Not been on here all weekend guys so just catching up. Was the 7th figure in the Fans Favourites TRU box revealed? Are there any other pictures of new figures other than the ones on the links on pg.1? Is it confirmed Paige will be a Elite? Is she coming with her leather jacket does anyone know? Amazing how many people on here told me an Elite Paige would NEVER happen..... The 7th figure is Triple H. MDT confirmed that Paige will get an Elite and I think it comes with the Divas Championship. Don't know if she will come with the jacket too...

Am I really the only one perplexed by the oversized Slam City figures? I think those are the actual models/figures used in the making of the episodes.

I'm thrilled that the DM line is back. Mattel versions of Flair, Hogan, Sting and Razor are all must haves for me. $25 is more than fair. I just wish they were coming sooner, and more often, and were 2 per wave again.

Getting flair, hogan, razor and sting, once every 3 months is phenomenal. My top 4 wants before they were announced! What 4 DM's could come after these?

There's always going to be folks who piss and moan about anything they can. Clamor for Hogan, Razor, and a possible Sting and you give us all three and the bitching still flows like the Mississippi River. Me, personally, I'm excited. I'll be buying all the DM figures and I'll get two Stings. The way I see it, if a few extra bucks is that huge of a deal to some, then you probably shouldn't be spending your precious dollars on toys. Thanks MDT for a glorious SDCC and great figures! Oh, by the way, when will you make me a WrestleMania 14 Undertaker? I'm glad we got sting, razor, hogan, it's just I feel that that hogan was just like a typical flashback figure. The dm line to me is just for us to pay more for the big names, that might not mean so much to others but for some people where the economy is tight it's a lot harder. I just wish that I could get somebody like hogan without paying extra for it because it's a dm Very valid point!

I just wish they were coming sooner, and more often, and were 2 per wave again. That'd be sweet if it was; Hulk/Andre w/ WM 3 ring cart, Razor/Shawn, Flair/Sting. I guess it's better that the window to get them is a lot wider this time though, I remember when series 2 came out, I couldn't find The Rock anywhere after the one time I saw him at retail, I ended up having to pay some reseller $35 for him months later.

The Title alone makes this DM worthy! Bret Hart and John Cena are the only DM's that came with titles. Hogan comes with a belt I thought I would never see. Plus it's HOGAN!!!

I can't believe some people moaning about the price of the Defining Moments line... it just comes across as being incredibly cheap. You honestly begrudge paying an extra $6-$7 every 3 months for a highly detailed, much-requested/sought-after figure (in awesome packaging too)? SMH...

Plus, there's no doubt Hogan will have a regular Elite afterwards... probably a few.

Getting flair, hogan, razor and sting, once every 3 months is phenomenal. My top 4 wants before they were announced! What 4 DM's could come after these? Hollywood Hogan, for sure. Bill said that the line is very dependent on talent, though... They're only releasing premium names that aren't already all over the basic and elite lines. So I'm not sure who that really leaves. There are lots of options for Undertaker, Michaels, Edge, Jericho, Macho... But those guys have all had tons of figures and weren't necessarily all great sellers, so I'm not sure they're on the DM to-do list. Hollywood Hogan and Hulk Still Rules Hogan are the only ones I think are good bets. Am I really the only one perplexed by the oversized Slam City figures? They have convention display pieces most years... Giant Rumblers, Legends Buddies, Beth Phoenix Barbie, Orton vs Punk statue etc.

Psycho Sid.

...the obvious one (apart from NWO Hulk) is Goldberg - I'm not sure what they could include as accessories though, apart from the WHC belt. A DM Owen Hart (with jacket, shades, Slammy, IC belt) would be a natural - but Mattel can't make him.

How about goldust 96 with IC title, Helmsley king of the ring, corporate champ rock. King Mabel? Stunning Steve. Psycho Sid. No chance for most of those. Goldust and Mabel are nowhere near the star level for a DM figure, Goldust is the kind of name that would have had one in the old DM line and ended up selling for a few bucks at clearance stores. Mabel is barely Elite Flashback level, let alone DM. Sid wore plain black most of the time. Stunning Steve is Austin's least recognisable period and Mattel seems unkeen on touching any of his pre-Stone Cold career. There's probably an outside chance of Hunter (although his previous DM was a terrible figure and sold horribly) and Rock getting one.

If the release rate of DM figures is indeed four per year, I will be more than happy to buy a new Hogan once a year. Same goes for Macho Man, Warrior and Flair. Throw in some Sting, Nash, Hall, Hart, maybe a Yokozuna or Undertaker here and there and I will gladly preorder this line for the next three years without even asking who's in it. Just by focusing on the 10 or so classic top guys this line is guaratied to last for several years, as long as they don't increase the pace.
The problem is, once they start putting the same guys in Flashbacks, Basics and Battlepacks they will run out of demand within a shorr time. At least this way we are going to get every relevant version faster. Patience is the key here imo

I think that the return of the DM figures is amazing. We all have been wanting them to return since it was cancelled. I seriously can't believe people are complaining about the price. Around where I live elites range from 19.99 - 23.99, so 24.99 for a DM figure with great accessories is a great price point.

My bet is on that Rocky hitting one of the outlets as an exclusive before years end to hold us over til hogan hits.
My guess is September for Debut Rocky

25 it's not cool, why are faced defending the gouging?
Everything in life can be broken down to "only pain such an such extra." That's why hunt for cheapest gas,cause it all adds up.
Naturally Mattel is raising the price by a third which is crazy.
