Not going to lie a lot of great stuff was shown, even though I'm passing on a few things. That Hogan render looks AMAZING! I'm glad Mattel decided to step it up, it has butterfly joints, two heads,belt. Thumbs up from me. I'm glad we never got the original DM, I absolutely hated that torso. Will be getting crow Sting because he's my favorite of ALL TIME. The Fiend looks like a mash up of different things, proportionally looks weird.. I get that Mattel was trying to rush him into production. The red on his pants looks off, but it is what it is. Hopefully, their next one has bigger arms and a better torso. '03 Kane not sure what to think of it. I love the new head and glad it's re-released, but it should of had some improvements like sculpted details and bigger torso. The kneepads are also missing too... Now if Mattel could give me an elite Luger with a ponytail, WCW Bret and jeans DDP I would stop ranting. Overall, I believe there's something for everyone with these new reveals.

Damn i dont know how you guys notice these little/subtle things and then can be so distressed about it. Ive looked through the new pics on my own multiple times and again with my son. Not once did i notice something like “wrong arms”. Actually for once I wasn’t thinking about all the craziness in the world and death going on right now and was just enjoying the moment. Maybe if you were an essential worker like my wife and i are right now, out in this madness on a daily basis, “wrong arms” on a toy would be the least of your worries. I feel the same way. The figures are absolutely amazing when it comes to detail and accuracy for a $20 toy. I can see points at times when it's clear something doesn't match a reference picture or there are glaring errors. But for the most part it is what it is. Just sit back and collect what you enjoy, but even before recent events there are so many more important things in life than getting bent out of shape or an arm or torso choice, or somebody having a smiling face instead of looking serious. |

My only gripe about Valentine is I wish they would have given him black boots with the standard version so we could have Wrestlemania 4 . Not a big issue though.

MDT, AFA, you guys did a really great job choosing attires and figures, the final appearance Warrior is one I've wanted for years, I'm 99% sure I'll never see it at retail, but thanks for making it happen anyways, you guys deserve more success.

Hopefully the world does not end before we get an nWo Hogan.
Hopefully I have money to buy action figures.

These aren't all final pics but renders. Look at Paul Orndorff, you really thing his face is gonna look like that when it releases lol Be patient....and wait for the final product reveal to see how they really look when they are released. You are correct |

The arms are fine for Randy. I was glad when they started giving him the DM Steamboat arms with the Elite series 35 Orton. Now I agree they along with the thighs they’ve been giving Dolph since E19 are way to large for him, but I have zero issue with them being on Randy. Fair enough, I think they look alright on Buddy Murphy too. |

Already have the Chyna and Triple H 2 pack on order but will pickup Viscera, NOD Mark Henry and probably the DOD Undertaker and Hollywood Hogan.
Question to Mattel why do you insist giving Undertaker always the same headscan for that era? Also why couldn't the 2 pack Triple H have a new headscan?

Would that I still had little more to fret over in life than the quality of my wrestling action figures on a day when the manufacturer of said toys just dumped a metric ton of highly demanded figures on the collector base. I'm happy as hell that we're finally getting a 2005 Eddie Guerrero. |

Why is Sting's jacket so short? Shouldn't it be the same as the Defining Moments one? I believe the short jacket might be accurate. Sting has worn a variety of jackets. Some of the jackets he wore in 1996 would stop around the top of his boots. What's inaccurate are the short boots that Mattel molded for him. I guess if the boots were fixed the jacket would look fine. I brought up this up to Steve before and he said they could probably fix the boots and make them taller, as well as giving us a more accurate bat. Hopefully, Mattel follows up. Still excited for this figure. |

It says "Hollywood" Hogan, not NWO Hogan, so it could very well be his red and yellow version. Doubtful, but it could. Or the first Ultimate Edition chase. Hogan never held the big gold in the red & yellow/Hollywood mashup era. (he returned to yellow trunks in WCW when he brought those colors back there), and Steve's Instagram post confirms it's NWO. http://instagr.am/p/B-fD02VpUQD That said, a 2002 chase version could be really cool. AFA Instagram is making me curious. Road Warriors and Demolition 2 packs on way? Lol |

Tooling went elsewhere. Chyna was completely new tooling. Just has to be balanced. |
