Thoughts on today:
• E90 looks decent, no one I really need though. Might get Orton and maybe Bronson at some point. Really wished Bronson came with the North American Title, seems like chances for getting that title are running out of options unless we get it with Gargano on his next elite.
• E91 looks great, probably going to break my wallet. Gonna get Owens, Zayn, Hogan, both RVD’s. Not gonna complain about the second RVD singlet choice since Mania 23 is something new. But I really didn’t love Bills answer of he chose it because he likes the plain white background look on RVD. For a guy that has a million colorful attires I really hope that outlook doesnt hinder us in the future.
• Not loving the Wrestlemania elite series. Austin is same old austin, already have Bret, maybe get AJ if it goes on discount at some point, HBK’s Headscan is kind of a let down. Isn’t that the same scan they used all the way back in 2011? Again feels like corners being cut on what could have been a really solid fig.
• Legends 14 pretty much lines up with the rest of the series, I’ll probably get 2 and skip the other 2. No need for Mark Callous although its cool to see exploration of Undertakers career. Wish they would have stuck with molded shirt for Road Dogg like Hall of Champions. Edge looks awesome.
No news on E92 still. Really dont think that set is going to be pretty but maybe its silver lining for the empty lining in my wallet after E91.

RVD high off his ass saying the Bengals are from Cleveland is great. He seemed to have changed his story about the tiger stripe singlet. In the past, he has said it was inspired by Tony the Tiger/Detroit Tigers because he is from Battle Creek MI, where Kelloggs is located. |

Not gonna complain about the second RVD singlet choice since Mania 23 is something new. But I really didn’t love Bills answer of he chose it because he likes the plain white background look on RVD. For a guy that has a million colorful attires I really hope that outlook doesnt hinder us in the future. When I was watching the video, I was wondering how true that was. I actually wonder if because the main figure is the tiger stripe which is a white base that the chase repaint also had to be a white base. Curious to see what color RVD's torso is actually cast in. |

Yeah I mean that would make a whole lot more sense and I wouldn’t have batted an eye at that as an answer. I hope thats the case here. Otherwise I dont think anyone on planet earth would agree with Bill (post Tiger Stripe release as that was highly sought after) that RVD’s most popular attires were white. |

I'm dissapointed with that Ultimate Warrior. No doubt about it. When I first looked at it I was like "yay, finally Ultimate Warrior UE" then I looked at it closer and compared it to his real appearance.
It seems like they have the wrong colours. The facepaint is innacurrate. There is too much use of green. There is only use of green in his eyebrows surrounded by yellow in his real appearance. There should be red paint in between his eyes instead of a small spot of pink. There are no lighter shades in his hair.
The wristband colours are in the wrong arrangement.
Thinking logically about it, you can't really make a face scan of him without face paint and still have body paint. His body paint dissolved in five minutes in that match. Long before his face paint vanished.
These are premium prices that they are expecting people to pay. It doesent look nowhere near as good as the render, and consumers bought it based on a render that looked hardly anything alike in the final product. It's not good buisness I don't think.
You can't tell me this render looks like the final product. It's very different.

While I agree with some of your points, and I was far more excited looking at the render than the actual photos, the face paint is correct. There was no red or yellow in his face paint for WMVI.  |

E91 is a great set. Mostly lol. Think I’ll get KO, Sami, hopefully both RVD, Bianca, and Theory.

Elite 91 looking NICE! “Hulk Still Rules” Hogan, RVD, updated Sami and Kevin… they’re all must buys for me personally! Thought, knowing how I am, I’m probably gonna buy at least four of KO. When is that set supposed to drop? Or at least, a rough estimate of when the preorders go up? We’re unsure if KO is resigning with WWE or not, and I don’t want another E92 Adam Cole situation to occur with that figure if he leaves… 2005 wasn’t Hulk Still Rules. That was 2002. Similar but different enough where one can’t be passable for the other. Main difference being 02 had the black beard. I see. But didn’t he still wear the “Hulk Still Rules” headband back in 2002 when he had the Hollywood beard, or am I just remembering incorrectly? |

And he didn’t wear the tiger stripes at Heatwave either If it was truly meant to be Bengals inspired, then we can stop calling it tiger stripes and start calling them bengal stripes. |

That’s when he had the Hollywood beard. The fig in E91 is from Summerslam 2005 vs HBK. |

Nice reveals today. I will be getting RVD, both Edges, Road Dogg, Chyna, and Theory.
A little disappointed they used a pre hair transplant Austin Theory headscan though, but oh well.
