Can someone explain me what is the problem with Gargano's kick-pads? Gargano wears high kick-pads that reach the bottom of his knee pads, crating almost a leg sleeve look. The first Gargano elite from the HOC set used the small boots/kick-pads mold so there was a large gap between the top of the kickers and knee pads that looked pretty bad. People were hoping Mattel would change which boot mold they used for his second elite, but instead they used the same one and painted the empty space to look like an extension of the kick-pads.

Does EC3 actually do the V1/shocker sign? Looks like he did at some point. ![](https://i.imgur.com/8mWHyxn.gif) Nice catch!

Has there been another current roster guy more undeserving of a main line elite than EC3? He debuted just over a year ago, they didn’t know what to do with him in NXT, he had a decent feud with Velveteen Dream but that was because of Dream, was called up to the main roster and hasn’t done anything besides being a backstage mute. Yeah I know he had a good run in TNA but based on his WWE career he’s a dud.

With Paul E in charge hopefully things change for him.

what the hell is up with Gargano's lower legs? why didnt they just use the normal CM Punk kickers?
this is what always puzzles me with Mattel, how do decisions like this get made? who decides the part choices? does the warehouse just screw up and get the wrong part #? how does stuff like this end up happening

With Paul E in charge hopefully things change for him. Even in NXT where Trips has complete control with no interference from Vince EC3 was getting lost in the shuffle. Other than his feud with Dream I can’t think of anything of significance he did there. I think he was in the ladder match for the NA belt. I vaguely recall hinting a feud with UE that went nowhere.

Gargano and ricochet would have been tied for figure of the year for me but they screwed both of them up smh

They can’t find spots for Titus, Truth, Kanelis, etc. but EC3 gets inserted into the main line just over a year after he debuted despite not having any impact whatsoever in NXT or WWE.

I loved the Target NXT line, sucks that it’s done. Always wanted an FCW/NXT Dean Ambrose fig. That’ll never happen. I also wish Jeff Cobb would someday sign with WWE, I would love a fig of his.

Gargano's kickpad snafu aside, the figure looks awesome! I hope they change the mold going forward.
This is a really nice looking set. I like this Balor a lot more than the Ultimate Edition, and it'll cost a lot less, so that works out. They NAILED ECIII's likeness. Vince is cool, though his likeness is off a bit. I'm just glad to see an old school 80s Vince. I hope we get an Attitude Era Vince in a suit next.

R truth deserves a new elite, but EC3 was a big want for many fans since he signed with the company. When his figure was being made, nobody knew he would be jobbing on main event right now.

I for one am glad we are getting an EC3. Before he gets released, this might be the only chance for one.

Called up too soon and never used on the main roster. He’s probably worse. At least EC3 had some hype coming from TNA and being one of their top stars. Uhaa Nation wasn’t really a household name coming into NXT.
