Coming this Spring to Mattel Creations.  Sweet. The Graham, Race and Gorilla figures are amazing. Glad we don't have to wait until late summer of the fall. I’m so hyped. Something seems the smallest bit off with Harley’s hair? Maybe it’s too poofy or too dark? Idk, should be a simple fix. I’m really hoping Bill and Steve can push to get the Road Warriors signed because they would fit great in this line for their early NWA all black attires. |

So I was at the diner eating lunch when this was on so I had the volume off and this was all I was able to do screen shots of. Is the Graham/Race set it’s own thing or is it packed with Monsoon and Ali? Because I don’t want/need another Ali figure, but I wanted two Graham/Race set.   Packed together in the box shown in the second picture above, the one with Ali and Monsoon on the front. On the other side of the box is a black and white drawing of Race and Graham. You don't want Gorilla? |

This set is great, you pretty much have three figure of the year candidates. Nothing against Ali, but I wish there was another 1970s star in the set. The Road Warriors would be great. Who would you pair them with? Arn and Tully come to mind first for me, but having the Powers of Pain on the other side of the package would be cool. |

I know the first set says from the 1970s but I def see them doing an 80s set too. An updated Arn and Tully would be great or maybe Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin to go with the new Gordy? |

The only thing that sucks about the reveals is waiting until November for CC5

You don't want Gorilla? No I don’t want another Ali and I thought these were UE’s at first which would be more expensive. And I do want two of the Graham and race figures. So if they were two separate 2-Packs I would have gotten 2 of the Graham/Race and 1 of the Gorilla/Ali. And if it was an UE 4-Pack I felt like I would have to settle for just one set. But seeing they’re Elites I might be able to swing for two sets. |

that Harley and Graham are awesome. They shouldn't have packed the other stuff in there. Nobody would buy those other 2 if they weren't in the 4 pack.
steamboat also kinda sucks btw. with that long torso and tiny head. And Imperiums too pale
Dibiase might be good since he's one where they've kinda messed up all his elites with that skinny torso. Kinda like they have with elite Pipers. So i can see the coliseum version being the best one

I could be wrong, but isn't the CC collection moved to 4 sets a year? Wouldnt Ted and Ricky be more towards summer instead of fall?

Are the attires for Race and Graham based off a match they had?

Holy crap.
Never thought I'd see a territory line, but here we are.
Gonna need that Imperium, although I do hope by the end of it we get more than just the bare bones figures. Also, I hope we get a Gunther ultimate to match.
I'm starting to warm up to the idea of the CC line. I may have to bite the bullet and start digging in there. Legends aren't usually my thing but I dunno, I like some of these.

Not to back track on the comment I made earlier but how would you guys feel about a set of Road Warriors from the very early 80s like studded vests annd gauntlets instead of shoulder pads? They were very Rob Halford-esqe which I loved. Just a thought 🤷♂️.

I personally dont like that cloth suit, it looks kind of thick to me.
im not going to complain about it though because steve and bill gave us the plastic suited dibiase that i was asking for for years and that was awesome for them to listen to some of the fans.
I would love to see an ultimate plastic suit one day, although not for everyone maybe but i would personally love a plastic suited dibiase with ultimate edition articulation one day.
Anyway, pretty cool showing today. Looking forward to wm reveals.

Anyway, pretty cool showing today. Looking forward to wm reveals. Plastic suits are great because they always looks perfect. It's just you need two figs of the same character: one in ring gear and one in the suit. For a megastar like M$M that's no problem for me. |

Is it just me, or does Harley's figure remind anyone of John C. Reilly's character, "Happy Jack", from Gangs of New York?  |
