Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

Well, there is a 90% chance I will buy him if I see him at Walmart now because I'm not sure I can justify buying him as an Elite. I have all three original Wyatt Family members as Elite figures, but this guy just doesn't do anything for me and I'll buy him as a Basic to complete The Family but other than a mask what could he come with for an accessory? Plus he's like Big Show in the sense that I wouldn't want him for Elite articulation anyway since he does maybe three moves that barely require walking. Yeah, let's hope I find this at Walmart and close the chapter of Brawny Man Astro.

At least they didn't paint his face....that has ruined every Daniel Bryan figure for the last 2 years.

Not a fan of Strowman, but the figure looks pretty good.

His figure looks good overall and like that he is made up of mostly new parts. Can't wait for the Elite to complete my Elite Wyatt Family.

Why do that?! We could just include the mask with the elite and boom! People have to purchase both basic and elites *Mattel Logic* im pretty sure that's not the logic But it is. Do you honestly think they don't want more money?

^same reason the elite wont be up for preorder until the basic goes on back order or ships. "Why show them the better figure when we can play on their impatience/ignorance?"

this is a NICE figure . . . They have done such a great job with the Wyatt Family. I think bearded likenesses most be easier to capture or something.

I wish the brown corduroy pants were a shade lighter and the face an expression goofier than that, but I can live with this as Braun's debut figure.
The name being misspelled is not a shocker, but I wonder if Mattel sticks to it for his rumored upcoming Elite figure?
Speaking of which, I will be genuinely surprised if the Elite version comes with more than just a repainted black sheep mask accessory.
It might be asking for too much, but I would love to get another table alongside the mask.

Al_Snow_MotherF***ers Those were all posted several times yesterday and each time got deleted. Bill said the elites are all scrapped (nash,hall,eddie,larry) Basics not sure, but Brauns hands seemed to change so hopefully Apollos torso and arms do too

He looks great. I have him & Apollo already pre-ordered, so I'm glad to see he turned out this good.

That Hall head looked amazing though, hopefully it gets used on a 1997 and 2002 Hall before the lose the rights.
