it seems like we're going backwards in the scan department. instead of getting better they are getting worse. all that basic set does for me is make me glad i bought the 2 pack Riley.

For the most past, the basics (except Miz, Henry and Ziggler) look awful and the elites look good (except Del Rio.)
Mattel should be embarrassed to sell that Riley. His scan looks like an evil character from a 1950s sitcom. The Ryder is bad as well. This is another Mysterio head scan that gives him a pinhead look.
As for the elites, none of them leap out and grab me enough to buy before retail. However, the Big Boss Man and Booker T look very nice. The Miz scan is the best I've seen of him. I'm sad to see that his red attire won't be in elite form. The Del Rio scan is another awful one. Mattel, what's the deal with these lousy scans?
Bad Scans: Riley, Del Rio, Ryder and Mysterio

I am clearly in the minority that thinks Riley's scan is better than the two-pack version :/

Love all the new scans. Henry, Miz, Ryder & Riley all look great. Can't wait for my Bossman to get here later this week.

I am clearly in the minority that thinks Riley's scan is better than the two-pack version :/ I'm with you on this one Goldie! I personally love the set of B17, except Rey because the BP is still my favorite. If anything, I am disappointed with E14. I ordered Bossman and Booker because they are fantastic, but another Cena, even though we are getting another in the BOPPV set, another Rock, yes he is in his ring attire, but his head looks like it is way too high on the neck. Del Rio looks good, but E12 is much better, especially the head. Undertaker; glad he has a new coat, but it's just the WM26 with a different head. Just in my personal opinion, B17 minus Rey is great and the FB in E14 are great. All the others are easy passes.

Loving the new scans for Riley and Miz, much improved. I'm not sure what i think of Ryder's yet, but i like it. I'll probably get those 3, and Elite Rock.

Am I the only one who thinks ADR's scan looks a lot like him? I prefer the smirk on the one I have now, but the likeness is still there

Discounting Del Rio's head sculpt, series 14 might be the best Elite set to date.

Not bad.. But I absolutely LOATHE the rock's shirt. It looks frigging intellectually- disabled in my opinion. But I'll still get it and get rid of the shirt I guess.

Mattel as we know is continuing it's Legends lines partially through Elites as Elite Flashbacks, and Booker T and Bossman meet the usual criteria for WWE Mattel legends:
1. Non-iconic look 2. Or attire they used for a short period of time

I usually like jakks classics better than Mattel, but the Bossman is leaps & bounds better than the travesty that came out in Jakks line. I'll have to grab one

Or attire they used for a short period of time 1. Both of Bossman's looks are iconic...he's kind of like Sting where plenty of people remember the early career just as well if not better than their later career. 2. A Booker T that isn't King Booker would have either 0 accessories or just a t-shirt. This one will look awesome on display and also fill in as an awesome Booker T in the Legends OR current collection.

I want Corporation Bossman MUCH more than classic and even I agree that his classic attire is just as popular as the SWAT (now if they made Big Bubba Rogers, THEN we might have an issue)
Booker however I will agree with completely. I would rather have a 2001 Booker with no extras than King Booker with the crown and stuff that will just get thrown in a bin. Heck, he was a 5x WCW Champ, give him a WHC belt

WWE Series 17 Case breakdown note. Ryder was suppose to be 1 per case but it looks like they changed things up and Ryder is now 2 per case and Alex Riley was reduced to one per case now. -Trevor Ringside Can the price be lowered on him then if possible? You can make Alex Riley 34.99 all you want though.
