This one is a complaint of mine but people seem to get mad when I point it out. Savage had so many colorful attires, yet we keep getting figures painted with only black clothing. I love the ring itself. But I also think it's funny everyone keeps pointing out this line is not RETRO Era wtestlers, it's been aimed at today's stars, but we get the Retro old school blue ring with red,white and blue ropes. Why not today's ring, to go with the figures. I get what you're saying about Macho, and with the Elite line I agree. But for the retro, nah. Hasbro made his most iconic and colorful looks from WWF. Orange trunks, King, Cowboy hat. To re-do any of that, even if it was slightly different, would annoy me. So nWo is cool since we didn't get nWo Hasbros. I'd same the same for Hogan if they end up getting him back. There's like 5 damn Hasbro Hogans, I'd want nWo. Not all of us have or collected the original Hasbro's though... especially MOC. Personally, I'd rather have the most iconic look/attire of a wrestler for their first figure.

Really loathe that Savage. Just the absolute worst attire choice. Should've been a long tights Macho King figure from 1990-1991, since they never did that look in the original series without the Jacket/Hat attached.
Ring looks okay, but kind of cheap. Reminds me more of the WCW OSFTM rings than the original Hasbro version. The removable steps are a cool touch, though.
New Day and Sami both look amazing. Probably my favorite figures in the series so far.

I politely disagree with this I say this because as a kid my most wanted Hasbro figure was a Macho King in long tights, I hated the Macho King figure that Hasbro put out back in the day as they had him in trunks and to me Macho King should have been in long tights, especially during the time the figure came out.

If you're going MOC than yeah, all the Machos are pretty pricey then. I guess to me I don't see it as the first since I see this line as a continuation vs a new one but that's just me and my bias.

Sorry, David... doesn't have the same nostalgic feel as this, for me! I agree with you because I am a huge fan of the Hasbro line. Though, I think they were trying to parody this ad: I also agree - with most people here - that I would have preferred a different Savage. Though I like that we are getting a Macho Man, I would have preferred a Macho King in long tights from his 1990-1991 run - since we didn't get that attire in figure form from Hasbro. Also, I thought I heard that the Undertaker wearing grey gloves and stirrups was going to come with the ring, does anyone know if that is true? I also think it would be great if we got ring announcers (Vince, Jesse, Heenan, Monsoon, Lawler, JR, Mean Gene, the Fink, etc.) and managers (the Brain, Fuji, Slick, Jimmy Hart, Paul Bearer, etc.) in this line since we didn't in the Hasbro line.

Do we know if this ring comes with any exclusive figure(s)? I hope it includes 1 figure they already released. Only because I like my stuff on cards moc. If not I'd be fine with just the accessories and ring.

Do we know if this ring comes with any exclusive figure(s)? Just looked on Mattel's twitter page - twitter.com/WWEMattelRetro (it was posted on 30 Nov 2017) - and it shows an image of a list of upcoming figures and it says WWE Retro Ring S1 - Wm Undertaker. Don't know if it is the Undertaker wearing grey or if the figure will have a different attire but it looks like Undertaker is coming with the Ring. However, the only other Undertaker figure I have seen (other than the Series 1 figure) he is wearing grey gloves and boots. Here is a picture of that Undertaker: Also, on the Mattel twitter page it says we are going to get a Retro Bret Hart figure, does anybody have a picture of this figure?

When the image of the ring first came to light, I thought the two holders on the announcers’ table might be an indication that the ring would come with a new WWE title and a Universal title belt, but no sign of any belt here. I wonder what the two holders are designed for if not included belts? Maybe just to be able to position a future release of the tag title belts?

That is a fan page, not the official Twitter account for Mattel. Also, the list of re-tweeted names is nothing to go by since the UPCs and SKUs are completely made up (see: this). There is still a chance that an Undertaker repaint could be included with the ring, as photographed by RSC several months back, but I'll believe it when I see an official prototype or MIB image of the upcoming ring.

For what it's worth, I think Macho looks ace. The more nWo Retros they release, the better. If this line continues to be successful, no doubt we will see a ton of different Savages in the future.

If we didn’t get wave 2 already I might be a little put off by Macho, but it falls right in line with that wave. I have all 3 Hasbro Machos. So this is admittedly not a big deal to me. I would absolutely love to get the HOF Macho King as a Retro, though.
I think the ad is really cool. Be a lot cooler if he could get me a Diesel and maybe a 97-98 HBK so I could shut up.

Flair and Finn have new actions. Sami has a new mold and action. Finn's a jumper unless i've missed something His move mimics the Jannetty Rockers figure where you pull the arm up and his legs retract and then snap back out. It's a good fit for the Coup de Grâce.
