AJ Styles - I never like the lime/neon green attire & I hate this rubber shirts (if doesn't fit smaller guys like him and when they gave it to #DIY Hall of Champion Series 2 Elites). Braun Strowman - Looks cool but a release with the same accessories from Elite 68 Finn Balor - A repaint from Top Picks Series 1. Maybe I'll get it. Seth Rollins - An attire I never liked and the head that makes him looks like he is taking a shit. Shirt is cool but the attire is trash.

I think these are pretty cool overall and I like the Top Talents series as a whole, but I do agree with some other comments regarding a few design choices.
Seth: I don't mind them re-releasing this attire since he did wear it again, but I wish they could have added more deco to the belt or something, and that head is atrocious. I love the shirt though. Finn: About time they released a normal Elite Finn, as I feel like the rainbow/LGBT Finn isn't a look that everyone wanted. While I would have preferred blue or red, I think this looks fine although the silver looks different from the reference photos someone posted. Typical Mattel. AJ: Great fig minus the giant oversized shirt. Braun: Nothing to say that hasn't been said already. It's a fine figure for what it is but almost shameful they can't at least make the pants black to switch it up at least a little bit.

Finn - in the Silver and black attire is a must get because it’s Finn and he’s in Raiders colors! Win...win! Rollins - I don’t care if the attire has been released before. The head is Rollins second best scan/sculpt. Sure the hair may be wrong for a pre-match look, but during the match his hair fall over his face like that at times. So I can deal with the hair not being slicked back. Style - I am happy with the first Top Pick and the E66 so I can’t really say if I will buy it or not. Strowman - I have his very first Elite and I feel like that is one to many, because the guy does nothing for me as a face. Maybe if he was a heel I would care about him, but as a face I just don’t find him entertaining. Because they are the guys the WWE and retailers want on the shelves. I have said this in the past when Rock, Austin, Taker, Triple H we’re constantly being released with Jakk and again when Roman, Cena, Taker, Rey were for Mattel. Think of it as a Batman line there has to be at least one Batman in every wave. There’s always a new kid getting their first one. So this line is supposed to make sure there’s these guys on the pegs for people wanting their first Rollins/Balor/Styles/Strowman. And if they are all 2 per case and now someone’s store is sitting on 10+ of Styles on the pegs well that means they had stocked 5 cases of this series. So it is working they way they wanted. Because someone is buying them if they restocked it at least 4 times. These come in cases of five I did not know that. Maybe AJ shouldn’t have been the 2 per case figure? Either make the extra figure random of the four (so each case has a 1/4 chance of any being the 2 per case figure) or add a fifth wrestler to the set (Roman?) and have them all be 1 per case? But in any case the other three keep moving.
