Elite Rock, Bossman, Booker and Taker look fantastic. Even the Cena and Del Rio are really good, but I'll be getting the BOPPV Cena for the Cole, and I just picked up Elite 12 Del Rio so both are a bust for me.
Also, Basic 17 looks plain as hell. Good to see a new scan on Ryder. I'm sick to death of Miz. I'll probably grab Alex Riley however, since I passed on the two pack because of Miz. Henry is plain. Ziggler is plain. Mysterio, though completely over saturating the market, looks cool with the silver/red color combo.

I'm gonna have to get most of, if not ALL, of these.
King Booker- Digging the entire figure. My only gripe is that hair doesn't sit well on the figure when you take off the robe, but I can get past that, since it will be displayed as KING.. BOOKAH!!
Big Boss Man- I wouldn't want this figure if they hadn't have inlcuded such awesome accessories! He got decked out in that department!
The Rock- I'm so damn excited for this figure! It's the perfect Rock figure! Of course, him having a goatee would be pretty cool, but I'm sure we'll get that scan at some point. I'm so stoked that they included glasses and a shirt. THIS is what the rubber shirts are meant for. It fits perfectly to the body and doesn't hinder any mobility. It looks perfect, and this is the best Rock figure EVER.
John Cena- Gonna have to get it for that new body mold. It's far superior to any other Elite Cena.
Undertaker- If It weren't for the sweet entrance coat, then this figure would be just another boring Undertaker. Yes, Taker's Elites are ALWAYS great figures, but they're all the same aside from a few minor paint apps. Luckily, Mattel switches up the gear and accessories that he comes with.
Alberto Del Rio- I'm not big on the scan, but it's an updated one with slicked back hair, so I like that. The attires is AWESOME! I'm glad they decided to change it. he's got the new boots, new scan, and sweet attire. The accessories are good, but we already have them. Throw in his Elite 12 scarf and the figure is set.
Rey Mysterio- I'm digging the new body mold. The deco is real nice, too, but obviously the body mold makes this figure. My question is, why does he have 2 closed fists?
Alex Riley- This is WAY better than his first figure, and I'm glad I've decided to hold off for this one. The deco is better, and the headscan is not only a better likeness, but it also just makes the figure look less lanky.
Zack Ryder- Obviously, I'll be getting this one to keep MOC. If I can find another one then I'll get it to open (still haven't found a second Basic 10 Ryder to open). I love the new deco, and I'm feeling the scan, even though msot of you don't like it very much. I ish he ahd a headband, though. Hopefully this scan is used on his next Elite figure and he has a removable headband.
Mark Henry- Ehh. Not a very good figure IMO. They don't have much to work with here. Henry is very plain in his attire choice, other than the one isntance at MITB. I might get it jsut for the new scan, though. Plus, my only Henry's are his Elite 5 and Two-Packs with MVP, and those are both in red. I could use an updated Henry.
Dolph Ziggler- This figure is already outdated, but I really liked this attire. I'll get it and probably swap the Basic 10 head onto it.
The Miz- A must have, IMO. I'm digging the new scan and the deco is phenomenal. This figure would look great as an elite.
Has anyone else noticed Mattel's attention to new body molds to start the new year? I'm loving all the new molds for Rey, Kofi, Zeke, and Cena. All the new scans are a fresh update, as well. Mattel has started the new packaging craze off with a bang.

Why doesn't Alberto Del Rio look like Alberto Del Rio?

Bossman, and the Rock are it for me in e14. Might get ADR for the body and throw on the old headscan to make it a better figure. I do like his attire. I dont really like King Booker. The scan looks great and so do accessories but with out the robe on him his hair sits really funny looking above his shoulders. Not liking that at all. In the basics I would get the Miz for that new head scan. i like it!! Looks angry. Also Riley is a must for me and thats about it there.

glad I ordered Bossman and Booker, also got Del Rio and I like the attire on it, if anything I will swap the heads with 1 of his earlier figures but I will decide when I see it in person, really digging Riley it looks better than his first figure, if it weren't for Rey in that set I'd probably order the whole thing but I really dont need another Rey
my biggest complaint is Bookers hair looks stupid when the robe is off, but i'm sure it won't be a big deal in person

I still hate the terrible pants on Rock, but surprised to see it so packed with accessories.
I'll get all of the Elites, and from the basics, definitely Miz and Ryder, probably Riley too and maybe Henry.

I want all of Elite 14 except Cena. I will definitely do a head swap on ADR.

Want that Mark Henry, love that attire. Will definitely grab that Miz too since we finally got one in Red, scan looks good from the pictures too. I pre-ordered Boss Man for the next run so I am feeling really good about that purchase from these pictures, looks amazing.
Not sure how I feel about that Ryder. I mean I think it's great but it's sort of weird without his headband. I will probably never see it at retail so it may not matter but I would like to see it in person to decide if I want it or not. I'm sure Ryder will be getting plenty more figures though.
If that Del Rio had his past head scan it would be incredible, lucky for me I have an extra so I will be picking this up when I see it. The Cena is in desperate need of a head swap as well, not sure why they decided he needs to look half bald. Will get both but not impressed that I have to swap those out.

Looks to be a great Elite series. Don't see a peg warmer in bunch! Del Rio is possible, but I think the briefcase and title belt will help him move off the shelves.
I'm in for Rock, Boss Man, and Booker for sure. I'll have to see what Taker looks like in person before deciding.

Ordered WMH Taker, Warrior and Eddie along with Booker and Bossman, so I should get that soon! I ordered the set of B17 when it was back-ordered, but they have gotten extras in before, so I may get lucky and get that set in as well.
Won't be keeping the Rey, if anyone wants it, feel free to PM me.

Just realised the Undertaker elite is just the WM26 figure with a headswap.

Really liking the 2 flashback figs in Elite 14. Those will be the only 2 from that I'll get. Basic 17 is pretty lackluster if you ask me. I'll get Riley for sure and I was planning on getting Ryder but the head just doesn't look right. So I guess I'll wait until we get some closer pics before I make up my mind. The rest I'll probably pass on.

Hate to say it, but most of these figures (scans) look terrible. Zack Ryder is really bad... glad I didn't pre-order it now, but still will get it when it hits stores.
Most excited for Booker T, Bossman, and The Rock.
