Where's the Series 8 Finlay?? Please tell me he didn't get cancelled! I'm trying to get 1 of everyone Basic and I don't like the 2 Pack Finlay, I was hoping for a newer one.
So I can assume these are Series 9:
Evan Bourne
Jack Swagger
JTG
Mark Henry
Rey Mysterio
If so I love that Bourne, Swagger looks cool, nice to get an updated JTG...hopefully Shad will be in Series 10...Henry looks to have a brighter red & Mysterio's colors are great.
Elite Sheamus looks incredible. The belts are awesome too. I guess Regal isn't coming with a robe??? That is very very disappointing...why not cut Edge's coat out, give Edge a shirt and give Regal the robe??? To me I just don't see the point of an Elite Regal without a robe.
The new scans look awesome.
I guess Legends 5 so far is gonna be :
Akeem
Rick "The Model" Martel
Macho Man Randy Savage
Bam Bam Bigelow
They are just amazing. All of them.
I am super excited for 2011. I am going to be spending a TON of money.

If Mattel took all of the money they are wasting on the Rumblers (which nobody is going to buy) they could afford to give us better coats for Edge, Undertaker and Goldust and have better tattoos on the basics.  I'm not trying to be a debbie downer....I'm just saying. Why put so much emphasis on these Rumblers when the Basic and Elite line are what the customer cares most about! Mattel putting so much attention to the Rumblers and still putting so much attention to the Flex Force is angering because then they turn around and screw with the Basics and Elites by giving us 1 per case of certain people and NOW they are going to start releasing waves of Elites with certain guys not even in them at all! If Mattel wants to make Rumblers and Flex Force and other types of childish things like Giant megaphones then that's FINE WITH ME, but figure out a way to do it WITHOUT screwing up the Elites and Basics because that is what the CUSTOMER cares most about! |

Better in what way? Stupidly oversized fabric coats like they put on the Entrance Greats? The elite Edge, Taker and Goldust coats are way better. |

From what I understand, the lines themselves have different budgets - thus, this wouldn't make a difference. Besides that, myself and others have said we like the Rumblers. I for one, WILL be buying them. |

It's simple economics dispersion...the WWE Mattel line has a certain amount of money that it allocates between the lines. Elimination of a line such as Flex Force or Rumblers would then take that money and make it available to be transitioned to the Basic and/or Elite lines. |

They're just sooo beautiful

From the ringside fest 2010 pics we saw Evan Bourne in a red attire which im sure is elite series 8. I hope we don't get another one. One elite bourne is fine unless its in his blue attire though. Can't wait for 2011

Damn that IC title looks amazing, Jakks current IC title was the worst belt they made so it's finally great to see it get justice in figure size form!  Not really bothered about Diva figures but that Maryse is priceless lol. WWE Championship belt has the 'MON NITE RAW' side plate, was hoping it would have the updated two 'WWE Champion' plates but im sure Mattel could update it later on. |

Mattel takes characters that Jakks has already made and I never wanted (Akeem, Martel, Maryse) and makes them amazing.

Everything looks amazing!
Can't wait to see who the other two in Legends 5 are - all four look awesome and the inclusion of Arrogance and the Yes I Am A Model pin - WOW!
The detail on the Warrior coat and kneepads from WMVII is superb - I hope we get Defining Moments here in the UK otherwise it's going to be very expensive.
When I first saw the Rumblers from SDCC I didn't like the look but now there are more of them they look far more attractive. I know my son is going to want them to face off against his Super Hero Squads! I'm sure Vince would love to go the cartoon route also in this PG era.

AdamBomb,
The fact that certain waves of Elite 7 are going to be without Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith and the fact that certain waves of Elite 8 are going to be without William Regal show me that the other lines ARE suffering.
It's hard enough to find Mattel as it is, now we are going to have to deal with waves that certain guys aren't even in. With the erratic ways that most store stock their Mattel WWE figures, this is going to make it really hard to find certain people.

You're forgetting their is a valid reason for this. A lot of people have complained that keeping up with the figures as it is, is too expensive, and they want the cases weighed differently to save a little money. Whether that means a superstar is cut from a wave, or their is one less star per series.
Mattel has even said this themselves.

Bill from the design team said Regal's robe wasn't ready, so it wasn't on display. But he will have one. Oh OK. I didn't see that anywhere. That makes me teh happies!!! Another note on Elite 8...I'm kinda bummed McIntyre is in white, since his Wrestlemania 26 Basic is white, I was hoping to get that and have the Elite in black. Ah well, Elimination Chamber or Basic 6 Drew here I come |

I'm glad to see that Maryse's scan is much better than Jakks'. I can't wait until Basic 8 is in stock! Should be soon.
