Wow, those elites are absolutely amazing. It's crazy to see how far Mattel has come in quality. Even the repaints are absolutely sick. I have two of that exactly same Summerslam Seth Rollins and I'm like, "Jesus. I might as well just throw them in the trash." Just gorgeous. The new Shield Seth looks beautiful. Can't wait to get him and a new Shield Roman. My only gripe is that elite Rock is the exact same figure we got in the Legends series (hands and head aside), and other than a different color on the trunks, the same one we got with the previous Elite series Rock. I've been waiting for a 1998 elite Rock for YEARS. Especially since the Defining Moments one has been impossible to find at a reasonable price for over 5 years. Give me a 1998 long sideburns Rock! And still no 2000 Triple H. After ABA Undertaker, Triple H will be the only No Mercy-era main eventer we don't have. Those teeny gripes aside, every elite they showed is a must-have for me. The Ultimate Deletion looks amazing. I hope I can find that Heenan-Monsoon 2-pack because I still have no 80's announce team. 99-00 Big Show is amazing. I forgot how bad I wanted him. JBL in cargo shorts looks great. All the updated NXT figures look amazing and I hope they're not Target exclusives so I can actually find them because Lord knows Target's distribution is the drizzling craps. Awesome job, Bill. Awesome choices. Can't wait to give you more money. I agree. They all look amazing especially the NXT guys. JBL in cargo shorts tho? It’s a joke that Cena looks like JBL with his new hairstyle. |

Bret Hart Ultimate (dislike the torso, but as a Hitman fan, how can I resist?)Retro Diesel, Gorilla Monsoon, & Don Muraco are definite pick ups.

How is it that Tozawa, Kendrick, Cedric, Gulak, Gallagher, Nese, TJP, and Ali have all had figures made of them before Buddy Murphy? I guess I don't understand what the hold up is.
Same thing with Kairi Sane and Peyton Royce. Both of them have been around for quite a while and there is no sign of a figure of them yet while Billie Kay, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, and Sarah Logan all got figures.
I guess I'm just overall curious what goes into deciding what figures get made when and what goes into how long it takes for certain people to get a figure made of them.

All I care about are the two new Austin figures and the retro JYD.

Yeah, all those guys who have been part of 205 since the CWC getting figures before someone who has been on 205 for just over a year. I don’t understand either. And some of those figures were in stores before Buddy Murphy even got to 205! The nerve of Mattel. |

Because Those guys were in 205 Live for almost 2 years before Murphy was, and Murphy was not being featured a lot before he went to 205 Live, Mattel takes a long time to make the current stuff, We'll get him eventually, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce are rumored for a upcoming Battle Pack set, Kairi Sane is not rumored as of now |

Didn’t think he specified anything about the trunks. But I could be wrong. |

I'll pick up this Ruby Riott and just put the head on the NXT body. Boom... done. That's my plan too. I really like the new head on this Riott figure. I might even pick up two Monsoon figures and swap one of the heads onto a different body for a late-career wrestler version of Gorilla. Probably paint the hair darker as well. |
