I'll be getting Bret, cuz I kind of have to at this point, but god damn. How are his heads getting worse? Has Bill or whoever is designing these ever actually seen Bret?
I don't think Bill does much design work anymore, I recall reading a comment from an interview he did a while back where he mentioned that most of his time is now devoted to budgeting stuff and not actual figure design. I think he works on first time in the line figures and possibly figures of his favourites while all other figure design is handled by others who clearly are not on the same level as Bill. There is a clear difference in quality from figures that were released in the early days of the line when Bill was hands on with all the figure design and figures that have been released in the past few years.

Does Codys weightbelt have the print on the wrong side? Looks like it
And wtf is this Bret headscan?! Is this sort of running gag?

It appears King Flamingo Rollins is missing the back tattoo as well, or it was left off accidentally in the promo photos, which has happened before. I know mistakes are made but I’m also not going to buy a figure that’s got things like that missing on it, I guess I’ll wait for the in-hand reviews to come out. I don’t mind if the attire isn’t spot-on, I usually don’t even notice until someone points it out but he’s had that tattoo since his debut, that shouldn’t be something you miss.

I’m so excited for our first ever Michael Jackson dressed as Bret Hart action figure!

The Bret face looks alright…It’s the hair that’s off. I wonder if Hulk’s shirt has the rules on the back.

I can't unsee Ezra Miller in that Bret head. Biana looks amazing in box! I don't really do autographs anymore, but I'd love to get this signed one day. |

They missed it on his upcoming Ultimate as well. I don’t know what the  is going on with Mattel lately but it’s unacceptable.  |

Like I said, Bill or whoever 🤷 Regardless of who is sculpting these heads, they need some help. I fully acknowledge that I am part of the problem as I will buy Bret figures regardless of what the heads look like, but still. For all my griping, Bianca and the Fink look great! |

It's TIFFY TIMEEEEE!! She looks sooo much better than the one they had on display! I can't wait for her to ship! I wonder why they didn't make the hat pink? Also the hair should be longer but those are minor gripes. This is a great first elite for her! Let's hope there are many more to come and sooner rather than later. I definitely want her MitB briefcase in figure form. She wears a lot of unique gears that would require new tooling and I hope that doesn't sway Hasbro away from making plenty more elites of her. |

You cannot tell me that Bret face isn't the same as LA Knight's.

113 is a GREAT set.
I can't believe no one has commented on Dragon Lee yet. I think it's one of the best Elites Mattel has done in years.

Anyone have any ideas what else they use that khali torso for, other than more khalis? It can't just be a 1 and done can it?

I'm a little disappointed in Dragon Lee, the figure has plain white trunks when it clearly shows on the back of the box that he has designs on the front, just in a lighter white/silver color. Mattel has shown they're capable of doing something similar like they did with the design on E85 Aleister Black's trunks, albeit in black. Mask and jacket look good though |

I really like that Wrestlemania Hulk Hogan more than I thought I would. Also, that rumble Hulk Hogan could make another great custom!!
