Defining Moments Mankind has been one of my most wanted Mattel figures since the DM line relaunched (in 2014/2015). Having said that though, I've gotta say the figure looks... pretty average to poor, to be honest š -  Those double-jointed elbows look awful... and what's with the "you can't see me" John Cena hands!? WTF. On the plus-side though, the new head is great... but on the whole, the figure looks very "Jakksie" (to quote MDT on YouTube). |

Hereās hoping that if the crowdfund doesnāt reach the Warrior tier (thinking it only get the base tier unlocked) that we may get the DDP and Warrior as part of a WCW defining Moments box set down the line.
Maybe DDP, Warrior, different NWO Savage, and maybe a Hogan or Flair if heās under contract

I was looking so forward to Mankind but it really needed to be released with a part of the cell, or an announce table, or thumbtack bag or something. Just feels like a cop out (not to mention the actual figure inaccuracies).
Shawn is probably my most sought after from this line, Cody is solid, I have no interest in another all pink Bret.

I want to pick up the Mankind eventually. Iāll display it loose so I can just switch out the hands. No biggie for me.

It's funny too...Bill said during Mania that he's wanted to get that Mankind out for a long time. If he wanted it so bad you'd think he'd be able to get something simple correct like the wrist tape. |

Definitely HBK, but I would have preferred it as an Ultimate. All first-run HBKs as Ultimates forever pls.

Only Bret and HBK can qualify as DMās, the other 2 could have fit easily in the regular elite line

Mankind gets those hands cuz of Socko even tho he doesnāt come with Socko and the Just Bring It hands would be better for that accessory anyway. |

Of the four I think I'm looking forward to HBK the most, but that Bret is a sleeper for me.
I've been thinking about getting every figure in the new run, and because I'm a sicko I think I'd like to grab the "remakes" of the original DM figures to fill in the collection. So far I'm counting:
Current UE Ultimate Warrior (WM7)
Current UE Razor Ramon (chase)
Upcoming UE Randy Savage (WM7)
Any others I'm missing?

Only Bret and HBK can qualify as DMās, the other 2 could have fit easily in the regular elite line That's been true of the DM line going back years. It's mostly a way to charge a premium price for more desirable figures. Sting, Jericho, Nakamura, Razor, etc all easily could have been main line too. The only figures that really felt premium during the last iteration were Sting, Savage, and Macho Manicas Warrior (even if the thing ended up getting clearanced to being dirt cheap) |

Even tho HBK with the Texas flag hearts and an Elite Mankind with a dress shirt and brown tights both have been major wants for a long time neither were instant preorders. Iām kinda taking the āletās wait for a saleā approach on these.

HBK is the one I'm most looking forward, but in all honesty I like all four.

I've been wanting that HBK for years. I would bet a million bucks it doesn't have need pads.
The Mankind is also disappointing for me. The lack of wrist tape is a big deal and idk how it got missed. You can't even switch the arms out with another figure to fix it because of the pinless arms.
