Ringside Fest 2017 Thread: Recap & Finn Video!

Meh. The fact that they just keep releasing different versions of the same guys really smothers any excitement. The Shark? Come on.

I wouldn’t go that far. Besides the Hardyz, Angle, and SCSA, Batista, Ministry Taker, WM 23 Cena, Rikishi, Syxx, Eddy in white, Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry, Yokozuna, DX IYH HBK. 90s and early 00s have a pretty heavy presence.
Love that Syxx has the 6-ball NWO shirt.

Until I have Johnny Wrestling in my hands, may the modern day circlejerk continue.

EMBER

OMG I'm not going but just seeing the pictures best Ringside Fest ever! Hell this maybe the best reveal ever!!!!!!

I'll take it pic by pic
Elite 56 picture- I will not even care about the Joe head scan...The Club in Elite and that sick Roman head scan. Gallagher looks sick

Elite 55 picture- Everything we knew. Glad Bill said we are getting a Ellsworth with smaller legs.

WM Hardy- Matt's scan looks dead on. Love how we are going to get different size ladders with this pack.

Target NXT Exclusives- I love the flashback NXT Roman and Rusev. I know Roman is very basic looking but hell he was in NXT. I love that Rusev scan and they sold me on that Bobby Roode with the new NXT title. And that Ember Moon is dead on. And sneak in the back the Roderick Strong looks just as good as the rest. I think it is funny that maybe by this time next year there could be a chance of having an wrestling all star roster with WWE figures from ROH and TNA.

Target Exclusive/Sneak Peak- That Eddie figure is perfect. As for the rest of those exclusives I personally don't have an flashback Batista so I will be getting that, but as for the Rikishi and Taker, can't see clearly but I have both of them already I may pass. As for the Sneak Peak figures. Well we will finally have our 3 face of Foley. As I see that SC Mark Henry I can't help but think maybe another Nation 2-Pack with Godfather and Henry to complete the Nation group. When seeing that Bobby The Brain I did wish it would be him in wrestling gear.

WWE Monsters- I am 33 and not a collector of these type of sets, but I have stated and defended Mattel on this forum plenty of times that if I was a kid I would love to play and display these type of figures and they look great.

Battle Pack pictures- I am not a basic or battle pack collector but I love the MizCena/MaryseBella set. New Day figures look awesome. I was hoping that Revival attire was elites one day but they look great. I love the Sting paint damage from Mania

Basic 80/81 picture- I may have to buy another Elite 53 Jericho and that basic and do a head swap. That scan looks great. Given the heat Bill got with that Elite Rhyno, I'll just pass on saying anything about this Rhyno haha.

WM Elites/Entrance picture- I love seeing that Beefcake. And Orton is I guess because they wanted a current roster superstar. Maybe they will have a snake semen follow him on the package. I'm not sure if they are but if that Owens and Cena are Elites they will be must haves, but I feel like they will be basics. Love seeing the Entrance Angle. I can't wait to get it and am so happy they are making this entrance in elite form. And as for that HUGE A$$ Elephant in the room, I am sooooooooo happy I never bought a certain figure because NOW WE CAN FINALLY TAKE ABOUT ELITE 1 HARDY BEING RE-RELEASE BY MATTEL. Can't wait to have that figure, would be cool if they release it in the Elite 1 package too.

WWE Shop/Exclusive picture- Loving the Then/Now/Forever women's set. They all look great. I am so happy we are getting that WM Sasha. I wonder where the Maryse will be release but it looks like a great figure. I wish those were flashback Hardys, but I guess they are sort of Flashback just not from AE. The Virgil we have all seen and want. I love the TRU Shark figure, I love how two guys from the Hogan era of wrestling have all there gimmicks in figures form with Earthquake and Tugboat. That Austin looks great. I'm a huge SCSA mark and will get all his figures.
Now lets talk about what I think is the BEST figure shown. The RSC Exclusive DX HBK. Simple as I can put it. Will be getting 2 of those figures and one for my best friend who loves HBK. I hope they show a closer picture but from what I see I love it.

Walmart Exclusive- Finally we get that RR USA elite Warrior. Love that we will be able to get a Mean Gene, and will def get that Howard Finkel. I love that they will be giving us a 6-Pac. Unless it is a def head scan which I can't tell I already have Yoko so will pass on that.

Sorry for the long post. I want to share my thoughts on this year RS Fest, and hey don't wanna read it just scroll by it haha.

inb4 "budget ran out, couldn't paint the titles."

The one they showed, not the original (guess it's the same?)

When the red jacket and arms were shown in the render at SDCC, I didn't think much of it. Seeing displayed today I didn't know what it's purpose was. Can't believe it took me this long to realize it's to swap out parts for AWA Gene.

Trying to find clues to the whereabouts of DIY like
