Wish they put the Basic 48 Hogan in there instead of Big Show. Andre vs Hogan... That would have been a sure fire purchase.

Indeed. But that promotion was before the regular basic came out....I never saw the pack set at SDCC...only the prototypes...I was hoping they wouldn't. Especially after that regular single current basic came out. It doesn't make sense for them to make a current taker with an 1997 shawn michaels when the first time they feuded with each other was 1997. Wouldn't it make more sense to push the same era for BOTH of them? The whole purpose of the set is "fantasy matches" with one current and one retro. then the HBK/Taker set is pretty much a waste since they both faced off multiple times. Fantasy means it didn't happen, right? In a way, i guess you mean, well current undertaker never faced retro shawn michaels, but it's contradictory to the others. I'm sure RVD and Rey faced off multiple times as well...Big Show vs Andre is the only legit fantasy match in this set.

Yet no response from MattelDesignTeam on the outfit choice for HBK. Kind of disappointed.

Andre the giant looks quite impressive, I'm having conflicting views about buying this or waiting for the elite.

I have to say I'm pretty shocked about HBK. Talk about a letdown.
At the same time though, Mattel has kicked ass this year and there is still plenty of time to do more HBKs. And consider this... What if they had used a really awesome attire? That would probably mean that we wouldn't see it as an elite. By doing an old elite as a basic, it opens up the possibility of the next HBK elite (aside from the RSC exclusive) to be one of the many attires that we've been asking for.

The HBK could look good if you put the older HBK scan on it and a pair of bare hands. Could represent the first few years after he came back...

Andre and Big Show are the only set I really want from this series.

Oh. Well, for now, it'll work as an ECW RVD. At least til we get a real one. Hell yeah. I'm collecting all mattel RVDs so bring them all on Hell yeah, same here. It's awesome that every rvd released so far hasn't been repeats.

Is it me or does Andre look like a Jakks Andre?

That's the scan the elite flashback Andre should have had. Also, Big Show's scan looks like Karl Anderson, especially at that angle.
The other packs look good. Rey and RVD are the best of the set.

Taker/HBK is an easy pass, though the rib wrap is pretty cool. Andre/Show is an easy get, need a Basic of both guys. RVD/Rey is an easy get, WCW Rey and the stand? Yes please.

The only reason I'm buying the Andre/Big show Bp is for that new headscan on Andre

Great Andre head. Shame I have to pay $20 for something that should have came in the last Elite.

Weird that Mattel still couldn't be bothered to add the chest hair to this basic version of the HBK elite 19 figure, which was missing it too.

I only want Andre. I am a little surprised, I would've put money on him being in blue.
