Very impressed with the sculpting on Rusev's trunks around the thigh area, didn't disappoint with painted on trunks, nicely done! Also the detail on Nia is unbelievably flawless.

Maybe it's the angle/lighting, but the original Roman proto looked a bit more impressive. The head scan now looks a bit off, and the vest does not appear to fit as snugly, especially around the waist and neck - overall vest seems bulkier.   |

Confirmed Nia Jax vs. Triple H feud to take over the Triple H name (triple headed).

The only thing with the Roman figure, and it is the only thing, is that black bit encroaching into his hand, very slightly spoils an awesome figure

I think vest might just be open along the back in the second pic. You know how Seth's too are always like that in the box? I think it's just the studs at the back as they would have them closed when it was on display. |

This is a great looking set! Might be my first whole set purchase in a while.
The only one I'm on the fence about is Rousey. I see what Mattel was going for, but I just don't dig the sculpted on jacket. I really want to wait for the Ultimate Edition Rousey.

I wouldn't be surprised in today's world. Hopefully if that one stupid voice speaks up this time everyone else can actually use basic common sense and rational to see that it's interchangeable heads. Brother, that’s not even “today’s world”. Moms and parents have always been absurdly stupid with wrestling toys. Remember that Al Snow figure back in the day that got pulled because people thought it was a severed woman’s head in there? They even did an angle on TV about it! Lol. Yup. That's why I mentioned it earlier. I was so lucky and manage to find Al with Head before they were pulled at Walmart back then. |

I wpuldnt wait for the UE Rousey if you want it for your collection, the UE are not likely to fit with Elites, the pictures I saw look far too different, Im taking the UEs as a new line for me to collect |

My biggest gripe with Elite’s is the articulation. That looks to really be improved. Plus the overall quality looks to be improved as well. Can’t wait for them to make an AJ UE. |

The Warriors stomach looks different and they have extra articulation, but they’re using almost the same size bodies and heads. I have not seen any pictures of them side by side with elites, but I see no reason why they wouldn’t fit it. It’s not Jakks RA figures or Rumblers we’re trying to fit in. Basics, Elites, hell even some Flex Force look ok in a collection together. |

The paint appears flat, unlike the glossy elites, they look more like the Neca figures than elites, from what i see anyway |

Once they start being mass produced then we’ll see. I can’t really see them using a different sheen than basics/elites |

I think Roman’s vest doesn’t look as snug at the waist because the first pic the body is aligned perfectly. At least the waist the legs are totally out of alignment. And the second pic his waist is turned so that’s more of the side of the vest over his one leg.

This looks like one of the better quality new waves. It has some newer faces and some pretty great looking parts. If I collected current figures, I'd be real happy about this wave.
But I don't -- and there are no Flashbacks in it it, so no thanks, lol.

I just bought the E62 Roman with the Intercontinental Title at retail the other day. Some of these are just too similar for me to get another one.
Now if they put out a Greg Valentine or Hercules or something like that, I'd buy two of them.

Did they make a fuss when McFarlane released his movie maniacs/horror things, or whatever that series was? I remember that stuff had actual torn off heads. One of them even came with a blood pool base with like 3 womens' heads in it lmao
Anyway, that'll be the first Roman I buy, don't have a fig of him or that belt yet.
I wish stores sold the whole set with a discount for buying them all, instead of charging extra for wanting them all haha
