In basic form, perhaps. Elite, surely not. Its too hard to convince retail to accept 3 near identical looking figures in plain black espeically for an expensive line. They will likely break up at some point and its be a waste to use 3 spots (half a wave) on near identical figures. Im sure their next elites will be them as individuals.

Yeah I think Brock was up for a bit but I never went for him. And yes the RSC exclusives of Austin and the first Kane were 14.99 in the early bird sale.
There was the regular black friday sale and the early bird running at the same time.

Yes!! I've been waiting to see a 12" line. I really enjoy those kinds of figures. These do look a little on the cheap side though. Please release a Kane though!! I'm still no over jakks canceling max aggression after delaying the Kane!

Well, I would think a decal can fix that. I just recently noticed what they did in the game. I couldn't patiently wait for Paul Bearer if he were to come with an urn. I imagined he wouldn't come with one though because to me, Mattel doesn't seem to be quick on releasing certain accessories. Seems like you only get ONE chance to get certain things. Especially the titles I can't either thats why Im getting this punks urn!  They really should have release this urn earlier though. Jakks one was ugly. This could have easily come with a kane or taker from 2010 especially their battle pack as their feud revolved around the powers of the urn. |

I'd guess it's like their DC lines...One of the Horsemen told us back when they first started designing the Batman figure back in '03 or '04 it's a process. First they need to get OK from Mattel and DC for the character. Then after the initial sculpt is made it needs to go to Mattel and DC again for approval. Once they get it back they make whatever corrections were asked for and send it back for approval again. Once it's Ok"ed by both Mattel and DC they cast it and make a painted sample that is submitted to both Mattel and DC. If it meets boths approvals then Mattel makes a proto and few samples which they then send to DC for final approval. Then it goes into production so it takes of going back and forth with each step. I'm sure the WWE is the same way. Yes and after all of this, production is a whole other ball game. Testing, mould making, manufacturing valiations, approvals and QC, etc. all take a substantial amount of time and thats before packaging/shipping/etc which is even yet another chunk of the time frame. Manufacturing, tooling, etc. is a long and important process. |

Surely its a background in design which is where I come from. You would not need to have just a passion for the product but bring a design and manufacturing understanding in addition to having some kind of business sense or acumen. To me, working there would be a dream job.

Given how well he sells Mattel probably will do it if he wears the suit on TV more. Just depends on what his ring attire will look like now. They could well shove him in a 2 pack.

Honestly both, and Im not being bias. If youre intending to keep a few, make the exception here. Those 2 remains 2 of the hardest to find/most expensive mattel figures. Both are excellent too. Unless you need the money, hold onto them. Itd cost too much to get them back.

Really liking the new packaging! I want that heyman, way better than the BAF one. Im all for new kanes but theres nothing different about this one.  Its not in his new singlet which is probably too soon even though it was debuted at WM29. The only good thing about the kane is he is numbered #1. |

Its probably focusing on the background because you're too close to the figure. Therefore it cant focus on the figure.

I've been pretty out of the loop with this game so far, has much been announced or uncovered since the WM mode roster reveal? It seems like the info for this game is filtering out ridiculously slow. I guess thats partly why my motivation to keep up to date with it has been a little low. We literally haven't heard a peep from them outside of Cesaro being "revealed". Thanks mate, that's what I figured. Pretty poor of then given how long it's been and how close we are getting. Shouldn't have to think ourselves lucky for finding out about cesaro. |

First the RSC exclusive and then E12 Kane, both of these figures have managed to retain pretty high value. The ones that pop up tend to be very pricey, generally over $50 for MOC. Glad i got mine on release, kind of wished Id got a 3rd to do fixups on. I couldnt care less about reselling them. I just have a loose one for my kane display and a MOC one too.

Probably the biggest letdown of a poster in recent memory. The subtle presence of the cell is the only thing good about it. The random appearance of r truth, the lack of dramatic impact and the fact its a completely boring standard looking poster for such a strongly-themed event make this poster simply rubbish.
Dont know what they were thinking...
The only hope would be if this wasnt actually real.

Such a boring set other than Kaitlyn but that seems to be the strategy with these best of sets. Not to worry, money saved.
