E45 Roman Reigns vs TRU Network figure. Which one is better?

[mad2009]

I just got E45 Roman & thinking about getting his TRU network figure. Upon looking at pictures of it online they look exactly alike. Am I wrong? Which one is better/more accurate. Thanks in advance.

Network hands down.

One of Mattel's finest. I like E45 too, but the gold on the NS makes it more unique imo. Plus, it was the biggest, brightest moment of his career.

Main eventing a Wrestlemania and winning the title? It doesn't get bigger than that.

there is a Wrestlemania singles basic that has the arms and vest and a BattlePack release that has that same figure with Shameaus in a shirt if you like the aspect of the TRU exclusive that differentiates it from the regular elite with the same head sculpt which is the vest color and the forearm gauntlets which are painted on and has "Roman Reigns" painted on the left arm. (the regular elite has the arms that most of last years' Roman figures have had, which is the free floating piece on both arms and just his right hand is painted with the RR logo. , the new vest (the TRU has it too, the TRU is gold) the regular is white and is purple on the triangles on the back. if you know how to and are comfortable with swapping parts, and you can't get the TRU I think you can still make it up exactly

Dude, your writing style is really hard to read. Just saying.

E45 doesn't have painted on wrist guards so that gets my vote.

[Rated [R] NinJa]

All depends on whether you prefer a white 'RR' logo or a gold. I prefer E45, plus his gauntlets are better.

[BOOM! #WDE]

I debated over getting the Network one versus the E45 one and ended up going with E45. Some people are saying the E45 logo is white. It isn't. It is actually silver. It is a pretty awesome figure. I prefer silver, but it is up to you. They both come with the title. E45 has the actual wrist guards though, compared to painted on one's with the Network one.

I prefer E45. The TRU figure doesn't have the wrist gauntlets and it drives me crazy. Beyond that though, I just prefer the color scheme on E45. The gold is meh imo and his match with HHH at Mania 32 was the sh*ts. If you can ignore the gauntlets though, it really just is personal preference.

Does the elite 45 have the same vest material as his older elites (harder plastic) or is it the same as the TRU Network one?(softer, more rubbery plastic)

[dynamitekido]

Honestly they're so similar there isn't much difference. I had them both side by side and chose the Network elite. I think Mattel killed it with both of them for the most part. One of the best scans they've done IMO.

[One Punch Reigns]

It all depends, they're more or less the same with the biggest difference being the gauntlets, one molded the other painted. I prefer E45, but if you like exclusives, Network Spotlight might be up your alley.

[Lorenzo Alcazar]

I got Network Spotlight because I like the way the gold vest looked.

[Hound]

Network cause the vest has actual detail unlike the e45 one

[tylergfromthe513]

Honestly they're so similar that I had zero interest in either one. Not a RR fan. When you're different "attires" consist of different color trim around your lettering there is a problem. Wish they would go in a different direction honestly.

They figures and accessories from both are exactly the same except for the paint on roman's vest/arms.

Which i think is really sad that this double dipping + re-releasing is the new norm.

The figure and belt sets themselves are nice though, so just pick which vest you like better white or gold.

My area has elite 45 no where so it made it a very easy choice.
