My thoughts: They're 5-10 years too late to truly cash in on the zombie craze.
Overall I don't care at all about these. Undertaker and HHH look cool, but nothing I'd buy. They seem like something someone would do as a custom. I "get" the guys like Undertaker and Bray but why make your big super faces zombies too? I'm just speculating these will be a Halloween thing. Cool for those who like them, but 0 interest on my part.

They're weird, but the more I think about them, the more I look forward to them. The protos look like Neca customized some Mattel figures, and that's a plus to me, I'll have to see the final version before I can really judge them, I hope they glow in the dark, or at least just the Undertaker. I also love that Triple H's head is just a #%&@ing skull.
Here are some zombie pun name ideas; Cold Dead Steve Austin, Exhumed Woods, The Rot, Carcass Jack, Death Phoenix, Ricamortis Flair, Decayed Barrett, D-composed Brown, The R.I.P. Kid, and uh, Billy Kidaverman?

Speaking as a collector who when he was a kid loved playing with figures, i think this line is great. I remember back when mattel first showed the create-a-superstar line it seems about 90% of people on this board thought it was the dumbest thing ever and they would never buy figures like that blah blah blah even though no matter what those people said i feel like those people went out and bought the line. Now that I said that I think mattel did a great job with this zombie line. I am not personally into the whole zombie thing but I think with The Walking Dead and what not it's a great money maker for collectors who are and for kids. I am all good with and line being made that makes mattel and wwe money so they can cont to making elites, basics, and diva figures.

Completely stupid. These are supposed to be wrestling figures representing a wrestling programming, WWE superstars are not superheroes/zombies/cartoon characters or whatever else WWE is pathetically trying to push them as. Stop trying to monopolize the entire entertainment industry and stick to your own turf, WWE.

Paige, Triple H & Undertaker look great. I think I'll pass on the rest. They're pretty cool though, something different.

I've never been a fan of zombies appearing in action figure lines aside from properties like the Walking Dead where they obviously belong.

I'll get taker to repaint his face to put onto an elite taker. I'll get Wyatt for the jacket and that's about it. The zombie figures suck IMO.

They're pretty cool, actually. I could see myself maybe picking up a few.
That said, I don't know how many people agree with what I am about to suggest. These are $12.99 apiece, presumably to cover the cost of new sculpts. What if the regular basics were raised to that price point and we instead got about ten new torsos or so for the regular line? Clean break from using the outdated torsos that the line started with. I'd really rather never see that awful Triple H torso ever again. In every instance of every torso introduced after 2010, they all look better and have more natural posturing. Basic Kofi, basic Cena, Basic Ezekiel Jackson, basic Jack Swagger. All massively improved with new body sculpts.
Imagine a more appropriate sized Finn Balor or Randy Orton. Imagine Jericho not being so skinny anymore. Imagine a realistic Triple H who still looks physically imposing without the hourglass waist and the He-Man cartoon abs.
