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? Didn’t you hear Hawkins ribbing Bill in the preview night video? “Who could’ve imagined a $50 coat wasn’t feasible?”

To me this line was perfect reason to release Royal Rumble ‘91 Macho King - a figure that many collectors, myself included, have been loudly requesting for years. Yet, he still remains absent after 4 series of figures, the majority of which A) could’ve easily been done as an Elite figure and people would’ve been perfectly satisfied B) really have no justification for being in the UE line.
These character choices are mind boggling and will be THE reason why this line will flounder like all the others. I just hope we get 91 Rumbe Macho King before it inevitably goes kaput because of egregiously bad decisions, all of which should’ve been easily avoided.

Agree on the Macho King. Perfect situation for it.
I’m excited to see Becky. She definitely needs to be in her Mania 35 attire with the jacket and have both belts and a few different head/hair looks.

This is a really good series but I hate the torso which is why I only bought one figure which was the warrior. only because it was wcw version.these other choices of wrestlers they chose makes no sense at all triple h I can understand and shawn Michaels. but finn balor,Becky lynch brock Lesnar.theres a finn balor in every set of elite and top talent that just warms the shelf and brock Lesnar would be fine in regular elite line and Becky would be just fine in the Walgreens Exclusives.i dont know that this line will last long due to the choices they make. and the toe Articulation is pointless on these figures. so if they do away with the toe Articulation and use regular elite torso .make better choices of wrestlers this line would be awesome

They are doing it on purpose to make you pay more- shrewd business move but it will pay off because in the end people that really want a certain figure (i.e. Triple H which as been as much requested as Greg Valentine has been) will buy it. This is what they do- take a much requested, popular figure and stick it in a premium line where you have to pay more for it if you want it. Goldberg, is another example of this, a plain looking elite that they stuck in the entrance greats line which cost more due to the music box.
As for Macho, I am quite certain he will show up in this line at some point and seeing as how Mattel just announced 3 more series at Comic Con, I think they are committed to this line and want it to be around long term. Of course that all hinges on the line being picked up by retailers which is questionable IMO due to the higher price point.

It’s 1 thing to not include SG pieces over the plastic/molded pieces, but the damn torso looks awful.

Agreed, this is my most wanted attire of his and it would be perfect for this line.

Having purchased Warrior this morning here is my quick thoughts on it. Overall I am happy with it. But while we did get more articulation I do feel we might have lost some forward movement in the new ab crunch. It’s great that it has some nice sideways movement and still good backward arching I feel in my mind it may have lost some forward movement .

my thoughts is that unless they are making a figure with an entrance jacket and sleeve arms. Its not interesting enuff to be a different line of figures.
