Was Kross on backorder 3 or something ?was gonna get him and he’s gone i think he’ll be up for preorder 2 shortly because he was at preorder one a few hour after I ordered him, never mind I just looked at he’s back at preorder one. |

Why all the complaining about the RSC John Cena? Even though I collect Elite Cenas, Im going to pass on it but it is still good for the NWO shirt you can put on another figure to make him a NWO member and the jeans body you can use to make the British Bulldog in jeans everybody seems to want.

That Cena has to be the most disappointing exclusive ever. Get ready to see these on every RSC sale for the next 5 years... |

That Cena is awesome. For one thing, plenty of people will buy it for the accessories alone. The nWo Nitro backdrop is awesome and the cloth nWo shirt, hat and belt are all great accessories that could be used for other figures. Beyond that, lots of people wanted nWo Cena to recreate the Firefly Funhouse match, especially after they revealed the upcoming Legends 10 fig. People would have complained if they released it as a basic because there wouldn't have been any accessories. If they put him in the main Elite line, there wouldn't be the awesome custom packaging or backdrop which could be major selling points for a relatively simple street gear figure like this. It might not be the most exciting reveal but it makes sense why they would choose it. And those knocking the quality of the recent Ringside exclusives must have forgot about the upcoming Warrior because it's one of their best exclusives ever. This all could have been accomplished with an nWo HBK instead. This is the first RSC exclusive that I don't even have to think about. |

Would love to hear how an nWo HBK would’ve helped recreate the Firefly Funhouse Match. |

I know it's more accurate to the actual match this way, but I think a full blown custom nWo Cena Outfit would've been better.
Black Shorts, Black(or Black & White) Sneakers & nWo Themed Sweatbands.
But either way, cool that you made a fig like this, and thank you for finally putting a "n" instead of an "N" on the spraypainted nWo World Title. I've had issues with the "N" ever since Elite 16 Kevin Nash. But it's a shame this belt isn't the one the UE Hogan comes with. I know they wrote "Ns" on the actual belt aswell sometimes, but the nWo design looks better with the small "n" & "o" IMO.

I got Cena, Kross, Black(Chase), Undertaker and Wyatt. A bit of a spooky set E85 is.

Only Taker for me - but I'll get him elsewhere. I'm not paying $27.99 plus $18.51 shipping for a mainline figure again.

That Cena is Shield Angle level bad. Great follow up to the body paint Bray Wyatt. Remember when they had must have exclusives? Brutal.
I totally disagree. I think this one of the BEST figures Mattel has ever done. I don't buy modern figures -- but I am seriously considering buying this. Amazing figure.

That Cena is great and can be used for so many things. Love the back drop and plan on using it for a NWO shelf in a Detlof

I don’t mind the nWo Cena. I only wish it had Cena’s unique torso instead of the HHH one again.

I would turn Cena into Bagwell, all you need is a head and barbed wire tattoo

Hey, for those of you who are predicting this goes the way of Shield Kurt... do yinz realize the usefulness of this figure?
You get an nWo cloth goods shirt, an nWo ball cap, and a pair of too sweet hands? Considering how much those parts would cost separately, this figure surely must have value to people wanting to make nWo fixups! Especially once the price inevitably drops.
I dunno, I personally see it like I saw the WM Shane basic. The base figure is nice enough and I want it for my collection, but the undesirability of it combined with the parts used make it invaluable for customs.

I don't need the Cena, but I think it's funny and can totally see why someone might want it. "WTF?! Ringside is saving me money by putting out something I don't want to buy?! How dare they?! Shame on you Mattle!" Who is saying that? Man, There are an insane amount of posts on here complaining about what other users are posting. Man, always somebody wanting to complain about people complaining about people complaining. |

Imagine whining about something you don't have to buy They seem to think the NWO John Cena is the reason RSC didnt get Kama Ok here me out this is just conjecture but I think it makes some sense maybe WWE is really upset that RSC brokered a deal with Mattle to carry the nWo John Cena exclusive I mean we know RSC has a deal with Mattle and also with AEW and maybe Vince McMahon is upset that the brokerage deal to bring out a nWo John Cena exclusive elite took precedence over RSCs ability to adequately stock their warehouses by the overwhelmingly more in demand Kama the fighting machine elite I mean this is just conjecture but does anyone else see this as a pretty obvious reason for WWE to sever their ties with RSC think about it there's not any preorders for WWE stuff up now past the latest date for WWe preorders I think the writing is on the wall this is juts conjecture though I didn't opt to become an admin several years ago but when you think about it it really kinda makes sense. |
