I can’t figure out how they make this spot on awesome Chad Gable head they used on that elite, but they continue to use this head that Bill from Mattel even stated at the time was a miss and they would go back to the drawing board on.

Was is SO HARD to give Triple H a handlebar stache head? Like, the look he had during that DX run? Plus his attire is so poorly done, his logos are tiny and the DX is so small, plus i don't think he ever wore 'DX' elbow pads.
At least HBK looks good though, THANK GOD they finally used a GOOD head and not that terrible ponytail head. Only thing that would've made that HBK better is if it was Elite.
Kevin and Sami look atrocious, Reject Shop is where they belong. Didn't someone from Mattel say in an interview a few years ago that they would NEVER paint on shirts other than guys who wrestle in them?
Shelton's head is way too big and his arms are so tiny, his attire is cool though.
Gable actually looks good, that would've made a great Elite to go with the E63 Shelton.
All in all, even though it'd make no sense, just put HBK and Gable together and release that as BP58. Since they're the only 2 good figures in the set.

Of course that Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable aren't teaming up we get the battle pack. The DX pack and Owens/Zayn are decent solid set of figures.

Ah, so they just headswapped the old Superstar Match-Ups figs of DX and re-released them. Nice.
Also, Shelton looks like he's been drinking too much of a certain tonic that's rich in proteins and electromagnetic juices.

Someone at Mattel really loved that YEP YEP YEP thing.

Makes me wonder if anyone at Mattel has actually seen Shelton Benjamin (...the guy is freaking massive!).

These are awful 🤦🏼♂️ Just really bad. Look so cheap could pass as knock offs. Using scans from years ago & skipping detail on gear. THIS. They look like dollar store knockoffs. I think they improved the paint app on that hbk, but it’s time for mattel to retire that scan. They need to make a new mid 2000’s hbk scan if they plan on releasing figures from that era.

I feel like so many better attires could’ve been chosen for hbk and hhh such as from the night they first teamed and faced taker and mankind..... something just less dull and plain

DX is really the only standout for me and even then it's for their heads mostly. That Shawn is too good and will soon be on my Walgreens or RSC DX figure.
The rest are meh

I'm SO happy I dont buy basics any more. Saving me about $1,400 a year! You were buying 140 Basics a year? I never did the math but in 2012, 2013, and 2014 I bought every WWE figure released, so every basic and battlepack included. That was so much money I'm actually pretty mad with myself because I finally now own a house and I could've maybe had one sooner or at least had nice furniture, lol.

I will get DX mainly because I don’t pass on Triple H figures., but I wish it was from when HBK wore tights instead of the baggy pants. HBK’s head looks great and I am glad they are giving us that Triple H head again. Hopefully they scaled it a little larger this time, because I felt it was slightly on the smaller side on it’s original release. I would have gotten the Gavle/Benjamin set, but Shelton’s head looks big on that torso and his arms are small especially seeing his Rlite has the Triple H arms.

Nothing spectacular besides Shawn's head. Hopefully the Marlana/Goldust pack is really coming. I haven't bought a singla basic since the last Alicia Fox. Where'd you hear about that...?
