I agree with you. You wouldn't be able to bend the legs! Hopefully Mattel doesn't get that cheap! The Rock needs a completely new upper body. His abs are better than the torso they gave his figure, and his arms are bigger than at any point in his full time career, and his torso mold needs a thicker neck. The legs are fine. Also with the rubber shirt mold....I usually hate those, but I actually think that rubber shirt will look good on the TRU exclusive WM27 Rock. I think a rubber shirt and cloth pants on the same figure looks bad because obviously cloth and rubber are two different materials with two different looks and feels. But on the WM27 figure with the pants molded on, the rubber shirt will probably look good. I will put the "I BRING IT" shirt on the Elite 14 Rock figure with the cloth pants. Yea seriously the rubber shirt doesn't look good with those track pants. Soon enough they are gonna give us rubber pants  That would be baaaad. With Elite 12 Orton's rubber shirt, it stops you from being able to move the arms because of the sleeves. At least with E14 Rock, the rubber shirt is a tank top so it doesn't constrict the arm movement. But Cloth/Rubber on the same figure doesn't mix. I will put that rubber tank top on WM27 Rock. |

First of all: I won't say anything to the Basic Series because I don't buy Basics. But the first thing I thought as I saw them all: What happened to the head-scans? It doesn't get any worser than the headscans of Miz and Ryder. Only the headscan of Riley became better. Elite 14Alberto Del Rio: This figure is better than I first thought as we got the first protos of him. I'm glad they change the attire, but the headscan is just... well, it's more than terrible. I don't know how Mattel could do a big mistake like this. The only things that are good on this figure are the attire (especially the boots and the kneepads), the briefcase and the WWE Championship. I'm fine with Elite 12 Del Rio. If I have had more money, I would have bought this Del Rio. But only for the attire I don't make a headswitch! Undertaker: I'm one of the biggest Undertaker fans today. As we saw the protos I was sure to pre-order him! I always wanted that Mattel makes this attire and finally they made it. It's one of my favorite attires of The Undertaker. It's not nothing new, but I'm a big fan of him and so I want this figure! Big Boss Man: I'm not a collector of Flashback figures, only when they make Legends who I always wanted (e.g. The Rock in Elite 3)! But I have to give a feedback. The scan is very good and the rest is also great. If I have been a fan of him, I would have bought him. But like I said, I don't buy flashbacks and I was never a fan of Big Boss Man! King Booker: Just like the Undertaker I pre-ordered him as we got protos of him. I'm not a big fan of the King Booker Gimmick, but I'll need him as Booker T. Don't understand me wrong, the accessories are awesome, but I don't need them really. That the hair stands up isn't a big problem. They did the same with Elite 8 Undertaker, glad that they improved this at his Elite 14 Figure! John Cena: As I start collecting Mattel Figures in early 2011, I bought John Cena Elite 7. Then I got Elite 11 John Cena and the headscan was better. Now we are having Elite 14 John Cena and the headscan became once again better and we got a new torso. The red attire is one of my favorite attires of John Cena! I also pre-ordered him! The Rock: I wanted to pre-order him, but I didn't do it for some reasons. Just one week ago I decided to get him and so I pre-ordered him. And now I'm seeing the figure and I just can say: Why the hell you didn't want it? It just looks fantastic!!! I think I didn't want him because his arms look so slim on the first pictures. But I'm glad that they improved him and now the figure is PERFECT. My favorite figure of Elite 14! The headscan is awesome, the body is awesome, the tattoos are awesome... and OMG, he's also coming with a shirt and with pants! And finally (think about that The Rock says it)... finally, we're getting one more micro  ! I'm already having four micros, but more micros are better. There's nothing I can complaine about it and I'm glad that we are getting a Rocky in his today attire. All in one: The Elite 14 Series is really great. Every figure, except for Alberto Del Rio's headscan, is awesome. Like I said I pre-ordered The Rock, Undertaker, Booker T and John Cena! I'm looking forward to get them. Great work, Mattel! But now I want to know who is in Elite 15! |

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 Cool. What's the case breakdown for E14? How many of The Rock? |

Just noticed that. Is The Rock's picture doing a Stone Cold? (pointing a middle finger) |

Have the case breakdowns been listed for basic 17 and elite 14. I might order another Boss Man to make an nWo Big Bubba. Mattel is really nailing the big men the Boss Man blows away the Jakks cs one.

Ryder looks plain awful.. SMH son! I'm still going to get him but at retail tho. Ziggler is hella outdated. Great fig, but outdated.. I am a huge DZ fan so i will deff be buying this even tho its really really outdated. I'll past on everyone else in the series. I'm not impressed one bit with the others tbh. From E14 i will possibly just get Rock and Booker.

LMAO at The Rock's middle finger. I wonder if it will get recalled or have a running change.

The Basic wave looks like a very ordinary series... (no-one "new"  ). For the most part, I'm happy with their previous versions - although I might pick up a single-carded Riley if I see him. Elite S14 though... WOW. The Rock - awesome... and the pants don't look too baggy, like on previous Elite figures that had pants. Cena, Undertaker, Bossman - perfect! Del Rio - hmm... I don't think the new scan really works(?), but he comes with a MITB case and a SHINY belt which is very cool (...makes me wonder why the S11 Miz couldn't have a shiny belt...?) King Booker - fantastic. I loved the King Booker gimmick - and without the King get-up, you have a great regular Booker-T figure. The only way it could have been improved would be if the figure came with a changeable hand that has his pinky-finger raised... All Hail King Bookahhh!! Nice work, Mattel.  It would be cool if they packed 2 of The Rock and either Bossman, Booker or Del Rio per case... but you just know it will be Cena and Undertaker, lol. |

I've ordered Bossman, Booker T, Undertaker and ADR and im happy with them all.
I dont like the headscan of ADR like others have said so a headswap and the scarf from is last Elite will be added!
I will probebly display Booker T with my 97-early 2000's without the crown, cape and staff (septim?)...
Cena - Will get WM plus part with Cole
Rock - I have WM TRU so I didnt think I needed it....and still dont... Same old Same old (plus more expensive online)
As for the basics....
I think the Ryder is an improvment and I can imagine he will come with a headband on his next elite which will really improve the look. Will wait for next Elite
Riley is a improvment too but his head is too fat and possibly the body too slender. Will wait for Elite I think
Miz I think his is ok too but they may have put too much into his lips. He seems to be pouting.
But may get to add a different head to one of my Elite Miz's.
Henry Great. Will wait for next elite though.
Rey. Im pritty sure they have used this head before. Im stopping getting every Rey now as its getting a bit boring. Will only get his Elites from now on. Better body though.
Dont like short haired Ziggler and am happy with newest elite with B10 headswap.

I think im going to get every figure except del rio. His head scan looks weird and if you look closely it is just the miz elite 11 brief case and elite 8 sheamus wwe championship which I have both of.
