Well that's disappointing! I might pick up Jake the Snake. Why do they keep doing re-release figures (George)? It's so annoying. I already have George the Animal so that's an easy pass, just like TRU Boss man, DM Taker, DM Austin, the upcoming Kamala is rumored to be a straight re-release.
Am I wrong here guys? Anything different then the original figure would be fine. Even though I won't get King Booker or Edge (already have figs of them and it isn't my fav. Era) I'm happy they at least are different.
I'll pick up Jake the Snake, but the ripped torso kinda sucks.
Congrats to the guy that wanted a camouflage Edge!

I really like the attire on Jake, and I'm glad King Booker has the gold trunks and isn't a straight re-release. Any elite Edge is a buy for me but this lineup got me thinking. I'm willing to bet there were better names attached for this like possibly Hogan and Dude Love. Contractual issues led Mattel to do what they've had to do in the past and change things on the fly.

It's a solid set. gives everyone a chance who missed out on King Booker and George Steele the first time around a chance to get them. Jake is a nice repaint and Edge is the camo that everyone wanted probably not in the color pattern they chose. The only thing that stinks is no first time in the line guy. Was hoping for Greg the Hammer,Mr. Fuji, Gorilla Monsoon and Don Muraco to make the cut as 1 of the 4.

In totally convinced know that whatever older figures people have missed out on they will be involved in the HOF line.

That George Steel is gonna overtake Tito's shelf warming title. Well at least George the Animal looks interesting. Tito looks like a 7/11 clerk in his tighty whities. I don't see why anyone would buy that figure unless you have a personal affinity for the wrestler.

This is great. Thank you Mattel for getting the toy game right. You are only one of two companies ( Tamashii Nations/Bandai) That will rerelease a figure based off of drmand instead of giving in to the small percent of hardcore completists. You have the ability to print money with past releases, so keep em coming!

I don't understand the king booker or George Steele. Same with kamala. I haven't heard many people asking for these What?! Bill said he wanted to release figures with high market value. King Booker is one of the most expensive on eBay and stuff.

That Edge is a big F U to @ratedredge. Actually, no. Didn't you say you wanted any camo, but preferably purple? Either way that sucks big.

I'll have to mess with the heads and see which one looks best on it.

Booker and Steele are baffling choices. Booker should've been an early 2000's look. They have that basic head they could've used. No one liked King Booker the FIRST time it came out.
And was ANYONE asking for another George Steele?
Edge. Yeesh. We finally get one, but they don't do the purple version we've been asking for for YEARS? Just another boring black attired figure.
Jake is a good choice, but WTF is with that torso?
Not a great set. All repaints and not particularly good ones.

Worst HOF set yet. Won't be getting any of them. They will warm shelves for months.

Will get: 2 of Jake 2 of Edge 1 Booker
Will probably pass on Steele. You can still get his legends figure moc for cheap. He never did anything for me even though it's a really cool figure
