Yet they can't make Dusty or Piper because they don't want to cash in on deaths. But warrior never stopped and is constant. Actually I heard e26 was held back and then floods of them released for some reason. I think it went down something like this... "We won't be making any new Warriors for awhile because we don't want to capitalize on the unfortunate death" Shortly thereafter cases of E26 Warrior started popping up everywhere to the disdain of like 98% of the human population

At this rate, a John Cena without a shirt or anything will be a DM. "John Cena DM - RAW 2012 - Includes authentic ring attire." I damn near choked to death trying to drink and read.

At least they have accessories.

If this is bad just wait until we see what Cena looks like. I can't picture a Defining Moments Cena without cloth goods. I guess at this point a cloth t shirt makes Cena a Defining Moment though.

I agree with the others in this thread about this figure not being justified as a DM.
The whole point of the line (and the higher price point) was to capture superstars in a way that the Elite line wouldn't budget for. But of course, the bottom line has taken over (as it always does). It's about the name. If it's big, it gets the DM treatment without actually getting the DM treatment.
I just hope the line doesn't suffer for this.

I fear this is the end of the DM line ... again. The Ultimate Maniacs wasn't a Defining Moment in Warrior's career. This is essentially E26 repainted, and E26 is still clogging shelves.
I'm a Warrior fan. I'll eventually get this. But I think this was a poor choice on Mattel's part. Thanks, Hulk Hogan. You ruined everything.

Bill held out on releasing that figure for well over a year.

Ehhh....I'm going to buy it but I feel Mattel should consider changing the name of this line. This is miles away from being a definitive moment.

And don't we have the right as a consumer to critique a figure, the price point, and everything included with it?
Because heaven forbid we actually are passionate about a hobby that we fund

At least now that the Kmarts near us will be liquidating they'll be forced to give the millions of e26 warriors away.

Bill held out on releasing that figure for well over a year. My statement was hyperbolic, but Hogan's racist remarks cost him. It also cost collectors his NWO Hollywood figure and in turn WWE and Mattel money. I can't fault Mattel. How was it supposed to know about Hogan's remarks? They played the game of strategically releasing his most popular attires at different times. They lost. We can't expect Mattel to release all of a legends attire at once, no matter how badly I wish they had.

More on principle than anything but a DM with only glasses? . That.

Come on guys. ..do we always have to complain? The figure is amazing, you all take"defining moments" too literal. Can't wait to buy 2 of these. As a collector since the LJN days Mattel has made the best wrestling figures of all time. Thanks MattelDesignTeam
