Obviously Mean Mark is a more classic character, but this series is a bit recent-heavy. It's not bad, but it feels different than all the other series so far. Maybe they just want to get the DX Army figs in ASAP. Yeah I agree. I would think one each series was enough. Maybe they wanted to round this out before the series gets cancelled for the 100th time. |

It’s not about just Rey It’s about the lack of RA era figures in comparison to all other eras and companies (besides ECW they lackin in that department too but it’s not Mattel fault) Look at Edge, Undertaker, Mysterio, MVP, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, JBL All can be done and aren’t really tapped into One of my biggest wants is an ‘06 return Jeff Hardy. Mattel hasn’t even attempted to fix his tank top either. They have one of the heads they could use (survivor series braided hair from his promo shots) and a new longer haired scan. It would be a fantastic figure if done correctly. |

Maybe they just want to get the DX Army figs in ASAP. I do get what you’re get saying, but “recent-heavy” is relative. The DX Army stuff was 23 years ago, 24 by the time these figures are out. Edge’s look here is either 20 years old as well, or over 21 depending on the regular vs chase. |

The Mean Mark is a cool fig to see but I'm afraid it's going to peg warm hard at retail. A deep cut like this seems to be better suited to a ringside exclusive but maybe it will still move.

I think it’ll sell a few and then hit clearance and in a couple years be going for around $100 on secondary. Hope I see it at retail. |

Just in comparison to the other series. No "classic" superstar or first-timer like JYD or Valentine. Mean Mark is kind of filling that roll, though he's a bit more obscure than we'd normally get. Definitely Legends, though, and again, not a bad series. I suppose at some point (maybe soon) most of the Legends series will look like this, as WWE just doesn't have the Legends deals we've been used to. |

That Edge is great. I want to get both. I could use the red one as a replacement for the awful black Summerslam ‘98 figure in my Brood.
I’m really disappointed in that Road Dogg. No detail on the boots, a rather boring design on the pants, and no molded shirt underneath. 3 Road Dogg elites and every one has been a disappointment. The first elite had two ill-fitting plastic shirts that hung over his pants and covered up the detail. The second elite had the Goldust torso which is too tight for how Road Dogg wore his shirts, and now this one gets a naked torso with the same fabric DX t-shirt I’ve got 5 of. He needs a figure with that Sting/APA torso mold. I would even settle for a fabric DX jersey. I just want one definitive DX Road Dogg that I can display with pride.

Imma just get the road dogg. Might just cut the sleeves off the shirt. It’ll fray like crazy if you cut the sleeves off. Take a toothpick and push the sleeves inside the shirt once it’s on the figure. |

I do wonder why they didn't just release X-Pac, Chyna, hHh and a randomer in one set. Then the next set could be Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, a DX-Themed HBK and another randomer. Seems odd to drag a collection of 5 (6 if we get a HBK) figures out over so many series.

Looks like just Mean Mark for me. Maybe Road Dogg because I picked up the Gunn already.

So wait, we are complaining about DX and Edge but no one had a problem with “literal Warrior’s last breath”?

A lot of peoples perspective are skewed to a degree. 20 years ago is definitely long enough, even 15 years ago is passable. Also, a lot of other people are stuck in that time period 20 years ago, it's still real to them. We just had a john Cena that was featured with bray what 2 years ago? That's worth complaining about, and I saw none of it. |
