If it's a DM, I'd hope it'd have two belts, a who's next shirt and possibly something else.
Or if they'd include a WCW logo stand with mountable sparklers or something that'd be sweet as an EG

LOL @ OP tagging Bill like he's actually gonna answer I don't expect an answer. I simply wanted him to at least see it. Fair enough? |

No flashback Goldberg yet - puzzling No hollywood hogan - big blunder No good flashback surfer sting - just stupid Oh I have an idea...let's just make Scotty 2  ing hotty Ya they haven't learned their lesson with the Hogan thing. No Surfer Sting, Razor Ramon, Goldberg. in future lineups. Jeff hardy should be like in every other wave elite wave from 54-60. Kurt Angle should be getting a DM with gold medals and belts and stuff. |

Funny thing is, I think they’re going to be disappointed in the sales of the new ring. Locally my TRU got 2 of them in a couple of weeks ago. The first one sold immediately. The second one has been sitting since. Every time I go I noticed the box is getting ripped more and more. So basically they sold one and the other is being slowly primed to steal the Goldberg figure.
I do want the figure myself, but there is no way I’m dropping $100 for a figure and I ring I don’t want at all.

My tru sold out of the four rings they had. But there's no way I am spending $100+ so I can get a Goldberg figure. And a modern one at that. Although I did think the figure looked 10X better in person than it did in the proto pics.

It just looks far too long (and grey) in all the photos I've seen... |

From what I saw it didn't look bad at all.

I take what Bill said in the SDCC video for face value that being there will not be another 2017 version of Goldberg released outside of the one with the ring.
Even if he was being released in a basic set, as he should have been, we would have seen or heard about it by now. The timeline is moving into early 2017 and WrestleMania 33 season in terms of attires. Goldberg returned in October. The time is quickly passing for a current Goldberg to be made.
With that being said...a classic Goldberg of any kind should have been either made by now or at least announced. A WCW one more so than the 2003 WWE one since that attire is the same as his 2017 attire.
I will NOT buy a $100 ring for a $20 figure that sells for close $80 on the bay.

This decision makes sense. Bill said it himself, they want to sell a lot of these rings. My issue they haven't had the best track record with delay releasing stuff. I can wait on a 2017 Goldberg until next year. I just hope we don't miss out on a WCW Goldberg because that will piss me off. (Although a Storm Goldberg might be okay 😀)

Like other people have said, plenty of people are just going to steal this figure. I wish they went the Flashback route and we got that. But it is what it is. I don't think I would have spent the 100$ for the ring anyway. It's annoying having to buy a ring just for a figure.

It's a perfect Christmas gift idea. They move out units right now to impatient collectors and those who really want the ring/Goldberg right away, and for the holidays they sell out remaining stock for Christmas gifts for the kids. Then in 2018, they can do a WCW Goldberg, a WWE WHC Goldberg, and probably a modern Goldberg w/ the Universal title. Some of those might be Basics, some might be Elites, who knows. All we know for sure is more Goldberg is coming next year, and he has a different body mold than the one we see w/ the ring.

Didn't Bill say (or mean) that the ring will be the only way to get Goldberg this year? I'm sure there will be more Goldberg figures in the future - including another '16/'17 version. |

Those wanting the WCW US belt need to come to terms that it will never happen. Categorize it with Benoit and Owen. We are never getting WCW belts other than the Big Gold Belt with the WWE logo.

That's exactly what he said. The only way to get a Goldberg in 2017 was to buy the ring. He never said that a 2016/2017 Goldberg wouldn't be released in the future although he never said there would be one released. Bill is not going to come on here and say "guys, don't buy the ring since Goldberg will be released 6 months from now.". That would be dumb from a business standpoint so this thread is pretty pointless (sorry to be negative, but people don't understand that Mattel is still a business whose main goal is to increase shareholder revenue) |

I know Goldberg has mellowed out a bit, but I do worry about getting a WCW Elite one in case they have another spat. Lessons hopefully will be learned after Hollywood Hogan. Hope to see one before Easter.

Such a basic looking figure, why would you want it as a DM when it would be cheaper as an Elite flashback? Current Hogan was the most relevant at the time and made the most sense to release. If Hogan didn’t screw up, you all would’ve had your NWO Hogan a long time ago lol If it's going to come with two VAC titles, then it's most likely going to be some sort of exclusive or DM. Not necessarily. Look at Elite 34 Paige and Elite 36 Stardust. If it's WCW Goldberg, they can totally justify putting it in that Elite line. |

No the video said that's the only way to get a "2017 Goldberg." Face value says that's the only way to get a 2017 version of Goldberg not a Goldberg figure in 2017. |

If it's WCW Goldberg, they can totally justify putting it in that Elite line. They can, but this is Mattel we're talking about. They're going to try and milk Goldberg as much as they can. They know by making him a DM first that we'll have no other option but to buy the figure for $25+. Take the DM Jericho as an example, nothing about that figure screams $25 (imo). It doesn't even have the correct kneepads and the colors on his tights are off, but a lot of people are able to overlook that and will buy it because they've been impatiently waiting for a fb Jericho. |
