He doesn't use it at the moment because the Demon has never lost. So they aren't going to have him be the demon until he has a run with the belt imo, then he will finally lose as the demon and maybe use it more regular. But for right now it's reserved for very special occasions (in which finn would win). Demon lost to Joe in NXT True, but they play it up on the main roster that he hasn't lost as the Demon on the main roster. Not sure what is a tougher question to answer: 1) Why did Mattel select this figure for an entrance great? or 2) Why did WWE drop the Demon gimmick at Mania in favor of Finn becoming the posterchild for "acceptance?" ^^^

I don't have a problem with there being another Elite Demon Bálor so soon after Elite 59. I've collected them all up to this point. Bowing out now hasn't crossed my mind. It's the price hike that concerns me. Timing is a factor too, but Mattel isn't to blame for Finn's Demon persona taking a backseat on the shows. I can't justify spending $30+ on this when I see the Elite 59 figure in no danger of selling out anywhere, any time soon. I agree with others who have said they'll wait for it to drop $5 or more before buying in. Maybe the circumstances would be different if this were a regular Finn with soft goods jacket. Yeah I've not got a problem with it apart from the price. I feel like Mattel really has peaked and peaked years ago with their wwe figures. Think of the defining moments line 8-9 years ago. Top of the range with cloth shirts and accessories. Now we get rubber clothes at nearly every opportunity and an entrance great series that is vastly overpriced for what it is. First - kurt angle with 2 rubber gold medals £32.99 ($43) Second - Jeff hardy with cloth shirt £32.99 ($43) Third - finn balor with ribbon wrapped round him and less deco than elite 59 which is £16.99 ($22) here in the uk. £32.99 ($43) If these figures were caked with accessories and stuff we wouldn't usually get except the stand then yeah I wouldn't mind paying extra but I can't justify paying that sort of money for a figure that, If you take away the stand, would be more than suitable for the standard elite line.

I don't mind the figure, but I definitely prefer some of his other Elite figures. I definitely don't think it's priced right, but some people may like it because it's Finn.

Great figure but for me, his best Demon figure is by far Elite 46 The lack of paint on the body on the rest of his Demon figures, although accurate, kinda spoils them for me.

I’ll probably pick this one up. I’ve got most of the other Demon Balor figures, so I may as well get this one too. And I kind of like the musical stands.

Exactly... the figures are actually just standard Elites - and not even that in the case of Kurt and Jeff (Kurt only had 2 medals - whereas his E59 figure had 2 medals and a cloth hoodie; Jeff only had a cloth shirt - whereas his "unreleased" E1 figure had a cloth shirt and towel). Roode and Balor could also easily be standard Elites - so I guess we're paying £13 extra for the music stand and fancy packaging...

Not feeling this one. E41, NS, or SummerSlam are my favorite Demon Elites so I'm in no hurry to get another one (Unless Takeover London is on the table)
Cool for anyone who wants him, but easy pass for me, which is good because it saves me money

Tired of this guy. This line is dead. After jeff the line died. Cause angle and roode should have been in the standard elite line.

I finally got around to ordering it about an hour ago. With TRU closing the only store that carry’s EG is a KMart about 40 minutes away that I only go to maybe once every two or three months so preordering was the way to go to guarantee getting it.
