I have zero issues with re-releases on rare/underproduced/old/expensive figures. But some of these re-releases seem questionable at best. Wrestling is on a wave, and Mattel is probably reaping the rewards of that. But it feels like they're throwing out content pretty fast. Maybe I'm just salty because I don't have either of the RSC exclusive Hogans and would have loved a re-release of either of them. they really are over-using the re-release concept IMO. with the WWE being so popular again it would actually be the perfect time to get some CURRENT talent out. a lot of people still watch, and want to collect. They showed what? 8 Bret Harts tonight? you mean to tell me a couple of those couldnt have been updated figures or new first time in the line current talent? Those Bret harts, hogans and others are not taking any spots for any current talent, those figures are in themed line. Also the WM 18 Hogan first release was a let down, now that they got a new torso and a the tan that’s where common sense comes in. |

Just realized Khali is the build a figure in that Rumble set, which is not ideal but that’s alright because I actually want all four of the other figures

Rude and the newly tooled big gold belt are the highlights for me.

They had that torso AND tan when Wrestlemania Hollywood Hogan was released the first time...they just botched it. but I don't have "common sense"? |

I wish they did that Shawn as a UE, but it better come with entrance gear. |

Some highlights for me:
MNW Razor looks awesome, really love how that one came out. The Syxx chase is very meh and the re-releases are okay (Bam Bam being ever so slightly different is very cheeky). I love the BAFs we have coming for the next few sets at least.
The Evolution 3-pack is neat, but that cloth suit did get me to actually lol.
The Elite tag team packs came out great, hopefully that concept sticks around for a bit and we empty out some more teams in need of an update.
LOVE that we're getting a Finkel BAF. Much needed.
Rude/Sid Legends set is great, but those two are highlights for me. Scans and gear on those absolutely rule.
I wanted that exact Sheamus updated (but was hoping for soft goods), so I'm happy with it. Do we really need chases in the greatest hits and vault lines now?
Will go out of my way to find that Hogan/Mean Gene main event pack, looks awesome.
Having to buy another ring to get the UE Rhea is the major letdown for me. Some great stuff shown today though.

The Ravishing one is the highlight of the night for me- FINALLY a WCW Rick Rude and with a chase!. Love the tights design on both and the head looks great- can't wait to see the robe he comes with. Best of all he's in the Legends line, I hope this wave comes out around the holidays, that might increase the odds that Toys R Us picks it up, saving me a trip across the border. AWESOME |

Man. Especially after years of truly atrocious basics, these Main Event figures look really great.

I wonder why mattel lacks making kurt angles. I mean we have one representation of him from 2002 to 2006. What are we doing? That's his most iconic period. They should be pumping them out one after another. Easy repaints. I don't get it.

Great showing so far! The WCW Rude's (both of them) are the winners for me.
Also loving the new Sid and Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw.
