Best HBK figure Mattel has made? My figure of the year, for me, personally. The entrance gear is top-notch, but I think the WrestleMania XXX Elite HBK is a superior figure. Nothing tops the braided ponytail for me. Agreed. Nothing beats that face scan. I'm happy that we are getting the INY HBK but I I'd rather see a retooling if the WMXXX HBK scan with updated hair for this specific attire. |

Cool to see that only two of the NXT basic figures were revealed. Gives me hope we will get Billie and Peyton at the same time.

Man, that DX IYH HBK looks great MOC (acronym overload there...haha). I, too, wish the Xs had the blueish gradients, but considering everything else, that figure is a must have. I did a headswap of my E19 figure with the Network Spotlight HBK in blue-green, and after a colorwash adding yellow and light brown, I don't mind the E19 head that much. It just needs a little color other than solid brown and some stubble to make it look good. I'll be doing that with this one for sure.
Really like how the top entrance gear came out. It was a unique attire that still gets brought up to this day despite being used at that one show.

"How about we take a figure that we were initially supposed to release 7 years ago of a guy that we can make a more superior figure of currently and jack up the price by 50% because LOLz they will buy it?" -Mattel ...and they are correct. To be fair it cancels out all those stolen originals selling on other markets over the years. And the figure itself was high in demand. |

Im gonna spend so much damn money next year... I hate to be that guy but out of all people Roode shoulde have the leg sleeves and not little kneepads. And yeah the blue strap instead of purple is kind of annoying because we have it already with the appropriate look. Would be nice to give us purple and eventually correct the yellow winged eagle into a IC title. MattelDesignTeam will either WM23 Cena or Entrance Greats Jeff Hardy come with regular Spinner title? |

RSF was pretty cool was hoping to see a few more figures. Like the next TNF and Hall of Fame lines, but its cool. I do wonder is entrance greats replacing defining moments. We didn't see anything labeled defining moments. If it is I don't mind the entrance greats are looking and sounding good from what I see. Hopefully on the Q&A Bill tells use somethings about the new and current lines. Like when to aspect them and if any new series is replacing a old one. Also really digging the wweshop exclusive, at least we'll be able to find those sets with no problem.

Honestly this NXT line is starting to be one of my favorite series. Wish we could get 3 waves a a year instead of two. hopefully we also get Elite AOP with the new tag titles , that's what I really want. Not really big on those nxt roman and rusevs, I think they will warm unless short packed. I noticed when I brought my nxt figures at target a few weeks ago, there where a lot of seth rollins sitting there. |

Sorry one more post.
How excited are you guys for all these Hardy elites next year, 3 elite Jeffs and 2 Matts. Wasn't expecting the attitude era flashbacks of them so fast but So glad it happened. Wish we could get those flashback Dudleys.
Could you imagine a 6pack elite set with flashback hardy's, flashback dudleys, and flashback edge/Christian with TLC accessories. from the first TLC match. I would easily pay $100 or more for that set.

A great showing by Mattel - it just sucks that most of the things I want are (US) store-exclusives... hopefully Smyths will be getting a few. Did they show (or announce) any new Retro's? "How about we take a figure that we were initially supposed to release 7 years ago of a guy that we can make a more superior figure of currently and jack up the price by 50% because LOLz they will buy it?" -Mattel ...and they are correct. . And the figure itself was high in demand. ...not necessarily - the new EG Jeff looks to be noticeably different (face-paint, white belt, different arm-thingies), so there'll probably still be a market for the original/E1 Jeff too. I do like this EG Jeff, but I was kinda hoping for a special release (RSC exclusive?) of the exact E1 figure (in the original 2010 packaging would have been nice too!). |

MattelDesignTeam will either WM23 Cena or Entrance Greats Jeff Hardy come with regular Spinner title? Not Bill (obviously) but I think for Cena, adding a belt would go over the budget. When it comes to his regular Elites, we either get a belt and no shirt, or a shirt and no belt. And as for Jeff, I'm hoping and praying that we get a Spinner. Can't see what else he would come with. |

Liked what they showed for RSF, wish there were more cruiserweight figures.

The majority of JAKKS figures have superior facial likenesses. That’s not even close to being true. Mattel having better face sculpts is the biggest myth perpetuated on these boards. You’re living in the past, and not even an accurate one. Also...CM Punk is incredibly overrated. You realize you just agreed with him that JAKKS scans are better then Mattel right? |

I hate to be that guy since everyone seems so happy with everything shown but I'm not.
No neon surfer Sting elite? WCW Goldberg? WCW Jericho? Team Xtreme Hardyz?
Aside from none of the above being shown almost everything that I would buy I have a problem with.
-Elite 56 AJ is missing kneepads.
-Epic Moments Jeff has the the tank top torso painted black and looks awful.
-Rated R Lita is awesome but she comes in a 3 pack with two other figures I don't want and I'm not spending $60 for one figure.
-Ember Moon does not have bright yellow hair. It should be blonde.
-Billie Kay is cool but is ruined by that new terrible articulation.
-USA Warrior should have a purple strap title not blue.
-Syxx needed a new head. Instead he gets stuck with that bad X-Pac tongue out one and the facial hair is not correct.
-Dude Love is just a mess. His shirt is not tie-dye, he doesn't have the tie-dye mandible claw and his headband is not tie-dye either.
-DX HBK is missing the blue on the X's.
-Maryse being a Walgreen's exclusive I will probably never see her because they suck at stocking new product.
WCW Eddie Guerrero is the only one I like and have no complaints about.

you can get the reason of changing the arm design. They'd run out of figures to do in the line up. So now what do you know were gonna get all the same figures again this time with new arms. Clever Mattel very strude  Having saying that after my recent purchase of Corey Graves i'm still inbetween on the arm articulation change. I'm waiting till i get someone in Wrestling gear. But onto the show.. I love them all. My only small complaints. Why did we need a basic AJ from WM33  when the NWE was elite and tons better and Big Show . And Elite 56 is a full buy for me. But these exclusives to Walmart crap. Sure shafts UK. I want the NXT line but there gonna be a bitch to find over here. |
