How do people feel about the Wyatt Bryan? Such a weird design choice. I'm ok with it since it will be different than the boppv, also marks a memorable moment. Makes me wish they'd done a cloth jumpsuit for Rowan, but whatever. Damn. Maybe buy both and head swap/attire swap with a KoZlov elite.

Sting- The figure looks great but I would be lying if I didnt say I was VERY disappointed that this wasnt Surfer Sting. I dont understand how you cant go for A) His most iconic look and/or B)An attire that, ahem, has colors that "POPS". Ill hold out hope that Surfer Sting will still be shown but man thats a huge let down knowing the first Mattel Sting I buy wont be from the era where he was the top dog of his company. What? Starrcade 97 IS Sting's most iconic look. It was the hottest angle of the MNWs when WCW was kicking WWF's ass, and the highest grossing PPV in WCW history. Sting was the biggest babyface in all of pro wrestling in 1997. I know you're an NWA and early WCW guy, and you like that period way more, but you can't really be ignoring Sting's popularity boom for an entire year during 1997, at the height of WCWs most successful stretch in the company's history.

Maybe Mavia is another exclusive like the brown debut Mankind?

I probably speak for a lot of people when I say that would have been very disappointing. I as a 23 year old male have no knowledge of Surfer Sting. Apart from his Robot Cop stint. The crow has stood the test of time.

Yeah the "iconic" thing seems to be subjective on here. Surfer Sting - the Classic Sting look Crow Sting - the most well-known Sting look Mattel was absolutely correct in choosing late 90's Sting because that is the Sting MOST fans will recognize. Personally I too would rather have Surfer Sting. But that's not an objective opinion on what's best for business.

What summerslam was sting at? maybe he'll pop up at this year's summerslam. Just an idea that would legitimize putting him in that PPV series.

Wow Sting, Razor, Hogan & Doink look incredible.
A bit disappointed in the attire choice for X-Pac. He should have had the big white/green oval part on there. Still looks good though and I'll pick one up to join the rest of DX.
While I'm glad we were are getting a WCW Rey I am also a bit let down on his attire. Rey wore so many colorful attires back in WCW and of course Mattel goes with the old red and black. It's like sometimes they forget other colors exist.
Still sad there is no sign of Lita. Maybe I should just give up on ever getting one. I've been wanting her since Mattel started and they are probably sick of me always asking for one.

Crow Sting was the best choice, not my preferred, but the best at this time. It ties in with the 2k15 commercial and WWE's first Sting T-shirt. Right now WWE is introducing Sting to the WWE fans who may not know him, as Crow Sting, it just makes sense. Plus if he has a match at Mania this year, it will most likely be in Crow Sting-ish attire.

That's the only figure I haven't seen that's been mentioned. Thanks.

I think the ppv name above is when the DM is coming out. I don't think that's right at all. I think that figure is accustomed to one of the big 4 PPVs Hogan- Rumble (sounds right) Rocky Maivia- Survivor Series (yup) Razor Ramon- WrestleMania (close enough) Sting- SummerSlam- (it's a long shot but do you want Sting sooner or after this set?)

I am really disappointed they used that AWFUL scan for Cody AGAIN the newer B35 one with the mustache was one of the best likenesses they've ever done. Obviously re-tooled without the 'stache would be even better. That scan looks nothing like Cody anymore, it's dated, and ugly. Horrible choice the attire is fine and the accessories are fine though. i know he wore that attire a bunch. But i really wanted the green. The trunks are way too similar to Elite 13. u could argue that maybe 2 years ago....Codys arms got bigger. But his legs have never been tree trunks....yet these have been on the last 2 elites of his. I haven't really checked., but im suspicious of his lil hoodie. Did he wear a black one? I just recall the dark green one
