You're the first one I've seen bring this up. Is it a widespread opinion? is that sarcasm because everyone has been complaining about that torso on hogan figures for at least a year now. I understand the issue with the torso, but it doesn’t bother me at all since I display with full accessories. I’m more bothered by the switching from tan and non tan Hogans. |

You're the first one I've seen bring this up. Is it a widespread opinion? is that sarcasm because everyone has been complaining about that torso on hogan figures for at least a year now. Correction  We've been complaining about this damn Sheamus torso since the original Hall of Fame Hogan which this is a repaint of (minus the double jointed arms). Then we complained and brought the same issue up when we got the Defining Moments NWO Hollywood Hogan that was canceled. This has been known for years and it was finally corrected with the UE, then made worse with the elite flashbacks. Poor Hogan elites look like a kangaroo with thick legs, a torso that doesn't fit his crotch and gorilla arms. We also said the same thing about Flair. The UE was corrected, but then his elites get a shredded torso. Both Hogan and Flair were flabby dudes, even at their prime they were still full looking. Steve has said that he's mentioned this to Bill before, so Bill is well aware. It's a choice for whatever reason to keep using the Sheamus torso. We've also mentioned using the Kane torso, but Steve said it causes some height issues and I think the crotch piece didn't fit. I think if we're getting pre-97ish smaller Hogans, the Austin torso would be a better option or a new torso all together. This is Hogan, so they'll make use of it regardless. I hope something is done. It's not only us giving feedback and complaining, I've read plenty of Instagram comments saying the same thing. All in all, I'm surprised brother Hogan himself hasn't complained about them or wanting his figures to look even more massive. |

At least it could be tan. Not all of us display figures on the shelf with their shirts on. Some people photograph them, pose them etc... Some figures might not look right next to their counterparts imo. I personally don't want this figure, but I feel for everyone who does. I've wanted some of the last elite Hogans, including the RSE Wolfpac, but will not purchase them because they're not done right. I'll get the UE's. I still believe to this day that the nWo UE Hogan is a really hard figure to top. It's a fantastic figure, but an example of how Mattel executes certain figures. |

I'm sick of this spread sheet thing, how many Hogans will be ruined by it.

Oh I know, and it sucks, but until bill secedes this is how it will be, cause if Steve can't get him to change no one will. |

I hate that the basic Orton figures are so short once they changed the basic articulation. Especially when that two pack the Riddle is so tall. lol if the Orton figures were scaled correctly I would buy those two sets. But I will probably pass because of their height issue. So it looks like just the Hogan, Headshrinkers, Paul E, Bischoff and the E99 Rollins and Corbin for me out of these reveals.

Will the upcoming Austin go with the Paul E for Dangerous Alliance era?

The legends set is the best set ever
I like Ronda & Cena
Elite 99 is very well done.
Bischoff looks great.

Ruthless Aggression line has been a disappointment for the most part. They said six series and that’s 4 revealed. We know Torrie is in Series 5, so that leaves five figures. I assume we’ll get Kane, Triple H, Stephanie, Orton, and Edge as the other five based on how things have been going. Hollywood Rock and Goldberg are also possibilities.

Will the upcoming Austin go with the Paul E for Dangerous Alliance era? Yes, it can work. Though the Paul E figure is more from his 1990 run with the Samoan Swat Team, and the Austin figure is from late 1991, neither changed their look much from then till they were a part of the Dangerous Alliance. Steve was still wearing the shorts tights with longer hair at the beginning of the Dangerous Alliance run, it wasn't until later in the groups run when he cut his hair and started wearing the trunks.    |

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? Pretty sure the idea was to capture his maniacal laugh. Not saying using the old head succeeds there, just that that's why they wouldn't go with the E93 head. |

When i think of taker in jeans i always think of them being in faded light blue.
This one is quite flat.
Would be great if the final product is similar to the hhh in jeans.

I don’t really like how the RA line is based mostly off Jakks attires. While I like some of them, others are super bland. That Taker is as bare bones as could be. Also, would have preferred a jorts Austin rather than camo pants. Bischoff looks flawless though, I like they added the extra head.
