Paul E and the Headshrinkers/Samoan Swat Team are the only ones I really want from this reveal. I might get Bischoff, but I'd rather wait to see if they do a WCW version later on.

We finally get a WCW Hogan and it's a random street gear look...Why? And what happened to the open elbow pads on the Samoan Swat Team?

so....Championship Showdown. Riddle & Orton. Comes with ONE tag belt. one.
Come on Mattel.
Elite 99
Seth is fantastic....and then you get to the head. Seriously? what is that? It honestly ruins the figure. I can't believe that made it past design.
Riddle is perfect
Brock is hilarious. That would make a great Godwins custom! Could buy both for a different look.
Corbin actually came out great
I like both Boogeymans, might end up getting them
Legends 18
Hogan is cool, much needed. The fact his shirt is NOT "rippable" is the biggest win of the year.
Headshrinkers came out great. Instant buys.
Paul E. is perfect.
RA 3
Undertaker is perfect, that was one of my favorite early RA figures
Austin is a nice surprise, that was another figure I had and have nice memories of. I still laugh at them including the "1" hands with SCSA
Bischoff is a 10/10. Love it. I hope we are getting at LEAST 3 more Bischoff elites after this
Top Picks
Lashley pops in red. Glad I held out on his last couple elites, this one is a nice upgrade
Cena, I've gotta check the thread, I'm pretty sure I asked Steve about this one awhile ago. That shirt is incredible, Must-buy.
Ringside Battle
Its SO awesome we're getting accessory packs now. I'll need that Rey for my Rey collection but I wonder why they went with literally the most boring Rey ever?
Wrekkin RAW Arena is an interesting choice. Not something I need but thats an awesome toy for kids and something we DESPERATELY needed in this line. Is is just a Mattel Creations thing?
Overall some nice reveals

The Bum Ass Corbin head is easily one of my favourite heads from any line ever. The shirt that goes with it is just incredible. Was going to pass on the figure but it became an instant purchase

All I care about here is the Legends wave, but I might grab Bischoff if I see him.

They are playing it real safe with the RA line arent they? "Retailers have demands yada yada, they want big names blah blah blah". Don't expect any midcard talent in that series or any other series other than maybe the odd Flashback figure in a mainlaine elite wave. Happy we are getting Torrie in wave 5, but I am betting her wave mates are Triple H and Kane. Still hopeful Victoria is in wave 6. There seems to be one "risky" fig per wave at least. |

Seeing an RA 9 Austin Elite is wild.
Lesnar in overalls as a figure is way better than I ever would have imagined for some reason.
Will need to get Paul E and Bischoff.

Not them reusing and butchering a Rollins head from SIX years ago…
Good thing the rest of the figure looks amazing, and I’m a Seth Rollins mark, so I buy all of his figures anyway.
Originally wasn’t gonna get E99 Lesnar, but since it’s Cowboy Lesnar, Imma have to grab one now. Also digging that Top Picks Lashley.

Now that I think of it, the Austin should have the sleeves cut off.

Looks like Brock could be used for Godwinns from the ab-crunch down. They'd probably have to sculpt a new upper torso since the Godwinns wore T-Shirts underneath the overalls. Later era heel Godwinns went shirtless with the overalls.

Showdown 12:
RK-Bro: RK-Bro looks great, may go ahead and pick that up. Would be my 1st Battle Pack since I was like 12 yrs old lol.
Alexa Bliss/Charlotte: That Alexa looks awesome, maybe see if I can find that loose on eBay in a couple months. Don't really care about the Charlotte, but it still looks good.
Big E/Bobby Lashley: Another 2 good looking figures, just now need to buy them for myself.
Elite 99:
Riddle: Another good looking Riddle, lots of accessories and a new scooter. Just wish they would make his legs smaller. His massive thighs make it to where you can barely get his leg up for a high knee. It's literally one of his main moves. Besides the bad parts choice for the thighs, good figure.
Seth Rollins: This looks awesome! New knee pad, good attire, cloth coat! Hope we get a UE Rollins in the set with UE AJ Styles, so I can swap a head onto this figure.
Queen Zelina: Another awesome looking figure! Great attire and great headscan! Nothing more to say tbh.
The Boogeyman: I'll just stick to the standard figure for this one. I think recall ever seeing him with the all read face paint look.
Brock Lesnar: Cool looking figure, just not something I need. Maybe I'll grab it if I see it on clearance next year.
Happy Corbin/Broke Ass Corbin: Yet another great looking figure in this set. Love me some 2-in-1 figures, may actually buy 2 so I can get both looks.
Legends 18:
Just Paul E. Dangerously for me. The Hogan/Samu/Fatu figures are looks I don't need or want.
RA Wave 3:
Just Eric Bischoff for me. May eventually get Austin for the shirt and because the pants is an interesting look, but that Undertaker kinda sucks.
Top Picks 2023 Wave 3:
Gonna grab all 3. That Cena is one of the best Cena's ever. Love the formula they've started using for him this past year. Lashley and Ronda both look good too, but Lashley having the Big E side plates is weird. Oh, well, I'll still get it for the cool attire. Never thought I'd have 4 Lashley Elites.

The old scan on Rollins isn’t that bad, but it could’ve maybe been the best Rollins Elite to date with one actually made for present day. Couldn’t they just put long hair on the scan used for E93/Top Picks?

Legends 18 is a great set. The Headshrinkers/Samoan Swat Team and Paul Heyman came out great. All of the head sculpts are really good; and the floral design on the SWT's tights is amazing. Hogan is decent, the smaller torso tends to work with this era of Hogan (1993-1997), he was much smaller at this time than his previous WWF days. Hogan did start to bulk-up again towards the end of his WCW days, around the time he went back to red and yellow, as well as during his WWE days, those figures could use a bigger torso. However, all Hogan's from this point out should have the hotdog tan, it looks weird without it.
The superstars' figures look great. That Rude is really good. I wonder who the other 2 figures in the wave are?

Some terrible  ing choices here, shame on Mattel. They had the chance to finally go with a definitive 1990/1991/1992 Hogan with Payton Power/world title etc and instead come out with that trash?? And the less said about that Taker and Austin the better. Well, it’s Thanksgiving. So I give thanks to Bill and Steve for keeping this cash in my wallet!! |

An NWO/WCW Bishoff would be great. Add an extra head from his earlier announcer days from 1993-1995. |
