I know I'm in the minority of a minority here but I'm not even looking for new names. I'm looking for WCW guys like DDP from 95 (full body gear), Stunning Steve Austin, Vader with purple or the gold lettering with those new V hands, Big Bubba Rogers, WCW Lex Luger early or mid 90's, 94-95 Ric Flair, Rick Rude, Ricky Steamboat(I know he is in the poll) Paul Orndorff from Pretty Wonderful era. I know the days of getting people like Johnny B Badd and Paul Roma are over and that there was never a shot at guys like Ultimo Dragon. I'd definitely like to get more WCW representation in the line---especially another Vader. And now they have the V hand mold as well. They could either do the 1995 Vader with the purple or go straight Big Van Vader with removable cloth mask and a rerelease of the head gear. |

I only collect Elites and Flashback/Legend themed figures (unfortunately that includes Ultimate Edition when it comes to Flashback styled figures haha) so I've found it cheaper now. Unfortunately I also collect Marvel Legends (comic book only, unless it's X-Men...and guess what they just revealed movie legends of) and hasbro beats my wallet like it's a bookie and my wallet has owed it money for months. Also, I like to get the occasional Air Jordan Retro (the ones that came out between 1985-1999 and were originally released colors) and THAT gets pretty pricey. Also, I buy collected editions and comics. So yeah. At least I'm not ALL IN on Mattel WWE anymore, but yeah, it's still plenty expensive along with bills and other entertainment and grocery crap. I've collected comics since I was 5 and I refused to get the Hasbro figs because I knew I'd never be able to stop. Those new 90's X-Men cartoon sets almost got me. It's like pleasure and pain...you look at the new reveals and you are like  YEAH...and then you get the realization..."shit, I'm going to be paying out the ass for some of this stuff. Including the store exclusive. The Etailer fan channel exclusives aren't bad though. But the STORE exclusives...especially when they do a TARGET exclusive (They are releasing Dave Cockrum Storm and Thunderbird as a Target Exclusive in the fall...I already know that's scalper prices for me to find it and sleep well with them in my display) and unless my buddy in Cali finds them for me (like he thankfully did the Red Hulk figures...one for me and one for my nephew) I know I'm going to paying out the ass. |

Vader would be a perfect figure for a chase...Could do his regular WWF attire and then a chase purple or WCW debut attire.

Luger is such a simple figure, I'm amazed we haven't seen him as a budget saver. No deco, neon trunks, and throw in a WCW belt. Or use the TNF head for a late 90's version. |

Correct me if im wrong but the first time in the line figs shown that we havent seen prior are Rhea Ripley and Billy Graham?
If so I count 374 unique characters now. (Which is hard to do as opinions vary on what makes a unique character)
*Correction, Mike Kanellis was just posted in pre-orders to basics 110 and is the chase fig. So 375.

An UE set with Taker and Sting would be perfect.

I'm late to the party here. I saw the reveals yesterday, but haven't had a chance to comment yet.
Lots of good stuff coming, IMO. I already preordered The Fiend and Viscera. Really excited for those two, and I think they both look awesome.
The Edgeheads set is really cool too, and I got my preorder in for two of those as well. I think I'm just going to go with the Hawkins and Ryder heads on the figures and call it good.
The E78 set looks really good too. I plan to get R-Truth, Drake Maverick, Matt Riddle, and Naomi. So excited to get an Elite Matt Riddle! And finally getting the Elite Naomi is great. The Billy Graham reveal was really unexpected, but I'm very happy to see a figure of him. I just hope I can track one down.
The Legends series 9 set looks good. I may end up getting the whole set, if I can find them. My favorite is the LJN inspired Jake Roberts. Such a cool idea.
Side note, good to see Heenan from Legends 8 is in his wrestling gear. I think we knew he was supposed to be, but still good to see it.
I'm going to be very choosey with the Decade of Dominance series. I'm probably only going to get Mark Henry and Beth Phoenix. I'm just not to excited for any of the others. I think they all look like good figures, just not any I need.
The Triple H and Chyna pack looks better and better every time I see new pics of it. So glad I preordered it! Can't wait for this set!
Also really cool to see the render for Hollywood Hogan. Can't wait to see a real proto.
Hopefully we'll see some new basics and battle packs over the weekend. It would be nice to see the Liv Morgan and Mike Kanellis figures from Basic 110.

Some nice reveals...& one incredibly disappointing one.
Chyna/HHH I was excited for but they've screwed that HHH up badly. Wrong boots AGAIN & crazy bland attire. Why not give him Greenblack from WM14 since they have that era of Chyna? Pffft.
now onto what Im getting and excited to be getting...
The Fiend
02/03 Kane....AT LAST.
Hollywood Hogan...excellent.
Superstar Billy Graham
Sting
Greg Valentine
Viscera
HHH Biker shorts is a maybe...but a strong maybe.
Nice one.....Kane & Hogan are very nice surprises...very nice indeed.

Besides some of the more recent Elites with the Bald head, They historically have struggled to make really good Triple H figures. Jakks used to struggle with it too. I'm not sure what it is but I just have yet to see a Triple H figure that blows me away. The face scan is usually off or the ring attire is off. The UE came pretty darn close though. |

I tend to judge how good a reveal is by how many figures I know I'm going to buy and this one has a bunch:
The Fiend: A must buy
Chyna/Triple H: Honestly only for the Chyna Figure, I don't need that Triple H or the Belts
Hollywood Hogan UE: My Jakks Hollywood Hogan is still a really nice looking figure, but I'm going to assume this will look better
Naomi: I want the Glowbelt but I like the outfit better on the non Glowbelt figure which kind of sucks
Matt Riddle: I have to get every NXT Elite
Randy Orton: I still don't really own a really nice looking modern Randy Orton so If this looks good enough I will buy it
R-Truth: Don't want the figure but I want to own every belt. I'm praying it comes with Maverick as well
Drake Maverick: I collect minimum one of every character so I'm glad I held off on the basic in the stupid squat gear. Not crazy about Drake but I get every character so I'll buy it
Billy Graham: This is a maybe. I like my Jakks Billy Graham figures but I like the idea of the swappable heads.
Viscera: They got me with the Hardcore Belt. My jakks Viscera is mediocre but I am not a big Viscera fan but I'll be buying this one for the belt and slightly better figure than my current
Rhea Ripley: I get every character. Plus I like Rhea and I need every NXT Champion I can get
Sasha Banks: Maybe....Sasha is one of my favorite wrestlers and I like the blue look. We'll have to see how the final product comes out
Kane: I love this figure. I don't have a great Kane from that specific part of his career and this one could be great looking.
DoD Randy Orton: Another Maybe...I think I have a Jakks of him laying around with this look
Mark Henry NOD: It will look great with my Attitude Era Display
Jake Roberts: Maybe...My Jakks Jake still looks nice
Eddie Guerrero: I would like a Mattel Elite Eddie from later in his career. I really wish they would make his scarface look but I'll settle for this.
STing: Maybe. I would like to get every look for Sting. I don't NEED this one though
Mike Kanellis: Again. I get every character
So that is 13 figures I will buy and 4 maybe's. That is a very solid reveal. Hopefully we get even more!
