I don't mean this to sound judgmental at all and admittedly I'm not sure of price points for all lines, but the MMPR and Sailor Moon figures cost about $35.00 at Barnes and Noble. Isn't that roughly the same as most elites from Ringside when including shipping, especially the more desired by collectors figures? There are online stores (like Toyz in the Box) who sell Figuarts and have free shipping. You're not all that far off. RSC asks about the same price for pre-sale Elites. If SHF can crank out these figures with real consistency, I might be getting more from them than Mattel.

Don't expect multiple figures out at once. The Rock and Stone Cold are probably a trial run and if they move enough units, we'll probably get Warrior, Macho, and more Legends. Don't expect figures of current wrestlers.

These are for collectors yo lol. They can't replace Mattel... Did Figuarts replace Hasbro for Star Wars and Marvel? Nope.
If you're into Figuarts this is some sweet news!
I need more DBZ Figuarts haha, then they can fight Rock, Austin, Bruce Lee and Freddie Mercury! Lol

I never really expected them to do WWE superstars. It's strange to me.

WHat I find is Amazing is people complain about the GAB Sting for $25 and willing to pay $60 for these. I say that in a positive way. People understand that Figuarts are worth the price tag, while we know and all feel Mattel is shafting us. We all knew Sting needed to have a cloth jacket and Mattel knew we would be upset but did the rubber and them had the never to call it a Defining Moment.
Back to Figuarts. I am so happy. I always wanted a really GREAT Razor Ramon. I know I am way ahead, but to think I can finally have one that can call for the Razor's Edge or even have a toothpick to throw. I can have one with multiple expression and can bend his arms. Oh happy days ahead. Goodbye Mattel.
It always bothered me that my figres cannot do certain moves. I am a guy who has his WWE ring and pose his characters doing their signature moves, or taunt as my display poses. I can't have Diesel calling for the Jacknife or Bret Hart do the Sharpshooter. But now there is hope.

IF, and that's a big if, they are allowed to do outside contracts (Hogan), then this may be the way we finally get an Owen Hart figure. Martha doesn't blame wrestling, she blames WWE (that's why she allowed Owen to be put in the legends of wrestling games).

I collect the Figuarts DBZ figures and there great.
They really know how to pose there figures and take great pics...be nice if RSC and Mattel could try matching that.

Yeah, the amount of articulation on figuarts is nuts. I do have to say that there will only be a select amount of figures they'll do and they won't exactly come quickly

Here's some better pics of the figures, it's a buy from me for sure. They may change a few things here and there, but overall the figures look great. If I were you guys I wouldn't skip getting these at all.

I'm just noticing now that Rock's shoulder swivel goes into the pecs which means that these guys will be able to reach across! I only have Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, Sailor Moon, and DBZ SH figuarts and all of those pretty much had armor that was obstructing their arms from really crossing each other, so it's good that they found a solution to this.

One thing to keep in mind,too - these will be smaller than Mattel. Unless you don't mind a Rock that's shorter and skinnier than Sting, they'll have to be kept as basically a separate line from Mattel. They won't intermix well at all.
Not trying to discourage anyone, just saying if anyone thinks they will fit right in with Mattel, they won't.

I've never heard of this company. And the photos are kind of making them look iffy. Are they Mattel size or the McFarlane statue size? They around the same size as Mattel but they're a bit smaller. Around 1/2 an inch smaller. They could still look good next to Mattel figs though. I doubt they'd fit in next to Mattel's especially when my Elite 22 Rock is still noticeably taller than some of my SHF Super Saiyan Goku's with the larger super saiyan hair.
