Great set.
I wish, someday, they can do two-toned hair for Ziggler. His hair isn't ALL blonde. Put some dark roots in there!
Bulldog looks great.
Godfather looks great (wish for orange vest and/or graffiti saying on the back...but it was probably hard to find a PG saying).
Sid looks great (definitely needs the Winged Eagle).
Mizdow looks great.
Sting, the verdict is still out on him. But, right now, the least favorite of the set.

I was looking forward to Sting, but the bad attire choice and face is a huge letdown. Hopefully a better Elite version comes out soon  |

Sid was every bit the size of Undertaker and Kevin Nash. No reason he shouldn't share the same parts. Big missed opportunity to use the Hillbilly Jim body. The more I think about it, the more disappointed I am with a figure that I was do pumped to get

This plastic for T shirts, jackets and etc needs to stop. They just ruin the potential of how good the figure could have been

Then they said just basics. Don't like how these are going on elite figs. A guy like Kevin Owens I can see. Sting? No way. |

Man, I was looking forward for Sting. He's my favorite wrestler, but I honestly think that's the worst Sting figure up to date imo. That headscan just looks weird, the pads have the scorpion legs painted right on them( which is wrong) and molded shirt? Why not use RVDs torso? It works perfectly for modern sting. Now that I see loose pics I see why they gave the DM short boots, they planned on using them on this one but it's inaccurate. Stings current boots look nothing like those. Oh and here's the best part check out those ripped arms. At this point I'd be happy with them retooling the DM head. Man, we've waited this long for this? Ugh... I might pick up Sid but something looks unproportionate. Godfather and bulldog look good but I'll pass.. Overall, I'm disappointed.

Sting reminds of those awful Classic Superstars that were done in the Ljn style

Davey Boy Smith The British Bulldog  wow. What an outstanding figure. A lot of Golden Era wrestling figure fans will be delighted with his this one has turned out. As for Sycho Sid, I remember him doing that crazy smile a helluva' lot |

Miles better than the Jakks Classic Sculpt !
Glad I pre-ordered the whole set, because The Godfather & Bulldog are sexy, Sting is ok, but not what I expected.

I wonder if anyone's ever made a Yondu figure, because Sid's head looks like it could work. To me it looks like Sid, but yeah it's a bit goofy, not the worst scan, but definitely an odd expression. Here's what I mean about Yondu  Also Bulldog's scan bothers me in these photos, maybe it'll look better in person, but it just looks too much like his son with braids. Davey Boy had a squareish jaw, but was never really chubby. I don't know, I was looking forward to an iconic Bulldog look, but now I'm on the fence. |

Why is everyone complaining? They went for the "Sycho Sid" look and I feel they pulled it off.  Maybe not have the eyebrows raised and have them in normal position? It the reference pic he looks "sycho" with his eyebrows down but with his eyebrows up it looks like he's got the expression should I be smiling? |

Random thoughts:
Sid's thighs are too muscular.
Stings head is ridiculous and how can u tuck a shirt into singlets?
Looks like we finally got a good Chris Candido scan, but the hair and Dolph Ziggler attire are distractions.
Bulldog would've benefitted from the Brock torso.
Mizdow needs Bo Dallas torso.
With thos tiny biceps Godfather has, how in the hell can he keep his pimp hands strong?

Definitely going to do a blonde dry brush on Sid, and I'm going to acetone his eyebrows off and repaint them so they aren't pointing up

Sid and Bulldog are amazing...
But that Sting might be the worst Elite figure that Mattel has ever done.
