SDCC '18 Mattel WWE Thread: Cathy Kelley & Loyal Subj Video!

nothing to announce at this time

It’s actually a brilliant idea. I can see it getting made. Did Curt and Zack have the same “tattoos” as Edge during that time? I wasn’t watching at all then but google images suggests they did. 

At times they just painted on the tats. I remember anytime they try to fake out wrestlers or refs that's what they did. So hell yea I would def buy that figure in the way Zack said it. Even as a MOC collector and I know with what I'm going to say wouldn't make it a truly MOC figure but I would buy three and swap heads and keep them in them in the box so I would have all 3 heads on the body.

*LIKES*
Sunil & Samir-- tho i wish they were elites. Scans look great. Shirts are good
the facescans-- especially the Adam Cole/Kyle O'Reilly/Bobby Fish 3pack. But just in general the scans across the board are a big improvement.
bob backlund-- Finally. tho they picked the wrong interchangeable hands. How do u not give him the open fingered hands. He always did that thing before he locked on the chickenwing? I also don't understand why they gave him the boring face and not a wild eyed crazy head. He needs at least 2 extra heads. a crazy one and a classic howdy doody one from 70s.
bobby lashley-- looks great. Is that a new torso? Because if it had the HHH torso/Sheamus torso/or Bluetista torso. It would ruin the figure. They should make this the chase figure. Do white trunks and his classic black biker shorts for a 2007 look.
chase figures-- getting gold standard and a current shelton is amazing. They could get to so many more attires. Hopefully the pick the right figures to do this with. Like Dolph ziggler should def be one
interchangeable hands with unique molds-- so many different things they can do now. Opens up a lot of possibilities
Final Deletion set- just amazing that they're pulling that off. Ugh. too bad it was in TNA, cuz Jeff Hardys huge cross thing would've been another cool accessory
Nia Jax-- 3 interchangeable heads. way better than a chair or whatever random accessory they would've had to put in there. And the heads all look good and unique
first time in the line figures in general-- Last year was one of the least memorable sdcc's. The only figure i even recall from it was Virgil. There wasn't much else. This year was amazing.
Dusty rhodes-- thats what the Dusty that came with that WCW ring should've looked like.
Ron Simmons-- they changed that horrid Sheamus torso they were going to give him (after also fixing the skin tone months back)
Titus-- FINALLY. its about 5 years too late. But at least they made one. Its weird that its a flashback considering he's been on TV on a regular basis. But whatever
Billy Gunn-- One of my fave attitude era wrestlers. This is a figure that should def get the chase figure treatment. As he wore so many color swaps. I like the new head. And the attire choice. Also they gave him the correct open back knee pads this time
Road Dogg-- like the hat/hair/face. Good early DX attire. Glad it doesn't have the rubber shirt anymore

*DISLIKES*
eric young torso-- EY doesn't have abs in real life. The chest part kinda works. I wish they could decouple the chests from the abs on some of these torsos. Because in no way shape or form should an Eric Young figure have the same torso as Finn Balor or John Morrison (and i assume Richochet will have that torso as well)
velveteen dream-- torso and arms. i can't even tell what torso he has in the render. Almost looks like the cena torso. But he's way too big.
andrade almas-- torso is ok i guess. But those huge big poppa pump arms look odd on him.
mustafa ali-- torso & arms. Im not super familiar with him. But isn't he a skinny dude that wears a bodysuit. And i don't believe he's ripped to shreds or has cena like pythons. Are they planning on painting over the torso? cuz that makes no sense either. They can't even paint demon balor designs over it, so i doubt they're going to paint Ali's bodysuit. Are they planning on slapping a seth rollins rubber shirt on top? Because Ali's isn't some removeable shirt. Its like a solid piece. I don't get whats going on here
ABA Taker: when i think of ABA taker i think big baggy button down shirt. and straight jeans. Not skinny tucked in shirt and baggy jeans. This figure should've been easy. just slap a blue button down rubber shirt over the taker singlet torso. And get some straight jeans on him.
Ron Simmons: he looks better than he did. But the Bluetista torso doesn't look right on him either. That torso is really long. Ron Simmons wore very high waisted trunks and had a very short stocky torso. (hulk or brocks torso would've been more appropriate)
road Dogg-- too skinny. Isn't there a larger shirt mold they could've used? Like rey mysterio or the one from APA or Scott hall?
billy gunn-- didn't fix the boots or skinny arms. And its got a huge rubber shirt again that doesn't fit anyone. R u telling me they can't make a cloth crop top DX shirt?
elias-- they changed his torso to the smaller sheamus torso, and still no chest hair.
Surfer Sting-- they didn't change his parts. imo the Great american Bash DM Sting was the worst elite they've made. And there was so much complaining about it. It sucks that it fell on deaf ears. The part choices are just so bad. As far as im concerned. They still haven't made a proper non-crow elite sting. Its been 4 years and they haven't been able to nail this yet? How are the Toybiz evolution of sting figures and the RSC exclusive Jakks surfer sting better than the mattel versions??

it’s weird in that same video drew got scanned and his coming out

in my ranting and raving i forgot to mention the King Mabel

i guess its kinda still a ways a way. So it slipped my mind. If that figure turns out like the render. It will be incredible if they pull that off. Theres so much unique molding and detail.

Mattel makes the best fat guy characters.

yes I know thought they would of had renders of them like lashley signed in April and he had a render I have been collecting Mattel figures for ages I know they take time and also you said lashley looks terrifying did you mean that in a good way or a bad way?

Someone in the Q&A needs to ask Bill what is your name. And before he gets the chance to say it say “IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS”.

They do! Nia Jax is the perfect example.
