Wow, that Edge looks so cool I may have to get him. But do I really need a 3rd Rated R Edge? Can't decide...

Edge is definitely the best one out of the set.

No excuse for that torso on Jake Roberts...Absolutely NONE!!!! Mattel is starting to cut way too many corners. Ill let QC things slide. Figures are mass produced and nobody is perfect. However anyone with 2 even half functioning eyes....Jesus Ray  ing Charles could tell you that torso is WRONG for Jake Roberts. |

Mattel have been cheaping out like crazy and Im not seeing enough complaints from members on here. All I seem to do is complain when I post which I dont like doing but you cant let Mattel get away with the things they have been doing. They have been botching their figures all over the place, Machos with no shirts/vests, re-releases like Mr Perfect in the HOF set with the exact same terrible torso as the legends release. I could go on forever and a day but Ill not repeat myself. Id like to know why these cost cutting measures are in place because its not acceptable. |

Jake and Edge look awesome, MOC! I like the way they've packed Edge not wearing his coat. Even though I'm disappointed with this line-up, I'm still really pleased the HOF line exists... the more Legends/Flashbacks, the better - even if they are repaints.  |

I love the set coming up. I missed out on Steele the first time so I'll def want this. Same with Booker and Jake. Edge I'll prob pick up but not really a figure I wanted.

I could go on forever and a day but Ill not repeat myself. Id like to know why these cost cutting measures are in place because its not acceptable. I don't think the majority the customer base for WWE action figures honestly do not care about which torso is being used, or if there are repaints being released, considering a lot of these guys like Steele, Edge, and Roberts haven't been released in a long time. I can understand your frustration as you must be a hardcore collector, but keep in mind that these are essentially TOYS that are being marketed towards CHILDREN to play with. Torso choices are sure to be the last thing on a lot of the consumer bases minds. I am a pretty hardcore collector myself and honestly, I can't even notice a lot of the issues that a lot of you guys complain about. Much like everything else, I think a lot of you guys are really jaded, just like most of the rest of the IWC in general. If you don't like something, then stop collecting. Nobody is making you buy these things. |

That Edge might be my first new Mattel since 2014. Really good looking figure IMO. I know man. It looks so awesome. Figure of the year candidate. figure of the year? maybe your taking it a bit too far lol |

Looks like Jake Roberts quit DDP Yoga and started doing Kinobody with Greg O'Gallagher.
Jake Roberts was never in the kind of shape where he was cut.

Edge may not be purple, but he looks great regardless. A lot more interesting than the E1 version I currently have.
The rest are a pass. I have a better Jake (really baffled by those changes), I already have a Booker I don't really care about (GIVE US A 2001-2003 BOOKER), and already passed on Steele the first time.
Where the hell is Bob Backlund? He may not sell that well, but he'd do a hell of a lot better than a rerelease of George Steele.

Edge and Booker are a must.
Jake would be good for an alternate attire but not something I'll actively seek out as I'm happy enough with the Legends.
George I'm happy with the Legends figure so I'll pass personally, but one of my friends grew up with him and missed the original so I'll likely buy this for him. Same with Jake.

WOW, lots of reveals since I last logged in. These look good, however, I'm torn. The previous 3 sets have set the bar so high that I expect more. My fault. Great repaints tho, I may pickup the new snake man.

Okay, so I don't even really collect figures anymore, but I MUST have the Jake The Snake.
