As an MOC collector the arm change doesn’t really mean all that much to me, but clearly it matters for a large amount of collectors. MattelDesignTeam can you provide some clarification on this? Because it could hurt viability of the line going forward.

Can’t wait till they change the arms and y’all still drop $$$ on the line.

I thought the arms looked fine in the pictures from PJ's thread.

If indeed the arms change, I'm playing the devil's advocate but I won't be mad. I mean some poses will be harder to pull off sure but honestly I'm not going to literally throw my toys out of the pram over a change that has no change in articulation. I doubt they'll do it though

Elite arms are not changing to Basic articulation any time soon. A change in 2018 or 2019 will probably be an IMPROVEMENT if anything. If it is implemented. Can't say any more or I will get in trouble.
It was fun and humbling to come to London and meet UK collectors. I get the chance to interact with US collectors at various times in the year but this was a first to do so internationally. I will be there tomorrow as well if anyone is free to come down to Leicester Square. Thanks MDT

And the latest WFIGS crisis is averted.
Now back to our regularly scheduled rantings already in progress.

Yes Bill, we are many in UK who can't get the exclusives, it is money that Mattel looses and you "like to do money"...

Bill just tweeted about this topic:
"Elite articulation is not changing to match basic articulation. If we do change arms it will be to ADD, not change...if"

So, everyone can relax, lol.

Good to hear MattelDesignTeam My main concern is that paint apps on new figures arms look chipped, smudged or bleed past where they should.

If the basic arms come into the elite line, I'm going to be done with collecting. LOL your sig fits your statement perfectly.

I guess this is as good of a time as any to bring this up with HBK Texas attire being talked about. Does anyone have any idea what this attire is? Is it real? I've never seen it in action, and it looks AWESOME.

I’m glad I’m getting out of collecting Mattel. They just constantly wanna cut corners. Sorry guys but with figures like the dm Bret and the first dm macho. Ya can’t really go backwards. Those are the kinda figures I want. I legit dont trust the line and what they will do with it to keep collecting

I wish you'd asked him if we're ever getting getting a London Takeover, Balor.

Makes me think with him saying they're adding that Elites might get the elbow articulation as well as keeping the bicep.
