Sid and Bulldog are both perfect and must own as soon as possible IMO. Love the scan on both.
Godfather couldn't be better and I'll pick him up eventually.
Ziggler is okay, but the belt looks cool.
Sting is alright. Not crazy bout the head or the red shirt. Odd decision.
Mizdow looks good, but I don't plan on getting him.

That bulldog is pure gold
I really like Sid but I would have preferred a serious or angry looking sculpt... This one would have been great if they nailed the sculpt.... It's still good but a little off. I wonder if reprinting the eyes and eyebrow would help.... Lower the eyebrow a little. I'm not complaining, it's still a solid 8/10.

it's a well-crafted figure but I don't know I just don't believe it deserved an elite spot and literally the fact that three of my targets down here have 12 of them shelf warming isn't helping its case |

I think Sid looks great. Love the scan. Wish he had a WWE or wCw championship, but that's no big deal.  |

Aw man, that Sid headscan SUCKS!! What is with Mattel's recent obsession with smiling headscans for superstars it doesn't suit? Also I don't care about current Sting but that headscan is laughably bad, looks like a squashed cartoon head or something. And again with the inaccurate "woodgrained" bat... Might get Godfather, but that's it. I am just so disappointed by that Sid. STOP WITH THE SMILING HEADSCANS MATTEL!! Notice how in the "Pre-Order Elite 39" image, Sid is not smiling...  I think we all would have been happier if Sid looked like this:   Ah like the pic they had on the pre-order pic...... EXACTLY!! |

Don't know why everyone's complaining about Sting. Sure it's an odd choice of attire, but it's different and that's what I like about it.
Godfather was made to perfection.
Bulldog once again perfect.
Sids scan captures his "pyscho" smile.
I like this set a lot. it's unique

]I get the white part. But hill billy? He was jakked Agreed but there's something wrong with Sid, Ultimate Warrior, Triple H and Lex Luger sharing the majority of the same body. I thought it was passable but slightly disappointing they didn't make a unique torso for Lex. Sid Vicious on this body is laughable. Some new body parts would've been ideal, but I like what this guy had going: Since we are talking about Sid, this is what a Lesnar upper torso half looks like on hillbilly jim lower stomach.   I don't think there's a torso out there that fits sid and the available heads are so-so. This at least gives sid the larger chest without making him thick all the way down. Also the head doesn't look so big. Something very wrong with sharing the same parts when they don't even resemble bodies. Didn't even the E2 and E6 Batistas share that mold also or at least the later ones... |

Sid's torso & legs are just bugging the hell out of me the more I think about them. Please MDT Im begging you, for the love of the wrestling Gods....I realize these might be too far into production but either change Sid's body to the Hillbilly Jim body or make his skin tone light enough to where we can do head swaps onto the Hillbilly Jim body. That is exactly the parts I though they should have used on Sid. |

I think people are more concerned with the weird looking headscan and part choices (and using plastic over cloth) than the attire itself. I have no need for a current Sting figure myself as I'd rather not remember him selling out to become a WWE jobber, but I do agree that headscan is pretty off. |

Its a thicker build and while ripped its not as defined I guess you'd say...but those long skinny ass legs......  |

Would rather Sid have the angry face. I think Godfather is the best in the set. Bulldog is a bit of a disappointment in my view. Dolph is great. Mizdow is nothing too interesting to me. Sting is definitely a HUGE disappointment. The set looked great on paper, I think it is a bit underwhelming after the protos are released.

I thought for sure he was going to redeem himself with Seth He's 0 and 2 now.... They should be using him as a mega heel veteran who is nearly unstoppable to promote someone like Seth later |

Sting is really dissapointing. I get its his debut attire and I'm sure we will get a a singlet Sting, but if basic 55 can have it I don't see why the Elite couldn't be ready in time. The Godfather and British Bulldog look great. Sid's scan doesn't bother me but the torso and legs both seen skinny to me. Ziggler is alright, he may look better in person but I think he's a guy Mattel can just never seem to nail. It doesn't help every Ziggler we get ends up being outdated either. Mizdow there is nothing wrong with, at least he'll look nice next the The Miz even if the duo is over.
Overall I'm pretty disappointed with this set mostly. It went from looking like one of the best on paper to kind of being just a decent set.

In my opinion all of them look amazing besides Sid. That body is off.

Does the Intercontinental Championship Title Belt have the Network logo on the main plate and the scratch logo on the side plates!?

I pre-ordered Bulldog and Sid blind and I'm glad I did because I personally think they both gold, especially Bulldog. Has a chance to be in my top 3 at years end for best of the year. Sting is tough for me, and I knew it would be. He's my second favorite superstar of all time behind Warrior, and I have every Warrior made except for the his newest exclusive, and that's because I don't like modern figures of classic guys, but I would have bought it for normal elite price. Sting falls in that category as well, but this is normal elite price. After seeing it, I'm still torn on what to do... Same with the new basic as its nearly identical to the DM but he's one of those guys that I want complete collections of so idk... Thanks for reading my rant to self haha
