Mattel WWE Elite Series 39 New PROTO IMAGES!

I have not much complaints.
It took me less than a minute to like that sid scan.
Bulldog is good.
Godfather great.

Sting looks intersting with painted shirt but the scan doesnt look like an old guy.. maybe the hair..

Ziggler still on the juice..

Mizdow looks good.. might get it for custom..

I think Mattel did a phenomenal on this set. I'm strictly a Golden Era/ New Gen collector. Sid obviously works for those eras. I think Sting is fine as is his head sculpt. I was actually thinking that the shirt mold with a little modification would work for an Ultimate Maniac Randy Savege.

But this is Mattel, not lazy Jakks and mattel has the library of parts to make something that would better resemble Sid.

If we weren't talking about a flashback, I wouldn't be so upset because if we have a gripe about a modern roster guy, they can take our feedback into consideration and make adjustments for the next release. But the fact of the matter is that this may be the only Sid we get (hope that's not the case) so sometimes it feels like we've only got one shot to make it perfect.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful because I'm a mattel fan boy and I'll admit that in a heartbeat, but this one bugs me big time as Sid was in my top 5 wants. Like I said, I'm definitely getting him still but I'm going to try and repaint the hair, eyes and eyebrows to try and pull some likeness into the sculpt. Sometimes a great sculpt is there but is buried under poor paint apps. As far as the body goes...I can live with it, but if I can swap parts out pending matching skin tones then I will.

they don't really have a perfect torso for Sid. Kane, HHH & Bluetista torso were probably the only options. And neither is ideal.

not a lot of 6'9 guys built like Sid

I must say mattel really a good job on bulldog this time
as for sting I hope mattel could fix the head

Everything about that Dolph Ziggler is fine except his nose. It looks a bit big to me.

This probably seems like a nitpick but Sid is missing his socks. You could pretty much always see Sid's socks sticking up from his boots to his knee pads.

Jesus, the Sting isn't THAT bad. I really don't know about the t shirt, but I suppose that was pretty much how he dressed when he first burst onto the scene. My possibly incorrect prediction is that the head will actually look considerably better, maybe even good, in person.

Sid...I really don't think I like that head. I know the look they were going for, I'm just not sure it translates well in figure form. He looks more goofy than crazy. Looks like Triple H when they really should've just gone with the Kozlov torso. Other than those notes...it's just bad. It looks literally thrown together with what was available, no care in choosing pieces. Should have taller boots, shorter calves, and white socks jacked up to the kneepads. Very plain, regular-ass figure. I know, Sid wore black, but the little things like chest hair, the little yellow logo on the elbow pad, taller boots, and the white socks make an otherwise underwhelming figure a star.

Godfather is just awesome. Too bad I don't buy Attitude guys or I'd be all over that.

Bulldog is phenomenal, even though the head looks more like a modded David Hart Smith than Davey Boy. Certain purchase.

Mizdow looks great for what it is, and it would be a perfect addition to a Miz display...which I don't have, making this pretty pointless.

Ziggs is a strange one. The head looks kinda good in the first pic, but in the last it looks more like Adrian Adonis. I don't like silver attires so I wouldn't get it anyway, making it a non-issue. Its strange how outdated the slicked back, glowing yellow hair already seems now that I am so used to the shaggy brown with yellow tips.

i need them all
