In 2012, Lesnar signed in March/April and we had his elite by December. So I'd expect AJ by at least Christmas time.

I saw the figure at my TRU today. Great figure, but I only need the head to make a Mattel version of Marvel's Nuke, so I passed and will pick it up another day. Please post that on here. I'd love to see that. Really cool character.

Hello everyone!
With the recent releases of the new HBK elites, my mind wondered to Taker. Yes, there have been a TON of Taker elites over the years. But there are some attires and appearances that haven't been made yet. If I missed any, let me know in the comments. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Always good to hear stories like this. Good job to you. I'm sure they are appreciative.
To share my own story, one day I got a text from my mom saying she found an "error figure" for $10. I told her that if she didn't mind, grab it and I would check it out. Well it was no error. Someone had swapped a basic HHH head and replaced it with a Heyman. No doubt they made a custom COO HHH. I still have the figure somewhere but we haven't opened it or even used it as custom fodder.

I'm only allowed 2? Geez, okay um...
1. WM 32 Heritage Undertaker Why? Undertaker has been my favorite forever. I loved E18 Undertaker, and was waiting for the Phenom/BadAss hybrid, as that was my favorite look. It was cool to see him return to this style after losing the streak, so I was happy they went with WM 31, though I'm still hoping for one with longer hair, similar to WM 20 or 21, or even from his most recent matches with the Wyatts or Shane. There is a new Taker scheduled for E45, I believe, so we'll see. The fabric coat was also a nice bonus.
2. E36 Ambrose Why? A big Ambrose fan, this figure is great. I know it is a repainted he-who-shall-not-be-named, but I think it really fits the character and is fun for play. Similar to Taker, I don't have E41 Ambrose, so he may become my next favorite if he's as cool as his predecessor.
Sorry, I know you said one or two but...

How did you get that Taker head on? Does it fit or do you need to crack him open? I only ask because I would really like to make that! He looks great. Jakks RA, Havock Unleash and many R3 fit on Mattel's figures without any modifications. Jakks TTL, BCA and some R3 need to be hollowed out to fit. Thank you! A found a cheap Havoc online. Hoping I can get it on pay day.

The one I can't pull the trigger on is the RSCE Cactus Jack. He's like $250 from what I've seen

I am "Raw" Right now, Punk and Orton are feuding for the WWE, Ambrose is feuding with different people for the IC, like Kozlov, Barrett, and Matt Hardy.HBK and Sting have a rivalry. And Undertaker is on a hiatus after a program with Stone Cold.
My brother is "Smackdown" He has HHH, Batista, and Sheamus feuding for the WHC, Cena and Reigns fighting for #1 contender, and Bryan defending the US against Kane and Y2J.
While it has ended (for now), Undertaker vs Ambrose was a long feud that i had a ton of fun doing. I also did Punk vs Mankind, and Sting vs Orton.

Taker would be easy for Mattel. Maybe the WM21 Heritage head onto the WM31/E18 body. Paint the silver pendants down the leg.

Probably the Bray Wyatt torso. As far as the arms, I guess the Basic will do. Legs, maybe a cross between Lesnar, Cent, and Gallows?

I don't know my brother's half of the card, so my "RAW Brand" matches are:
*Hardcore Match-CM Punk vs Mankind
*King of the Mountain Match for the IC title- Kozlov(c) vs Ambrose vs Tatsu vs Sin Cara vs Wade Barrett
*Sting vs Shawn Michaels
*WWE Championship- Orton(c)vs the Rock vs Brock Lesnar
*Stone Cold Steve Austin vs the Undertaker

Anyone want to experiment for me? I'm thinking APA Bradshaw hair on the WM 32 Undertaker. I'm planning to do it myself once I get another Bradshaw.

WM 32 Undertaker.
Yes, I know it's a repaint of E18, but he's quickly become my favorite.

I'm more a diet soda fan. That being said, I went to the movies a few weeks ago, and they had one of those touch screen Coke machines. I had cherry vanilla Coke zero, and wow, that was the best Coke I had.
But my true love is now and forever will be, Diet Mountain Dew.

Please post a picture! I would love to price match these. In my area, they're a TRU exclusive but I shouldn't have problems.
