I've seen the new releases and I personally haven't seen anything that wows me (except the Elite Alexa Bliss). Some of the figures that are going to be released in the future haven't been that interesting to me, Elite or Defining Moments.
I thought the Ken Shamrock would be released in blue as an Elite (bummed out). The latest Braun figure isn't good looking to me. The next one looks really good but I have to wait for it to be released in a few series (more bummed). New Day wasnt released in a pink and blue attire. {Hoping in the future they get released in elite with their green Popsicle attire} Defining Moments Series seems to be going down hill with the expectations and accessories. (Really bummed) I'm here waiting to go on Ringside and buy some awesome figures, and yet I haven't been excited about any of the new figures. (These are only my opinions and its not me complaining about Mattel or Bill)
What you think of the recent figures?
What are the next waves of Elite that will be released? (Maybe some hope in the future)

It's been lately hit or miss there's some can be great but Mattel likes to screw it up somehow Aj in e51 with the eyebrows or brauns weird pants camo thing it just look weird. Or the shamrock smirk Luke why did he have to have it when on the box he just had his mouth closed looking like a legit bada## but no just the smirk. Or dlo face scan looks like he just went to a funeral and is sad the one time they make a facial expressions smile for some reason for dlo they didn't. Or that weird brown thing in mankind e51 that's why I'm not picking him up cause of that.My point being LITLE THINGS MAKE A BIG DIFFIRENCE also not releasing obvious money makers or releasing same attires and not change the colors like warriors can easily change colors to ones he wore to make a figure better instead of the same ones they already made.

I'm disappointed in a $100 Goldberg head on a triple h body with a suck ass wrestling ring.

I'm disappointed in the lack of Johnny Wrestling figures. I mean, 1 is alright. But I want 15.

Im excited for any and all seth rollins, demon balor, sasha banks, alexa bliss, bayley.
I dont get how anyone thought the first shamrock would be blue. I only picture him in red.

I too was bummed about Shamrock not being in Blue. Though I'm still getting it because I'm a fan of the guy.
Elite 53 looks to be an alright set, getting Owens and Slater but after that I don't think I'll be buying as much looking at the "leaked list"
Which is alright with me since I'll save money and can focus on other things for the time being.

Love the fact that we're getting shamrock and d'lo. Really liked being able to pick up Summerslam mankind, warlord, Wolfpack hall and berserker recently. Can't say I'm dissapointed but not a lot on horizon I'm chasing either. Virgil, angle and hardy boys seems to be it.

I agree as well, this year I've downgraded my collection massively because I don't find myself as passionate any more. I think part of it comes from the lack of figure news etc, but it's mainly now due to me having prioties and wanting to focus on a WCW roster with a few select modern guys I like. It sucks when you look forward to figures Mattel has the rights to, but are nowhere near lineups or have anything that interests you. This year is a letdown and I'm looking forward for one or two figures tops.

Well i've slowed a lot this year. Mostly because I don't buy many current guys and Mattel has made most of the guys i've wanted in prior eras. So really, I get to be more selective with my purchases. Angle will be instant buy but in reality if I quit today, I would be satisfied with what I have. Oh and yeah, we still need that Hollywood Hogan!

Shamrock and DLo are currently my only real wants and needs.
I watched Mankind Vs Shamrock for the Hardcore Title last night funnily enough, and was thinking wow the Elite would have been amazing in blue attire!
Still glad to get a Shamrock though and DLo looks perfect!

I'm feeling the same. I was a completist up to E38 or 39, but lately, I'm hardly buying anything. After E47.5, the only elites I've bought were Beefcake, Hall, Andre, and YMtL Jericho. I had a boatload of elites in my Amazon cart on Prime Day, all of them were about $7.50 each, but ended up deleting them before checkout.

Yup. Sdcc was not good
The only things coming that I want now are Virgil, hof5 Piper, and mean gene. I don't even know when any of those will be released so I can't even be excited about it. It's never been like this for me since I started collecting. I've always picked something up from every elite set but now I'll be completely skipping every rumored set thru elite 60 (8 sets in a row).
I loved some of the recent product. Goldust, Harlem heat, beefcake, Scott hall, and D'Lo were all high on my want list and I was very excited as I waited.
I'm happy about the entrance greats line returning...I feel like there would be much more excitement about that if flashback collectors didn't already feel like they've been punched once or twice in the face.

A lot of these bad scans aren't really that bad, it's just that Mattel has no idea how to paint human eyebrows. Realistic facial hair/shading is also a major problem.
Bad/lazy paint apps is killing the realism of scans that could be great. Look at how people on the customs thread make them look awesome with just a little bit of logical painting.
But Mattel is like, let's just paint Goldberg's lips gray bc we're too lazy to go around them.

Lack of flashbacks in upcoming waves has me worried, lack of newer HOF waves has me worried they are a goner and replaced by NXT. Attire choices never really bothered me. I'd prefer blue Shamrock but he wore red more anyways.

Ive been pretty bored lately as well with not much from 88-94 to collect. Ive had brutus and warlord for a while, im happy we got those guys but it was kind of disapointing only seeing virgil as a new character to look forward to from that era.
Worse yet that hof has been at a stand still and tnf only had liz in a green dress.
Im hoping they pick back up with flashbacks soon and get us some more early 90s flashbacks

There isn't anything out there now, or coming up in the next few month, that has me excited. Alexa is the only figure I plan on getting at the moment. Well her and the series 2 Retros, but who know when I'll see those?
I'll be happy when some of the renders we saw at SDCC get released. Maryse, Ellsworth, Elias, Mean Gene and a couple others should be good.

I am still holding out hope that an all flashback line will be revealed at RSF. I know its's very unlikely but I gotta hope for something. I have given up on HOF5. We don't even know if Piper was gonna come with a white or black shirt. They could've easily showed us at comic con but didn't? Bill said HOF will continue but yeah..??

Yeah I am barely buying anything these days. This past SDCC was very underwhelming as are the leaked lineups. RSF will really set the stage going forward, hopefully they've got some good stuff to show.
