To me he is one of the biggest signings for Mattel. Right up there with Warrior, Sting, Macho, etc. And they are going all out just like they should. Epic Moments, Entrance Greats, Elite Flashback. Perhaps even a WM elite next year. I really hope the FB is at Ringside Fest. I'd like to see that sweet hoodie he used to wear around 2003 in figure form. Then after that you have his early AE run winning all the belts in rapid succession then WHC in 2006. So much good stuff to look forward to.

I personally am really excited to get a Kurt. It's been a pretty good year for Mattel getting the green light on new guys. Angle, the Hardyz, Goldberg, I'm sure there's more I hope they do Angle from late on in his WWE run with the black shoes and gumshield, he looked hard AF around then

I’m super excited for all the Kurt’s we can get also, I’m from Pittsburgh and one time during a firework show many years ago he jumped a fence in front of me and used my shoulder lol although I am alittle disappointed with the lack of Stings? He was a huge sign also and I think they dropped the ball with him, and also with Ric Flair , there are many they could do and they would sell like hot cakes or at least an accessory pack of different colored robes for the figure.. Also so may Macho mans and Warriors they could do Kurt is rightbip there also I look forward to the future of these figures I super stoked with what we have so far they just continue to get better and better . ThanksMDT and Bill you guys rock keepem coming

I think the excitement won't really hit until they start shipping or hit retail.

Here's what I want after the EG:
DM: Eurocontinental Champion with both belts, molded red singlet with flag, gold medals Elite: Bald with removable wig and headgear, molded red Superman A singlet, gold medals
I'd be happy with those three. I wouldn't mind a cloth singlet down the road to display with straps down. I'll probably pass on Milk-A-Mania until its on sale/clearance somewhere at or around $20.

Excitement is there, but I'm more excited about what his second (and third, and fourth) figs might look like.

I was excited for Kurt but the figures I want of his won’t be made yet (WM17, WM19, WM20 & WM22 singlets)

For me it was cool to see Kurt get signed. I've been downsizing my collection and have been disappointed with a lot of the product lately. I guess that's where the lack of interest comes from. Now onto the Kurt figure itself, I really like the attire but will not get it. I'm just not a fan of the body mold they chose. It's really too ripped, the legs are just painted on which looks extremely cheap and the head looks like a modern Kurt with retooled hair. I'm hoping Mattel did this to get the figure out as soon as possible, but for future releases it would be nice to see a unique mold for Kurt or just better part choices. The Bret torso would of been a better candidate for his debut. There have been some really nice customs I've seen here that have looked better than the entrance great.

I couldn’t be more excited to finally have Kurt in the line. I’m just not too thrilled about his first figure. I really can not wait to get a bald wrestling machine Kurt. Maybe in that black attire he wore. That’s my favorite Kurt personally.

Kurts great but to say it's like Sting or Macho is blasphemy

My excitement reached its peak with the introduction of Ken Shamrock. To me, every other figure is supplemental.

The lack of excitement is probably due to the fact that he'll be ruined by having a torso cast in his singlet color with painted flesh tone.

I'm super excited for Kurt Angle, but I also think MDT have dropped the ball on many guys like Sting, Flair, Eddie Guerrero, Hogan, Bret Hart, etc. The amount of Savages/Warriors far out-weigh the rest. But it's not all their fault, WWE is marketing the Warrior brand like crazy.
This is the one time I wish for more repaints like Jakks used to do. There's no reason why we can't get multiple Flairs and Stings...in ELITE form!!!

I seriously doubt that he'll get the Ultimate Warrior treatment. At best, he'll get the entrance great covering the attitude era, a defining moments of him bald and a couple of basics one including his current GM look. That's not me saying I want that many because I'll take all of the Kurtis' that Mattel will be willing to produce don't you worry about that sunshine!

It's just hard to get as excited as I used to about Mattel figures these days with some of the part choices.

I won't be excited until there's a bald wrestling machine Kurt with wrestling shoes. It's only the look he's had for the majority of his career.
