  -I like the Christian figure but his left foot is whack, the new IC title looks great but mine has some unsightly gold staining on the white strap. -Sin Cara is nice and colorful. -John Laurinitis is an ok figure nothing really stands out about it. -Cena is pretty much identical to elite 20 but he comes with a shirt and lighter jeans. -Sheamus is my favorite in the set but I wish his hair wasn't such a dark red.  Updated champions shelf; Eve is subbing for Kaitlyn.  This is one of my favorite sets so far. -Del Rio looks awesome in black and gold, it's cool that he comes with 2 scarfs (the white one isn't pictured) and the magazine is a nice but unnecessary accessory. -Orton is the least desirable of the set but the shirt is nice. -Rey is in one of his most colorful attires yet I just wish that his shirt was molded rather than lazily painted over a shirtless 6-pack torso, and I'm not specifically fond of his creepy smiling headscan. -Ryback's first elite looks great, his singlet is super detailed in black, silver and blue. The dumbbells are a neat accessory. -The AJ figure is super cute and super tiny ;D her plaid top, shorts and kneepads look amazing, the little panda skulls are cute, her Chucks look great, her hair is nicely molded, and her bracelets and lightning bolt necklace are cool. Her headscan is a bit silly but I think it works, looks better in person than pics. She is among Mattel's best so far. -He's got long sideburns and his hair's slicked back, he came to my town in a white Purolator truck, he's the Honkytonk Man! To quote Frank Barone, "HOLY CRAP!" Without question, Honky is one of the best wrestling figures ever made! His cocky smile and Elvis hair are captured perfectly, his jumpsuit shines with outstanding detail and his breaking guitar is among the nicest accessories in Mattel's line. I haven't removed his jumpsuit because I will be displaying him with it on so I have no pics of him without it. In short, this figure is perfect. It couldn't have come out any better. He should set the standard for Mattel from this point forward.  Comparing elite 21 AJ with basic 24 AJ. Both headscans work for the timeframe of each figure. The new one definitely captures her current persona better and is a bit smaller than basic 24.  Elite 21 and basic 27 Ryback Thanks for looking  |

nice gets man, I've yet to get that boppv johnny set idk if Canada will ever get them, so I ordered them from RSC. The only one I overpaid for was Christian. The previous BAF elites retailed at $37.99 at TRU here  |

Is it just the perspective of the photo, or the John Laurinaitis figure really that tall? Looks like a giant of a man!

Are Honky Tonkman and Ryback out of scale?
Honky Tonkman 6'1 (Billed Height)
Ryback 6'3 (Billed Height)

Nice buys/reviews! Can't wait to get my AJ and Del Rio and hopefully find the BAF Johnny set.
Thanks for sharing.

After getting mine it's Ryback who's too small.
Weird thing is......if you were to put normal size boots on Ryback he becomes the right size.
Edit: they have changed the leg pegs so most elite boots won't fit properly.

Awesome stuff! I wish that Rey had the top molded on as an extra piece, too. They have the molds already, the RSC Rey had a top like that.

The previous BAF elites retailed at $37.99 at TRU here I'm in Ottawa and we have NO elites. Ever. It's rare. BUT TRU got the ricardo baf at xmas, short hair taker, etc... so they might get this baf set in. I just found the teddy long BAF (its basics - go figure) so those are there AND at one in quebec I found the series with flashback christian, jericho, cody and santino just put out for easter. So check tru near you NOW lol |
