I’m not interested in them. Too pricey and the choice of wrestlers aren’t ones I need or care to buy a double of.
I don’t care for the torso articulation at all.
Mattel is gradually losing me as a customer already anyway. The only figure I’ve bought this year was King Mabel. Probably gonna get Red Rooster and the Hardy’s but that’s it. I wish they’d come up with a better business plan to get more legends out to collectors.

The figures themselves look excellent. But the wrestlers they've decided to go with thus far in this series is kind of disappointing. Another reason, along with the poor Mattel distribution, why I haven't bought a figure in months.

Love the idea of the waves only having 2 per series. Very manageable. On the other hand, there's a ton of nitpicks that stop me from buying them all. I just got the S2 Bret Hart. - You have to cut 5 pieces of tape to get the box open. It's a clamshell design with no resealing tabs or mechanism. Once it's open, it's loosely open for good. Unless you retape.
- Lots of room underneath the figure. Mattel could include a build-a-set or something to justify the price increase. A stand, an insert, a booklet... something.
- With the jacket on, you can still see Bret's armpits, which is weird. I do prefer the plastic jacket over a cloth one, but there's some obvious draw backs.
- The torso is wonky and reminds me of the Jakks Finishing Moves series. Doesn't seem to be loose on this one, but seems like a step back from the Elites as far as aesthetics go.
- The facial expressions are bizarre! Of the 3 Hart heads, only 1 seems to be passable. The hair is another obvious complaint. Nakamura's heads look plain goofy. The new HHH comic con reveals also seem off.
I would've been happy with just a new Elite Bret with removable jacket. Cheaper too! They can keep the weird heads.
At this point, I'm holding off on buying all of them in favor of just getting the names I want. My wishlist is not very big:
Royal Rumble 1997 Shawn Michaels w/ Texas inspired entrance & ring gear

I don't have any yet but the new torso articulation doesn't look great imo..

I'll maybe try Bret or Finn. Make Rollins and we'll talk business.

Seems as though so far up to series 5 they are doing flashback and current in each set. Nice compromise.
Didn't get any yet, but I will once HBK is available. Don't care for fin, Ronda, and nak, (especially nak, got damn it bill)

Lesnar and Shawn look really good. Looking forward to seeing final product.

Don't care for fin, Ronda, and nak, (especially nak, got damn it bill) Seems like he's mandatory in every line. There's a couple of his I do like, though. And the new blue attire looks good for a change.

Guess I better start collecting this series! 🤦🏽♂️ Me too. I haven't bought one yet. Too busy buying everything else. Planned on getting Bret and Warrior this week until those 3 Hogans went up. Gotta have Hogan.

I like the ones that have multiple arms because I’ll be able to turn some elites into “ultimates”. Idgaf about the boots and I hate the torsos so double jointed elbows is ultimate enough for me

Shawn's face looks absolutely horrendous. Who can defend this stuff?

HBK reference: The old Jakks Montreal Screwjob RSC exclusive and the Mattel Mania 14 figures' heads are still the measuring stick for HBK face sculpts.

Since the retro line got put on ice, I decided I’m going to start collecting these after seeing that hHh. It looks great.

Becky Two Belts seems a good idea, Asuka would've been good if she was to come with her entrance robe. Looks like thats not happenng now, so its in the elite line with the head piece and mask?
