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. Didn't they have that already? 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 No no no no no...I'm talking Main Line Elites! First time in the line! NXT UK Champion WALTER with a big ol' red switch on his back that makes his arms go up and down! Missed the NXT Aleister Black? Get ready for his new and improved Elite with a more detailed vest, up to date tattoos, an even more menacing TrueFX scan, and for the first time ever, a spring loaded leg for "authentic" Black Mass Action! I will not rest until Big Bill incorporates these features into the line and all subsequent spinoff lines no later than Elite series 80.

Can you imagine... 1) Norman Smiley is given a figures contract to sign at the WWE PC 2) Mattel makes his First Time in the Line Elite figure 3) Comes with WCW Hardcore Championship, football helmet, jersey and shoulder pads to wear over his regular wrestling gear and has Big Wiggle action?

If 80s Nostalgia is so hot right now then why not make a New Legends line? Celebrate the nostalgia of 80s/90s wrestling?
I like ninja turtles and wwf but i didnt buy those mixed figures. I like pizza and beer but i wouldnt be interested in beer flavoured pizza either or pizza flavoured beer
The wwe / ghostbusters stuff is a waste as well. I dont get it

I dont get it Those WWE/TMNT figures wouldve sold better if the figures were late 80s/early 90s Playmates style or the TMNT Classic Collection style from a few years ago. I dont think any wrestling fans watched the current cartoon they were based on and the line was called Ninja Superstars when there was nothing ninja or superstar about those figures.

Macho Man, Sting, Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker will be the only ones I get. I have a feeling Mattel will over-produce the John Cena's and they will be warming the shelves until next Summer.

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 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. I no longer collect because of products like you see here in this thread....it’s ridiculous these days & as a grown man, I’m ashamed to have something like this sitting in my home for people to see....My opinion is simply that, just an opinion....All apologies, didn’t mean to offend the little man-child that dwells within some of us 😂

Yea but lets say nostalgia is the main focus here.
Marvel legends are putting out a bunch of classic themed action figures that are doing very well. Ninja turtles have a bunch of 90s action figures coming out that are selling great. Theres other brands doing the same. Even bucky o hare has an action figure series right now. Revamps of 90s action figures are big right now
Yet wwe is trying to cross over with ghostbusters. He man. Scooby doo, zombies etc
Why not put out their own classic line now, make the carding as nostalgic as possible and keep the figures the same style. Just like the retrofest but a 4 slot series at regular elite pricing that can be found easily in regular stores.
Seems like a no brainer. Or maybe they could cross over with transformers next and see if that does any better? Idk man. Seems like nows a great time for a legends relaunch but they would have to keep it the same price as elites and keep them consistant

Ok. Would now be a bad time to tell you that Mattel was producing Barbie products for a full fifty one years before ever landing the WWE license?

I am a Big Masters of The Universe Fan. Big. I am a Big WWE Fan.
But Masters of The WWE Universe? No thanks. When it will help to sell Motu Origins and WWE Elite in 2020 than its Fine For me. When it will help to make The Masters Brand Alain so Big as in The 80th. It Would be Perfect. But i don’t belive it until i See it. For Me. I will Buy Masters Of The Universe Origins in 2020. I will still Buy WWE Elite and Ultimate.
I will and Would Never Buy this Plastic Crap.

Why were you buying things you didn’t like and showing them off in your home? I wasn’t....the figures I collected & have on Moc display are from the days of Jakks & some past Mattel ones like the DM Sting figures, DM Flair & few RSC exclusives....

Holy crap that ring is freaking awesome!
I love this line, I think I am actually more into this than I was the retros. I really hope to be able to pick up the ring and Warrior close to when these come out and then the other three, especially that purple HHH later on. Hopefully we can get some news about these being released in the UK sooner than later. Were these not originally planned for next year?

I grew up loving He-man. However this line looks tacky and is just like zombies or any of the other tacky hybrid lines: TMNT, zombies, Ghostbusters

Bill said said they were being released next year, but one of the guys working on Masters said they would be out by Christmas. It's another case of Bill not knowing when something will be released because both video interviews took place at SDCC.

I love almost everything about these. I just wish Cena had more of a charismatic expression - toys like this need an action face. HHH is okay, because he looks pissed, but Cena is just too plain faced. Can't wait for them to hit though, this playset looks exactly as it should. Retro and awesome.
