Hang on. That Wrestlemania Liv.
Did they LITERALLY paint on her belly button? Is that where we are at now, they won't even sculpt on the women's belly buttons?
Ay dios mio.

Looks like they could use that face mask for a Virgil figure.  |

Of course the Austin in the shirt that’s been my top want for years is a basic.
Plus side is we got a Tribal Chief Roman Reigns with the WWE Championship around his waist Mint On Card.

Ok. Mattel.
MATTEL.
Break down the thought process for me on this one.
Why was it necessary to alter a rerelease figure of Seth Rollins to have a soft stomach from a point in time when he was still being called Crossfit Jesus, but when you made Ultimate Edition Kevin Owens, you used a bespoke torso that was not only far too short, but reflected absolutely NONE of the weight Kevin had worked his a** off to lose by that point.
Why is it ok to make figures inaccurately fat but not accurately lean?
Look me in the eyes and ANSWER QUICKLY.

Would someone please explain the paper bag accessory to me? Cody seems to be a superhero/comic book fan, and the bag reminds me of a comic in which Spidey had to leave the Fantastic Four’s headquarters without his costume (due to the alien Symbiote getting separated from him), and the prankster Johnny Storm outfitted him with an old FF costume and a paper bag: The Amazing Bombastic Bag-Man! Hasbro even made a figure of him recently. The entire point of the gimmick was that he WAS "dashing" Cody Rhodes. Then he suffered a facial injury and was "UNdashing Cody Rhodes", hence the face mask and the paper bag over his head. Thanks for the history lesson!  |

Main Event Austin would have looked better in jean shorts. Those Seth and Batista figures didn't need to be "rescued". There is a reason retail didn't want that wave last year. That's a good evil picture of Liv on the carding. Steamboat's head looks too small. Hopefully it's better in person, I like those attires.
Main Event Solo looks good. All of Chase U for me. That style of shirt doesn't look as good on Roman as is does for Cena, but I'll get it.
Main Event 2-packs - Hate those legs and boots on the Rock, but will buy it for the Cena.
Top Picks - That Roman is what I was expecting, but was hoping to be surprised with something a little different.

Where do you see these pictures? You might be talking about the pictures of the cancelled WM40 series which leaked once. RSC IG, its main event series 152. Yes Batista and Rollins are from the lost set. So that's how they keep the WM Basic line alive. It's similar to the SummerSlam basics when they kept numbers from the main line but included different packaging. I'm pretty disappointed with this set. First of all it doesn't have the WM Vegas theme. It also has really poor figure choices. Rollins and Batista are the same figures as Wrestlemania 36 Series. And I don't even know what WrestleManias are these Steamboats based on. They could've at least included that Muhammad Ali figure. |

Ah yes Mean Gene being the same height as Hogan seems like a Mattel thing to do 😂

Absolutely incredible parts choices in these new reveals lmao
Does that Top Picks Jey have the Matt Hardy torso or Daniel Bryan torso like E106?

TRUST ME buddy, I can tell you after this past week with absolute sobering uncertainty sadly…it’s not that serious man. You don’t have to buy one…I haven’t bitten on half of the GH myself and didn’t leave a wink of sleep. Good for you. It's not about whether or not you or I get any greatest hits. It irks me that they recognised that their Ultimate Edition figures needed correcting even at a premium price and they are going to put out a superior figure for a lesser price. They should get these things right the first time. They’ve done it before with Eddie in the Ultimate line…trust me…the 13 year old figure is better…unintentionally…but still… |

Victoria just tweeted that she signed a WWE Nostalgia deal (assume it’s just a different name for Legends), but it includes video games and new merch, so hopefully that means some Victoria figures getting released.

I think the GH looks great. The Mean Gene/Hogan pack is INCREDIBLE. Better than many elites. The rest of the basics are pretty terrible. Punk looks nothing like him, same for Batista, the Austin is also a total miss. Thea Hall looks good |
