New leaked WWE lineups for Elite 54-60, TNF and Hall of Fame 6

WWEFigureInsider is back again with a new slew of Instagram post with a new leaked list of upcoming WWE figures. Whether these are accurate or have some changes, the one obvious sign is Mattel is pulling back on the Flashback figures. There’s very little in Elite 54 through 60 suggesting 2018 won’t be a disappointing year for Flashback collectors.

Elite 54

  • John Cena
  • Jey Uso
  • Jimmy Uso
  • Bray Wyatt
  • Rich Swann
  • Charlotte

I like the revamped Usos so if the figures are of their new street style look, I’ll grab them. Maybe Swann too. Cena could be an option if he has a new cloth shirt. Charlotte is quickly approaching overkill levels.

Elite 55

  • James Ellsworth
  • Brock Lesnar
  • Big Cass
  • Enzo
  • Neville
  • The Undertaker (Flashback)

I’m hoping this Undertaker is a classic 1998 Attitude Era. The latest Network Spotlight figure sported the right outfit, but the Ministry of Darkness era head sculpt. Depending on the how he turns out, he’s the only pick up here. I still can’t believe we’re really getting a James Ellsworth figure.

Elite 56

  • Samoa Joe
  • AJ Styles
  • Roman Reigns
  • Jack Gallagher
  • Luke Gallows
  • Karl Anderson

Sign me up for half of this line pending AJ’s outfit. I’m definitely getting Anderson and Gallows to finally get more members to my Mattel Bullet Club collection. No need for another Joe and a minor change to the Reigns figures.

Elite 57

  • Baron Corbin
  • Tye Dillenger
  • Seth Rollins
  • Jeff Hardy
  • Shinsuke Nakamura
  • Scotty 2 Hotty

If Hardy is a Flashback, I’ll get him along with Scotty. This is a dull lineup otherwise since the modern superstars rarely make significant changes to their outfits.

Elite 58

  • Dean Ambrose
  • Braun Strowman
  • Matt Hardy
  • Sheamus
  • Cesaro
  • Mickie James

This could be an 0-fer lineup if Hardy isn’t in Flashback attire.

Elite 59

  • Kurt Angle
  • Chad Gable
  • Jason Jordan
  • Zack Ryder
  • The Miz
  • Finn Balor

This wave is more interesting. I’ve yet to see the Then Now Forever versions of American Alpha so this could fill the gap. Angle is a must-buy as the first 1st in the line Flashback in several waves. I’m down to get an Elite Finn since I’m apparently never going to finish my custom.

MORE:

Elite 60

  • John Cena
  • Kofi Kingston
  • Kevin Owens
  • Andre the Giant
  • Aleister Black
  • Elias Sampson

Ugh. How many times can Mattel milk the Andre the Giant figure? I’ve got three and didn’t really try. It’s bizarre how Mattel will continually crank out Andre figures with little distinction and ignore guys like Surfer Sting, Bret Hart, Razor Ramon, DDP or Lex Luger? With the amount of Flashbacks being drastically reduced making another figure of a guy whose look really didn’t change is a puzzling decision.

Two-packs

Series 49

  • Stephanie McMahon/Mick Foley
  • Cesaro/Sheamus
  • Daniel Bryan/The Miz

Series 50

  • Ascension
  • Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows
  • Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt

Series 51

  • The Revival
  • Miz and Maryse
  • Big E and Xavier Woods

Series 52

  • Big Cass/Enzo
  • Usos
  • Lesnar vs Roman Reigns

Series 53

  • Carmella and ?
  • Nakamura and Dolph Ziggler
  • Hardy Boyz

The two-packs are interesting. Nothing really all that exciting save for what attire choice Mattel will go with for Maryse this time.

Hall of Fame

After some lengthy delays and rumors of the line being shelved, Hall of Fame 6 looks to be a reality. That lineup is promising on paper at least. Slated for release are Rowdy Roddy Piper, Paul Bearer, Dude Love, Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat, Shawn Michaels and George ‘The Animal’ Steele. Hopefully, this will be the first Steamboat figure without a headband. For HBK, I’ll be happy if it’s a DX In Your House green and black figure or red and black zebra attire from his 1995 run complete with beard.

Dude Love has been a much demanded figure so it’s good to finally cross him off the list. Piper makes sense as a legend HOF choice and he switched up his look enough to warrant another figure.

Paul Bearer is good for those who previously failed to complete the Wal-Mart Build a Figure version. The Animal is really the only weird choice. He doesn’t need multiple figures since Mattel nailed his first one. Especially when guys like Barry Windham, Dustin Rhodes and Stunning Steve Austin would benefit more from new figures.

Then Now Forever has some interesting choices. On the Basic side, Roman Reigns, Shinsuke Nakamura, No Way Jose are the regular roster guys. That doesn’t make a ton of sense as Nakamura and NWJ don’t have older looks. At least Reigns could be in his FCW pre-Shield look. Maybe the most important addition to the TNF Basics is Trish Stratus. With the Elite 41 Lita figure, it’d be great to have a Trish to match up with her back out at retail.

TNF Elites are also weird roster. Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt make up the current guys. Rounding out the lineup are Triple H and X-Pac. For X-Pac, this seems like an ideal way to get his red and black attire in Elite form. I’m probably hoping in vain this is finally the time Mattel delivers on the long awaited Attitude Era circa 2000 Triple H.
