So I got my Bret in the mail yesterday and I'm blown away. He makes for a fantastic display piece and while the hair is annoying, I genuinely love it. http://instagram.com/p/BzjfkyfAenE

The figures look good all except the torso articulation...It just turns me off to them. Warrior and Bret are the best two so far in my opinion

Bret Hart looks great. I’m not in the market for more Bret figures so I’m passing on it. I don’t want more warriors either

Received my 2 Brets today. Displaying one in ring jacket, open hands and default head with the glasses giving the pre-match pose. The second one has the closed fists and the calm looking head. I love this figure.

I agree with you but then you also have to consider that if you slapped SH Figuarts or MAFEX or One:12 on these boxes instead of Mattel people would be willing to throw $50 - $100 at them (maybe not Shinske, but you get what I’m saying) I get that comics, movies, etc are popular, but how those 6” lines stay afloat (and flourish!) and WWE will have problems with this $30 line of top notch figures, is beyond me except that Mattel is no where near those high end lines in quality. i collect a bit of everything including imports and higher end stuff and for the most part mattel stuff looks like a children's toy next to them vs a collectible Maybe cos they are children's toys?

Man I just can’t justify the prices for these. I don’t play or anything so I would be paying to have the extra stuff sit in a box. Hope the line makes it for people interested but I don’t see many stores being able to really move these unless they only get small quantities in

Bret in his iconic hands out pose looks great. I’ll end up getting Bret despite my gripes to go with Warrior.
But seriously, Are these ever hitting retail?

Why are people complaining about the price on these? They’re pretty much the same price as the DMs and entrance greats at $30 + tax. People found figuarts too expensive, I think these are reasonable. The only thing taking away from the line imo is the horrible torsos and it’s because Mattel made the upper torsos too wide and not sit right. I’d prefer if they go back to the original elite torso if they’re going to continue with these. I think with Bret they could of changed his hairstyle to capitalize the multiple scans.

People complained about the price of those too. I was in Target yesterday and saw a EG Goldberg. Price checked it at 32$. Laughed and tossed it back on the aisle and left.

The figures have turned out great, and I'm tempted to grab 2 Brets for the entrance jacket and ring gear. But I do wonder if these will ever make it to retail, and if not the line is DOA. Someone posted a diagram of the upcoming Walmart reset in another thread and UE were nowhere to be seen.

~*Young $ Money*~ I honestly do think the entrance greats were a cash grab. Especially with a guy like Goldberg, who literally had no accessories/new molds or even scan. However, these bring alternate heads, hands, added articulation and some kind of accessory. I think they’re okay for what we’re getting.

There were literally 9 Goldbergs today at my local Target, just sitting there for weeks. I have a feeling they will be on clearance soon.

Not a big fan but I’ll grab the first 2 waves. As far as MOC goes, yeah I don’t like the way it looks. If the line continues in the future I’ll definitely consider getting someone like Rollins or Styles or whoever I really like to actually open and display. My elites will always be MOC, but for something like this where I’m not interested to dive into the line I’m open to limited buys and displaying them in other ways.

If they go on clearance let me know which target and I’ll go pick up one I bought one yesterday in NC on clearance at target. Still $22.38. Not that great of a deal for that figure

Def. not worth the 32.99 though
