I'll have to get Ultimate Warrior. The Jakks version of that figure was one of my favorite figures. I missed out on the original release, for whatever reason. Also, in my opinion this is Warriors best attire and most iconic moment.
Taker is tempting too, I have the Elite Wrestlemania figure in the grey from last year, but I like the purple gear more. That was probably my earliest memories of Undertaker. I'm still holding out for an Elite of Attitude Era Taker. So I may pull the trigger on this too if one isn't revealed at SDCC

I'm tempted to get Taker as well. Missed the original but converted the SS Heratige using the WM elite and bought the mask loose online. All I would be gaining is the jacket, hat and a few more tattoos.

WWE pulled the plug on Koko, not Mattel. Stop blaming Mattel. Actually blame Koko, he's the one that decided to join a frivolous lawsuit against WWE. when i googled....all the stuff that came up was from a year ago. So u would think a whole year ago, WWE would terminate his legends contract and he'd be removed from any line-ups. yet a couple months ago he was on the leaked line-up lists. And even went up for pre-order today. wth thats like if a year from now, a Stardust pre-order goes up Or like them making a HOF Cactus Jack figure? So Mattel just decided not to make Koko? |

Koko was approved by WWE to make it to the 2016 product during the lawsuit. I'm still hoping he just gets re-shuffled into another line-up.

Are the legends elite figs re-packs because on ringside.com they are showing figs I already have. The hbk fig is from e19, undertaker from e23, etc.

I believe Mattel has its marketing team who knows what they are doing by rereleasing these older figures which were made in 2010 to 2013. Its 2016 now. There are many more new collectors into this line since then who would want to have a chance to complete and fill the missing void in their collection. There are also those like me who already owned some or all of the legends series but who would also like to collect extras to keep as mint collection. Therefore there is a big market out there for Mattel to milk the cash. This time is different from 2010 where it is less likely for the line to fail because back in 2010 ... collectors were demanding and yearning for top tier stars like hogans & flairs but were only given george steeles, bob ortons and the likes. Hence the line was short lived. So for those who do not wish to recollect the same figures, and for those who were planning to resell their old legends figures at evilbay prices ... please keep to yourself your grudges against Mattel's decision and let others have a chance at being a happy collector.  |

Dropped $400 (Canadian). Good thing I'm a loser and don't have anything else to spend money on.

This is exciting news...  Do we know if the Elite Legends is an ongoing line, or just a one-off (...maybe to test the waters)? Also, is the HOF line still continuing? Disappointing that Koko was pulled... was he just not ready in time or is it a legal/rights issue? (sorry for all the questions!) |

The hbk fig is from e19, undertaker from e23, etc. Some of the figs are re-releases, but magnum ta is kinda new since it was never technically released, and we aren't sure what attire Jericho is in. Im hoping warrior comes with at least 1 belt. |

I'm realllllly curious as to whether the set after Elite Legends will be E45 or E46
E44 and Legends are due at the same time, right?
But Bill basically said it was a regular elite line set. I'm thinking they just rebranded the name for E45.

They are pumping out such a ridiculous amount of figures both basic and Elite that I'm sure noone gives a f*** if you personally are going to buy a third version of the same Undertaker figure. I mean you already bought it twice. This is a Greatest Hits wave, with Magnum T.A. as a bonus. It is what it is. Well... Shots fired huh Not everything has to be a sh*tstorm argument you know. Difference of opinions, a little rudeness about it. Are we not bonding over an incredibly violent subject? |

If all of these are straight up re-releases, then thats some bullcrap.
I seriously dont care about selling to aftermarker, or the value of the originals going down, but damn thats a sorry choice for the people that have been collecting since the beginning.
I mean Im glad for the ones that were late to the game or passed originally, but jeez ... They wonder why it bombed last time ...
Koko better be in HOF 4 or 5, but if they don't show it at SDCC, then it'll probably join the lines of Hogan that we wont see.
Im waiting until after SDCC to make any orders.

We will know for sure when he speaks at sdcc. |
