I dont mind snake, rude and hammer being chase variants but for the love of god I wouldve much rather chases or Billy Graham, Razor and Eddie. Choosing which to make chases was the only mistake on that series. I might be way off, but I would imagine Snake, Rude, and Hammer got chases because they’re much less likely to get another full release in the future. Just a guess. |

I'd agree on maybe hammer and rude. These will be 1 & 2 for hammer and 3&4 for rude. As for elites** But Eddie we deserve more of him and he deserves more figures Razor is long over due cause they keep making stupid scott hall elites, I think theres 1 razor elite, and 4 scott hall elites. It's more of them making the better choice. Billy Graham. We ain't getting another anytime soon because they gave us his young and old head sculpt. He had alot of colorful attires that could translate nicely to elites |

Was hopeful that the Viking Raiders would've been Elite 78.
Just hope they aren't basic first. They require too much detail

US exclusives all over the shop. Luckily, I'm only really interested in the Fiend, Hogan and suited Warrior - although that's unlikely to be available over here. Anything else I might be interested in - ie Razor, Roberts and Rude, will cost me a fortune.

I get it.
Giant heads bother me the most. Nothing is really properly scaled on these figures though. Thighs are so thin on most figures. Waists are teeny tiny. A lot of arm molds are just wrong. Some hands are too big. Boots are too big on smaller wrestles.
I could go on but I still collect for whatever reason.

Tons of cool figures shown.
But I’m pretty hesitant about getting hyped for them because the distribution has been so poor lately, especially the store exclusives. Making them more readily available at retail or selling them online (which Wal-Mart has done some and Target not at all) would be great.
Why make awesome figures if we can’t give you our money for them, y’know?

Really happy to see a Edge, a very generic attire of the time but it's totally cool. Still awesome attire and happy to see Edge. Creative idea for the Edgeheads. It would be cool to see the Edgeheads in the WM 24 gear though. Really wish we got new scan for Edge. But i'll do a swap. But it's awesome to see Mattel really listening to us though, and we got lots of way cool stuff.

Today we all saw new images for a lot of figures. On of which is the Decade of Dominance Randy Orton. In the early renders we say he would have the accurate small arms. The new photos show the inaccurate larger arms. I'm going to rant about those godawful arms and the shoulder joints. Those giant arms and shoulders have been on figures like Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Mr. Perfect, and Buddy Murphy. None of those guys have giant ripped arms. I've never seen those arms on a big guy where it would be accurate (now that I think about it they MIGHT have been on a Ryback). When I see those arms I know one thing, the shoulders will be terrible. Those shoulders NEVER move right, they are always too tight. Now if I want to get that Randy Orton figure, I have to find an old basic to arm swap. I think that new Matt Riddle Elite has them too. I bet Rick Rude and Eddie Guerrero will too. I hate those arms, I really do. Besides that major inaccuracy that Randy figure is epic so I might just try and overlook it as hard as it may be. They don't look THAT bad, but I just know the shoulders will be awful. You need to do something with your life... get a job or something when this crisis is over... |

2. Matt Riddle
3. Eddie Guerrero

Personally I never understand the many complaints over things like this. I don’t see anything wrong with it to begin with, but even if there is a minor thing “off”, why care so much? It’s a toy, they’re going to be made to be as accurate as possible but almost nothing is going to be perfect.

I went into today just expecting the Fiend, but I thought Mattel had a great reveal day!
The figures I'll be looking to buy are:
Fiend
Hollywood Hogan
Jake Roberts (Standard)
Rick Rude (Standard)
Kane
One of the Kofi's.
Well done Mattel!

Cool. The black trunks Valentine would have been nice with black boots.

Oh snap! Its Hollywood Hogan! Unless society completely collapses before these come out I'll be buying quite a few wrestling figures over the next year. Definitely Hogan, Graham, Valentine, Rude, Jake, Heenan, possibly Show and Kane...so does the Edge, Hawkins, Ryder fig not have tattoos or what?

Isn't this undertaker essentially the entrance greats version?

Ok the figures might not be perfect but i personally think this might of been mattels best wwe figure showing yet plus we got 2-3 more days left so instead of pointing out small flaws with them take the time to appreciate the effort their putting in.

Why does the green on Mark Henry's gear look more like a turquoise?

But Fiend is BERRIED and DEAD and you don’t want a figure of him anymore. |
