How does one get darker like that? Are they the new Chuck and Billy? HOnestly i havnt watched a full WWE show in 3 years,so I don't know the tag team much. But the Bottom packaging is screaming Chuck and Billy. its a dance they do while chanting "millions of dollas" hilarious. to me anyways.

-Elite packaging
-Legendary Tag Teams. When I think of legendary tag teams, Rowdy Roddy Piper & Cowboy Bob Orton, Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff and the Bushwhackers sure as hell do not come to mind

Making the big Johnny set impossible to find and even worst Christian being one per case. Couldn't agree more!

I feel like that Cesaro headscan could work, it looks to me like a detailing issue, which has been common so far with Mattel- little things like the eyebrows being WAY off can ruin an entire headscan. This is why most people prefer the E11 Punk head the best out of his figures, they got the eyebrows right & it is his one and only figure with an accurate hairline & widow's peak.
My biggest complaint: ESR being $400, and if you don't have four hundred bucks and you missed your chance, EVERY other ring you have to choose from is a 12" spring-loaded, way-too-small, same ring they've been making from day one. It doesn't have to be a 22", highly detailed ring, but I was surprised to see Mattel asking $150 retail for a "Ringside Battle" playset with a bunch of awesome accessories include the same horrible, tiny, unpractical 12" square as the one I can buy for $13 at BigLots.
Also... how long has the BoPPV BAF John Laurinaitis series been out? I just saw Cena & Shaemus for the FIRST TIME a week ago. My TRU is always on top of the BAF lines. And Christian, the one I wanted most with the white IC Title- is one per case? Seriously? How does that even make sense from a business standpoint to short one figure in a four-figure BAF line, where the idea is to collect all 4? I don't get it.
My main complaint and Mattel's biggest fail, IMO: HEADSCULPTS WITH A GOOFY SMILE FROM EAR-TO-EAR KILL EVERY FIGURE THEY'RE EVER PRODUCED ON. E16 Ezekiel Jackson is the most awkward looking figure I have ever seen with that face- and due to his status as a resident shelfwarmer, I'd guess there are a lot of people that agree. Same problem with E18 Brodus Clay- would have made all the difference in the world if he didn't have that stupid looking headscan. Same problem with EVERY Big Show figure- okay, that smiling Big Show headsculpt should have been a one-off (you know, like the E11 Punk head, which is their best work, should never have been.) Instead, it's the go-to head and it ruins everything about the Big Show figures.
PLEASE no more goofy, awkward-looking, smiley-faced headscans. You know WHY they don't sell? Because it doesn't work. Brodus smiles while he dances but not while he's working a match. Big Show has had a more serious gimmick for QUITE SOME TIME, WHY is every new figure of his cursed with that ridiculous, goofy looking, wide smiling headscan? There is no saving that Ezekiel Jackson.

I think Bossmans headsculpt. If Mattel are doing a flashback they need to get it right as chances are there won't be anogther one.

Hair paint apps and they need to produce a larger ring for the figures.

Immediately thought of Hunico Basic 23 figure, so terrible. Legends like most said. Series 1 was good, but from then on the direction they took was just a fail. The 2 pack Legends choices were really bad as well. Series 1 should of been, Demolition, LOD, and like Rick Rude and Jake Roberts, for example. Not Bushwhackers, establish a good ground first then introduce lesser known characters.

Legends. Not the figures themselves, just how it all went down. It's sad that the line with the most potential was unarguably Mattel's biggest flop with the WWE license. Odd attire choices (Slaughter, Snuka, arguably LOD), Shelfwarming re-releases (K-mart HOF series), over-distribution (series 2 and TRU tag teams are still around some places) that led to stores not ordering later sets, an online poll that didn't work right, website SNAFUs, and the list goes on and on. WWE themselves kind of made it hard for this line to take off also, as I recall MDT saying that they wanted no "current" wrestlers in the Legends line, meaning no past versions of Undertaker, HBK, Kane, HHH, etc. If it was able to start off strong with names like HBK, Undertaker, and Andre at retail, it would have fared better. If they would have gone with well-known versions of wrestlers instead of obscure attires (camo Slaughter, barefoot Snuka, LOD in red), it would have fared better. If the TRU tag team sets wouldn't have included two previously released wrestlers in unpopular combinations, it would have fared better. There are just so many seemingly no-brainer decisions that could have helped, but for one reason or another, the line just kept making missteps at every turn. 100% spot on. I'm still waiting for a camo Sarge and red LOD (not Road Warriors). I don't understand how they could have mass produced something that so few people would want (camo Sarge). Who made these decisions? It's like taking a movie class for fun and the teacher is some stuck up, pretentious snob who will only show obscure foreign films that no one gives a crap about. What a waste. "Hey, let's do Sgt. Slaughter in blue! No one has ever done that before!" Um yeah, there's a reason for that.
