All the crap people give me here for always banging on about serious headscans and being so picky about expression choices, this illustrates exactly why I do it:  Once again, just look at how beautiful and perfect this is. This is the serious/intense/focused look that truly captures the essence of the Macho Man I grew up with! Now we just need this same kindof expression on a DDP!! |

I really wish Bill would shed some light on why they decided to change the elbow mold. dude....the answer for anything when regarding action figures, is always money. for whatever reason...maybe creating these new elbows will save them money in the future. i don't see how, since they've spent 6 years building up a selection of arms....it would seem counter productive to just have to make tons of new molds. but they aren't going to invest all this money creating these new elbow molds....that look ugly...just to lose money or intentionally make figures look worse. |

Not really because alot of figures have tattoos or tape or gauntlets that wont be previously existing. Im just glad there appears to be elites still using the old style E45 D-Von Dudley and E45 Lex Luger both have the new style elbows Right, my bad. Elites I want to buy. Seth, Sami, Finn, and Kane appear to be fine... |

Re day two pics - more great figures. Pissed off they've reused L3 head and torso on pretty much E31 Rock legs. Intrigued to know what it's based on but I'll buy it nevertheless. Just hoping all this stuff we see in the UK along with the TNF Elites. Also love that Kane!

It'd give more incentive to others to buy! They miss out on so many opportunities with The Rock and the array of attires he's worn, especially extras like his jackets/shirts etc. |

also what's up with all the arm changes on Sting? The Starrcade has the roided arms, so does this one and the Wolfpac has the cm punk/Daniel Bryan arms... Sting was so out of shape at Starrcade 97 there's no way that figure should have had big arms. The best arms imo for '97-'99 Sting are the e30? Hawk arms, they're the same ones that Sheamus uses. They're not roided but they're not as small as the punk/Daniel Bryan arms sort of the in between medium. The DM crow proto had them. |

and a mesh tanktop w/ silver star on it and black weightbelt to go over shirt and smaller wristbands  You hit the nail on the head. Hopefully Mattel fixes this He will come with a chain, just no idea which one |
