I'm afraid I don't agree. There is no way either of the Ultimate Maniacs should have been a Defining Moment figure. I fail to see how anybody can deem this tag team as a defining moment in either wrestlers career. It's ridiculous. They should have both been in the elite line, or the next elite 2 pack. The defining moments line means nothing. I missed the memo where Mattel changed the meaning of the words Defining Moment. Using this tag team gimmick as a so called defining moment is in fact an insult. Well you can look at it as a defining moment. This moment DEFINED Ultimate Warrior as a undependable jag-off. He RUINED something that as a 'kid' I was waiting for so badly. Probably only the Mega Powers were a bigger team (even if just in concept). This career angle - not just an 'angle' BUT a CAREER ANGLE - between them, from the macho king interrupting the warrior/slaughter feud by cracking him with the septor, to the retirement match, to his eventual reinstatement, to their summerslam re-match to now forming the most awesome tag team ever...to NOTHING. Thanks warrior for f*cking up that storyline. This was a defining moment alright...maybe not how YOU see it but it can be looked at that way...as obi wan sad "from a certain point of view' lol but to agree with you and know where you coming from, yeah this fig deserves to be in this line as much as The Dragon figure did lol

I'm thinking hat and glasses and the shirt is painted on. As said before the shirt didn't come off and if I recall it was tucked in so I dont have any issues with the shirt not being tucked in like wyatt.

Mattel have become a joke. I look around at some awesome figures on the market today such as the Necca horror/sci fi figures at my local forbidden planet and see many accessories, check out the latest freddie krueger figure with the wooly jumper, that is effort!
Now compare Mattel's figures and tell me they arent going backwards.
Mattel need to either up their game or keep their half assed figures because they are greatly going down in class in my estimation.
I dont want figures with no budgets because they suck.

I hope the use the Elite 39 Sting torso and do a painted on shirt. Then he at least comes with hat and glasses, like Elite 38 Savage did. If budget allows it, I would love a jacket, but I doubt it. I hope they also include the white Ultimate Maniacs knee pad too.

To be fair those are like $30 and Freddy Krueger is one character. Mattel releases 6 every 2 months in the elite line. The DM line is slipping. Ill agree there

NECA Ultimates are the same price as the DM. THink about that folks. NECA loads accessories and extra heads and weapons and details and paints for the same price as the DM figures that lack all that.
NECA regular figures vary in price from 17.99 to 21.99 at TRU.

If Macho doesn't come with a jacket, Mattel will get hammered for using a DM budget on the Warrior instead of using it on a Macho Man with a jacket, hat and glasses

I hate them having these in 2 different style packages when it comes to MOC collectors, and as a loose collector I hate it because I would have two open figures that cost different price points with the only thing to show being a fancy box in my recycling. Bad ideas all around.

It all comes down to bottom line though.

That is also something that is factored into the budgets.
