Enjoying all the figures shown at Ringside Fest but there was no mention or showing of any Defining Moments figures (a lot of store exclusives). I would have thought they would show a proto of a future figure (I was really hoping for that Goldberg figure that people on this forum mentioned could be a Defining Moment)
So is Defining Moments dead?

Seems like it. I am not bothered by it that much because some of the ones they did like the last Cena and Warrior we're not worth the 25 dollar price tag and most of them have just normal elite accessories anyway.

Ultimate Maniacs warrior was awful along with Word Life John Cena. Ric Flair was good just needed a better torso. Shinsuke was amazing. Macho Man is amazing just needs the Ic title. Y2J is good but not great. I think that Defning moments is getting better but it’s now going to be overshadowed by EG and Epic Moments IMO

I asked bill yesterday he said it was going away for a little to make way for entrance greats but it’s not dead. Said things will come and go just like dms were resurrected before.

It's crazy how much the hype for this line died down after Mattel put out 2 re-releases, an extremely botched Surfer Sting, Ultimate Maniacs Warrior and John Cena. They started off so strong with Flair, Hogan, Razor and Sting. The Undertaker was a last minute replacement and is one of their best figures, so I don't blame them for that one or even the Austin that came after it since it's a really cool release with all the belts. But the Surfer Sting was a major disappointment after the long wait. Getting Ultimate Maniacs Warrior and word life Cena after this completely killed the hype. Putting out another Flair instead of an exciting release was also questionable although the robe and head sculpt were really nice. Nakamura, Mach and Jericho have all been fantastic so it's sad to see them taking a break on the line but I hopefully they'll be back eventually like Bill claimed.

I haven't felt much need for half of them at the pricepoint. Unfortunately, I don't feel the price is justified on that super barebones Kurt Angle just because he has a stand that plays music and a huge box I'll throw away. $10 extra is steep. Just don't expect this line to last long either. The only good thing about $30 is that it'll make getting Jeff Hardys easy.

It would have been terrible if I bought him at normal retail lol. |

DM really needed to be the outlet for robes or tons of accessories.

As was said earlier, the DM line was stopped once before, having run from 2010-2012. Then it came back with Flair in late 2014.

Entrance greats isn't gonna do any better at $30 ...especially if (going by the Angle and Jeff figures) they have hardly any accessories... Personally, I would have preferred the continuation of the DM line... are people really that interested/bothered by a musical base that they'll pay $30 for figures that actually have fewer accessories than a standard Elite? Not to mention, the DM packaging was awesome... |

I wasn’t thrilled with the line having non SG accessories or the figure(s) not being really worth the extra $5 when it didn’t include what felt like a good accessory.

Angle obviously, but who else really needs a stand with only half a minute of their theme? |
