Mattel has posted pictures of their WWE Elite Collection Series 8 on their Facebook page.
I’m going to nitpick here a little. Comparing series 8 Edge with his series 1 figure, I’m glad Mattel and the WWE have started including facial sculpts with some emotion – but some of them are a little extreme, and in combination with what appears to be more simplistic paint apps, these are starting to lose some of the “realism” that I appreciated earlier in the line.
You ever get the feeling that a toy line was made just for you? That’s how I feel about Mattel’s WWE Legends line. They’re making the wrestlers I want and giving them top notch sculpts and articulation. Let’s have a quick look at the Ultimate Warrior, Demolition, and the Rock – the latest Legends I’ve picked up.

I was in Kmart a few days ago hunting some Mattel WWE Elite wrestling figures to use for customs and had the good fortune to find WWE Legends Series 4.

1) This may be a question for the Four Horsemen – what’s desired for the DC Universe Classics line for head size? Some of the early figures had heads on the smaller size, like Batman and Aquaman, while some of the more recent figures seem to have oversized heads, like Guy Gardner, Alan Scott, and OMAC. Is this an intentional move to make the heads bigger?
Sometimes it is intentional, based on character; sometimes it is due to tooling issues. We do strive for consistency but it is not a perfect world and sometimes not everything comes out the way design wants. In some cases, like with the corrected height Sinestro coming to TRU next month, we try to fix things when we can!
