taking another look at Dibiase....im hoping thats not the curtis axel/fatt hardy torso.
Dibiase was billed 6'3 (260lbs). Pretty much everyone that has made a custom used the Terry Funk/Regal torso. That worked much better. They really need to scrap everything but the head

The original Elite Nash has the tan skin tone. If that's the case, they won't match for a switch if that's what you're after, like me. |

Ok thanks for the info guys. That was a really small flashback showing this year.... I'll take quality over quantity. They were all big hitters and heavily requested. I'm very happy with the Flashbacks/Legends. Outside of the Hogan & Sting, I wouldnt say any of them were really "heavy hitters" Bulldog, APA, Godfather were all pretty much middle of the pack guys and Jimmy Hart is a manager which could be hit or miss. The DM was a let down and Hall was a swing and a miss simply because of color choice. |

Am I the only one not pissed about Taker. Except for the usual waves of Cena, The 2 Rybacks and the intellectually- disabled Zombie figures I'm overall happy with this years showing.

The Ryborg showed today is easily the best one in Mattel's history on attire choice, too bad they still think he's tiny. |

Yeah, about Ryback....We can retire that scan. It doesn't work, and the Elite 24 scan is so amazing, I don't see any reason for it anymore.

I just hate Ryback...lol Lol I know what you mean, I couldn't stand him until this past title run. I've never owned a figure of his not only because his figure sucks but he does too. But now I just need one because he's such a big part of the product |

Honestly i forgot that those figs were tan...until i just now walked over to my display. I had to shine a light on them next to a barry windham figure to notice the skintone difference. THe Diesel/Nash figs have a very slight tan. There not even as dark as the elite 30 Lex Luger when i put them next to him. I want the head for my Diesel fig  |

Most of my big attitude era wants are APA, Godfather, Shamrock, Val Venis and Gangrel. so we can check a bunch of those off the lists |

However, guys like Goldberg, proper Scott Hall, Hogan, Sting, Warrior...those are guys I consider heavy hitters. I can add the new Macho to that list, i forgot about him originally but its a great looking figure. Wish they would have used the Warrior tassels though. I hate those separate piece ones. |

its no use for me to make a list of all the things i want....because i collect all elites. it takes a lot to make me buy basics...but i really want that brown haired Nash head...and the head on that Bray Wyatt basic. I have to have J & J security. Naomi, Paige, Charlotte & El Torito might make their way into my collection too. im gonna hold off on getting Ascension till we get word on if they're getting elites or not. The scans look great tho This sums my thoughts exactly. |

So it's a wash there. 2014 we saw Vader, Rock, Rey Mysterio, JYD, X-Pac and Doink 2015 we're seeing Million Dollar Man, Bradshaw, Farooq, Jimmy Hart, WCW Macho, Prototype Cena, British Bulldog and Godfather. Thats equal or better to last years showing |

I loved the show.
Negatives.....
The fourth dm surprise was completely unnecessary.
Surfer sting is very high on my wants list, but gab90 sting is my least favorite. But oh well, I'm still onboard.
I'm also disappointed by the farooq head scan.
Bearer still a baf
Positives.......
Hollywood
Scott hall is a great rsc exclusive
Braided bulldog probably in E39
Godfather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New macho looks nice
I love the jimmy hart
Glad to get elite m$m, and even more glad I have his eg suit to go on the new elite.

Why hasn't anyone considered that M$M & Jimmy Hart are early protos of HOF series 3? I was thinking M$M, Jimmy Hart and British Bulldog were early protos of HOF 3, but the 4th I have no idea who they would be. Plus, if those WERE the HOF 3 protos, then besides The Godfather, what would be the Flashbacks to the series past E38 ? |

Thats equal or better to last years showing I didnt get my Neon Green Elite Surfer Sting. Everything is a failure until I own this!  Seriously though I enjoyed last years line up much more with the exception of GAB 90 Sting. |
