had a Ringside order waiting for me at my girlfriends house, finally got to open them up and take some pictures! Elite 71 Big Showfound this at Target last week, luckily got it for like $15 with that Target coupon code, I wasn't exactly breaking down the door for a '99 Big Show but it's pretty solid. Ringside HaulNXT Exclusive AndradeFINALLY. The torso is very loose, I think I read others talk about this so I'm not the only one, very happy to finally have an Andrade elite. Basic 102 Drake MaverickThis is the first basic in a LONG time that I don't have an issue moving the limbs straight out of the package, that was refreshing. I hate that this is SO outdated, but it's cool to have a Maverick, I'm thinking about putting the head on the suited more current Ric Flair or the GM Kurt Angle, for more of a 205 Live GM look, we'll see. Woken Matt HardyReally love the jacket, I think the scan is okay, I like the previous Matt's a little more. Mick FoleyI can't say anything that hasn't been said already about this scan, just wow. Kofi KingstonI was at Mania this year so this is pretty cool to have, I don't like the scan at all, but the attire is great. Booker T.The best figure of the set for me by far, really love the extra hands they included for this one, reminds me of the old TTL Booker. The Hart Foundation helps to build Dangerous Danny Davis!Dangerous Danny DavisHard to believe it took 10 years for Mattel to get an official referee out. just placed an order on Ringside for Elite 72 and Matt Riddle, so will update when I get those next week!

Every Danny Davis head I've seen seems to have the same mark on the chin...Does anyone know why?

just got my Ringside order, missed out on the first round of Elite 72 but was able to get them on the back order, really awesome set. Basic 103 Matt RiddleRiddle is listed as 6'2, this figure is a hair shorter than Kane who is billed at 7'0... I don't like that at all. Nakamura & Dream are also listed as 6'2, and in the picture you can see Dream is slightly taller (prob the hair) and Nakamura a little smaller, and although technically those 3 are decently in scale with each other, I've always felt those other 2 were way too tall also. Hope it gets fixed for his elite release whenever that is. The scan is pretty solid I think. Elite 72 Buddy MurphyLove the unique design for his shorts, I think the scan is okay I just really don't like the way the hair came out. I like the red gear better than the black so I'm glad this wasn't the chase. Velveteen DreamAgain too tall like Elite 67, the discussion about the attire choice has been talked about already, I get what they were going for, but when someone has amazing gear choices, and you go with something like this, that's just silly. Rey MysterioAt least the mask is finally updated, the open hands are comically oversized. I think the previous elite was a cooler attire, I really wish that new Rey in the suspenders in that Wrecked (??) line or whatever it's called was turned into an elite. BatistaI would not have put this at my top list of wants or even close, but it actually is a pretty cool figure. Way more tattoos than his previous figure, scan is alright. Becky LynchAlternate hands for the females is a game changer if you ask me. Any time a female figure comes with the 'slap' hand and a closed fist, I die inside. Or when Bayley comes with 2 SLAP hands, forget it. This is long overdue. The Man figure itself is LONG overdue, I didn't care for the scan at first, but in hand I like it a little more. The jacket is nice, I hope her ultimate figure gets the Ronda jacket ultimate treatment, that would be pretty cool. Roderick StrongFINALLY. I would have loved to have that NXT Takeover Elite Roddy that got cancelled, but this is awesome. For me it is the figure of the set because it completes Undisputed Era and it looks awesome, and I've been a Roddy fan for a long time. Scan is great, attire is great, really hope Fish and O'Reilly in the camo isn't far behind.
was lucky enough to order Survivor Series Elite Don Muraco and Alicia Fox before on Walmarts website, so I should have those by next week, glad I don't have to hunt those down!

I love that Becky Lynch. And Matt Riddle is pretty stellar for a basic, despite the height discrepancy. The basic line has picked up quite a bit recently, the slump of the past 2 years seems to be behind us now.

I just realised that maybe Mattel gave us this head scan for us to make a custom Balls Mahoney

