I agree its a waste of EG spot, but heres hoping he will be packaged sitting on the stool with guitar in hand. Tho im wondering if he would actually have his entrance music with the stand since we rarely hear it. That's what I'm saying. I wouldn't recognize his song if it played right now. Just a huge swing and miss. I'm hoping instead of his theme it's him talking when you press the button. |

Any of the flashback collectors feel a little underwhelmed?
I'm talking about first-time-in-the-line people ... we got Dude Love (favorite), King Mabel (2nd favorite), Backlund (pretty cool), Sherri (ehh, ok) and Pat Patterson (not a figure I'm into at all).
Like some have said -- still none from the handful of flashback wrestlers we've been wanting and waiting on for years.

Like some have said -- still none from the handful of flashback wrestlers we've been wanting and waiting on for years. My reactions were pretty identical to yours. I like the singlet Hacksaw and I'm really excited for Goldberg. But I also had pretty low expectations for new characters. Unless Mattel is willing to start signing wrestlers to individual contracts or WWE suddenly starts signing guys that aren't on the "we owe you a favor" list, I don't think we're going to see any more than a slow trickle of new characters from here on out. I still love the product, but it is disappointing. |

Did they give a reason why? It seemed like the line was just taking off. So many possibilities. That sucks |

Like some have said -- still none from the handful of flashback wrestlers we've been wanting and waiting on for years. Yup. I am not interested in any of the flashbacks they announced. Great to see Backlund & Sherri FINALLY getting a figure, happy for those that want them but I won't be getting either one. I was excited about the rumoured Steamboat elite but nothing was announced so that still remains in the 'rumour' category. The announcements that I was itching to hear and would have made me ecstatic never materialized, namely Greg Valentine, Haku & Rick Martel as well as Hercules and British Bulldogs (which are probably both long shots). Another year gone and no sign of any figures of any of those guys- I am starting to doubt whether we will ever see any figs of any of them. |

The sound from the boxes was about as good as a 1980s tape recording that some fan captured during a house show. It's a cool concept, but I'd rather have physical/visual accessories for that price point. I say bring back the Defining Moments line or something new. |

Did they show any of B89? Wondering what attire Kurt is in. Sorta WMXX attire but not really. Yah, that's what I thought too. |

All around just a very "meh" SDCC for me. Not just from Mattel/WWE standpoint but also other brands. Mattel didnt show me anything I didnt expect/already know about except Pat Patterson. Mattel Multiverse has some Aquaman & TDK Joker figures but everything else is trending more towards the "comic" side. I didnt see anything from Funko I really wanted. Even the exclusives were very bland. Guess its a good time to save some money. Very much in agreement here. Very little in the way of "must-buy" for me here..... and I'm already worried about distribution issues anyhow, I feel like I'll never see most of this stuff in stores following the death of Toys R Us.... & distribution seems to be getting worse. Oh, and I didn't see any new Ric Flair items....... which is always a disappointment for me! |

Like some have said -- still none from the handful of flashback wrestlers we've been wanting and waiting on for years. I'm actually still pretty pumped. I wasn't expecting Patterson and I wanted confirmation on some of the more out there order sheet names (Mabel, Sherri, etc.) I'm just curious what lines most of them will be in. King Duggan we know is Retrofest, and Dusty was in one of the upcoming Elite series order sheets, but the rest are up in the air. Really just knowing Dude Love was on the way made SDCC for me. That and the NECA Michael Myers |

For Flashback collectors it wasn't bad but nothing spectacular and a lot of odd attire choices. I already gave my opinions here |

Yeah, no. It's lame. ENTRANCE greats. No entrance. Missing the mark. What the  even is his theme song, since THAT is the actual point of the line? Is it just gonna be a recording of jojo announcing him? It's stupid. They have said all the eg figures could have just been elite...But this...it literally is a marked up elite, AFTER the regular elite hits. Crazy, dumb, and bad timing. No, the only thing "stupid" is your behaviour. Elias has a theme song. It's not Mattel's fault that you're too lazy for a simple google search or to follow him since his time in NXT or watch the RAW episodes where he had an actual entrance. I thought the whole point of Entrance Greats was to release wrestlers who's entrances and entrance music was instantly recognizable?
If they are scrapping EG, then why not release Goldberg & Elias in a different line?
We ending up having to pay more for a sound stand with crappy quality and a laughably oversized box.
