I'd love one and you can bet that mattel will be cranking out as many Stings as possible. Sting is money right now and every generation of him is going to sell so no doubt there will be a basic, battle pack, elite, etc as quick as they can pump out. Mattel would have got straight to work on one.
I'll definitely grab one when it comes out. Perhaps he will be elite with a molded plastic coat. Otherwise, he might have a shirt. I dont see him coming with both. Id prefer they opted for a cloth coat and forgot about the shirt. Even if other figures in the set suffer like E32 bryan caused.

Well if you count him coming back into the rumble this year after being eliminated and elminating Punk from the rumble and the whole company, then he is tied with Michaels. If you count his eliminations as Yankem (which I dont) then he is ahead. I think the rumble would be a good way to let him disappear for a small amount of time and come back bigger and better. He definitely needs to remask, thats why they kept it in the Authority's office the whole time, but the way in which they do it is challenging, the rumble is probably the easiest. Commentary did say Kane loses power too, I mean of course he loses the director title but he could easily be appointed a better role as GM or whatever. But hey, they rarely ever acknowledge or stick to things they say on commentary so it doesnt matter either way haha. I didn't realize he was that close. They should make a big deal about that this year then. For sure. Thing is he has been so close for so long but it seems like they have tried to protect michaels record. Kane has coasted on barely any eliminations for the past few years. He needs to break it since Roman destroyed his other record. Kane has to be the superstar with the most rumble records, except ever actually winning. Which is a real shame.  I think this coming rumble would be like number 18. And Im guessing they are going back to 30 men. Kane is the number 40 entrance in history. |

Id say its more likely going to happen at Mania which Im excited for and glad I have my ticket already!
They could easily fill time between now and then because neither seem like they will be on TV each week given what has happenned. Nothing will happen at TLC, maybe an encounter somewhere near rumble but not let them get in the ring until Mania. Could easily stretch it out Id say.

During the match last night they mentioned how if The Authority loses, then Kane loses his power too. In that case, I see Kane taking off till Royal Rumble and returning during it with the mask. Maybe he can finally break HBK's elimination record, he doesn't need many more to do so does he? I think Kane has 35 or 36 eliminations and HBK has 39. I'm positive on HBK but not sure on Kane's exact number honestly. I would assume, just by default, we'll see Kane pass the mark this year or next. I like the idea of keeping Kane away and then brining him back behind the mask for the Rumble.

He seems like the best candidate at this point. Itd be random to put sting in the role. There is really nobody else there unless they used Vince again. They just might use Vince. But I hope they use Kane. I don't know what he could do if he was disbanded from them. Maybe join Wyatt? I dunno lol Eww, I hope not. TBH, Id be happy for him to go back to normal competition and drop the corporate get-up with the losing streak lol. |

Haha only you would know I was secretly thinking and hoping for that. The thing is, corporate Kane is now in a very awkward situaion. He really needed the authority to stay around and rebel against them to go back to the mask. It will be interesting to see how they handle his return to the mask, because surely they dont intend to keep him unmasked. Though given how much they have made him lose this year, my faith is not completely with them to handle him properly. Indeed. We'll see I suppose. I'm thinking he might remain in charge for a while though. He seems like the best candidate at this point. Itd be random to put sting in the role.

The real question for me is, who takes power? We've become so used to having some kind of figure in control, itd be seemingly bizarre without any. It doesnt seem likely Vince would step back into the spotlight. Corporate Kane? It said HHH and Steph lost their jobs, not him. Haha only you would know I was secretly thinking and hoping for that.

My favourite ever Title. Used to have one from around 2003/2004 but eventually sold it. They definitely scaled it down over the Years though which I didn't like. True.. But the replica retains its original size... Its freakin' huge! Thats the dilemma! The thicker deeper detailed plates are always WAY better than the 2mm versions. But damn, the WWF logo is such an important part. If only we could have both in the one version. This has always been why I have hesitated in getting the attitude era belt. Thought Im happy with my WHC and WM30 WWE Championship. Shame, sounds like the 4mm version isnt available anymore. Thats why I was getting confused and had to ask. To me, there is little point in buying the WWE version in 2mm as its the worst of both worlds. The new WWE cast versions are nice, im surprised WWE hasnt stuck with a 4mm version of their own like they tend to be doing with all their belts since the switch from Figs Inc. It doesnt make sense that this belt is the exception to the rule and that it is back to 2mm. I keep seeing the big gold on sale, and its honestly going to be very tempting around black friday because thats where the biggest belt savings are. That was when I bought my current WHC belt a number of years ago but Id love to upgrade to the new one. But I need it releathered. I cannot take one with the red backing. Its terrible. Im currently considering whether to cave and upgrade (and change the strap) but not sure what to do yet.... I know what you mean. I didn't want to get it at first either until I saw videos of it on YouTube. I was sold at the thick plates and the very sharp stamping. Sell the 2mm shallow stamp Big Gold that you have and just get the next gen 4mm one, then get it releathered. You won't regret it. Just look at the photo I posted of it side by side with the old 2mm one. Its a lot of difference! The detail on the plates is sharper and makes the belt look so much better, perhaps looking even closer to the real one. Its also pretty heavy, the way it should be. Unlike how light weight the old 2mm one felt. Wait for the belt to go on a 20% discount, coz thats when its worth getting! On the left is the next gen 4mm one with the sharper stamping on the plates...  Yeah I saw the videos of it and the rumours, it just looked so much better. The 2mm makes a massive difference. A friend got one and has not looked back since. Messaged you.  |

