You are all so damn deserving. You're given an inch, you expect a mile. Here is a guy who doesn't need to waste his time here, that will chime in time to time, and yet you all crap all over him personally and his products. These are toys. Very very affordable toys. These aren't collector grade figures, or scaled models. They are globally distributed, mass produced toys. At $10-$25 a piece, these are an amazing value. Give or take additional accessories from figure to figure, you always get your moneys worth. Yes this is a forum for discussing both positive and negative discussions. But alot of yoh take it from managable complaints to flat out ridiculous claims and grievances. Just shut the up. Buy it or pass on it, its that simple. You continually run Bill off. Admins here are at an all time high of banning people for this. This forum is lacking enjoyment because of your constant millineal butt hurtery. YOU AREN'T OWED ANYTHING!!! The whole point of the forum is to discuss figures, positives or negatives smh... True. But there is a line that gets crossed constantly where a discussion is turned to an argument, or a complaint is treated as if Bill walked into someones house, kicked their cat, crap on the couch, and drew all over their figures with sharpies.

Sasha will be fixed so you delete the pic of her from the OP? Ok..... Not like the face is the only part of the figure

Good News: Sasha's face has improved since this sample photo was taken. Final face deco was actaully only finalized today, actually wont be ready for Comic Con Bad News: No new Elite reveals this year I guess.. Thanks to whoever hunted down posted this. make a KoKo B Ware... And a Repo man and all is forgiven

There has to be some kind of elite reveals — RSC Exclusive at least right? If theres no elite reveals this year that we haven't seen yet that'd be extremely disappointing on their part. So far we only seen DM Cena and E44 right? Wheres the Elite Legends line Jericho? E45? RSC Exclusive?

Yall think Mattel will resign again with WWE once their second deal is up? For me, I hope so. At the end of the day I don't think anyone can compete with Mattel overall.

If it's still profitable for both companies, I'm sure they'll resign. I certainly hope so - we/the board may crap on certain figures or scans, but by and large Mattel are making the best wrestling figures EVER.

I think so, considering the library of parts they have makes it easy to release new figures consistently. I think the only thing that would kill it would be if the shows stank and the public was even less interested in wrestling then they are now. I imagine Cena will retire soon as he's nearing 40, and that might hurt WWE, but knowing him, he'll probably keep wrestling until he's 102.

How is Mattel even going to have a wwe display without any new elites? Just show us E43 and 44 then call it a day? I hope bill is just jerking us because this would be the worst comic con yet for the wwe line if there's nothing new to show. It's one of my favorite parts of the summer I look forward to.

Okay so I'll just give my thoughts on 4 figures now.
Big E: I love the headscan, looks like it has great deco, only comes with the robe and that's fine I don't want an extra set of tag titles anyway, I love the color blue so I'm glad we got these elites in that color great way to round out this stable.
Braun Strowman: Headscan is great, it's stern but that's all you need from Braun. I love how the pants are more red than brown cause let's be honest crap brown with the pee stain doesn't really appeal to anyone. Will get if I see it.
Randy Savage: I'll say what everybody else said; WHY WASN'T THIS THE DM?, I mean it's perfect enough to justify to spend 25 dollars, but I digress. It's a must buy, so I guess you have to buy Warrior so it doesn't look silly by its self, but I love the deco, the knee pad is nice you rarely see those knee pads anymore;the hat, glasses, and shirt are great, the headscan is fine typical machine headscan great figure.
Thugboat: And yes I did mean Thugboat cause this figure is gangsta. The Where's Wally shirt is great, the hat looks nice but it looks sculpted on, which might be a problem for non MOC collectors, I like it enough that I might get it looks good. I see a Natural Disasters two pack coming soon.
Looks good overall can't wait to see Sin Cara and Sashas new head scan.
This might look like the best wave of 2016.

Bill always responds like a disappointed father that caught you sneaking a look at the xmas presents before he wrapped them. Trying to make the poor kid feel guilty for finding pics on the interwebs and sharing them lol I don't feel bad about this at all! (And hey, I ain't no kid, I'm 42! Just a very young, immature 42!) I read on the Fwoosh website that some had seen pics. So I came here to see them, and they weren't here. So I tracked them down and posted them, because I knew everybody here wanted to see them. Is there anybody here who wishes they could have waited two more weeks to see these? Other than Bill?

Let me clarify a bit as I think I may not have been as clear as I could have been: There will be other figures shown at ComicCon that are Elite, but are not in the Main Elite line (retailer exclusives). What I was hoping to debut from the Elite line has now leaked online, so of course it does throw a wrench into the plans as I do not have a new main Elite line to show, unless first samples on the next waves arrive before the show, which is not guaranteed. If I get samples that I think are good enough to show I will bring. If I get ones that I do not think are good enough to show I will not show them. Hope this clarifies things for everyone.

That sounds good, I thought there were no more elites for the year.

All your griping about Sasha Banks and now we get no new elite info, thanks guys! Can't tell if this was legit or tongue in cheek Please pick tongue in cheek. Although, what if Bill thinks it's funny to anger their collector base. Kind of poking at us cause it's easy to get us up in a huff. Either way, I'm legit bummed about not getting any new previews.

I gotta say, I'm stoked to see Tugboat comin' down the line! And what's more, Mattel's gone and done it again, as he's got a different head than his Shockmaster counterpart. Mattel has easily produced more body types and styles than Jakks managed, and for that, they're leading the pack in that respect. Still, I wish they'd have leaned in a little more when it came to giving both Tugboat and Earthquake some beefiness! Tugboat the wrestler had a figure more akin to a T-bone steak walkin' around, and of course Earthquake wasn't called that for being any kind of lightweight. Their bulk will look good together, and easily puts them on a solid footing for competition in the Mattel ring, but a little more bulk really isn't a bad thing on big guys like this. Heck, look at Mark Henry, the figure is built like a brick wall, much like the man himself. You don't see that body type being used for anybody else. I would have liked to see that with the Natural Disasters, too. But I digress, it's a home run in Mattel's own unique fashion of these figures.
