I don't understand how Bill has the Roman Reigns boot molds and just doesn't use that for the Strowman elite. Don't tell me it's tough to make new leg molds because you did a hell lot of new molds for the Bludgen Brothers.
I love the Elite Hardys but man it's such a let down to have Matt's face covered in all that hair. Close up pictures of the headscan look like its awesome looking. A couple of hair strands would have covered it. Hopefully this is a 1st prototype and we get something that shows off more of his face.

So I just looked at the picture from the night Braun busted the bass over Elias. It was feb 12,2018 and braun had a "get these hands" shirt on. I hope mattel release this figure with that shirt instead of plain black. It wouldnt be that hard juat white lettering.

is it just me, or do the hardys have a point of articulation in the feet? i thought they might be the ultimate edition until i saw that the elbows weren't double articulated They're regular elite figures. That's just the side of the kickpad mold you're seeing. LOL, wrestlers in 1999 didn't have kickpads, that was before the geek mentality took over. |

The fact that Brie Bella is in Elite 68 Main Line is absolutely  ing ridiculous This going to be the next Tito Santana on pegs. Out of all the female wrestlers they give out another Brie. You know what this could also mean.... another Nikki might be released in future Elite line.... The horror... We could have used an updated Ember Moon and released her over Brie. What a waste Mattel |

Question. Which Mabel is the more iconic of the 2? The chase is the attire he wore when he won the King of the Ring. The regular version is the attire he wore at the SummerSlam 95 main event. I hope that helps. I did not know this. This actually helps quite a lot. |

Elite 68 isn't very good.
Undertaker is my all time favorite but not sure I really need this one.
I might pickup Mable for retail.
No need for another Warrior.

Whats with Brie Bella as a elite. Yea i understand its a cloth shirt included. But thats a waste of a slot. Patterson's figure should have been in the normal 6 with brie as the walmart exclusive. That would have made more sense.
Wonder what accessories will brian come with, probably a shirt.
Mables is cool just not understanding why one version isn't gold and the other versiin purple. The two purples really dont look that different. Had to look at it like 5 times before I saw the difference.
Hardys RSC is nice. I love attitude era figs. Hope we get that team extreme with lita 3 pack as the next epic moments after the ultimate deletion.

I don't know if the Hardy's ever had kickpads, except for Matt during his 2009 heel run. I think it's just the closest mold they have to their boots. Oh, and in 1998 Yuki Nagata wore kickpads in WCW. As well as Shamrock, X-Pac, and RVD to name a few  |

That Brie Bella Elite is a joke. Still no paint on the flannel, no headband paint, nobody asked for it and she has only wrestled 3 times since April 2019. Pretty sure Taker wrestled more than that. April 2019 is a month and a half away. If you meant April 2018, I think she has wrestled more than that because she was botching matches every week on Raw back in September and October. |

The Elite Brie is kinda out of nowhere but the Bellas 2-packs always sell quickly around me so I guess it's not all that shocking to see them get Elite figures. It is surprising that they didn't even give her a new head sculpt to help differentiate from her other figures though. I doubt those accessories are enough for most people to double dip and pay $20 per Bella if they already have one of the older Battle Packs.

People need to get over the Brie Bella thing. If you don't like it don't buy it. The world doesn't revolve around smart marks.

I’m hoping that Gerald Brisco is the Walmart exclusive for Elite 69 (N I C E)

I think the Warrior looks good from the waist down. So crazy that we are actually getting '98 Warrior.

Ok so with the new Retro series 9 Macho man we’re obviously gonna have to swap the head like with series 7 HBK. Which one do you prefer?   |

Had to look at it like 5 times before I saw the difference. Totally agree... a gold chase variant would have been great. As it is, both these Mable's look SO similar, it's only worth getting one. |

I think if the ab crunch on Warrior was lower, maybe slightly above navel level, more similar to NECA figures, it would look look a lot more natural and not as elongated.
