It doesn't look as great as the other sets but Jake looks good and King Booker was impossible to find when he first came out. So they are must buys. George Steele wasn't necessary and will keep Tito Santana company for a while.

I wonder if the Horsemen and HOF 2 (looking at you Tito!!!) warming so hard has anything to do with all repaints and not spending the money for new molds etc. I really want that King Booker so Im not mad at the set. I would def think it may be a response to previous series. Also hope this line continues. It is my favorite series so heopefully this wave doesnt warm too too hard.

Any word on a 4-pack or is that all thats being released for the hall of fame? I would be shocked to see another 4 pack released.

I'm not disappointed with it. I need a Jake The Snake and George The Animal Steele Elite. I have King Booker but I know a lot of people missed out and it goes for quite a bit on the secondary market so I'm not surprised Mattel has released him again. Edge is someone I can careless about since I have the Ringside one, but people on here ask for a new Edge everyday.

ehhh.. not what everyone expected. and im very disappointed in the choices of wrestlers. looks like all im getting is Jake , and thats a big iffy because his torso looks changed and thats a bad thing. yikes Bill. im not sure where to even start here. major letdown tbh.
edit: im sick of re-releases now. i feel like every sub line now is being wasted.

I missed out on Booker T and finding one is hard. So glad this one came out. If Edge comes with Rated R Belt, he will become a definite get. Otherwise, I can live with the other one I got. Roberts may be a pass since I already own the Legend Series one. Steele doesn't seem too different to the Legends one, maybe a little hairier. Most likely won't get him.

People ask for red, red/white or purple camo Edge...we get grey? Booker was a good choice. Not sure another George was needed. I dislike Jake the Snake's attire(it's not WM 8). That stupid rat or whatever it is, in the pink suit? Since they botched the color of his tights in the two pack(yellow!?), they should have done a make good with his Hall of Fame figure and went with purple/green or green/purple with snakes on the legs. Agree on all counts. Yellow tights was an awful call for the recent Jake from 2-pack and now they have another Elite and go with white and the non-WM8 white? Weak. This whole series is a past for me which is a real bummer because it's been my favorite line since it was introduced last year, the only figures I haven't purchased from the series has been Eddie and Trish and that's only because my collection starts at 1987/88 and stops at 1998. I would've bought the Jake HOF4 if it was purple or black tights (ala WrestleMania VII) but with the attire they chose (and the fact that I already own both elite Jakes and don't really have room for another), this entire set is a pass and it sucks.

Im bummed out about all these repaints and rereleases. Sure its great for people who didn't collect When mattel started but what about the people who have been there since the start? ALL the ringside exclusive?? belts rereleased AE,smoking skull and undisputed belt..Another Kamala another George steele another bossman dm taker, King Bookah again. Its a shame these slots weren't for new figures I could actually buy..I get mattel wants to cater to new buyers but don't forget about the people who have been faithful since the start in 2010. The 7 figures I mentioned I wont buy since I already have them. If it was 7 new figures in those slots im sure I would've bought everyone. Just irritates me that we see kamala and steele again before Beefcake, Billy Grahm ,Backlund , Sherri etc. Bums me out

Edge has never had a good Mattel figure, but I'll get it...
Jake the Snake
I'm not interested in King Booker. I want WCW Booker.

I'm okay with it. For sure getting Jake for my 80's flashback collection. Edge and Booker are a maybe for me, I already have a George Steele figure, so he is a pass for me.

Also why does Jake have that ripped torso? The one they used before was fine Yeah this is a real question here.

So is this Edge based on Wrestlemania 24? It's hard to tell.

Well I missed King Booker, Edge Flashbacks so these are going to drop in price (Like Tully/Arn etc) so sux for those that have them. I will buy all of HOF 4, and now likely go a bit harder for those flashbacks I missed. Not sure what the difference between this Steel and the Legends one is? But I'll likely just keep with this one. Steel is going to Warm hard...
