They can mold a sweater for this but deadass just painted red over the body of the elite exclusive Looks like the elite will have a molded torso. I’ll believe it when I see it. The way Bill described it on Instagram just made it sound like it was the same torso shown but with the belly button removed

Hopefully they fix Gargano. I’ll pickup orton and x-pac. Really wish WM20 Christian has won but it’s whatever, I’m sure we will get it down the line.
That basic funhouse bray looks great. Glad I preordered it. I still don’t see how the elite bray looks the way it does when they tooled a whole new torso for a basic. Is there not some way they can just include a cloth good sweater or something? I feel like this RSC exclusive is going to be one of the ones they give away for free with orders over $250 in the future.

I think he says molded torso, because Bill clarified the final product wouldn’t have the belly button showing. I could be wrong and they are going to redo to whole torso, but that’s my thought behind what he said.

Gargano looks great, and while the NWO gear was not my first or second choice in the poll, I am glad that he FINALLY has a head without the tongue and a removable bandana. Nothing else of interest for me today though. Lackluster way to end a solid con showing IMO.

In before they fix Johnny Wrestling's kickpads and everyone spends the next six reveals griping about his height.

The painted kick-pads tops on the Elite 70 Gargano really don't bother me. The HOC without the painted tops looked terrible, but these are fine, especially in-person.

Hahahaha they didn’t fix the kickpads on Gargano. me entirely. God I hope they fix it before it’s released but I said that before his Elite 71 and nothing. So *shrugs* X-Pac looks cool. Christian, while I already have that elite, looks good. I just hope this certain head/facescan doesn’t look make his neck look too long like when you put his Basic 39 head, same head as this one, on an Elite 11 or BOPPV Christian. Randy looks like he had no neck but I like the figure. Hope the IC title VAC like McIntyre Elite 8.

Based on how Nikki’s hair is laying I am guessing she’s getting an elite with a vest (or is that the same head as her prior elite?) i believe it’s a new head sculpt and the elite Alexa was shown with the women’s tag titles so I’m guessing Nikki is coming in another elite set with the other title

I’ll get Christian and Gargano even though I wanted the WMXX Christian. His scan is great, though, so that’s a plus.
It wasn’t as big of a deal to me as it was to others, but I find it hard to believe after all of the feedback they didn’t fix Gargano’s kickpads. I try not to be negative, but that seems lazy. Disappointing.
I haven’t gotten a basic in many years and that will continue. Besides the scan that Rowan is just awful. It reminds me a lot of Jakks to see him with a skinny body and a plain black t-shirt. Of course they wouldn’t have a metal band’s logo, but I thought in Steve Q&A they said they’d probably put his logo on his shirt or something generic.
I agree it’s hilarious the basic Wyatt is a lot better than the RSC exclusive elite. I really can’t imagine who saw the proto of that Elite and gave it the thumbs up. Everything besides the scan which is great is laughably bad with the painted shirt and baggy pants.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand how this, of all things, gets people so heated. I mean, I get that it's not an ideal means of achieving the look, but in the grand scheme of things, we've had it a lot worse. It was months after I bought this figure and started seeing the complaints that I even noticed how they did it, and even then, it didn't quite ruffle my feathers. I think my NXT Seth Rollins has the same thing going on, and I never gave that a second thought either.

A decent little showing today, IMO.
I've got the B111 Nikki on preorder, so it was nice to finally see it. Not too keen on the headscan. I can't tell if it is the same as her previous scan with longer hair? Oh well.
The renders of Fan Takeover Series 2 look good. I'll be getting Christian for sure. Gargano looks good, though I hope they can maybe change out the kickpads though. I wasn't planning to get X-Pac (I was hoping 1-2-3 Kid would win) but, I do like that new headsculpt. I may just have to get that figure now.
Overall, I think it was a good showing from Mattel for the last few days. Lots of figures I want to try to get over the next few months.
