Hey guys, i have been very back and forth on this pack. I have seen from many threads that the paint jobs and warping are a huge issue with the set. Has there been any improvements with recent resupply? I keep all my figures MOC because I really think the packaging adds alot to the figures, so i know I could live with loose articulation. I just would like to know everyone's opinion about the quality of the items for how much they cost. Thanks!

I am really happy with my set. A couple figures have ankles that are a little bit crooked, but that is to be expected with Mattel Elites.
Flair's headscan is spot on, and all have good paint jobs.

Are some of the figures still unable to stand on their own? I did pick up a WM heritage basic Ric Flair and i was thinking about returning it and buying the 4 pack. The main figure I want is the Arn Anderson.

I had to look through 8 packs at the store to find one with good paint apps
It's ridiculous
I'm keeping mine MOC to be signed by all the members (including good old JJ), but I assure you if I opened it there would be some major warped legs on Tully and possibly Arn

Mine were pretty much perfect. Only issue might be slight warping, but not enough to be noticeable or an issue.

I appreciate all the feedback! I may pick the pack up if i can find one with near perfect paint apps. I know the hair on Flair seems to be a common issue, but are there any other paint app issues I should look out for?

The main figure I want is the Arn Anderson. I can get them all to stand on their own, but either Arn or Tully take a lot of effort and they end up standing kind of funny. Luckily I have a bunch of display stands, so it isn't a big deal. I would really recommend picking up a set if you find one with paint jobs that are up to par.

The ankle of my Ric Flair was crooked but other than that mine were perfectly fine. I was really happy with them.

It's a great set. I'd definitely pick it up, if you keep them in the package you won't have to worry about the warping. I open mine and display them and they aren't so warped that you can't pose them. IMO Ric Flair from the 4 pack is way better than the DM.

Do the figures have peg holes on the bottom of the feet? If so, will they work with the NECA figure stands? Also, is anything in the set a new mold? From what i know all these guys have been released previously?

I know the price is really good for 4 elites even with the lack of accessories. If anyone knows of the common paint app issues i may go and look around and see if i can find a nice set.

I'm happy with my set. It was pulled from the back by an employee so it was my only option. No problems at all with paint, warped limbs or standing on their own.

The main figure I want is the Arn Anderson. If you are a MIB collector who cares how they stand? I purchased 2 sets and had no issues with paint or standing. Both my Tully figures had a warped leg but they both went back to normal once they were taken out of the blister without having to heat them. I think it's a great set especially for the price.

Mine were mostly fine on the paint, however Arn's foot was on backwards. Luckily, that was an easy fix with some boiling water.
