Mattel WWE Elite Discussion Thread

[Johnas]

The last Elite Charlotte did indeed have the same boots as her Ultimate. They've used the same boots on a Bianca Belair Elite too. The Shotzi Elite even has toe articulation and her boot mold has only been used for her. It's maddening when they use the wrong parts, especially Basic boots on Elites.

The Elite 100 Rock is such a mess. The Elvis sideburns were squarely late 1998 to the first half of 1999 but he didn't wear the trunks on the figure until 2001. I think the football jersey he comes with is from after he trimmed his sideburns too.

Anyone in on the WCW Nitro stage? Looks great and is pretty tempting.

The figures are very tempting and while the stage looks fantastic i don't have anywhere to actually put it so $400 is tough if it never gets displayed

Definitely don't have the space but probably in. Warrior and another deflated Hogan drag it down a bit but there's also not a ton of guys they currently have access to that they could put in there.

Singles run Booker T or heel Eddie would have been nice and probably wouldn't get retail Ultimates releases.

Weird selection of figures.

A good WCW Hogan would be awesome, but this is just a WWF Hogan with a bad bandanna.

Terrible Warrior.

I agree. The rest are either great choices or just desired figures; Hogan and Warrior feel like token inclusions. Warrior is there to sell to the hardcore "gotta catch em all" WWF Warrior collectors who would pass otherwise. I'd prefer a street gear Goldberg to Warrior. Hogan is an absolute pass, we've gotten so many Hogans in the last three years that I can't tell them apart. Personally when I think Nitro I think Hollywood Hogan, anyways. This "samey" WWF Hogan as you said isn't too interesting.

[TheMadcapLaughs]

The Hogan inclusion makes no sense. He's based on his appearance in the first ever Nitro, but the first ever Nitro didn't even feature the entrance stage since it was filmed in the Mall of America.

A Dean Malenko, Eddie, Flair with short hair, or the it'll never happen now Lionheart Chris Jericho would be better choices.

I have the first elite ring and retro steel cage that are in storage, so there's no way I'm backing this when I didn't even back the last one, and I had more of a connection to that one.

Great Muta
La Parka
Glacier
Mortis
Buff Bagwell
Kiss Demon
Raven
Disco Inferno
G.I. Bro
Tigress

Would have all been better choices to get me to buy the arena.

[vicious7171]

Oh man I'd be all over this set if it came with La Parka. A lot of those would be great figures but a La Parka Ultimate would just be amazing.

Picked up Target exclusive Macho Man Ultimate today for $16 on clearance...this figure sucks! Lmao. Just a heads up to anyone who sees this guy and feels like picking him up on a whim. He's wayyy too skinny. I honestly don't even know what to do with him. His arms are the thinnest mold, they look like the kind of arms you'd give a Dominik Mysterio figure. His shoulders are stained from the shirt. Just nothing special here. I'll likely try to swap some legs and make this into an Ultimate of another character bc this doesn't work. Worse than his Elites. Looks like a guy in a Halloween costume.

Other than the stupid GI Bro Booker T, nobody else on that list even has a contract with WWE/Mattel.

My list at least took into account people we know have had or currently get new figures. Hell, even another Lex Luger would work, and give the man a little money his way.

[MisplacedProjectile]

I don't have space for that Nitro playset, but it looks absolutely incredible and really captures the brightness and magic of that era. Looking at it reminds me of getting the Toy Biz Nitro Arena playset, which was one of my all time greatest teenage purchases.

Very sad that so many figures I'd love to own are being bundled in with this thing. I want the Hogan and DDP figures particularly badly. Oh well.

[Zombie F-Body]

If I had the money and space. I'm a Hogan mark so any Hogan is good for me. Pretty much just want that Steiner but I'm sure Elites and other Ultimate Editions will be coming. Amazon has a pre-order for the Ultimates Thundercats Thundertank that I'm trying to put money aside for. Expensive electronics keep dying on me too though and my vet is taking advantage of the bad economy and charging $2K for a teeth cleaning for my dog now! I've said it about Haslab too, and I just don't find this to be the economy for expensive crowdfunders.

[Mr_Saver]

I really want a figure of the man with the undeniable kavorka. LA Knight. Yeaaah!

Legends 19 is popping up. Saw Samu and Fatu at Target. Did a fast brickseek search and it showed Hogan in stock at the store so I asked a kid restocking and he got it from the back for me. Didn't want to press my luck on Paulie. I will be haunting stores until I find him on the pegs though.

Hogan is great. I'm a Hogan mark and this hits a critical spot in my collection. I think I'm good on WCW Hogans now. Don't need all the unique Hollywood looks.
