I am the biggest apologist for this line around here, probably, but that Goldberg absolutely sucks. He's not even wearing gloves. I know everyone has said it, but I'll say it too, anyway. Goldberg looks terrible. |

Goldberg could have been the first figure to have the perfect/hulka plex move! I think that would have suited him perfectly. All four of these are an easy pass for me. I am hoping that the other two (surely there is going to be six right?) will be classic guys. I was hoping for 2 classics as well but apparently these are Series 3, at least according to the outlet that released the pictures. |

dude I think AJ and Rollins are spot on. Rollins is the right guy to do a jumper with. You can do an alt attire and different mold later if wanted... Dean is fine I would have done the jake the snake punch body... but MAN even I can't defend that Goldberg. Wrong, wrong choice!!!

I was completely on board and excited about these since they were announced. But I’ve soured on that tremendously since. The first series was okay, but I was happy to get them. Then the way they were released was extremely weird. I had the whole series, only to see (and buy) Taker ONCE. Now I haven’t even seen series 2 in person in my area at all. Yet the pegs are still filled with Cenas and Brock’s from the first series. These were hard to find at first and then they were EVERYWHERE. Not the whole series though, just Cenas and Brock’s. There’s even one Walmart near me with all Warriors. Like 25 of them. Now with series 3 they only have four figures in the series, the insistence on doing characters that lack any kind of color, and on top of that Goldberg is TERRIBLE. As much as it sucks to say, I might be done with this series completely. Out of series 3 the only one I REALLY want is AJ. Very well said. |

Besides Goldberg, I think they look pretty good.

TBH the line isn't capturing me in good thought. No accessories again and no connection to when I was collecting years ago as a kid. Surely throwing in a classic Savage or Flair would light up the line.
Yes Goldberg is awful too but are they doing that to bury WCW as they take any opportunity to do that. But will buy but slowly thinking is it right to buy.

My biggest concern is why are we the "customers" receiving information and updates regarding this line from third parties and not directly from Mattel? Mattel is losing a lot of interest from people who fell in love with this nostalgic feeling when this line was first introduced. I have this bad feeling that these might actually be customs because Mattel hasn't acknowledged any of these yet. The last time we heard an update from Mattel was the rumored series 3 lineup which supposedly isn't series 3 now.

Are y'all sure those aren't just customs? They certainly look like customs! I've only seen one outlet release these pictures so far so maybe they are... but I doubt it. Lets hope they are customs, lol But im almost 100% sure they are real |

I think they all look good with the exception of Goldberg.
AJ might be the best looking figure in the entire line thus far. Rollins looks great and is a guy for whom the jumping action makes sense. Dean has a weird action, but still looks really good. Goldberg, obviously, is a disgrace for the many reasons listed above.
They do need to be way more thoughtful about the actions they're using. Only big guys should have the press slam and the jumper should be very sparingly used. They also need to introduce the few missing actions already, including the Perfect suplex and the Martel double fist. Both of those actions were great for mid sized guys and could've helped this set tremendously.

I didn't think they could mess these up seeing how great the first 2 sets were. AJ is good, Seth & Dean just look odd for some reason. I would have preferred Dean with the black shirt. Goldberg is a train wreck. I was kind of mad he was even in the set & then he has a grey beard with black tights & no tattoo? There are so many other superstars far more deserving then Goldberg.

Ambrose and AJ look good, but... that Goldberg(!). Why ON EARTH isn't it classic/WCW Goldberg?

Extremely dissapointed in these. I don't think I'll be collecting anymore. I'll only being picking up figures that would go with the Hasbro Era timeline.
Had so much hope for this line to grow but im all set at this point.

I don't mind the attires, this isn't an elite line, so they shouldn't be expected to go crazy.
I like the body choice for AJ, and I'm ok with Rollins. The jumper style fits him, but 2 jumpers? And one being Goldberg? Not a good choice. I'd prefer less jumpers than more

But will buy but slowly thinking is it right to buy. Yeah, hopefully Mattel remembers that we did get accessories with the Hasbro figures from time to time. Papa Shango's necklace, Razor's gold, Bossman's nightstick, Mountie's shock stick, Frankie for Koko, Macho King's crown and scepter, masks for Demolition, Hacksaw's 2x 4, Damien for Jake and of course the awesome Million Dollar Belt for Million Dollar Man....heck, we even got hats for the second release of The Bushwhackers and a cloth cloak for The Berserker.....granted, most of the characters chosen so far aren't really known for any trademark accessories but it would have been a nice bonus to get an urn with The Undertaker. |

AJ looks the best, Seth isn't too bad, is Dean wearing a toupee ? and Popeye ?
Still pre-ordered all and will buy any that Mattel releases, just too cool not to collect.
