Title of thread should be “Never been more disappointed in a figure...” instead of “set”. Seems like you’re most disappointed in Riddle with not much gripes about anyone else.

Look, I'm not gonna lie. If I had a way to buy the full case of this set I would. I want every figure in this set.
It's not disappointing at all. Naomi is awesome, Orton and Drake are solid, Kofi is straight up the one Kofi we've wanted for years (Pink/Blue), Truth is seriously overdue AND comes with a new belt, and Riddle is decent outside of the legs. If anything, it's just Riddle that's the problem. The rest of the set is golden.
I fail to see how this is the worst set ever. Not even close.

I feel you on anticipating a figure and then being let down. It happens to me a lot especially when I’m not really invested in the current product as much and then cherry picking figures. Hopefully, Mattel sees that people weren’t too happy with Riddle and corrects his future releases. That’s exactly how I feel about WCW Bret, except that we probably won’t get another one.

I only buy legends but they do tend to cut corners sometimes. Like, some figures have details on their boots, painted laces, rivets -- other don't. I also think Graham should have got a unique tie-die, not the same one Muraco had -- but we know they did that to cut overhead costs.

Elite 78. Mattel showed SUCH carelessness and disrespect to its customers with this. Matt Riddle looks like he’s the height of a 10 year old. Randy Orton’s hair detail was totally skipped over in favour of a buzz cut he hasn’t had in three years. He is so low in the package he doesn’t display properly with any other figures. This is the first time I’ve felt like my money was genuinely wasted on this hobby. What a sham. These should have been recalled. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 *takes desperately needed breath and...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is there anyone except me who care less about elite 78 except Superstar Billy Graham.
When a series produce a figure of the year the discussion ends there.
I am a guy who buy only 1 or 2 figure from each series.

How off is the height for Riddle? Is he in the same scale as Cole & Aleister? Very off. More than a full head shorter than Keith Lee basic. Riddle 78 is probably shorter than elite 73 Daniel Bryan 😳 Wow! Thank you for the help, Albie333!

Most of these issues are the result of budget constraints.

I think elite 78 is one of the best set of this year better then the previous set (Elite 77) for me it’s between elite 78 and 80 for best set of the year
Elite 78 also has guys that never had an elite before. Naomi, Drake Maverick Although the huge hands. Matt Riddle ( I don’t care about the height) And guys that have plenty of elites. Updated R-Truth. Which am looking forward to. Kofi Kingston. nice to see more more new day elites considering they wear colorful outfits
Randy Orton. I think this one works for an current Orton. I think this one is better than 67 in my opinion

Lol I’m glad Riddle looks like ass it’s a figure very fitting for him Yeah, the main problem with the Matt Riddle, is that it's a figure of Matt Riddle. Absolutely no interest in the Matt Riddle - or any other figure in E78, in fact. The basic 106 Truth will do for me. I've no plans to get any from E79 either. 78 and 79 are two poor and uninspiring lineups, from my pov. We certainly didn't need another three New Day figs - that's three spots wasted, iyam.

Most of these issues are the result of budget constraints. I feel like we've sort of hit a tipping point. They've been at the $10/20 price point forever, and obviously have trimming costs for some time going back to the change in the basic line. Retailers don't seem to want to move off of those round numbers, and ultimately we've seen that they hold all the cards. It's just the reality moving forward, and these sort of things are probably going to become less common, not more.

I think this was a good set, I got Matt Riddle, Drake Maverick and Naomi. I didn't like 77 except for "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, I had no interest in the rest of the set.
