Official NY Toy Fair 2019 Mattel WWE Discussion

Loving Mabel but I don't get why there's a chase attire when they're nearly identical. At least it'll be easier at retail not caring which version I find. Now that we're getting Mabel I'm hoping for an AE Viscera.

ABA Taker isn't bad. Like someone said I think if it was a fabric shirt or just not tucked in it would look better. If he comes with a trench coat it won't be too big of an issue for me since I'll be displaying him with it on.

The Hardy Boyz are going to be my first preorder in two years. Holy hell that's exactly what I wanted their first flashbacks to look like. I'm sure Team Xtreme will be coming down the line.

I'm trying to switch to one elite per gimmick but that Iron Sheik is phenomenal. My Legends Sheik is beyond bowlegged anyway and can't stand up straight. This Retrofest line and Best of Attitude Era might just be my favorite lines since the original Defining Moments.

I need to see more of that Pat Patterson figure. I think it's great we're starting to get the stooges.

Will be getting Warrior depending on how well it fits in with the regular elite figures. My biggest Ultimate Warrior want at this point is a WCW Warrior so I'm hoping it fits right in.

The new Bryan figure is underhwelming. And that headscan is terrible for anyone wanting to make "the new Daniel Bryan." For once, I'll be looking forward to another update of a character after this one comes out. 

they finally added Superman punch hands

Hardy’s are cool - likely a pick up for me
That Taker looks stupid - why? Doesn’t feel like many wanted this?
Mabel is okay - I was hoping the chase would be different colours somewho...
Sheik is cool, but is going to warm the pegs, assuming it doesn’t get cancelled first
Macho Retro is awesome - another must for me

Hope there is something for everyone

i want to like that ronda. But something is off. Skintone is too dark and those thighs are huge. Look at her next to a pic of Kurt Angle from that match. Angle was way darker (which is another problem with the angle figures).

How to ruin some Hardy Boyz figures. Give them baggy cloth shirts to represent the skintight tucked in shirts they wore. And also use the Jeff head with the horribly molded hair. Unless u remove those terrible shirts and they have painted or molded on skintight black shirts with the white stripes on shoulders (and no damn tanktop torso) they are a not good enough. The amount of bad decisions these ppl make nowadays is astounding. Hey lets do a variant of Mabel...cool so one purple attire and one gold? "No...make them both purple". Hey lets make ABA Taker. "cool the one that everyone wants." No make the one that no-one wants. Lets put out another Braun. "Should we give him the black pants he's been wearing for years?. "NO. give him the same brown pants we did on his last 10 figures..even though he hasn't worn those pants since like 2016".

they do this to themselves. Somebody there is actively making these decisions.

I will reiterate however. That Mabel is awesome. I was trying to think why so many of the Fat characters Mattel makes are some of their best figures. And it must be because they can't use existing parts. For the fat guys they normally have to make a ton of new molds. They always turn out so good.

I love this choice pic of Bill here lmao

Who asked for it? People who buy them in the first place. Supply and demand

I'm glad to see that Retrofest Sheiky Baby! I never bought the original Elite because of how bad those trunks looked. The clubs are cool but an old school green WWF title would have nice too.

Patterson looks great!

Man, that really not much of a difference at all on those Mabel figures.

That American Bad Ass Undertaker is pretty brutal.

I still hate that new ab crunch on the WCW Warrior figure.

Old School Hardyz are cool but that Matt Hardy head is terrible.

That alternate warrior face is terrifying.

I love that they're doing green trunks Macho though. An actual figure that hasbro fans can get behind finally!
