i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=album&album=2010_SDCC%2FPreview_Night%2FMattel&start=0Umm...wow. -Entrance Greats Series 3 Corporate Rock and Classic Undertaker prototypes? Check. -Elite Series 6 prototypes? Check. -Legends 2-packs Series 1 AND 2 prototypes? Check. -Basic 2-packs Series 6 AND 7 prototypes? Check. -Basic Series 6 AND 7 prototypes, minus Sheamus and Tatsu (for now)? Check. -Extreme Rules ring playset with a load of accessories/weapons included? Check. -Basic Rey Mysterio 1995-2005 Collection 6-figure boxed set? Check. -MIB image of the Elite Scale Ring? Check. -Loose/MOC figures for all of the Series 5 and Legends Series 1 and 2 figures we've seen thus far? Again, check. This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest preview days for wrestling figure collectors.

Nothing short of amazing, and apparently we still have at least the reveal of Tatsu, Sheamus, AND Elite 7 to go!

Knox was released, but the figs was probably too far along in the production process to cut from the series. Same with Hurricane.
That's Kofi Kingston between Taker and Rey. It says "Kofi" right there on his tights.
Oh, and apparently Legends 3 & 4 will be revealed during their panel as well.

Obviously, the major drawbacks here are pricing (how will Mattel handle Legends 2-packs going forward?) and the distribution schedule (will everything shown be rushed for a Fall 2010 release? Before the end of 2010?).
If the series were spaced out better, I wouldn't have as hard of a time trying to keep in mind that it will be difficult to afford everything I want. The Legends/Entrance Greats figures will be killers.

Seriously, Legends Series 3 and 4 is going to be ridiculous.
Fucking look at the Classic IC belt with Perfect, and all of the added removable gear and accessories for each figure.
Not to mention, for the Elite collectors out there, the seventh series could be one of the most detailed yet. I know I'll get McCool, Sheamus, and Tatsu from Basic Series 7, at the very least, and all of the Legends figures.

In less than a year Mattel has managed to blow away EVERYTHING Jakks did in their entire run.
Absolutely amazing.

jakks were so much better, figures suck now Mattel has its flaws, but there are nowhere near as many as Jakks had during its run. That's not even an opinion really, it's fact. |

Thats cool to see someone finally getting Macho Man.
As detailed and as nice as Mattels figures look, I always will prefer Jakks. Glad I stopped collecting when I did.
