I think we know why Edge's bat is now bent...
Because they must have beat the sh*t out of the figures face with it. What happened? That Edge looked decent and had promise in the proto, now it looks like... this.
Mattel needs to contact Jakks and see if they can resize and use their old heads, because i think it's safe to say at this point, Mattel isn't making a 'good' Edgge head. At least Jakks made an Edge that looks like Edge (Let's add HBK to that list too).
At least they gave him a bigger torso, I think? Hopefully it looks better in person.

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!!!

Chyna and Hbk look good but I don’t need them. Don’t want the others or ellering either

I feel like every Edge head scans has always been pretty bad. I guess the RSC 3-1 Edgeheads Edge head would probably be the best Edge head in terms of Edge heads.

I legitimately thought it was Test at first. I had to think back and remember who was in this set. And why bother putting the bat in the package like that? It's gong to be all bent up. SMH. I do think Chyna looks great, and I'm looking forward to finally getting the Paul Ellering figure. I think Goldberg is OK. HBK is cool, I just didn't really need another figure of him. Oh well, the price to pay for a BAF. I think Mattel made the bat like that on purpose. Kind of like the kendo sticks where it looks like the bat has been used and abused to the point where it's bent. I don't know anything about baseball or baseball bats, but I'm pretty sure baseball bats don't bend and instead they only get dents. Or am I only thinking of the metal bats and not the wooden ones? Anyway, I really don't know. Maybe someone could fill in. Baseball bats don’t bend. Not even the slightest

If it looks like this in person, I'll be swapping one of the 3-1 Edge's on. There's a running change with darker hair (Wet Blonde look) on all 3, so I might get another one to do that. Either that, or the Basic 58.

So in theory if I only wanted to complete a Ellering figure I only need Shawn and Edge? It’s hard to tell by the pictures
Edit: Looks like Chyna comes with arms too,

What is the case breakdown? Is it Goldberg x3, Chyna x2, Edge x2, Shawn Michaels x1?

Holy **** that HBK has me giddy!! Unbelievable MIB. Can't wait to see that bad boy in person.
As far as the BAF issue...I kind of sympathize...I keep my figures in the box, and the BAF stuff really interferes with the general look and feel of the presentation. I wouldn't mind the BAF parts being hidden in the packaging since many times it ruins the look MOC.

I’ll be buying all to get Ellering, I want old school version to go with LOD. I only really need/want HBK & Chyna for my collection and will sell Goldberg and Edge.
I don’t get the fuss over the Edge scan, I think it looks great, it clearly looks like him and it’s an expression of his I’m definitely familiar with.
Really great looking series, only downfall for me is the dull paint/design of the Chyna outfit. Real shame because the head it top drawer. I guess they’ll always claim costs but surely one day we can get metallic style paint?!

Edge is one of few guys they can't seem to get right for the head scan (although this one is probably his best so far). Hopefully his UE will look close to the render.

Whoever packed the baseball bat like that should be fired. I’m not joking

Issue with that is when they’ve done it in the past, it’s made it easier for the parts to be taken out and to go unnoticed.