it has been a while since I updated this thread, I am just about 100% all caught up on WWE figures, got a few of these figures for X-Mas from my family, but most of them were X-Mas gifts to myself throughout the month of December lol. WWE Survivor Series Don MuracoMuraco is before my time, but I collect at least 1 of everyone, so I had to have him, thankfully it was super easy this time around with Walmart.com. I think the figure could be a little tanner, that would be my one gripe. WWE Survivor Series Alicia FoxI can't believe how unique the hat is, it seems so unnecessary, but nonetheless makes the figure really stand out. Series 100 UndertakerI loved the new scan for this one, already popped it off and put it on one of the older Undertaker elites with similar gear. Best part was somehow this figure was like $3.99 on Amazon when I grabbed it, crazy. Series 102 Baron CorbinI resisted this figure for as long as I could thinking Mattel would show off a new elite Corbin at Ringside Fest, when that didn't happen, I knew I had to get this as a placeholder. Thankfully I was able to remove most of the insane amount of hair they gave him. Underneath that wig, is a really great scan. Elite 72 Gorilla MonsoonMy girlfriend came through big time one day and found this for me, absolutely essential part of my Golden Era shelf, really love it. WILL YOU STOP!WWE SH FiguartsConsidering Ringside was essentially giving these away, I bit. $3.99 for Hunter is insane, I don't care for the bodies at all but the articulation is obviously nuts, I really only wanted the Austin for the beer cans and the ability to give the middle finger (maturity ), but I grabbed all 3 instead. Couldn't cave on Taker & Kane due to the figure design and price. X-Mas gifts from my familyMilk-O-ManiaMuch like the $3.99 HHH Figuarts, this was hard to pass at $9.99, I am keeping it MOC for now. WWE Retrofest Iron SheikI have the first 2 Elite Sheiks, so I kept passing on this, the Persian Clubs really were the selling point for me. WrestleMania Basic Becky LynchI was at Mania 35 so I figured I needed this for my display, hopefully it gets an elite treatment one day, or maybe the teased Ultimate Becky. Storm Collectibles Hulk HoganI was more than happy with my Defining Moments Hulk, especially since I wasn't that big of a fan of the first Hollywood from Storm thanks to that weird crotch piece, but once I saw more pictures of this, I figured I needed it. Really great looking Hogan, and I think it blows the DM out of the water now that I have both. Storm Collectibles Jyushin Thunder LigerThis has always been a dream figure for me, Liger has one of the coolest looks ever and hoped one day Jakks or Mattel would have been able to somehow get to make him. Thankfully those prayers have been answered by Storm, the figure looks awesome. I wish it wasn't as thick because it's basically the same as Hogan which is just crazy, but overall it's great. Christmas Gifts to myself, Elite 73/74 & Series 104!Series 104 Alexa BlissAs a big Bliss fan, I get the look they were going for with this scan, BUT it missed the mark big time lol. Series 104 Keith LeeHow lucky did Mattel get with the timing of this release? Pretty great figure, I'm anxious to see his eventual elite, I may get the black gear chase figure if I find it at retail, didn't realize how different it was from this. Elite 73 Daniel BryanLove the scan, love the eco-title, only fitting that he shaves his head and looks completely different as soon as it hits shelves! Triple Hthe most useless figure of the set for me since I am perfectly fine with his last bald elite, but whatever. Aleister BlackHard to believe it's better than the first elite Black, but somehow it is. Updated tattoos, awesome jacket, really great looking figure. EliasI was content with the previous Elias, until I got this one in hand, really great. Gran MetalikI wish the black gear was the regular and this was the chase, the color scheme reminds me a little too much of Sin Cara's first elite, hopefully I can grab the chase at retail. Kairi SaneHas to be a top 3 figure of the year for me. I can't say enough great things about it. The innovation with the jacket arm is hopefully something we can see moving forward for others. Getting her arm in and out of that piece is a bit of a pain, but I love this figure. Elite 74 GoldbergAh, that epic 2003-2004 Goldberg WWE run in figure form, finally. Really like the scan, probably the best of the Goldbergs so far, I have to imagine this is the last Goldberg I will need. NatalyaThe scan is amazing, the gear is great, love the cat ears. Best Nattie by far. Finn BalorI think the cloth jacket really adds to this figure, being able to do a lot of his signature poses while in the jacket is a huge plus. Lince DoradoGreat figure, love the Penelope accessory, this and Metalik actually got my excited to get an updated Kalisto, which by itself I probably would not have cared about. AJ StylesI collect every AJ elite, but I am getting a little tired of them to be honest, wish they'd pump the breaks for a while. AndradeThey need to work on the body for future Andrade's, this torso is awful, thankfully the jacket covers it up. I like the La Sombra mask you can put on his head and the one you can hold, very cool. other X-Mas gifts

Awesome pics as always. I want to find another Gorilla to display one in black. That's the first pic I've seen of him with the black jacket on. I also have to pick up that Elias he looks great in your pics.

So Liger almost has the same body as Hulk? thats disappointing. I also saw that the new Nattie was really short.

Your "receiving/pick-up pics" have often been "make or break" in my decisions on making a purchase on a figure or not, so this this thread is much appreciated. I also love to see the comparisons. I'm absolutely dying to get the new Aleister Black. They had him at a local flea market today for $55, but it was definitely too pricey. Retail sucks around here for me, so I'm waiting for a decent online price. Again, love the comparison with the first Black.
Kairi Sane looks great too, so I might have to pull the trigger.
And I've been curious if Liger's "cape" was removable. Thanks a ton for clarifying.

This is one of my most favourite threads on WF and you don’t disappoint. Colour me jelly with your Liger pics! Mine has been on the other side of the city at Canada Post since e 23rd with no clear update on when it will be out for delivery . I probably won’t get him until 2020, so I’ll reload your pics over and over!

Wow that Corbin figure looks great. How did you get the hair removed? I’ve never attempted anything like that before. I’m afraid I’d F it up
