Someone please help me out: Hasbro had what - 16 different variations for moves? I can forgive some of the lack of variety this stage in the game but I hope Mattel hears the customers loud and clear on this one. In defense of Mattel a little-when you look at what they done so far, we got: Reigns with the straight-arm punch Owens with the head but/power bomb Cena/Warrior with the new rocking torso/slingshot type toss Austin, Mankind, AJ with the modified clothesline (Which they actually did a creative modification on by making the shoulder articulated.) Kane, Undertaker, Brock, Dean and The Rock-*I think* with the press slam Sting, HHH, Rollins, Goldberg with the jumper action The fact that Series 1 has 3 types that Series 2 and 3 did not have is pretty questionable. |

I'm hoping Wal-Mart has lost exclusive rights. Series 2 is an embarrassment. I was one of the unlucky ones that was stuck buying each of those figures for $20 a pop.

They look a lot better here in the MOC images!! I am still not sure why Goldberg hasn't got his gloves on maybe its to make him look different than Seth Rollins and Aj Styles who are both wearing gloves to add a bit of variation to the series!

Still not sure about them but has anyone seen them go up on pre-order in the uk? Not seen them on the usual online sellers?

Much better backing cards! Very happy to see these. I think the figures look better than I first thought, now they've been seen on the cards. I also like the stands idea and hopefully that'll lead onto having other accessories included with future releases. The OCD in me wishes the first two Series had similar cards with different backing colours so that they displayed better together, but that's not taking anything away from the fact they've improved them and added more colour, which is what we've been after.
I'm not too sure on the app stuff and the advertising for Google Play etc, but I guess that's the times we live in and I'm maybe sounding a bit old here!
Ambrose's vest looks painted on with no mold to it, which looks a little cheap, mind. Still, very happy with the upgraded cards and really excited about getting these now and more in the new year.
Please make these easily obtainable for everyone, Mattel!

It bothers me that I’ll stands for these figures but not my others. Me, too. We collectors like order don't they know! I wonder if they'll have these here on out for every figure or whether it's just a one off and every Series will have something a little different? It wouldn't make sense to have stands for just a few figures out of an entire line, though. It's not like they're stand out characters, either. |

So the stands are imbedded on the cards? What's with the smartphone hashtag crap? Is that actually printed on or is it a sticker or something? Otherwise good to see some color added I guess. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the smartphone stuff, as I touched on earlier. I guess they want to get some more back from this line through the links to other stuff and Google Play/ App Store etc. I hioe that Red backing changes every Series or so, that'd look great when displaying them all. Maybe go for the original colours like green, yellow, purple, light blue and then an Orange, of course! |

Let's hope we get them before Christmas. Really hoping these hit the shelves before Christmas! I did ask Smyths a while ago and they're pretty sure they'll be carrying them in the near future. I'm gonna hang back on this Series to get them in store, bypassing the online stores. That way I get that old nostalgic feeling of seeing them on the shelves and saving myself a few quid in the process. |

They will be going up on the usual stores sites as they've said they're definitely carrying them. It's whether we want to pay the extra few pounds per figure or get them off the shelves a few weeks later. I've got a feeling the high street stores will be a bit more ahead of the game from now on. |

so, so much better. I'm quite relieved. Me, too! This line is back on track now and will hopefully get even better from here on in! Imagine some of the classic guys on these new cards! |

Love the color change on card and stands they have added! Loose collection might look a little different now since some have stands and some don't. Hope they continue to change the color on cards for future series. Yeah, the stands are cool. I really like my loose collections to flow so I wish they had these for the other two Series as well. It may be that we can get hold of some basic stands so they all look the same when displayed together. |

wish they would mix it up with current guys and legends like 1st 2 sets (not Oldberg). My thoughts exactly. The only positive I can take is that surely the next releases will be Legends. |
