Mine is also off in all the same ways you mentioned. The nose is down and to the left. The eyes are so badly off that I didn't even think he had eyes. The teeth are firmly in his mouth. It's really really bad. For the first figure I ever preordered, I'm so frustrated. The only way I'm not losing my mind over it is that I'm only displaying it on a shelf on the far side of my room, where I won't see it closely that often. It's a horrible case of the True FX f-ups, but if I'm not going to be looking at it closely, I suppose I can live with it. It's upsetting, but not the end of the world. Besides, if we really are getting a UE, I can deal with this as a temporary thing. Yeah, this is why I selectively order figures online. You really don't know what's going to show up. For a figure I spent almost $40 altogether, it's crappy. I love Ringside and I recognize this is beyond their control. But I shouldn't have to dish out another $40 to get a figure that isn't flawed. If the ultimate one is coming, I think I could live with it, but I don't even wanna put this on display.

Anyone else receive their Fiend figure and the face print is completely off? Mine isn’t too bad but it’s obvious. the top teeth are in the mouth and the print where the eyes and nostrils are below the sculpt. Super bummed out about this since I’ve waited 2 months for this only to receive a flawed figure. I see the next preorder date is for July but I’m hesitant, especially since the price jumped. Also, noticed the hair is a little lighter in mine, seems to be a running change.

The newest version had a very limited run on ringside and I couldn’t afford it then. Now looking to dish out the money but it’s impossible to find. I’m hoping they make more.

I knew they were gonna make a wargames playset at some point. Really disappointed that it’s under the “wrekkin” line. I mean, I’ll consider buying it if it goes on clearance but my God these breakaway features are really a deal breaker for me. I just want a straight up playset. I know these are aimed at kids, but is not having holes all over the cage really going to steer them away from not wanting it?

I knew it. They need to go all out with the accessories. They need FFFH characters too. Should be a solid release. Still glad I preordered E77 to hold me off until then.

E69 was/is the greatest set of all elites. Ciampa, Ricochet, Lashley, Mustafa Ali were all first times in the line and must haves. I remember it was last summer I was about to board the plane to go off to my best friend’s wedding and seeing the protos right before we flew off....good times. This. If we're talking about the figures being mainly in the main elite core line, then yes, I'd agree about Ciampa, but Ciampa wasn't a first time as he had the HOC elite already. Not only did we get 3 first time in the lines in the set, but both Target exclusives were also first times in the line and must haves, Liv and Sonya. Then we also had that Walmart exclusive flashback, attitude era Rock. Really strong set and IIRC, everytime I went into a store, the only peg warmer of the set was really only Lashley and Miz. Even still, both Lashley and Miz were really solid figures. Oh I forgot Ciampa had 2 other figures, even though they were a bit underwhelming. But yeah, there was not one weak figure in that set. Rey’s head was a bit off but that’s it. It’s arguably Miz’s best figure as well.

She’s bad, like really bad. I wanna say Khali bad but I don’t remember him injuring people like she has. She’s been in the biz for like 5-6 years at this point with zero improvement. It’s time for them to cut bait without being fearful of body shaming accusations. Great Khali actually killed a man in the ring.... until Nia does that you can't compare the two. No sh*ttt! I had no idea man. Khali definitely takes the cake then.

They brought him in 10 years too late. You can tell Joe is in pain every time he goes out there. Sure, he should go out on better terms, but I’m all for guys being protected. He suffered 2 back to back concussions, on top of his body visibly breaking down. He’s a damn good announcer and is far better than anyone else other than Nigel, IMO.

Nia is terrible. If I said that on Twitter it would somehow be spun as me body shaming her.

They’ve made his figures way too skinny. I think he’s due for an upgrade whether it be in the elite line or ultimate.

I wish WCT released the MITB playset they teased a few years ago.

Probably only getting Vicera and the Fiend.. Hopefully, there’s some improvement with the next Fiend release. Bigger arms, bright red pants (instead of dark red) and molded belt (instead of painted) Yeah theres no reason that they couldn’t go all out for the first Fiend figure. Maybe they want to release multiple Fiend figures and that might explain why this one feels a little incomplete. You can totally justify The Fiend as an ultimate edition release with a bunch of accessories with FFFH characters.

Something is off about Wyatt. The head is a tad bit small, and so are the arms. He’s also missing the deco on his shirt. I really wish it came with the jacket because it doesn’t feel complete without it. I preordered but I was expecting a little more. The rest of the set is meh.

I mean, it’s a $20 figure. What kind of quality soft goods did you think was gonna come with it. It looks fine btw and as long as it looks fine that’s all that matters.
