I've never seen an Elite Seth (post-Shield) out at retail, so it really bothers me that Mattel decided to go with the one-off attire for this mass release and put the attire he's worn for a year in the exclusive TNF line that I'll never find. I would prefer the silver version instead of the gray version anyways, but it doesn't look like it's coming any time soon and I want him in his common attire more than the one-off. I think Seth sells well enough that they could have put this version of the figure in the actual SummerSlam elite set with the corresponding Balor from their match, and then put a silver version of the TNF fig in this Elite slot. Mattel probably felt the summerslam attire was more prestige because it was the first match to determine the universal champion. Therefore more people would want it? Like a "defining moment".

Oh trust me, I get why they wanted to release it. I wanted the figure badly myself and will certainly get it lol. I just wish they could have put it in the SS Elite set and left this spot open for the silver version of his attire he's been wearing for a year now because I have trouble finding the good store exclusives and that TNF Seth is going to fly off the shelves.

Hate the head, but the figure itself looks amazing, although I wish this and the TNF swapped series

They really need to come up with a new way to do his entrance gear....
Some kind of cloth would be amazing but we know they won't go that route.
Either way they need to come up with something because this has looked horrible since damn near day one.

They really need to get rid of that head. Kill it with fire. This and the TNF Rollins could have been amazing if they didn't use that atrocious face. agree. this face scan ia awful. the elite 52 is nice, but I will get the TNF and will swap the head. What you swapping it with?

Might be the first elite Rollins I pass on. He only wore the attire once and it doesn't look as iconic as white ranger attire.

Still wondering why Rollins doesn't come with Universal Title even tho he didn't win it... The red belt is probably more expensive to make than the black one. Plus they probably have a ton of them spare.

That headscan is growing on me but if I get a chance I'll probably still swap it out. I'm just not a fan of screaming headscans.
I'm confused though I thought Bill said this was coming with the Universal Championship?

They pulled the same thing off with the White Ranger Rollins. His Summerslam attire will be remembered for only one thing...injuring Finn Balor. He didn't win the match. He didn't hold the WWE title in that attire despite coming with the belt. The match wasn't even that good. It wasn't the main event. All that attire says to me is "hey remember that time I injured Finn Balor?"

For the people complaining about the head, I'm willing to bet it's the eyebrows. I'd like to see someone repaint them! Mattel just drops the ball on eyebrow paint apps more often than not

Don't get me wrong, I love the Summerslam fig and was hoping they'd make it, but I really want his actual common attire in Elite form more. I think Seth sells well enough that they could have put this version of the figure in the actual SummerSlam elite set with the corresponding Balor from their match, and then put a silver version of the TNF fig in this Elite slot. 100% agree

Mattel just drops the ball on eyebrow paint apps more often than not I hated it at first but don't mind it now, it still could be better. I just think screaming headscans are corny as crapin general though.
