 wade Barrett or e24 dolph ziggler
