This is the first Walmart preorder that has actually been shipped to me in about 3 years. I'm stunned that it's sitting in front of me right now. The tracking says it shipped from Lancaster, TX. It's a great set too. The High Chief is very impressive. This was a clever way to get his FTITL out since it will probably be a one-and-done figure. I'm also very glad that Rocky Johnson's skin tone has been corrected. This set is coming out at the perfect time with Rock's involvement in the Bloodline story. Cheers to Action Figure Attack and the team at Mattel. |

Got 3 pack today. Gotta say it's a thing of beauty.
High Chief is amazing. For what, like others have said, is likely a one and done figure, they nailed it in one. Amazing figure.
Having the corrected skintone for Rocky makes his figure worth it just for that. Awesome stuff
And it really is the little touches on The Rock that do it for me. I love the watch, and the shirt is spot on. Not every day they put this much work into a relatively unknown street clothes look, but props for them doing so.
I agree, thank you Mattel for this and thank you Action Figure Attack for getting this out to us. Just a stellar set. Everything I could have hoped for.

You know just something I noticed thought.
The top of the box says "WWE Generations"
I wonder if this would be a thing they revisit with, say, Randy Orton? He's the other one I can think of off the top of my head they would do this with now. Wonder if there will be other sets? Maybe the next one shown off at Walmart Collector-Con?

I’m glad they fixed Rocky’s skin tone. The first was comically bad

He's the other one I can think of off the top of my head they would do this with now. Wonder if there will be other sets? Maybe the next one shown off at Walmart Collector-Con? - Bret (Survivor Series 93 or WM 4), Jim (good spot for New Foundation/singles run), Natalya, Bulldog, Harry Smith
- IRS, Bray, Bo, Barry Windham
- Bob Orton Sr., Bob Orton Jr, Randy Orton (this set would warm I think)
- Afa, Sika, Roman, Rosey, Rikishi, Umaga, Jimmy/Jey, Yoko,etc.
- Dusty, Cody, Dustin (if he resigns - would be a good way to get an early 90s WCW Dustin), Sapphire (not that she is related, but she was Dusty's manager and I want a Sapphire figure for WM6)
- Rick, Scott, Bron
- Steph, Shane, HHH, Hornswoggle, Linda (this set will never happen)
- Charlotte, Ric, David
Obviously, some of these people are not signed (and wouldn't necessarily fall under 3 different generations), but if they did 1 a year of family related figures, we have time for them to sign more people (like Ric, Dustin, etc.).
We could get a couple of years out of the Bloodline alone.

Was this era of Rock right before he got the tattoo?

Personally not concerned about The Rock missing the tattoo. It's a weird omission but it doesn't effect the figure for me cause I didn't really need that figure anyways and if I did display it, It would always have the shirt on.
As for the rest of the set. The Rocky Johnson and High Chief figures are really well done, especially Peter Maivia. He's just an awesome looking figure. My only complaint about the set is The Rock figure since there are some attires they have never released him in but that's a minor thing. It's a really well done set.

We’re getting into ridiculous territory with cost cutting. If it weren’t for retailers demanding the price be low. We have figures with half painted dress shirts, unpainted knees, and missing tattoos. This 2008 Jakks already? Jk, but kinda serious…

Got it in this morning. The High Chief is the gem of the set. For what will probably be a one and done they hit it out of the park.

This is a "waiting for clearance" set for me!! Good luck with that. I can’t find Walmart exclusives in stores, let alone find them on clearance. |

Once upon a time if you had made a Generations 3-Pack that had Vince Sr, Vince Jr, and Shane, all in suited attires with Vinny Mac and Shane being from the Corporation era, I'm pretty sure it would have sold, especially if it was the only way we ever got Elite Corporation Vince and Shane figures. And as for the Bloodline, technically the Maivia set IS a Bloodline set, especially now, but if they were to start digging into the Anoa'i and Fatu sections of the family, you'd have so many options for family packs. You could do some wild stuff with that. Imagine if they could somehow swing a MC 3-Pack of Nia, Tamina, and Ava. Probably be one of the lowest pre-sale/made to order sets of all time but I'd friggin LOVE the chance to have an Elite Tamina and ANY AVA AT ALL. (No really, they're supposedly giving us Adam Pierce as a BAF, I'm gonna start a campaign to make Ava Raine the first ever women's BAF) But really, I'd probably buy most of these packs, except for the Orton pack I originally mentioned (which is the only one you mentioned in your list which would actually fit the 3 generations pattern). |
