There's a lot of good figures on the way, but E19 pretty much takes care of all my current needs outside of Eve and AJ.
I like the molded shirts as a once or twice a year Walmart exclusive. I'd like to see Mattel invest in a better looking mold, but for now it's fine.
So happy Elizabeth has a more basic leg now. I wonder if that was always the plan or they changed it after the feedback from SDCC?
Part selection continues to be an issue for me. Wrong legs, skinny arms, short boots(Savage), Triple H is still too ripped etc, etc. They have the right parts they just refuse to use them.
Daniel Bryan is 'short', not anorexic. His new, and old for that matter, Elite figure(s) look sick, and not in that lame 'sssiiiccckkk' Zack Ryder way. The Sin Cara/Rey torso would work better.

Cody's legs too big.....daniel bryan's too small. I guess they didn't notice that both basic and elite cody's have different knee pads on?? And both are wrong...lol I was really hoping they would introduce a new mold for "skinny fat" guys like Miz, Jericho and bryan.

Did Mattel actually get smart and not show any new Reys. Honky Tonk Man looks pretty good I can't wait for him there were no Sheamus figure either. I actually really like the painted shirts. Something different. I display figs with shirts and dislike the rubber ones so id rather have this than those. Guess for those that play it stinks. For the guy that says Christians glasses are the same as FB edges....they are not. Edges have more...edge. These are larger and rounded. ur right. I thought they were Edge's as well. They are rounder. But they are still wrong. And the ones from SDCC were better Agreed on sdcc glasses. Didn't realize it was you who posted originally comment lol i posted without quote due to laziness. My bad bro!

Thanks for the pics they're great! Would have loved the Elite 20 Cody to have smaller kneepads and the smiling head scan but it is only a proto , maybe it will change (hopefully)

I'm a huge HBK fan and I was really looking forward to his E 19 figure but after seeing it a few times I'm not sure they nailed his face scan... again. What's your guys's thoughts?

I can only handle that silly hair strand scan because my Elite 13 always has the mask on

I'm really....REALLY surprised Mattel is making HTM he was one of the most legendary shelf warming worthless Jakks CS figures....every one of them regardless....blue jumpsuit, guitar & classic IC title or we riot To be fair, Jakks did pack him 2 per case during a time when almost every CS figure was being packed 1 per case or less. i know, but he had 2 releases that could be found everywhere for a long time, plus the CSDA figure which was as much of a peg warmer as any other. the 3 pack with him, valentine & jimmy hart was hard to come by...mostly because jakks never released it to mass retail it just seems like an odd choice for a flashback, when they said the legends line died and we got figures of guys like british bulldog, mr perfect, bam bam bigelow, etc.

If they are making Basic Cena in green painted on T-shirt, does that mean they wont be making an Elite version? He's in Elite 20, so I'm assuming he'll be in green then.

My Thoughts Basic Figures Eve - Love the Attire, Scan could be better. I prefer the Older Scan than the New one. In my eyes She doesn't resembles Eve at all but that's just Me.
David Otunga - A Must Have for me..since must likely his Elite Version won't come out yet.
Wrestlemania Heritage Shawn Michaels (WM23 Attire)- Love the attire, I wish for a new modern Headscan for him. On his modern look headscan Mattel only made 2 different scans for him and for the Old School/Vintage look of He has I think 3 or 4 different scans. Will still pick this up though.
Wrestlemania Heritage Masked Kane (WM 2000 era Attire) - Man..If only this figure was an Elite, figure could've been more Awesome.
Wrestlemania Heritage Daniel Bryan (WM27 Attire) - Love the attire and I got a spam Figure Clothing Entrance Jacket that can match with this figure..so its a must have hehe.
Basic Antonio Cesaro - Great Basic Figure but I will wait for the Elite Version..
Basic Ryback - Same thing with Ryback..Great Basic figure but will wait for the Elite version
Battle Pack Curt Hawkins and Brodus Clay - A must have pack..I could careless about the Brodus though..Will pick up his Elite Version.
Basic T Shirt Series Walmart Exclusive - Only figure that caught my eye is punk ..but they could've used a different attire at least..from the waist down its completely the Basic 18 Cm Punk
Elite Figures:
Flashback Christian, HBK and Miss Elizabeth - All Must Haves..All three are the best upcoming figures that are gonna be released soon.
Elite DZ, Lesnar, DB and Kane - MUST HAVES!
Elite Rhodes - Gonna pick this up definitely I like how they used the Mcintyre Ripped Torso but they should've used the same scan used in the new basic Cody Rhodes the other scan obviously goes well with the current look of rhodes (that's just my opinion though)
Elite Jericho - Finally A new Jericho! I'm just really down with the Headscan..it sucks..Could've been better..but It's cool..We gotta get his light up Entrance Jacket or we RIOT! hehe. I'll just probably do a Headswap on this figure.
Overall Mattel a great job on the Elites..Basics are okay..a Little more improvement on Head Scans..and yeah that's it. I wish we they showed some new divas perhaps? Kaitlyn? hehe...and sucks AJ Lee wasn't shown.

Not a fan of the molded tee's either, but there are some very nice looking figs coming soon. I'll definitely be getting the Bryan, Ziggler, HBK, Jericho and probably the Kane elites and I really like the basic Kofi with Skeletor design, Basic Cody and even those Rybacks look pretty good. Looking forward to a COO Triple H. I just haven't bought enough for the TRU mail away. I'm kind of disappointed there's no Elite Christian in there.

I h8 being a h8er since I will finally get one of my top 3 wants with the hbk but imo HTM was a misstep he seems to fit into the catagory of 80's midcarders that perpetually shelf warm (see Rude, Steamboat, Most tag teams etc) best stick with adatude era or heavyweight champions of the 80's. Why is mattel still refusing to make an elite Macho with a robe?
