The only one the doesn’t make sense to me is another Big E. All the rest sound great. A mustached Orton with RKBro shirt sounds awesome.

I think im just at that point where its going to be super tough to get excited about elites based on the current talent available to Mattel.
The current roster either has been mostly released already (we go through waves of a ton of Seth, AJ, New Day, Balor releases seemingly at once until theres oversaturation), and the ones that haven't aren't guys i'd jump to go purchase (Madcap Moss, Omos, Veer, Boogz, Holland).
The legends roster seemingly has depleted over the years and the guys who could cover a bunch of era's and looks are the ones sorely missed the most (Sting, Jericho, Angle, Big Show, etc...) At this point the hope for new legends lies in guys like Jarrett, Carlito & Steiners but based on the past im not holding my breath. More RVD's would be great while he's around.
And I don't watch NXT 2.0, outside of Bron Breakker, I couldn't tell you another guy on the roster let alone look forward to a figure of one.
UE's are going to have to save the hobby for me because there's a lot more guys yet to be released there.

Yes I'm moving more into UE and far less interested in Elites.
I won't be getting the upcoming Eddie elite as it's been strongly hinted that there could be a UE Eddie coming up.

I think they messed up a bit there. If the Faarooq is indeed his Asad look, then that should have been thrown into the Legends line, and the Acolytes gimmick should have been an Elite. Keep the obscure bad-sellers to the more limited exclusive lines and release the more known looks on the main lines. You'd think that'd make sense. Considering Legends are now shipping in full cases instead of mixed I think putting Acolyte version in there instead is a better choice. |

Cody Rhodes back in the line this quickly has to be a repaint. Maybe a Dashing Cody. Or could be something simple like him in a suit.

I’d be down for Elites of Bron, Melo, Toxic, Nikkita. I’d take them over guys like Madcap and Ridge |

I’d take them over guys like Madcap and Ridge I would have elites of Tony D and Carmelo hayes and Grayson Waller over ridge, Madcap but I think elites of Omos and Boogz will be cool . Tbf tho we didn’t get elites of new day for ages New days last elites was 78 and AJ was Elite 77 so I wouldn’t mind elites of new day and AJ with double jointed arms I know we got AJ in jeans but I mean actual attire wouldn’t mind an Updated AJ |

Plus it’s good to get smaller double jointed arms in the black skin tone. |

I think Tony D's gonna be a pretty popular Elite when he gets one, yeah. After Bron he's probably the biggest standout of the new roster.

What is the line up for elite 96? It's not up for pre order yet and I can't remember if it was officially released or just rumors.

I have a feeling I'm gonna be getting Mandy Rose, despite the fact that I already have the last Mandy. Her look is so different now I can see me getting this one as an update.
Xia Li as a basic wounds me and I really hope there is an elite coming shortly after. I don't think a basic is going to do her any justice, especially with the state of women's basics lately.
Cody seems like a hell of a rush but they'll probably just do a full parts reuse and make him, well, basic. The most they might do is make a new head but I doubt it. It'll probably be like when they made tha first John Morrison basic after his return and it was just a true fx version of an old head. (I think that's what they did, my memory is a bit foggy) I have no need for any Cody basic, not when the AEW Supreme figure is coming out and features the exact same character as his WWE one.
