Hey Guys
I know nothing has been announced yet but we are for sure getting some reveals at Mania time (I presume) and with Mattel reveals been not so hot lately apart from UE series 9 what can we realistically get?
Would think Elite 86/87/88
Legends 10 MOC pic
Legends 11
Basics 121/122/123
Some Wrekkin figs
Beast Mode.
Would love some big Elite reveals some new legends Hogan some RA guys and gals maybe Jeff Jarrett just something to get excited for.
Anyways what you all think

I can't remember. Is wrestlemania the biggest reveals of the year or is it sdcc? I like when they reveal a lot of upcoming graphics or prototypes not necessarily slotted into a particular wave yet.

I’m really curious to know if they’ll be doing another Comic-Con exclusive like slim Jim macho and mr t.
Also Steve mentioned some ftitl legends coming so it would be nice to know at least one

SDCC is typically the bigger reveals to get those outsider eyes. In the past Mania has had more final/packaged reveals while SDCC has more renders. Edit - If we use renders as a guide for what was new reveals and not publicly known/confirmed, here is the breakdown of each one from last year: Mania showed off Renders of Ultimate Edition 6, Elite 78, 1 fig from Elite 84, Legends 8, DOD 2, Hollywood Hogan Ultimate. SDCC on the other hand showed renders of - Elite 83, Elite 84, Candie LeRae, Mania Ring Carts, Mania Elite BAF, Ultimate Editions (Fiend, Hulk, Edge, and Savage), Mr. T and Piper two pack, Masters, Legends 9 & 10, Fan TakeOver Series 1 |

With SDCC 2021 being postponed I really hope Mattel puts some more effort into this one. I know with pandemic things are not easy but they also have some time to prepare something.
Just because its online now does not mean they should just post pics on wwe.com.

Just because its online now does not mean they should just post pics on wwe.com. It’ll most likely be a semi-scripted YouTube presentation with Sam Roberts, the Garganos, probably Steve and Bill, and maybe some other wrestlers with photos dropping on dot com around the same time. Not sure what else you’re expecting them to do. |

I don't mind Sam's interviews, but in this format everything just seems too over the top. I usually mute and just fast forward to any reveals. Hasbro has done some pretty engaging pandemic era livestreams with reveals and teases from design and brand managers. So there are definitely options just beyond dropping a photo gallery or a pre-recorded upload that is more fluff than substance. |

Unless it’s the design team talking about the figures, just drop the photos on WWE.com. I never have a problem scrolling through the photos on WWE.com, so that’s fine with me.

I think we are all in agreement the Sam Roberts and Gargano's reveals on youtube are so cringy and I know there is not a whole pile else they can do. The Ringside video with Steve and Bill was much better but maybe one of the Mattel guys has a display set up at home they are a big company surely they could think of something. Love the figs they are putting out just something to get fans excited again.

Hopefully the mania reveals are stacked with FITL elites.

I didn’t mind Ryder and Hawkins presentation last year for Mania. If they just let their new elite squad be genuine and not have Mr and Mrs Wrestling be heels and Sam the doofus then it could be tolerable. |

I’m hoping with all my heart to see the elite 87 asuka and elite 88 Trish
I’m also guessing we’ll get to see elite 86 images but who know tbh 😂

Unlike last year they knew there likely wasn’t gonna be an actual convention this year. Wouldn’t make sense for them to make a fig for a virtual convention. Even if there is one they never announce this early. |

As long as they reveal the next series of the Retros then it's all good... I know, I know... they'll definitely save that for this year's SDCC  |

I have found though: if you go into desktop mode, it's usually a LOT better/easier to view these slide-show reveals... |
