Sid- Excellent, looks as ripped and lanky as he did irl, the expression is horrifying in the best way(sort of looks like an SMB movie Koopa), really like the vest too. A blue trunks variant would be cool(ala Ted Dibiase).
Bulldog- Excellent, his head looks a little floaty, but it's the best Bulldog yet.
Sting- Molded shirt makes the figure look cheap, but every other detail is great, I'll reserve judgement on the head until I have it in hand.
Godfather- Pretty darn good from waist up(I might've used Bray Wyatt legs), wish the vest was a clashing color.
Dolph- Pretty good.
Sandow- Pretty good, though the jacket looks too short, I dunno if that's accurate or not.

I think Mattel should give the f' up on crow Sting and start making Surfer Sting en mass!!!!!!!!!!! Why do I have to wait 'til Jan 2016 for DM GAB Sting - where are all the Surfer Stings Bill promised? ...I'm pretty sure we'll get a couple of classic/surfer Stings in the Basic line, after the DM one has been released (similar to how we got the Basic Hogans, Flair and Hall after their DM figures had been released)...  |

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but it looks like Ziggler's IC title has new logo on base plate, but old logos on side plates. The party has already started on that one lol. |

Godfather makes a tempting case to start collecting again... "COME GET ON THE FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGG TRAIN" fig train. I like it. |

I noticed that, but since the difference in the logos would be very little on the figure belt, I thought I'd wait until I see it in person to judge. To the people that don't understand why we're complaining about Sting, it's very simple: Sting's head looks rather cartoony. He has a molded shirt. It was fine for APA, because that was a major look for them, but Sting had a match not long after this look. I'm sure there's a singlet mold they could've used. We wanted a ring gear Sting! |

Def want to pick up Godfather, Bulldog and Sid. Mizdow looks like the elite Miz with the Damien headsculpt. Ziggler looks ok and the Sting is an easy pass.

Raw debut Sting is still really accurate though. I don't see the issue with this Sting apart from it not being what apparently a majority wanted: Ring Gear Sting. His attire is accurate. For them to have included a cloth shirt meant that they needed to have actually talk with Sting and find out what he was wearing underneath the Shirt if anything. If you'll notice in the actual pics from Raw, he's wearing tights most likely as the Scorpion design stops before the waist. They do not rise all the way up to his armpits. I've noticed this several times with Sting, espeecially when he's wearing the shirt during this part of his WWE tenure. |

If they had just given us the jacket with his ring gear molded, it would be way better. It looks kinda cheap with a molded shirt. They put out Roman Reigns in his Wrestlemania gear in the previous set. They could've done the same for Sting. |

Sting looks terrible, Sid looks laughable, Bulldog looks amazing, and Godfather looks perfect.

Godfather looks good. Sting looks like a lego figure. Sid looks odd, I think it is his eyebrows. Bulldog doesn't look like Davey, it looks exactly like Harry dressed up as his dad. Lol.

The Godfather, British Bulldog and Damien Mizdow are must haves for sure!

They put out Roman Reigns in his Wrestlemania gear in the previous set. They could've done the same for Sting. I don't understand what you mean by "can't do it right." If it was a cloth shirt, it can be removed. If it's removed, what attire does Sting have on? It would be an attire we've never seen before because he has never been shirtless with those new tights. I couldn't find clear pics, but this is what I mean. At Survivor Series 2014, Sting was wearing a shirt, and tights. Notice the scorpion logos? The claw are already showing around mid thigh.  Then, look at the Raw where he saved Orton, it's his singlet. The scorpion claws are nowhere to be seen.  On his Raw Debut, he's clearly wearing the same pants/tights from Survivor Series. (I just couldn't take a clear screen cap. I got these pics from a Google Image Search). He's literally never wrestled in these tights. We've literally never seen him without a shirt. If he had a cloth shirt, you'd be able to remove it. Then not only would you have an inaccurate look, but Mattel would be taking a shot in the dark trying to figure out what he's wearing underneath--if anything. And, if they were lucky enough to get a confirmation, it'd be a look we never saw on tv. I just don't see how it could be done more right without sacrificing accuracy. |
