Gauranteed he has not had 15 offers of 3000 by now already, Its a Silent Auction for a reason. So he can deny any offers that he feels arn't worthy of his "greatness that will silence them all" If he's turning down offers of $350 then he's truly selfish and insane. He thinks because his jakks CSDA exclusives sold for $2000 then he can ask $3000 now ten years later. Everyone send him offers of $10 , see how he feels. The Man is Garbage, This figure is Garbage. I for one was a Huge Warrior fan as a kid. Its funny now that I respect Scott Hall, a drunken mess more than Jim "WARRIOR" Helwig. Unless your willing to offer him $1500-$3000 then dont bother wasting serious offers cause he wont think them worthy of his standards $3,000 sounds fair for a one of a kind to an ultimate collector who is after every single one ever made. However the part that doesn't work for me is the packaging. Defining Moments figures are great but they are such a short set that the thrill of collecting them all isn't as great as the Classic Superstars line from Jakks. His figures would sell better if they were in Elite packaging since the line is far more popular and thus attracts more completist collectors.

What's on the back of his figure? A tattoo?

It's an OK figure I guess. Not the attire you'd think of when you think of Ultimate Warrior.

YOU GONE MAKE WARRIOR MAD! ARGHHHH!
But really, looks good. It's a nice colorway but too simple, I'm surprised he didn't ask for something more complicated.

Warrior is just a professional rip off merchant these days

This is so stupid. The dude has become a total self-obsessed jerk and is trying to rape some gullible fans of money. You have to be insane to buy this figure.

i still need me an Ultimate Warrior... if it's cheap i'll get one. if not, i'd much rather have L4 or better yet, just get some parts and make my own (O.W.N.?) custom.

Say what you want about the man, but he's still making a living and not having to worry about financial problems like Hogan, Flair, and the likes. He was smart enough to know how to get his bases covered financial-wise. thats why he stole 28K from some memorabilia dealer right? I think its hilarious all his figures have the crappy first head. what a waste. I wouldn't pay much attention to that dealer. He himself is a con artist who I have caught twice ramping up bids on his ebay merchandise and then offering me second chance deals minutes later.

It's actually quite hilarious how gullible and jealous people are on here. I would put most IQ's of the hater's at around the 58 mark....
If you had a career 20 years ago, that made you million of dollars then, and still makes you thousands of dollars now, you would bleed it dry too.
Hats off to the Warrior, a shrewd businessman. If he wasn't making thousands off his Jakks figures, I'm sure he wouldn't charge thousands for this one.
Figure is not the best though. I would much rather a 1 of 20 Jakks, or the 1 of 5 USA.

"Shrew businessman"...hmmm...well, I think there are many more fitting words to describe him, but they would get me banned from WFigs. I don't blame people for being fans of the UW character (even though I thought he was painful to watch), but Hellwig's inflated sense of self is annoying. Everything with which he's associated-- appearances, memorabilia, art--has some insane price attached to it. But if people want to keep feeding his criminally large ego, then so be it.

He was smart enough to know how to get his bases covered financial-wise. Wont last long when he completely alienates the few fans he has left. When you threat your fans like he does its only a matter of time before he has to get a real job instead of swindling warrior fanboys of their hard earned money.

warrior has more business sense then anyone from his era. someone mentioned hogan, flair, etc who still have to wrestle in their 60s, which is embarrassing, because they were idiots. warrior had a couple runs of only a few years each and is still making a good living off of it to this day. haters will hate.