Sounds like a great plan! I should have figured it was the long sleeves Rollins you were going for. I agree, Reigns has been nailed, looks perfect. The only shield member im not sold on is Ambrose because his scans have been rather simple/cartoon-looking or just painted poorly that the likeness isnt nearly as good as it is for Rollins and Reigns. I agree about Ambrose and his scans......its a strange one that they haven't nailed him down yet. Reigns new figure is just perfection. Yep the hair and the eyes tend to be off or both. I dont know why, I mean look at reigns scan and you can just see the huge amount of detail. Its a shame. When I get rollins though, Im going to play with the hair colour and get it to a more realistic shade, then he'll be perfect. |

Same here, I'm contemplating selling off my old one and getting this new upgraded version but it would have to be releathered as I hate the red backing. I totally never knew they had the thick plates for the attitude belt. Has it been confirmed that WWE are currently shipping the cast version? Yes they do. It has been around for a while now I believe. Like I said in my other post, you can see video reviews of it on YouTube.. Its pretty decent but a pity that its with the WWE logo and not the WWF  The Big Eagle WWE Shop is shipping now is the 2mm. It looks like they ran out of the 4mm which was from Figs Inc and as already known, Figs Inc and WWE have parted ways last year so the replica belts WWE makes now are all copyright and licensed from them and not from Figs Inc. As such some of the belts would be different with the ones from Figs Inc. For instance the WWE Big Eagle. The 4mm ones were from Figs Inc. As soon as that was all sold, they went on to sell their version which is why a few buyers received the 2mm one instead. They should probably update the photo at WWE Shop because the photo clearly shows the Figs Inc 4mm version of the Big Eagle... Its very misleading even if their description states its 2mm. People usually look at the photos first. Now this Big Gold is 4mm thick, sharp details on the plates and its copyright from Figs Inc. Meaning that once WWE Shop sells all its existing stock, it would either be replaced with their version or it won't be available anymore at all. Who knows how their version would be like if they do reproduce it. Also explains why its always going on discounts during a sale. They are trying to clear their stock of the old belts including this next gen Big Gold... Thats the dilemma! The thicker deeper detailed plates are always WAY better than the 2mm versions. But damn, the WWF logo is such an important part. If only we could have both in the one version. This has always been why I have hesitated in getting the attitude era belt. Thought Im happy with my WHC and WM30 WWE Championship. Shame, sounds like the 4mm version isnt available anymore. Thats why I was getting confused and had to ask.

What do you plan to do for Rollins? For me, these two are the best version of Rollins and Reigns so I am also finally going to have my first and ultimate complete shield. I plan on taking the previous elite Rollins and....... 1) removing the vest 2) adding the new Rollins head and vest 3) adding basic Goldust arms I will use the leftover new Rollins to make a new Ambrose. The new Reigns is already perfect. Sounds like a great plan! I should have figured it was the long sleeves Rollins you were going for. I agree, Reigns has been nailed, looks perfect. The only shield member im not sold on is Ambrose because his scans have been rather simple/cartoon-looking or just painted poorly that the likeness isnt nearly as good as it is for Rollins and Reigns. |

It is really nice although I don't like the red backing. Same here, I'm contemplating selling off my old one and getting this new upgraded version but it would have to be releathered as I hate the red backing. That's odd because I saw those videos too and mine has 2mm plates and the strap had the new wwe merchandise stamp on the back instead of toy figures inc. I actually returned it twice telling WWE Shop they sent the wrong item. Eventually I just gave up and kept it. If you notice, they changed the description online to 2mm plates. Oh... It should be with the Figs Inc stamp on the back like how it is on the big gold. It's confirmed that you had indeed bought the cast version from their site? If so, then WWE Shop screwed it up with their version. Private message me some pics of the big eagle belt that you got including the patch on the back. I totally never knew they had the thick plates for the attitude belt. Has it been confirmed that WWE are currently shipping the cast version? |

Rollin, Reigns & X-Pac for me. Will have to "Frankenstein" my perfect Rollins but Im readily prepared now to create my ULTIMATE shield. What do you plan to do for Rollins? For me, these two are the best version of Rollins and Reigns so I am also finally going to have my first and ultimate complete shield. |

Why did they make Kanes suit blue? The blue tie doesn't bug me but a blue suit? He has only ever worn dark grey/black. That is seriously annoying because we can't just use parts from other BAFs to have an all black suit because the legs are at least unique to Kane. Eurgh!

On on hand I can't wait for the game to release, on the other I want to try and finish last of us before it comes out haha.
The previews they showed on SD and stuff looked good, particularly Kanes model.
