I question the decision to revisit Stardust as it was an atrocious gimmick that Cody hated himself. So bad it was actually the catalyst for his indy run, AEW run and his current comeback.

Meltzer actually talked about this on the show this week, he didn’t hate it intially, but once Dusty died, he felt like he could drop it and go back to Cody Rhodes but they wanted to stick with Stardust and that’s where the hate and resentment came from. |

I’m glad for the folks that want those, but my wallet is breathing a huge sigh of relief.

I'm kind of shocked that more people aren't excited for Stardust. We only received one elite figure that was pretty barebones. He had a lot of cool, "toyetic" looks that were never released with more elaborate gear (like the spikes and cape).
I'm sure the main reason why we are getting one so fast is because he was injured so they didn't really have a lot of new looks to go off of.
I get that he didn't like the gimmick, but that doesn't really factor into my decision if I want to buy something. That's for Cody, Mattel and WWE to worry about/hash it out. Kane/Glenn didn't like Isaac Yankem, but I was excited for that figure. I'm sure Kevin Nash didn't like Oz/Vinnie Vegas, but I would buy it in a heartbeat.
With that being said, the rest of the set is definitely a Black Friday/Cyber Monday 4.0 sale pickup if they are still around.
I really only see Roman/Stardust potentially selling out before/during early sales.

I think we will obviously see this set at Mania axxess
It’s good to get double jointed arms Street Profits I just hope Dawkins is a lot smaller
I hope Roman Reigns has a new t shirt maybe the god mode and I hope Roman has the designs on the boots what looked cool and also what he had at wrestlemania 38
I like Lashley so I hope it’s mania 38 attire or royal rumble 2022

People weren’t a fan of the character and it’s from a period of WWE that sucked The first Cody figures being Stardust, a lower quality remake of an AEW attire, and an online order UE that still hasn’t shipped is actually pretty funny and on-brand for Mattel |

I'm sure there are plenty of current looks (which was hampered by being off tv for a large majority of the time) and flashback figures planned. He's being positioned as the #2 guy in the company. |

He had 3 months worth of attires to choose from, some of them were brand new, why did they pick one that already had an AEW figure coming |

I imagine for kids they will sell well. But all are a pass for me. Here is the roster who has never had an elite or hasn't had one in the last 2 + years Chad Gable Tozawa Cedric Alexander Dexter Lumis Dolph Ziggler (tho one on the way apparently) Gallows & Anderson Logan Paul Shelton Benjamin Dana Brooke Tamina Hit Row Humbero Butch Ridge Holland Imperium LA Knight Madcap Moss Solo Sikoa Uncle Howdy Aliyah Tegan Nox Xia Li Paul Heyman Jinder Mahal Both Tamina and Xia Li both have had figures in the last 12 months. Tegan Nox had one a year and half ago Aliyahs figure was just released |

You gotta imagine we'll see a good majority of those guys/girls at Axxess. Gable,Otis,Solo,Imperium, Brutes,Knight,Logan and probably Moss and Hurt Business all seem real likely at this point. I really want some of them but NXT is where I hope they put a lot of the focus in 2023.

I've got enough of Bobby and I'm good with Roman until he gets something different about his attire then just designs on his boots(if that's what it is) but I am looking forward to what the Liv and Stardust will look like.
