Triple H head scan looks sweet. I'm hoping they put it on a Basic figure soon as well, because I'm going to need an extra head to put on the COO Triple H body.

Jake "The Quake" Roberts should've came with the old school tag title. Who knows if they'll ever do Typhoon, but any excuse to get those tag belts is a good one. Anyhow, really like the molded singlet. I'm really impressed with the entrance gear in this set. The Matadores look pretty damn perfect, and they're going to really stand out on the shelf. I hope that's enough to get them to move at stores. They finally got Orton's beard right, and combined with the uncommon blue tights, this is the first Elite Orton in ages that looks interesting. Harper wasn't really necessary, and the recycled Steamboat crocs aren't helping. It makes sense with his gimmick, at least. I just like the other one better. Triple H's new scan looks great! He's needed a close-cut headscan for a very long time now. Entrance gear covers it up sadly, but that's how it looked.

HHH is a must-buy... the rest are not wanted. Looks like most of the budget went on the waste-of-space Matadores. Earthquake would look better as a basic - too many joints in the legs, but not as good as the JAKKS version anyway, imo. Mattel can never get the bigger/fat blokes right in elite form.

This actually isn't as bad a set as I thought it would be. Earthquake looks awesome. I really think Mattel nailed this set and made me interested in a set I originally had very little interest in.

I don't even like Los Matadores and even they are incredibly executed. But let's talk about Orton for a second... This is the best one from Mattel far and away. The bigger arms, the fabric shirt, the awesome scan.
I'll say it, on paper this sounded weak, with pics, this is the best set I have seen since Elite 19 and Elite 23! All six are must own.

put damian w quake? i know he supposedly killed him n all but damn. that cerebral assassin is pretty tuff tho cant lie. yeah gators w harper idk. I still remember WWF replaying that incident on their Saturday morning show with Sean Mooney. Every time Earthquake dropped onto the bag the camera cut back to Sean and he would wince in pain and apologize for the graphic nature of what was happening. Great stuff.

Nailed it.that earthquake is so Damn good.
Couldn't ask for more.
But I will anyways haha, Natural Disasters anyone?
5 more years, may very well happen. Only disappointment in seeing the blue outfit was that it means there probably won't be a typhoon for a while.
Great parts. Great sculpt. No detail missing Home run mattel

Quake is cool, gonna pass, but glad Apoc and others can get one. HHH is cool, but no preorder Matadores are the bomb, retail pick up probably Harpers cool. Im a fan so ill grab it. Wish it was the blue puzzle piece vest. Orton scan is goofy, but ill switch with baf JR head because the blue trunks and evolution shirt are sweet!

Earthquake is fantastic. The attire wasn't my first choice, but it was a strong second choice. And they nailed it. The Damien accessory is really odd, but it works as well as anything. He will be mine for certain
I really like both Los Matadores. I might get them, but we'll see how it goes.
Luke Harper is fine for a repaint. The picture of him holding the gators is hilarious. I'd like the new vest, but probably not enough to buy him. I can probably just get one to add to my current Harper
Triple H Looks great. I may have to buy him as well.
Orton looks good, but I doubt I'd buy him. The blue trunks do make it tempting, but I'll probably just stick with my All Stars figure.

I guess this means no El Matador figure? I'd prefer a Strike Force style Tito anyway.
But they're really shooting themselves in the foot if El Matador is in the plans for the next 5 years of flashbacks they have to think up.
Because u got 2 identical looking guys wearing, what is essentially the same attire as an El Matador figure. And if these 2 low-mid card tag team figs don't sell well. Retails not going to be thrilled to get another figure that looks just like them.
Also, Fernando isn't pictured. I don't think anyone else has noticed that all those pics are of Diego.
And not to burst any bubbles, but Fernando & Diego aren't the same scale as Tito. He was taller, heavier and buffer than them

Ehh....nothing really jumping out at me as a for sure pre order. I'll probably order Earthquake when he goes up for back order so I can get a little bit of a price break just because I know he will be damn near impossible to find at retail. All I REALLY want from the set is the new Triple H head so I'll probably pick him up. Entrance gear looks pretty cool as well. Los Matadores look good. Orton in blue is cool just not a fan of the scan. I have no need for another Harper.

I am THRILLED with that Earthquake. Not only is it a great figure, but I can finally have a snake for my Jake figure, which I bought loose. That bag is a great accessory too.
Los Matadores look phenomenal also. I will probably pick them up.
Not a bad figure in the set, but I see no reason to pick up another Harper. Triple H and Randy Orton look great, but probably skips for me.

Earthquake looks perfect. The best figure from this wave without any doubt.
Los Matadores... what a waste of two spots in an Elite series. At least those that wanted a great looking Tito Santana Elite Flashback can make one on their own now.
HHH I'll pick up with Quake. It'll be my only modern Hunter figure. Glad I waited.

Not the best. Possibly get Matadores, maybe HHH and Orton.

Check out Randy's finger! They added the yarn/string ring his daughter makes him. Sweet detail! I'm glad you posted this as I've wondered what the deal was with the thing on his finger. I saw him pick it up off the mat in a match and put it on his finger ( apparently I failed to notice it before it fell off). Then noticed it on his finger the next week. Wasn't sure what it was.

Awesome on Quake! That's what I wanted! Good job Mattel! Was hoping for classic tag belt with Quake but a extra snake and bag is cool. Quake killing Damien was a shocking moment in WWE history.
