In all honesty?
I'm also getting sick of Marvel Attires.
I love that the wrestlers have fun cosplaying. I do. Cosplaying is fun.
But people need to stop expecting them as figures. Even in figures where it's fundamentally ingrained into the wrestler's daily attire like KUSHIDA or Tegan Nox, it never comes out right. We either aren't going to get all the details on it or, if we do, the colors will be wrong EVERY TIME. There are very few examples of them doing these attires justice and I'm pretty sure every one so far has involved REY MYSTERIO.

There was a vote for an UE Warrior?! What were the choices and what won? WM 6 won I believe. The one we have two of already. Who in their right mind would vote for WM6 Warrior?!?!?

Mattel actually avoided making Marvel attires when they had the DC license and many DC attires ended up being made with detail (Batman/Flash Rey Mysterio, Batman/Robin Kofi, Wonder Woman Sasha, Harley Quinn Alexa Bliss, etc)

I voted for WrestleMania XX. Disappointed it didn't win, but i'm glad the 2011 look at least beat out the E&C look.
The final product images so far look great. That's my favourite Christian headscan too, and it comes with the World Title, which i don't have a Mattel version of yet.
Regardless, it's still disappointing that we won't be getting WrestleMania XX, or another big Christian want of mine - his ECW look with the Red/Yellow designs for a long time.

I'm a fan, but the novelty has also worn off somewhat. But I wish they would put less focus on one-off attires in general unless they have already released the more commonly recognized attire for that wrestler. The New Day is always my biggest example - we got a bunch of one-off specialty attires, but they never made the iconic pink/blue or lime green gear that they wore FOREVER on weekly tv and PPV's as Elites. It's starting to feel the same for guys like Gargano - they make the specialty attires (awesome, granted) but don't make his "everyday" gear.

The fact that the only Pink/Blue New Day Elite attire we ever got came without Entrance Gear is the most insane choice ever to me.
They were together, what, six years or so? And they waited till their final elites to release it... and then it was incomplete?!
Granted, I bought those incomplete Elites, primarily because they were the easiest to acquire, but it burns my britches that we never got an appropriate pink and blue New Day set. It's bad enough that it makes me want to buy their Eaglemoss figures just so I have a decent representation of them.

I feel the same way! We finally get this color way and they don't even come with their entrance attire. It really grinded my gears

Apparently someone has listed a pre-ordered Fan Takeover Christian with a "confirmed" date of April 13. I don't know what to make of this...

On eBay, yes. Again, I don't know how or where they got their information (or figure for that matter), but I find this hard to believe.

WM 6 won I believe. The one we have two of already. Boo! And we have 3 or 4 of it including Basics. This is disappointing. I was hoping for Summer Slam 89. We need that iconic look in Elite form.
