Elite 44 Lineup ? Is there info on these yet?

Soft Goods = Elite, male or female. I figure when you have to pay $20 for an Elite female it's just payback for when you only had to pay $10 for awesome figures like Basic 62 Natalya or Basic 23 Alicia Fox that could very well have been Elites. Aside from double knees they have all the articulation of the men.

AJ is the worst Elite of all time. I hate it. Kelly was awesome and had the vac divas championship and arm sleeves. I have to figure that Lita, Trish and Elizabeth warranted a higher price tag because they had to pay extra royalties to them or their family. Totally justified not to mention they came with vac belts, softgoods and plastic molded tops. Paige is worth it for the belts alone. Stephanie's fan signs were a joke but I like the figure and that's what matters the most to me. Five years from now I'm not going care or remember how much I paid for something.

With that being said, hell yes Sasha Banks and Eva Marie Elites. Hell yes Charlotte with her robe. Hell yes Women's Championship and hell yes Flashback Divas.

Eva (new scan, entrance robe, maybe even her WM32 white jacket, the red one looks expensive)
Charlotte (two: first with the new belt, then again with the robe in the WM series, doubt they'd give us both)
Becky Lynch (new scan, duster, top hat)
Bayley (arm tassels, resized NXT belt)
Nikki Bella (new headscan, lettermens jacket, hat and divas championship)
Asuka (her deco is nuts, they might give her the mask only and not the robe)

Should be Elites. I'd buy the hell out of them.

Koko and Tugboat are preorders for certain. Macho Man I might get with DM Warrior should I find him on clearance. Big E is a must to complete the New Day, Sasha I'll have to see what she looks like as I already have her Basic. and Braun I might pick up to go with Bray.

As for E45, I'll likely have to see what these all look like, but I'd love another mid 90s Taker, HBK sounds promising but we've had a lot of him lately between TRU and Walgreens so wait and see for him. Kamala I missed out on so I'll gladly buy him, Jericho I'll likely pass, and Magnum I feel is a must. If Warrior is an L6 redo, I'll get him as well.

I understand why there's such distain for reissues, but I feel if there's enough changes the original should retain exclusivity and not be a damper on the collectors worrying about devaluation. Packaging itself should be a big indicator if nothing else and it gives relatively new collectors a chance to get great figures or even perfect ones, as is the case with Kamala.

Hopefully it's the right Macho Man so I can finish this Benoit custom with 0 paint.

How?

by not having to paint anything, clearly as described.

No one in the next two elite series is even worth while or exciting. Snooze fest
