My favourite Chase was when Jakks gave out real metal "gold" championship belts. I still have the gold Heavyweight Championship that came with an RA Batista. Love it. People comment on it in all my videos. Wish Mattel did a chase belt variation. I'd love a chase properly fitting womens championship

I never saw Backlund or Sherri at retail. I had to get them through Trades here. Heck I really want Liv Morgan and Pat Patterson but I probably won't see them at retail. He wasn’t even talking about the exclusives but rather the chase variants in each set. But luckily I haven’t had any issues with the exclusives as of yet. Hopefully when the Patterson wave hits here I will find him as easily as I have with the Dunne and Wolfe figures as he’s the one out of those three I was actually looking forward to.

I absolutely hate them I have only seen one Backlund.......that’s it I hate not being able to find these figures in multiple states of searching and I hate knowing I’ll have to pay an extrapolated cost to own them and I hate that I know I won’t see any of the rest to come out it’s ridiculous

The only chase figure so far that I’ll buy is Mabel. Still not clear on which one is the chase but I want both versions. They are very similar and yes I wish it was a better alternate but I still like it

I feel like most would say that anything Mattel does at this point isn’t working. There will always be complainers. People just want Mattel to make everyone single person they want in every attire they want, but also the right amount where they get them all easily but they all sell as well. It’s a business, it’s how most businesses operate. I still see the ant man and wasp, and black panther marvel legends series on the shelves over a year after those movies. All you lines hit and miss from time to time.

My bad I have no complaints on the chase variants because they have all been available on ringside so far lol

It’s crazy how easy things are to find area to area. Shelton and Backlund warmed for a bit here. I kept running into them but figured Backlund wasn’t going to be rare.Not sure about Dunne cause I grabbed him when I saw him then never went back. Never spotted Hawkins chase. I’m waiting to see if we get any chase women. I think Lacey Evans would make a nice chase....do her HOF outfit 😂

I've got no complaints, sure I wish they had a little more of a difference but it's nice they're trying something different the only ones I wanted so far are Shelton and Jeff. Shelton was easy to get and 67 hasn't hit around here yet, so I'll see about how hard he is to track down then.

I like the chase for a few reasons.
First it got us a flashback Shelton which I grabbed.
Second guys I don’t want don’t take up 2 spots, for example Hawkins, English etc. Unlikely they’d get two but guys like modern Jeff same thing and he would get more spots.
3rd for guys that may have clogged shelves they become the rare figs and it keeps them moving and more stuff can come in.

Benjamin worked great because it represents a different part of his career, but simply having different attires works great IMO. Completely different colored attires for Hawkins and Jeff Hardy is what it should be like for everyone. The small, subtle differences for KO, Aiden, and Mabel I agree aren’t that good for chase figures. And with KO, it’s just a different shirt. Maybe on a special occasion they will make a chase be more than just color differences, but for my liking they just need to keep doing them like Hawkins/Hardy/Benjamin and not KO/Aiden/Mabel. Exactly this. Plus: if the figure is likely the only Elite figure a wrestler is getting, then I'd much rather their chase figure be a different attire and noticeably different (eg. Shelton, Hawkins), instead of hardly any difference (Aiden, Mabel)... I would have loved a chase gold Mabel - and would have gladly paid extra for him if I couldn't find one at retail. As it is though, there's such little difference in the purple attires (...both have the same overall look), I'll just get whichever's easiest to find.

I have no problem with there being chase figures with variant attires, now the store exclusive chases I’m not a fan of.

the decision to make a barely noticeable difference on the chase figures of Aiden & Mabel is so baffling. Like...why bother??

My Wal-Mart has yet to receive any of the elite waves containing chase figures. Haven't had an elite set in stock since breezango series. Only the stupid top talent crap.

If they were harder to find and more different, collectors would lose their crap even more and criticize Mattel for it.

I have never seen a chase variant warm. I’ve seen the variants of Benjamin, Hawkins, Roman, Dean, and Seth but never at the same place twice. I have yet to see any of KO or English.
