Someone at Mattel needs to be pulled aside and given a stern talking to. How are you going to take a figure to a festival with multiple scuff marks on it? This Flair has a big black mark on his chest, one on his abdominal muscle and one on his bicep. This is inexcusable. This fest should be an event where Mattel takes pride in the products they are showing to the public, and those products being presented should be in the best possible condition available. I agree, but I'm not happy with the torso choice either I think the torso's fine... the arms are the biggest problem.

The Brie Bella figure looks pretty cool, the paint detail is awesome. Not sure about the new headscan though, gotta see it in person. Disappointed with Alicia Fox. Nice attire, but the headscan is iffy. The eyes are green but for some reason that headscan looks less like her, and her hair isn't supposed to be brown! And wow, I was going through the pics pretty fast and ended up thinking that the new Trish was a new Layla for a second. The Trish figure looks great! So much better than the last one in terms of face paint application

OH MAN! These are freaking awesome!!! If those Flashbacks (Stonr Cold in shorts, Trish, Warrior etc.) are in fact Target Exclusives, we international collectors are getting screwed over again... Target in Canada rarely get anything new and they don't even carry Elites... That means I will have to spend all the extra money to get it on RSC and have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for shipping and maybe even customs fees...

I agree, they could use the same ones they use for guys like Bryan or RVD and they would look fine. It shouldn't be a tough fix if they don't change it, but still it should look appropriate for Flair to begin with, assuming they're making this Flair to match the WM8 Macho. I'm stoked for this figure regardless.

So... What's peoples guesses for pre-orders tonight/tomorrow or Monday?
My guess is E33, and Defining Moments Hulk for a guaranteed before Xmas delivery.
Not worried about basics
Don't think we'll see the target HOF series til spring 2015
I think we will see target rock by Xmas
I also think baf bearer and baf Kane will be this falls release
I think the next baf will be spring again with heenan and hart

Not really sure, did they give Batista a different torso compared to his previous elites?

I hope RSC will get the Target Exclusive Flashbacks because Canadian Targets won't.

Imagine that you are going to throw a party so you go and check out different banquet halls. What if when you go the halls are dirty and messy? And then the sample meals are cold or disgusting? Would you put a down payment and reserve the hall? Are you going to buy a new car that has been shown to you with all kinds of scuffs/scratches? The exhibit figures, especially at a fest/convention, should be the companys finest example of the product that will be comming out. So when a company presents something with that many scuffs it tells me that the best figure they could find had that many scuff. What can we expect from the figures they didnt choose to publicly exhibit? The funniest thing is your user name. I say that because the Wade Barret figure in the pictures also has scuffs on his torso.

Maybe it got scuffed on its way to the show? It's not some 1000$ item its a 10$ tou. That being said these all look pretty good and I'm really looking foward to all the flashbacks

Many times, they're hand painted samples. I agree though, carry a few q-tips and lacquer thinner for display pieces. In my opinion, it's like a lady walking around the grammy's with a ripped stocking or running mascara... just looks untidy.

So yes it will bug me to buy something this poorly made. The Flair, if it's a Proto, has only been handled by Mattel execs or sales reps. As such that would mean it went right from who ever painted it to the people who handle these figs at conventions, so why is it so scuffed? If you look at the pictures the Wade figure is scuffed, and the Hogan DM is also scuffed. I take this as an example of what Mattel is putting out there. Which is sad because in the years that I've bought Barbies for my mom and nieces, I've never seen a Barbie doll with scuffs like this.

They are early samples that they don't have to show you and you complain becUse of scuffs? Do they usually have them when you buy them in stores? If the early painted proto has scuffs and you don't like it than don't buy the God damn thing. It's not that hard.
