elite 19 criticisms

[bharrisfan]

elite 19 is def one of the best waves mattel has released. but it is not without its flaws....

the biggest one that bothers me and by all means chime in if im wrong but daniel bryan while not as chiseled as dolph is at least as big and his figure should not be so much thinner/smaller than dolphs. further, the dolph's thigh and arm pieces could work if mattel didnt already establish a scale with other parts used for other figures that makes their use with dolph pretty ridiculous to me.

havent opened liz yet but her scan looks pretty cartoony from the package hopefully it'll play better out of package.

hbk is so freakin awesome. and i was nervous about it from the pics. the scan is better in person. of course the figure misses chest hair, knee pads and the necklace--which wouldve been a cool add on. but man the next flashback hbk should be perfect if they get it a little more accurate.

kane is flawless other than the paint being a little goopy/sloppy (dbry's paint quality seems a little cheap too).

brock is perfect except for the kneepads that dont fit or work right. i need to try a different size on there

anyway a great effort from mattel...lookin fwd to elite 20

All I know is that I will be getting them all,plus adding the things left out to HBK.

god those two are way outta scale

[Joe/Smurf]

Whether or not D Bry is perfect, they don't have better parts for him currently... So, I can't complain.

They try their bests but nothing can be perfect! Set looks good!

Is Dolph Ziggler's figure too small, or is Bryan's too big??

[Next Man’s Knowing Rock]

Bryan is quite a lot smaller than Ziggler in real life. I don't have any problem with the parts used for the figures of Bryan so far. Ziggler, I'll have to wait and see. Does it have bigger arms than Rock figures? Mattel has got the height on figures right 90% of the time, but some of them the proportions are all wrong. They think Cody Rhodes has a Hulk Hogan physique and Rock has a Colin Delaney physique.

Pre shipping this was the set of gods. Nothin changed but now it's being torn apart lol

[onleeone643]

Still not as bad as jakks

[wwextreme25]

Not a major pet peeve of mine. Still wont put me off buying pretty much the whole set :3

[James St. James]

Yeah everyone is trying to knock this set off of its high horse and its pretty dumb. Elizabeth, Brock, FB HBK and Kane were the most requested figures here for a long time and now we finally have them. With so many superstars/divas that will NEVER get figures, its a great thing. I was under the impression that Liz' family would never allow any merch to be made....come to find out they just wanted more money that Mattel paid them.

As far as Dolph and D-Bry go.....they still have plenty more figures to be made. Nobody will care about these figures in a year, so ripping them apart is pointless.

Good work Mattel.

I don't know how you got them to look so skewed, but my Bryan is much shorter than my Dolph and his head isn't nearly as huge looking as yours is in that picture.

I gave my Brock some Deluxe Aggression elbow pads on his knees, look and work great

[RybackV1]

That Ziggler torso is spot on. Anyone who thinks its "too jacked" needs a reality check. Dolph is one of the most physically fit guys in the back today.

[SuperBradOPig]

Woah ! Daniel's head looks massive!

[Deleted]

Bryans head looks large in that pic. Dolph looks great , wish I had a set of those trunks for customs

i mean the thighs/arms/waist pieces of dolph are really off compared to dbry's..thats all i was trying to show with the photo....how thick zigs is and how thin dbry is...when in reality dbry is much thicker than zigs

[Stevie H]

For me, HBK is quite a let down as he's missing his leg chaps that he wore during the entrance. I guess it was a costing issue.

[thehardys4life]

I completely disagree Dolph is jacked just like the figure...

D-Bryan would look much better with thighs sized like Ziggler and vice versa.

I really wonder how Sin Cara's upper body would work for other people.

[PJ]

The issue with Dolph is the thighs...just like with the e13 Cody. Those thighs are wrong for both of them. The problem I've been seeing with Bryan is his legs look warped in almost all the pics I've seen. I mean he uses the same parts as the first two Bryan figures...but this one his lower body looks bad unlike the first two
