I’d like to see a better render of HBK face ... looks cool in box but ![???](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/huh.gif) If face isn’t good not interested Want the BLUniversal Title .... so chucking Goldy up for sale half price 2 minutes after opening Nothing else interest me .... but Chyna does look well done just a shame for any Moc collectors Rocco is in there pretty Goofy lookin Never know Ellering could take off like JJ Dillon in value allot Road Warrior Fans out there and extra Nostalgia with Animal’s passing speculation alone might make the entire set a value buy

I see they removed any specific WrestleMania: Hollywood branding from it as the WrestleMania Elite set packages always have the theme of the next Mania.
I know it was a given that it won’t be in LA. I just really dug that look, feel and logo.
The WrestleMania font with old school gradient looks awesome.
I’ll be getting Edge.

I am so all over with this set. I was excited when they were announced but with how plentiful last year’s was, I didn’t feel the need to preorder this year. I don’t really need any of these but Chyna, HBK, Goldberg and the BAF all look really good to me.
I wonder if Edge turning out this way is an homage to making Mick Foley in the same match look wet in last year’s set.

I was just reading the replies to the moc pics of the Mania elites on Instagram and the disconnect between this board and other places is startling. People are actually upset they made a build a figure and I just don’t get it People are letting their feelings take precedence over market realities. The truth is maybe 1% of the wwe mattel market would pay $20 or more for Paul Ellerig. Therefore he has to be a build a figure and that 1% needs to pay $80 or more so that it works for both the producer and consumer. If he was part of the line the 1% would be happy and Mattel would lose a LOT of money on him. If he was a chase the 1% would be equally mad. In short, if you want someone that niche to be released...pay up!!! No like they’re mad that Chyna has BAF parts in her box, like just shut up, do y’all not know this is practically standard in every line except WWE

Last year the BAF stuff was more discrete. That being said, I’d be equally amused to see someone photoshop a post match picture from Mania X-7 with Chyna holding up Rocco instead of the championship.

If true that hbk is 1 per case then that makes me slightly more interested

I like the HBK, but I may pass (love the Ultimate) and use an old BAF legs.
Edge looks fine to me. Might put that head on the Target camo Edge, add the Rated R WWE title, and call it a day.
Disappointed Goldberg has that head again. But I need that blue title & the BAF pieces, so it is what it is.
Chyna looks great. Didn't think I'd buy another since I have the DX one, but I do need a Rocco. So here we are.
Now someone go find me MOC of T/Piper...

I feel like for the Ellering’s LOD head to be more authentic, it needs a pair of sunglasses. Maybe the ones that came with the Boss Man flashback?

HBK is a work of art - will definitely be picking him up.
Chyna is pretty cool. The other two are garbage.

I thought the same thing. That looks like Test not Edge. If it wasn't for the Paul Ellering I would just get Michaels and Chyna who both look great. Goldberg doesn't have enough differences to need that many different ones of him. I already have a few. Oh well guess if anyone needed Test they can use that Edge it will work.

Edge’s head looks terrible but I’ll be buying it to swap the head

I think it's a really good set.
Chyna looks great, even if the color is slightly off. They constantly mess up purple/pink so I'm surprised it's not more off tbh.
Goldberg is overdue for another modern fig and he comes with the first blue belt so that's a plus. The beard on the render did seem to look better but hard to tell for sure without seeing better pics.
HBK looks fantastic. The entrance gear is top notch. His figs seem to hold value so I'd imagine this one will be sought after a few years down the line.
Edge looks fine. We can barely even see the sculpt to truly judge it. I'll wait for better pics.
Overall great set.

The only reason Edge has a larger torso is because they used the Austin in jeans body. I can guarantee that he won't have a larger torso on his next elite.
