I think this got lost in a sea of awesomeness this weekend but these caskets are incredible. Cant wait to get them. Only gripe is that they are in November which is too long away. Feels even longer given how good these are. FYI, here are the latest pics trevor posted for anyone who missed it in that huge SDCC thread amongst the millions of posts. Just created a few extra pics of the casket playsets to give you all a feeling for what they can hold. You can basically fit any regular mattel figure in there, including andre or great khali with the exception of Yokozuna. The tombstone is breakable and comes apart in 3 pieces. The urn is a bit larger like the old school one that Paul Bearer used to carry around.

Punk will win this with complete. For me it will remain the definitive Punk that just cannot be topped. Given his WWE status, perhaps that is truer than ever.

I dont understand the crummy reception that Raazor scan is getting. I think it looks fantastic especially given the figure is not entirely complete yet. A truly outstanding lineup. The detail on Sting is all kinds of ridiculousness.

Honestly, I think Mattel owes us an explanation on this one. Given their extremely good track record when it comes to Kane, it doesnt make sense how much they dropped the ball on this one. Why is it a 12 year old mask? Why is it not the attire he has used since WM29? A prime opportunity to release the tank top but instead a complete rerelease of e22 with a different head? It just doesnt make sense. Why are they avoiding his tank top attire? The accuracy on this Kane practically stops at the globe, boots and wristband. The rest is wrong, just wrong.

Great thanks mate! I'm gonna check a few stores tomorrow to see if they have any. If they don't have it (doubting they do) I'll get your help. Thanks bud. Probably will just see basics 41. I'm also gonna go over to Chaddy to see if they have B40 or 41, any new Star Wars Black Series 6" figs or some Marvel Legends. Btw I stand corrected, I meant basics 40. It was the khali set. Not 41. 41 seems boring besides Bryan. I just checked another and no Bryan. I'm convinced the biggest shelf warmers in our country are dolph and cena. They are absolutely everywhere.

Awesome. I'll let you know tomorrow. Can you ship it moc though and know how much that is roughly? I'll go to the store tomorrow and see if they have a DBry. MOC would be $32 shipped ($2 extra) Great thanks mate! I'm gonna check a few stores tomorrow to see if they have any. If they don't have it (doubting they do) I'll get your help. Thanks bud.

It's the bearer parts that I need more so than him. Can you get it moc from a local store? That's what I was going to try and find, a MOC figure but then sell you the D Bry, urn and head for $30 shipped loose. The figure is $25 and shipping is $5. Awesome. I'll let you know tomorrow. Can you ship it moc though and know how much that is roughly?

Went to tru and swap some faulty bearer parts I had. I now just need Bryan to complete my 3rd bearer. Really need to find him. Going to customize bearer. Just gotta find a damn Daniel Bryan Also, between Monday and today, they restocked and got in basic 41. Was tempted to get khali but at $20 per basic, no damn way.

There is seriously so much to take in. I am speechless. Absolutely exceptional job by Mattel here and what they have done with this line in just 4 years. Exceptional star power and execution on these figures. Now comes the difficult task of deciding what to get!

Why has Mattel dodged making kane in his current tank top and opted for the previous version in E31 with a mask that's 12 years out of date? Is Stephanie McMahon being considered for a figure given her increasing role on TV? What is the design teams proudest/favourite figure creation for this year?

What I find particularly disappointing, figure aside, is they gave us the rated r spinner but none of the plates have painted detail except the rated r plate itself. It's lacks so much colour.
I think the colourkng of the hair is great and definitely a step forward but the likeness is just too weak and the poor attire choice let's it down so much.

What an awesome preview night!!
That WM BAF set has to be one of if not the best yet! Apart from the useless cena (who would have benefitted from being anyone except him of budget didn't allow the short) it's a perfect set. Love the corporate Kane, looks great. Really enjoy the smart variety they've used to not duplicate the corporate Kane's.
E31 was a true curveball from everythig we were told. Usos look incredible. Ambrose is largely forgettable. I don't care for vader but rock is decent and in high demand. I hVe a real problem with the Kane though. A reused inaccurate mask? and STILL no tank top?!? It's been well over a year and would be accurate. I'm convinced they are just too lazy to create a new hefty tank top mould for him.
Great basics for sure. Titus and Eva are awesome.
That edge though is a fail. Mattel would seem the only company brave and capable of pulling off camo but instead they go for his ugliest most boring attire. Capped off with a crap headscan and an excessive price tag, complete pass as the belt alone is not worth the money. Rsc exclusives had a fantastic reputation but after the 3 lackluster releases, that's enough to officially write them off as uninspired and overpriced belt only exclusives.
Can't wait to get the BAF set, both Kane's, perhaps the Usos. Might get the awesome looking goldust too though it looks similar to the e6 scan which I'm not crazy about. Love the basic Rollins too. I was holding out on Brock for the supposed BAF elite one but as it didn't happen and he is an exclusive instead, got to get it and add to my wm30 souvenirs display. Passed on e30 just for this.
Overall a fantastic showing and struggling to comprehend this is only a teaser of what's to come! Great job Mattel!

Its very frustrating. Ive often wondered about it and Id say it comes down to whenever the die was being made that cuts the decal, it was made without the section to cut that triangle away and it has never been rectified. So annoying.
Im not overly impressed by the mattel MITB cases anyway, the jumbo size and highly visible external hinge are a massive detraction. This is one accessory Id say jakks did much better, admittedly they only did the plain ones and that RVD case from memory.

I'm sure that WWE doesn't even know what's going on in TNA. And neither does anyone in TNA, that place is a complete mess.

Surprisingly underwhelming I'd say. The elites are looking a little dry. An updated Cody and Bryan are good but the others are pointless. I could care less about seein another mysterio from any era.
The battle packs are total passes.
Series 44 is decent. Big e is just completely unnecessary from anywhere. Lookin forward to Kane, goldust and Rollins.
45 sounds interesting but not likely to buy any. Same with half of basics 36. Big show has no reason for any more basics or elites.
I wanted to see Kane current attire as elite. It would seem the series 44 is corporate Kane. We are still yet to see current masked Kane.
