Really?, the likeness is pretty good IMO even though its not painted. As soon as I saw the pic my mind immediately went to Muraco. Quite surprised to see him being made as I would think Mattel would consider him to be too niche, guess not?! Is this another Walmart main line store exclusive figure?! I saw the light blue trunks and the hair and for a second, thought it was Dino Bravo LOL, that would have been the surprise reveal of the century!  On another note, the pic of Macho/Zeus in your signature is getting to me. The more I see it the more I want a Zeus fig- since Bill is now releasing legends via battle packs (very clever move IMO  ), how about a Zeus/Macho battle pack? Great way to get Zeus into the line, unfortunately Macho would have to be a basic but we would get a Zeus elite. |

Gorilla needs the bigger Heyman/Bearer torso jacket then it will be good. I honestly had no idea that was Muraco. Ill wait to see it painted but never would I have guessed it was him.

It looks like a jheri curl that's receding. The hair just throws it off for me. |

We’re getting an Elite Alicia Fox but no mentions of a “The Man” Becky Lynch figure? That's extremely weird indeed. Specially when pictures like this exist.  And you immediately think "One of them is not like the other...". All figs in this pic look really good because they are all still pretty new and most with FX, the only "aged" figure in that whole picture is Becky. It bums me out that the articulation is lacking enough on their figures that guys like AJ cant do their signature poses the right way. I know many here are anti-butterfly joint, and that’s fine, but if they don’t adopt those, at least cut in a tiny bit more on the chest to allow more tangoes of movement. Even a slightly more cut out divet would be welcomed imo. Also total tangent, make the dang ab crunches crunch more. They like half way crunch. Lol. |

The lack of anyone mentioning the Ultimate Deletion set is a telling sign that perhaps the moment wasn’t that epic after all.

I’m not sure why The Rock figure that would sell perfectly fine is a store Exclusive, and of all places Walmart.

I love the way Flair is looking at Nia and Becky there lol. I guess even as an action figure Ric is gonna be Ric. |

Of course they screwed up Ciampa. Why the hell did they go with that torso? His original elite had it and his current body looks NOTHING like that anymore. Just flat out lazy on Mattel's part. 100% agree, Ciampa is freakishly ripped now, how in the hell did they decide on that torso? It looks like it's just a Ciampa head slapped onto a Daniel Bryan body. So not only does it have the wrong torso, but he'll be way too short too. |

He has the same parts as his first Elite, just a new head and accessories  As for the height, he's billed as 5'11 so he'll be the same height as Adam Cole since he's using the exact same parts. |

GORILLA MONSOON!!!! One of my most wanted figures... thankyou, Mattel.  Big Show flashback looks good... hopefully he'll come with a cloth shirt too. Really pleased we're getting some more Goldbergs - especially his '03 look - but both being Basic and using the same head/scan as the two we already have, is a bit disappointing. Hopefully they're saving a new scan for a '03/'04 Elite... |

I'm definitely going to have to learn/master torso cracking. The ciampa figure is dope but i know if i were him and i put in all that work during my injury time and my new fig does show my progress on the best heel run.
I'm hyped for the Ali and ricochet, i'll give ricochet's face a chance for now since its still in prototype phase. And i wanna like Miz but i want to see him without the coat first.
Disappointing in the top talents seth, i feel like that one is still really easy to get.
Wish we saw a Murphy but i'm happy with the gargano (hopefully we can get some fixed legs) and EC3. And hype about the bay bay hands.

Isn't there a Jinder Mahal in the works? I know his name was a placeholder for this year's Summerslam line but I thought one was finally coming in the Elite line. And coreythehitman I remember there was talk of an early Big Show coming in Walmart's next Fan Central wave. Someone can correct me if I am wrong. |

Seriously, still no Kairi? Not even a proto.  I like that new Sasha though. |
