The Sting and Warrior are probably my favorite version of either wrestler released to date. Just two awesome looking figures. I'm loving all the NXT figures and can't wait to grab those as well. No signs of an Elite Flair is a little disappointing. The last release we had was the DM that came in early 2017, and he's one of the most popular wrestlers ever.

I'm surprised by the lack of discussion about the two AJ Styles elites. The red white and blue one was exactly what I wanted. Aj Styles figures could be a lot better... For example, Sin Cara torso, less body hair, cloth jacket and knee pads...

So I slept on the idea of the HHH figure, and I see what mattel’s intentions were. Its a foder figure. DX cloth shirts for the whole crew and a leather jacket for us Bret fans and customizers. I’m classifying that one as a retainer for future funding. Then again, for me personally, thats how I remember HHH in the 2000’s. The only 2 things I would change are swapping the head with the Flashback HHH from Elite series ?? In silver/black and adding the TNF Savage cap.
Writting this, I also realize I’ll need a 4th Undisputed Era shirt for Roddy, hopefully Mattel adds that to Roddy and a rubber arm band.
I’m pretty happy about yesterday. I let the wow factors and nostalga die down over night, and yet the hype is still there. The RSC exclusive Matt Hardy brings back ECW Threadhead memories, King Mabel is phenominal and I’m already counting down the days to see a Big Vis from The Ministry. But the biggest win goes to NXT. We went from having a small current roster, to damn near every major player in elite form no less. The next calender year is stacked, and I hope I can snag everyone shown.
But ny biggest question/concern is, and my gut feels I’m right, I think there is more to the Entrance Great Goldberg. I don’t know why, but I think by sunday we will see his second accessorie being the WCW US Title. Not that it changes things for me, cause its an instant purchase, but again, for me, my fondest Goldberg entrance memory is him coming out through the sparks and snoke holding bith the WCW US and World titles. Its not only a class A candidate for an Entrance Great, but a Defining Moment for Goldberg and the industry.
I’m happy to see so many people giving Mattel and Bill their dues. Their showing at SDCC was tremendous, and it seems every year is their best, until the next. Much like NXT and fine wine, they age well. Here is to 3 more days of wonder and excitement fam!

Huge kudos to screech for posting everything together with info on releases. Excellent post. Does anyone know when the basic Kurt Angle attire was based on? Looks like it’s supposed to be WMXX but it’s not 100% accurate. That or similar attire that he may have worn around that timeframe.

It's great to see the interchangeable hands for the male figures, but the women need a new hand as well. Actually, Mattel really just needs to retire the slap hand for basics not named Stephanie McMahon. Of all the figures to put the slap hand, Rousey and Asuka are baffling choices. Hope they change from their renders.

Hope it changes from the render. I agree with that. I also hate double open hands onbthe male wrestlers. I always likedbthe combo of closed fist/microphone opened fist.

That's a good point on HHH. I thought about the cap when I first saw the figure, but I remember that head being a bit on the large side so size could be an issue. And the leather jacket could definitely get some mileage - Bret, Balor, Piper, early HBK. I think my bigger concern is that 3 of the 4 Best of Attitude Era figures have been in street gear. Austin is already discounted and the figure is only a few weeks old. $20 for a street gear figure is a tough sell, even with great accessories. I just wish Mattel would open lines with stronger figures. The figure selection at the beginning of a new line doesn't seem to be set up for success.

Is that the outfit Triple H wore on that fateful night he revealed to the world that he drugged and married Stephanie McMahon against her will? If so I'm curious as to what they're gonna put on the back of that box!
It's a good figure though, will be buying, I wonder if the DX shirt is sleeveless
