-Piper is in the exact attire and era I wanted, yet something about it is off to me. I'll have to see it in person to be sure, but right now I'm leaning towards a no.
-Nash is PERFECT. The gear, the head sculpt, the tee shirt is exactly what I wanted. -I still would have preferred pre-DX NAO under the camp gear for Billy (and later Road Dogg as well) but the white gear with black boots does pop. Might actually display him that way at first, until the rest of the DX Army members are released. -The JYD's are cool. I like the colors, and that they come with the crown. Doubt I'd pick one up though. -The only figure in the Basic or Elites sets show I'm really interested in is Candice, and shew looks great. Really happy I pulled the trigger on that preorder. The double jointed arms on Apollo are cool though. -The Bret might be the first Masters figure I buy. It's superb looking. Yeah, the entire figure seems to be off, except the shirt. The hair needs to be much lighter, almost blond. The kilt needs some blue in it, and the tights need to be a darker shade of blue - Piper never wore light/baby blue tights. -Piper is in the exact attire and era I wanted, yet something about it is off to me. I'll have to see it in person to be sure, but right now I'm leaning towards a no. The kilt is off. It should be a darker red with blue in it, which is what he wore almost exclusively around that time (it's even on the shirt in the background).  Agreed. They need to lighten the hair too. And change the color of the tights. |

Why did they give Billy Gunn black boots? Either make the base figure look good and accept that the accessories won’t match or don’t give him accessories that clash with the base figure in the first place. This is a $20 figure of a wrestler signed to the competition that we’ve only gotten 2 other elites from in 11 years (one of which I never saw in stores ever because it was a Target exclusive and they are abysmal at stocking product so I don’t have it) and we may not get another one. Not only that, this is a DX Army figure when we don’t have a single other DX Army figure to match it. So why not give him the correct color boots because he has no one to display with anyway. Honestly, they could have gone with “The One” Billy Gunn or “Chuck & Billy” Billy Gunn. Either of this would have been better than DX Billy with goofy-looking boots. If it was Seth Rollins, I wouldn’t mind because there is always another Seth next year. I can skip it and get a better one. This one is from over 20 years ago. Why? They did. And the rest of DX are in the next three sets  |

Nothing I honestly want. Might pick up Billy. Still don’t get the big deal over having the lips on his crotch. I don’t think parents would honestly complain. I wish they had used the LOD boots.

Almost every single line in it can be refuted, but the best part is where he cites not having the rest of the DX Army (that's already noted to be coming down the pipeline in the next several Legends sets) as an argument against making Billy Gunn in that attire, then in the very next breath, suggests a "Chuck & Billy" attire instead, in spite of the fact that no Chuck Palumbo Elite exists to match that. God, I love WF. |

Was hoping they’d change the base color to Braun’s pants on the elite

I just wanted the Braun Elite to have the attire the Basic does. Someone remind me when Braun wore the shirt the Elite comes with. I can picture it, I just can't pinpoint it. Lumis low key the best fig shown off today. Spot on. It's a very nice Basic. If you don't need the poseability of an Elite, it's the easiest way to get an early jump on adding him to the collection. |

So many pictures of the Legends and basics figures, and then there’s like 2 each for E87 lol. I think I’ll definitely pick up Asuka, Candice, and Santos. Having a bald Braun doesn’t mean anything to me, not a fan of Apollo, and same for Otis.

I will get the Legends as well as the FB Warlord. But the hair color on Piper makes him look a little cartoonish. It really needs a wash or at least a lighter color. Definitely looks like someone from an 80's hair metal band. |

No retro reveals? Really hope we are blown away by what is revealed at CC, and hope it's not back to where they left off.

They did. And the rest of DX are in the next three sets Everyone else is upset he's in white. I'm upset they left the logos off his boots lol. I love this attire! Same, this wasn’t my first choice but it’s a great attire and the missing kiss logos on the boots make me a lil sad. They wouldn’t be seen with the camo pants on so it just feels like cheapening out to me |

It's the entrance vest he wore at SummeeSlam 2020 against The Fiend |

So disappointed in that Legends set...That era of Piper needs a darker kilt with blue in it. He wasn't wearing a bright red one at that point (or at least not very often). Another later-98 Billy attire? What is it going to take to get an early-mid 98 Billy? If they wanted him to have black boots, why not have given him the black or blue long tights that he wore in 97 and early-98? And instead of Kevin Nash being the chase (either that attire and all red, or 2002/3 versions), we get JYD as a chase? When did JYD wear dark blue? And who is going to need both, outside of completists? You want JYD to sit on shelves for 2 years again? Making him the chase was the only logical choice |

Dexter Lumis will be a definite pick up.
Maybe MotWWEU Sgt. Slaughter, Jake Atlas, and Chelsea Green if I can find them conveniently.
Guess the Billy Gunn figure is evidence that these figures and waves are planned, executed, and produced years in advance. He has been with AEW for nearly 2 and a half years!!
Unless there has been some side deal?
