Very good set. They all look good...except Andre - He looks like ass - not the good kind.

I sort of skimmed through all 6 pages, but does anyone know if the fro is actually removable? or are we basing our opinions on the lopsided way the hair sits on his head?

When I saw Andre I said "What the F is that?"
Good god, man!

Will you guys be pre-ordering from RSC or just grabbing these at retail? I'm sort of new to collecting Mattel figures and I wasn't sure which way was the best to go. Any insight from you veterans?

This series is so stacked!! I'm definitely getting all of these figures. I would preorder them but my Target has been on point with putting out the new elites. I can't wait!!!!

If you live in a good area that regularly restocks just wait it out, if you live in the middle of no where pre order. |

Not too sure how quickly things get out here. Haven't seen Bray yet, but if he pops up on shelves soon maybe I'll be best suited waiting for retail too. Thanks for the tip! |

It doesn't seem like the best set imo.
That fro on Andre is just not right..
To be fair it wasn't right in real life so Mattel making it look good was quite the challenge.

Andre does look as if someone took a giant poo on his head. However, if the goal was to have dual Andre looks in one, I can live with it! I'm sure I will find use for the fro in my fed as a prop for an angle! Lol. Anyway, so glad Rowan comes with the chair. Can anyone confirm that Harper and Rowan have same heads scans as the basics? They are in fact the same. That red flanel vest will work perfectly on the RSC Cactus Jack. I thought it was molded to the wifebeater...

Elites are hit or miss here so I always order from RSC. Depends on the area you live. |

Wow, it pains me to say this because he's one of my all time favorites, but  that Andre figure. The Mattel apologists can make all the "BUT IT'S SO GOOD REMOVABLE AFRO~" posts they want, that figure is terrible. He never had the afro with yellow trunks, never had yellow trunks with black boots, never had the afro with the singlet. Super lazy figure on the part of Mattel. I'll pick up Harper if I see him at Walmart. |

For some reason I feel like I absolutely NEED to get that Andre. I think it's the wig. It's so bad it's awesome.

Im not even a CM Punk fan, but I would definitely pick that fig up if I see at at retail.
Sandow & Goldie look freaking awesome! Harper & Rowen are obviously great! Andre is a miss. Its really just a second chance for collectors that missed out on the matty collector fig.
I was really hoping for Andre with sideburns @zombieapocalypse
Anyone who has seen A-poc's thats what I wanted to see

Thanks man, I was hoping for one w sideburns, some expression in the face and a molded singlet.
Andres contract may be up this year but there's no reason why it won't be signed again. Andres been on contract for decades. They could have made the wm 1 or 2 Andre now and made a sick wm3 one later with the details I already mentioned.

nice to see official pictures finally....that being said Rowan's jumpsuit looks ridiculous. I'm sorry, it's the only time where I strongly feel CLOTH clothing was absolutely necessary. Besides that, the mask is great, and yay i get to have 2 rocking chairs now  Harper. Again Mattel puzzles me. They will make Rowan's suit have this weird looking chest articulation, but they give Harper a full rubber a-shirt so that you actually won't be able to bend his chest WTF it's awesome that he comes with the lantern though Sandow is fine. But tell me what the point of 2 briefcases is? If there is budget money set aside for each Elite series their accessory decisions are mind-boggling confusing. The "chocolate" case is awesome. Andre looks completely foolish. That is one of the biggest disappointments in a figure I've had since Mattel took over the line. "older" headscan, a "removeable Afro", the same plain black singlet and if the rumors are he's wearing yellow trunks underneath....yellow trunks & black boots? wow just a complete and total strike-out here. should have just mimicked the Jakks CS7 Andre (blue trunks/red boots) people would have still bought it...or just flat out re-release the Legends figure, at least we would have gotten a shiny winged eagle Punk is great. Still VERY disappointed in the plain black kickers, because once again it's a cop out. But the hoodie is awesome, and the new headscan is amazing. Goldust looks perfect. 2 flap shirts is completely pointless, again I don't get the accessory priorities anymore. Overall this is a GREAT set. But there are just some real head-scratching decisions I can't get past |

Sweet. I'm glad Mattel listened to my suggestion when Sandow first debuted his brown briefcase (at least I'm assuming so). I wonder if the SD case will have seaweed/watermarks on it. THIS IS AWESOME!!!! (except for andre) THANK YOU MATTEL!!! Love CM Punk.... finally a great headscan and the jacket!! The Wolverine Punk will be in our hands... BAF JR CM Punk has his Wolverine scan too. |
