Lot to digest today... Elite 84 Dont understand the move to give Murphy the awful plastic shirt, when the render showed what looked like it was gonna be cloth, and they gave Roman TWO "shirts" when he's not going to need that to sell. Garza face scan is off, maybe it will look better in person but it looks weird Sheamus and Hardy are good. Legends 10 Beefcake looks AWESOME, and they've given me more of a reason to get both (silver tag titles!!!!) Vader is fantastic, they've really nailed his looks in all his figures love the DDP a lot, and its fantastic we finally got the "BANG!" hands Cena is puzzling to me....I have no issues with him being in the Legends line. But why the original attire he barely wore? its just a weird choice, and then they include the McMahon puppet and modern head???its just a weird choice. i get that the budget was probably eaten up by the other 3 figures, thats bad enough, but nothing really about that Cena "excites" me and its the kind of figure that has a major danger of melting pegs. the new MOTU are cool, i dont collect that line but if i did i'd definitely be excited about these and basics. well... they exist. i am SO happy i've made the decision to axe my collection of almost all basics. In the funhouse match he briefly wore his original gear. The modern head I get but the McMahon puppet was a weird choice. A smaller version of the Smackdown fist would've been a perfect accessory. |

Wonder if Roman has the new part of his back tattoo added?

Probably only pickup the Giant loose from the bay so I can head swap with the flashback Giant. I was wondering in doing the same thing but was thinking if it would look right or this head was going to be too small. |

I'm surprised how much I like the Beekcake with the jacket.
I also love that Jeff has two different back tattoo deco between the standard and chase.
That Vega figure is too good overall. The head scan. The detail on the crown and jacket; good work Mattel.

If they were going to include Cena from the Funhouse match and throw in a random puppet I would have preferred the 80's work-out version. It would fit with the Legends theme and they could have included the unreleased Huskus puppet. Could also have been the NWO version just to be different.

Is that a modern Jeff or some past look that I don’t recognize?

Vader and Beefcake look great. Not a huge fan of the head on Ric Flair basic.

I'm sure the basic body is the same size as the elite so the head should look fine. My only concern is if the skin tones will match. |

Definitely copping Tribal Chief Roman, he's my favorite non-Orton wrestler in WWE right now. Definitely getting Garza and Sheamus. That Vader is a beauty and if I can get one he'll be my fig-fed's World Champion in record time. I'm going to get the DDP and probably head swap it with a longhair DDP. He never wore this attire when he had long hair. |

WWE attire, massive head, ear piece. Give us denim DDP already!! He wore that style of attire at the end of WCW as well and the ear piece comes off....just throw it away, it is a great looking figure. He didn't wear these pants in WCW as far as I'm aware. |

I just realized the hair to the head scan is black and not brown like he had it in the WCW. I kept looking at it like whats different about it |

Some nice looking stuff and thankfully not a lot that I want. Vader, Roman, Rhea and the MOTU figures are all I need. That Sheamus is a really strong figure, but I hope Mattel doesn't let this release delay a release of a "bar fight" Elite Sheamus. Sometimes Mattel's self imposed rules about spacing out figures comes back to bite them in the ass. Vader always tucked his thumb in when doing his V hand, but I figured they would just reuse the Viscera hands. No big deal. I can't believe how much I am enjoying this WWE MOTU line. It seems like a lot of other people like them as well because they have been a hard find at retail for me. All I want is early 90's Hogan. Is that too much to ask? All I wanted was a Beach Blast '92 Sting, and we all know how that turned out.  |

But I want to put a different part on an action figure, get the f*ck of my back about it accuracy police. |

I mean Cena is a bigger legend than anyone else in the series, and the look is fine. Would have been cooler to get something more iconic though. Vader was in Boy Meets World. So yeah. Bet you feel a bit silly now. |

I feel like Brutus the Barber Beefcake has a lot more potential to shelfwarm than John Cena |

It looks like the best way to tell apart the beefcakes moc is by the arms. The pants are mostly covered

I’m realizing I cannot own that ddp. It doesn’t fit with me.
Nice for those who want that era though
