Undertaker is a MASSIVE disappointment. They should have scrapped the HHH altogether and just made Undertaker's coat. I was REALLY looking forward to having an Undertaker figure in that amazing coat...and I figured Mattel would've really brought it.
This is a major letdown. Didn't punk have camo tights at OTL? I'm still getting it, but that sucks the figure was cheaped out on.

Because the figure is based on what he wore the night of Over The Limit and he didn't wear the mask that night.

I'm not huge fans of these sets either... But, I do want to bring up the point that these are the PPV lines we are critiquing here. Mattel did say these lines would be mostly repaints... And, while most of these are nothing special, just think about the beauties we are getting in the main lineups... Just saying...

I'm a bit gutted about this series to be honest. Big Show, Cena and R-Truth are rereleases from the WM26 series just recently, Undertaker is in the Best Of Elite plus the SDCC exclusive too, same with HHH and his Best Of Elite figure too. Unfortunately Punk is missing his camo designs on his trunks and it doesn't look like they're on his boots either although I hope I'm wrong. Taker's shirt looks OK but like everyone else, I would have rather had his jacket he wore at WM. As for HHH, he shouldn't have been made seeing as he had no accessories to give which is why he got a WM shirt. The backlash from Jakks doing this would have been far worse for some reason but its ok if its Mattel

They should have given HHH his water bottle and a WM chair instead of the shirt.

I'm so disappointed with Mattel now considering they could have made Elite 6 Hardy in this attire all they had to do is use the cancelled Jeff legs. But I will be getting this Matt, can't wait to find him.

Yea, a lot of people have been complaining bout Matt's pants being non-bagy, but at least he doesn't have a six pack. They should follow suit with Jericho now.

The WM26 figures are really a disappointment to me. Rey doesn't have the Avatar hair added, Swagger and Undertaker don't have their robes, and Undertaker and Triple H have shirts that they didn't wear at the PPV. Was considering getting Rey, Swagger and Undertaker when they were announced, but after seeing the finished product I won't be getting any of them.
Might get the Swagger from the Over the Limit wave though.

WOW. WTF happened to Undertaker? Mattel just totally F'ed us right in the A. This is the first time they have disappointed me since they took over the line. This is like something Jakks would do.

Bill again, other members of the team will use this user name as well, but so far I am the only one to post here so far.
Due to the compressed nature of the timelines between when Undertaker came out in the hooded robe and when the WM 26 Elite figures would reach the shelves we did not have time to develop the robe as an accessory. This wave was planned as a redeco wave late last year, when soft goods development for the wave had to begin in order for it to hit retail on time. The initial plan was for all our Elite WM 26 figures was for them to include commemorative T-shirts, but this plan was changed to include more personalized accessories for Rey Mysterio and Jak Swagger using already existing parts, repurposed to be more appropriate to each superstar. Triple H as you can see retains the shirt. Undertaker was to include this shirt as well, but it did not seem as appropriate to him, so it was changed to a shirt that celebrated the continuation of the streak. So that is why Undertaker does not have the robe. If it becomes a regular entrance gear of his there would be a good chance it would be included as an accessory at some point. Thanks Bill

Thanks Bill how about doing a mail away promotion for the robe? those who buy the undertaker fig could send in their proof of purchase to redeem the robe

The only Elite I wanted was Taker and what a huge let down this is. I still Like the blue design, but that's not enough for me to get it. I thought Matt's cargo pants pockets were all blue at WM, but I can't tell if that's the case on the fig or not so will have to wait and see. The only thing I might get from OTL would be Rey depending on how the color of yellow is in person because that's my favorite color.
