I'd buy an Elite Mojo.

Crap like this is why I cancelled my network subscription. Seems I made the right call.

No, because if I did, I'd just return it to the store without opening it.

Am I crazy or does the face not really look like her?

DM Flair and the exclusive elite Samoa Joe. I want a modern Elite Flair but I just keep passing it up at $25. Heck, even at the current sub-$20 Amazon price I can't do it. And as for Joe...I'm trying to be Joe complete, and I have all his other figures, but it's hard to justify this one.

So you're saying you want Thinn Balor? Ha ha ha. Thanks, I'll see myself out now.
(Seriously, doesn't look like the fat torso to me. I'd pay good money for abs like that.)

I'm still not happy with any Triple H figure that Mattel has made, not counting Network Spotlight Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Almost all of them are way, way too ripped. That Summerslam basic is more authentic but that torso is strangely shaped IMO. For now, I've still got a Jakks RA figure as my primary Triple H, so if Mattel can make a new Attitude Era HHH that doesn't completely exaggerate his physique I'd totally buy it.

Shawn Michaels from the first wave of 2-packs (bundled with Chris Jericho).
I was gonna use the switch to Mattel from Jakks to kick the collecting habit, but I decided to get Shawn since he's my all-time favorite. Needless to say, I didn't stop collecting, and here I am years later with an army of Elites and 20+ Mattel Shawns...

The Vader-body D-Lo actually was pretty cool on its own. Just when you put it with other figures it looked wildly out of proportion; suddenly he was practically the biggest guy on the roster. Perfect as far as I'm concerned. I think the last D-Lo I got was a super-fat BCA that used Vader's body. I loved that figure, honestly.. Definitely preferred the NoD one a few years earlier but still had alot of fun with that one with the Vader body. Ya know D'Lo is a big dude.. I think a solid 6'2" 275lb.. Not Vader but still.. I actually think this Elite is a tad skinny.. Not a big deal tho.. Just rambling.

They will absolutely get Flashbacks unless they pull a Hogan and get fired. ...not necessarily - a lot will depend on how long their current WWE deal is for: if it's only a short-term thing/a year, we might not get Flashback versions... Mattel seems to prefer Elites of current looks first (RVD, Dudleys, Rhyno...). Hopefully they'll stick around a while though... I think we'll see another Jeff singles-run too. Well, I COULD be wrong, but I feel pretty confident that Mattel won't drop the ball on this one. I agree they'll likely do current looks first though, and they do make some odd choices, but they've gotta know that there's a big demand for classic Hardyz. I'll bet they're working on 'em already, and will make sure to get them out before their contracts are up. The only way I see it not happening is if it's something totally outside Mattel's control.

So, Mattel is now offering SDCC exclusive preorders for at-the-show pickup, but there's no WWE item yet - just Wonder Woman, Mega Blox, and Cars. Doesn't really mean anything since Shockmaster wasn't available for preorder last year, but it makes ya wonder... shop.mattel.com/shop/en-us/ms/sdcc-collectibles/

I love the Jakks Jimmy Wang Yang. It's one of the few Jakks figs I still have on display. I'd love a Jimmy Wang Yang figure, honestly.

I'd love to see more gesture-specific hands. Gimme a Flair that can do that strut!
As a kid though, I probably would have hated it since it's so situation-specific; I'd just have wanted regular hands.

I don't care who it's with, as long as Vince eats a burrito.

Nope. I've got enough Reigns and Cenas and Ambroses, which is who'd be in those spots if it weren't for Flashbacks.

Agreed, Orton makes the most sense. Still wouldn't buy it though.
But looking at that photo they used, I thought for a sec Ted DiBiase Jr. was wearing Orton's trunks.

Had to preorder blind on D-Lo and Shamrock. Jericho sounds great but I wanna see it first.

The Mountie! He's handsome, he's brave, and he's strong!
But I'd settle for the Quebecers, who I don't think were ever made as figures by anybody.
