I actually would have liked to see them with the old classic Masters Of The Universe figure arms with just the shoulder articulation, but I get that they are also trying to promote the new style improved articulation MOTU figures and incorporate these with them.

Undertaker is very cool. Scareglow is a very in demand character in the MOTU world, so that will probably be popular.
Aside from that and maybe Macho Man and the New Day, these look like they have clearance section written all over them sadly.

I'm just bummed that series 1 is so weak compared to 2 and 3. Don't kill this line before it has the chance to start Mattel.
I'm down for:
Charlotte She-Ra Becky Teela Alexa Evil-Lyn KO Ram Man Ricochet Buzz Off Ali Mekaneck Cesaro Sy-Klone Ryder Roboto Bryan Moss Man Asuka Sorceress Lashley Clamp Champ Bray Mer-Man Styles Triklops Nakamura Trapjaw Usos Two Bad Orton King Hsss Jeff Hardy Zodac Black Count Marzo

Is it just me, or does that Braun look more like a sup'ed up Emperor Ming than anything from MOTU? He looks more like a Flash Gordon villain than one of Skeletor's minions.

Perfect choice to go with the Ministry Undertaker look. Really fits well with the style and feel of the classic Masters Of The Universe line.
I guess they had to rush a bit on The Rock's concept art. The other heads look more rendered/stylized and proportioned and Rock's looks like they just slapped on a magazine photo really quick. lol Not that it matters if the figure looks good, just funny observation though.

These will probably bomb just like the majority of these obscure, gimmicky crossover lines.
In 1 years time, people will be complaining that these & the Ghost buster Elites are clogging up shelves, likely with the cloth jumpsuits on Rock/Austin stolen.
Any predictions on what the next crossover line will be?

I'm intrigued by the wwe versions of these figures but the mortal kombat, street fighter DC and horror crossover of these figures did terrible around my area. They were put on clearance and didnt even move

They were put on clearance and didnt even move I guess the difference with these is that they are made by Mattel and will have the MOTU branding. You didn’t really know what the Savage World figures were trying to be. They were licensed figures mixed with something else no one was familiar with made to kinda resemble He-Man figs. At least with these you know you’re getting MOTU inspired versions of wrestlers. Plus you’re gonna get some people that will pick these up and strip em of their accessories and make them Remco figs.

Wow & I thought I’d seen it all with the whole Wwe/ TMNT concept ....just when I thought ideas for Wwe figures couldn’t get any more childish & ignorant ....here we go again 🙄 Is Mattel & Wwe really scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas these days or what?? No offense meant to those who like and/or collect these....just stating my own personal opinion

No offense meant to those who like and/or collect these....just stating my own personal opinion I think you’re failing to see the bigger picture. Mattel is going all in on MOTU. They’re relaunching the line and not just having Super7 make em, there’s a movie in the works, and there’s also a cartoon picking up where the original left off. WWE is their biggest brand for young boys. What better way to introduce the kids who love and collect WWE to a new line that they may not be familiar with? Will it work? Who knows, but they gotta try something because grown men who buy toys is not enough to sustain a major mass marketed toy line.

No offense meant to those who like and/or collect these....just stating my own personal opinion Normally I wouldn't say that an opinion is wrong, but yeah...you're absolutely 100% percent wrong here on this. They're toys, it doesn't matter who makes them, what they make them out of, or how much they charge for them, they're toys...they are inherently childish. Especially these toys, which are being geared towards younger fans by being more play-friendly in the design and execution. They're just hoping to rope in nostalgic older fans by tying it to MOTU. I don't think you know what ignorant means. But please, go on and continue being personally offended by a toy line while you collect toys, and post about it on a toy message board.

With the upcoming MOTU movie and cartoon, this is a great move on Mattel’s part!

I'll never get bored watching people complain about toys being geared toward children. I'm going to start a letter writing campaign to try and persuade Mattel to introduce a series of ToyBiz/OSFTM-esque action features to the Elite line by 2021.

It was called flex force or super strikers. The John cena figures in those sets had an ab crunch and other POA not found on basics
