Every figure in this set's a winner, but Batista takes the cake to fill a gaping hole in my RA collection. Taker is another must, that head is perfect. Eddie and Rikishi I might pick up at some point but I'm happy with their original releases

I'm a big fan of this series. All of the figures look great and the box art is fantastic. I hope they don't ruin this one with bad distribution and questionable lineup choices in the future like those awful HOC Battle Packs.

Dream (Never going to happen) Lineup: That would be a great set, the Mountie and Jesse Ventura would be an instant pick up for me. I'd probably get Raven and Jarrett too - even though I am not a Jarrett fan, I would probably get him just for that belt. That is one of my favorite belt designs. Can't believe we have not received a figure with that belt yet; Rick Rude, Steve Austin, Goldberg would all be great choices to go with that title as well. Why, again can't we get a Mountie figure? It’s been Stated the Royal Canadian mounted police would threaten legal action against wwe but when it’s always brought up that jakks made one its never explained further

Love the packaging - and the fact that it *kind of* matches the HOF series. Love that each figure comes with a classic belt. Hate the fact these are US exclusives...

What irritates me is that the packaging not only depicts The WCW cruiserweight title on the image but also calls is the WCW Cruiserweight Title. It irritates me that he never held the Crusierwight title when he wore that. He was the US Heavyweight Champion which he lost at Uncensored 1997.

Sucks that Eddie has the wrong title. Hopefully Bill can get Mattel to correct that in the future.

All 4 are instant buys for me
Also that is some of the best and coolest looking packaging that I have seen . Might buy a set to keep in the package too
Great job on these Mattel / Bill

I expect an elite in the near future to have 3 WCW Cruiserweight belts to make up for all the times we got the WWE one. Don't disappoint me Bill or I'll complain on an online forum

Doesn't the belt licensing for some of the old WCW belts belong to the designers or something? I know I'm not 100% right, but there's some deal where Mattel can't just make whatever belts they want due to something like that.

I know I'm not 100% right, but there's some deal where Mattel can't just make whatever belts they want due to something like that. WWE doesn't own the licensing rights to the WCW belts. That's why the version of the Big Gold Belt that has been made has the WWE logo - they had the belt remade and have the rights for that belt. Presumably WWE worked out something with the maker for the WCW heavyweight belt that we saw over the summer, but WCW belts were made by a number of belt makers. So it's possible they have acquired or will acquire rights to additional belts, but it's far from a given.

Yeah but with the 91-93 WCW Heavyweight Belt getting made there’s hope for other WCW belts now.

These gotta be close to releasing, they're already in the system and on Target's website, albeit not for sale yet.
