Hoping for new legends today but not really getting my hopes up
I hear ya but it looks like the legends well has dried up. 
We asked for Haku, Hercules, Koko B. Ware, One Man Gang, Brother Love, Mr. Fuji and they give us Mae Young, Rocky Johnson and friggin' Rocco?! At this rate, we should also see The Goon, Norman Smiley and Tom Prichard (all have been under legends deals in recent years). Its clear that none of the in demand wrestlers are available and likely never will be as WWE doesn't seem to have any interest in signing any of them to deals.
The legends line has turned into re-hash central, containing figures of guys we have already gotten figures of before (and in most cases several figures of them). Thus far the only first time in the line is Greg Valentine- if they don't have many new faces then what was the point of resurrecting the line?! This line seems to be geared towards those who got into collecting late or have only recently started collecting, which is not a bad thing but it would be nice to see the odd new face thrown in for those who already have figures of Beefcake, M$M, Volkoff, Orndorff, etc.

Great stuff for a virtual Comic Con. Congrats.
Biggest winners for me has to be the Viking Raiders. Those figures look amazing

Is there suppose to be more reveals today? Nothing more today and probably some basics and battlepacks tomorrow and Monday. Just gotta say, this was a stellar comic con. The WCW belts definitely made this whole SDCC for me, but some of the figures we’re getting, Piper/Mr. T, ultimate Macho, WM9 HBK, Chyna, Stunning Steve, Davey Boy, are just icing on the date. |

Agree, terrific reveals. My guess at the next reveal we will get more Hogans |

Also hoping to see another Chyna before the Wrestlemania one next year. |

I was surprised we didn't see a Walter figure I have a feeling we may get Walter as a basic first. His gear is so plain and Toni Storm being a basic, they may work the few NXT UK talent that can get figures into the basic line. I mean, Keith Lee wasn’t doing much when his Basic was made but Riddle and Lars were pushed very strongly is regular NXT before starting as Basics. |

Morrison looks great apart from those ridiculously oversized elbow pads. They should be corrected before release as they look laughably bad!

There’s so much greatness here. That Io figure is INSANE. I can’t wait to get that! I’m beyond excited for Candice LeRae. I’ve been following her career forever so it’s really cool to see her getting her first figure. Mattel really knows how to destroy my wallet. im really excited about her, tegan nox, Dakota Kai, and Toni storm because I’ve been fans of all them since well before they came to nxt. same. My only gripe is that they both look to be in their heel looks. I wish we got them sooner and we're wearing gear similar to their indie career. |

Pretty darn happy with a lot of the reveals will definitely be trying to get the Kane; DDP and Morrison - been hoping for the SS 01 Kane for a long time; Shirai looks ridiculous too but I don't really collect the female wrestlers.

It is called gargano syndrome. Must be Mattel’s version of “The Cleveland Curse”. |

I like the basic Funhouse Bray a lot more than the exclusive elite, but I’d have to get both because of the puppets with the elite.

The elite seems to have taken the cheapest route possible to make up for all the new tooling with the puppets. Unfortunate, but understandable. I think in the end it’ll be worth it to pick up both. |

Stunning Steve looks great & it’s in the regular elite line. Yes!

I gotta say, I hate to be negative but this is true. For the folks like me that don't buy EVERYTHING and we already have all these legends that they're rereleasing in different decos -- what is really that exciting and surprising? We knew Hollywood was coming. I'm glad they made Beefcake to go with the Hammer but it's not a huge WOW! moment. And Stunning Steve is great but what about guys like Harley Race? They could totally repackaged him into something awesome and new. I'm actually really surprised we haven't seen Harley appear again already. |

Hopefully they retool the elite funhouse bray before release because the basic looks better and that’s something I wasn’t expecting to say.
