Good lord can Mattel ever get an Edge sculpt right? The Rumbler's sculpt is the best Edge head they've done.

Hopefully the exclusives will get better in 2015 now that we have a wider selection of top talent. Nothing against Edge, but if the scan is that bad and the attire is that forgettable, I'd rather see someone else get the slot. Maybe we'll get a camo Edge in DM or something.

Only negatives for me are the hair, and no color on the belt side plates

The exclusive Mankind's packaging was fine for me. I'd rather prefer a simple, small package over a decked out package with nonsense. I understand Ringside wants their packaging to stand out, but Mattel doesn't need to make it where it takes away from the figure. There's honestly no reason why this exclusive should be in the new Elite box. There's no accessories that require the box to be bigger. Mr. McMahon's exclusive box was the perfect size box for exclusives in my opinion (that doesn't have necessary accessories).

Just a regular Spinner mold with the center piece removed and a spinner piece added like DM Cena. I'm glad I've got this on pre-order, and I'm looking forward to it, but like others said, it could have been done much better.

Horrible head scan and an extremely plain attire. Definite pass for me. I'll just overpay for the strap on the bay ha ha. Really disappointed. This exclusive had so much potential

Looks better than I thought. The last two RSC exclusives have only been okay. They used to kick a lot more ass.

I do like the belts they have come with though. With Hogan and Hall signed, it would be cool if we had some exclusives involving them next year (eg. Hulk Still Rules or Mr America, Red + Black Scott Hall). I really wanted a Dude Love as an exclusive too, but I think that's off the table for now...

Face and hair still look atrocious. Carding looks dope though.

That's one of the sickest carding designs ever. The figure looks better than what I was expecting from the SDCC pics.
Totally getting it.

Ugh. Who approves these sculpts? This^ My assumption.. Mattel: hey here's your proto for your next exclusive RSC: *grabs and looks at the belt* Mattel: as you can see edge has a new headscan and black and red rated r tights RSC: wow, looks great! *only staring at the belt* Mattel: you're sure you don't want any alterations? RSC: *still examining belt* - no we love it! It's perfect! Lol

If Mattel/RSC would have foregone the expense of a new scan, could we have gotten this figure in camo? I seem to recall hearing that new scans are expensive, so I imagine that doing them for such a small number of figures, would be more so.
If using an already existing head would allow for more budget to go towards deco and accessories, I'd prefer that.
I really wish, just one time, RSC would let us in on the Exclusive selection process from the beginning.

A disappointing exclusive IMO. It just feels like a regular Flashback.
This attire was also never worn when Edge had the Rated R spinner. This attire is from his feud with Taker in 2008. When I heard this was an Exclusive Rated R Edge, I was hoping for his WM22 Street Fight attire. Or Atleast his Camo attire from WM23.
The figure itself is not bad. I just think it could have been so much more. Headscan looks good though.

Am slowly starting to warm up to this figure. I just wish they picked different attire rather then Summer Slam 08 attire because I already have the basic one that was released 3 years ago. I really wanted Unforgiven 06 attire. But then again I have the 1 of 3000 one which is in it. But why this attire? Edge didn't wear that during when he had the rated r spinner in 06. He didn't even wear this attire till 2008. But eh I love the attire regardless and Elite One would be cool.
