Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

I'm not sure if it's more amusing that this guy is having a kid and this Goldberg figure is such a big crisis for him or the fact that he blames Mattel for putting TRU out of business.

I would assume the next Goldberg that is released will be a flashback, no doubt. Simple reasoning for this would be the first release of Goldberg could still be marketed for those who yearn a current look Goldberg. I should think the next Elite Goldberg would be a reflection of his WCW run. WCW Goldberg is an ideal candidate for the Entrance Greats line as previous releases in this series mostly consisted of 1 accessory (2 if you count the music stand). Some fans and collectors might have their arms folded to see Goldberg, a WCW World Heavyweight Championship and a music stand for such a standard price and to a degree, it's a fair opinion but one that could be EASILY swayed with the Mattel debut of a WCW United States Championship alongside the WCW WHC.

Just keep waiting. A single release of Goldberg will happen.

A Goldberg/Gillberg battle pack would be the best BP ever

I realize it's the only Goldberg figure from Mattel but I'm not sure it's worth what people are paying for it - with or without the ring... not unless they are gonna do some touch up painting to the face. I'm willing to wait and see if Mattel makes more Goldberg figures. Until then, I'm happy with my Jakks head on Mattel body fix-ups.

Patience. There will be more Goldberg figures. There’s only 4 wrestling attires they can do. True - but there are also different scans they could do (screaming, smirking) and various Basic/Battlepack figures too... just look at all the figures guys like Brock and Austin have had. I understand Mattel's logic in putting the first Goldberg figure with an expensive ring - I just wonder how long they're going to leave it before making more... it's especially frustrating when you see guys who came back months after him getting lots of figures (Kurt already has 4 and Matt & Jeff have about 5!).

Foley has been back even longer and all we got were essentially re-releases and a modern GM. They can’t figure out how to release Dude Love. No WCW Jack. No shirt and tie Mankind with brown tights, blue sweats, painted ref stripes. No Commissioner Foley. No Santa Foley (woulda preferred over GM). No WM2000 Foley.

Whoa man. I picked up all the warrior releases and still want more. On the other hand they only released like 2 Sids and 2 Lana’s so yeah sorry about Goldberg but think you are blaming the wrong issue.
They should release a Goldberg by itself but mattels gotta sell those rings.

For 65 it's not really that bad of a deal. I bought it a while ago and could not keep either, so I ended up selling it... I'll be honest I don't think it's worth the money. There's a lot of flaws on the figure like the horrible paintjob on the goatee and eyebrows, the incorrect knee pads and elbow pads, the lack of gloss on his boots and his skin not being tanned. It was a quick buck for Mattel. Hopefully, when we get a flashback that doesn't require a overpriced ring it'll be better.

Almost pulled the trigger on this ring a few times the height of the ring ropes turned me away from it though, plus didn’t wanna support the whole concept of putting an anticipated figure along with an over priced ring.

Just out of interest, what knee and elbow pads would you give him for a more accurate look?

I mean this in the nicest way, but if $60 is a problem causer when you know that you have a baby on the way ... you need to check your priorities.
Again, not being a dick, but if $60 is really that much of a hit to you then there’s no way I’d even be debating the price 👍🏻

SteveHulk I fixed up the figure months ago and uploaded some pics on the fixup thread. I gave him the medium elbowpads, the ones that are slightly larger than triple h's. I also swapped the knee pads with an Austin's and one of the leg sleeves of doom.

I’ve wasted hours upon hours scouring the internet trying to score a Goldberg. I’ve been wanting to pull the trigger on Goldberg and that ring on Amazon at its current price for $65, but just cannot do it. My girlfriend would kill me if she sees me spending $65 on toys on her amazon account when we have our first baby due in less than a month. I was in a similar boat on Black Friday when the ring and Goldberg were $60. But ultimately the next question is, what will I do with this ring with low ropes and all it’s accessories? Could I sell the ring effortlessly for $20? I don’t really want to bother to give myself another chore of getting rid of an outdated ring with low ropes, or meeting someone sketchy on Craigslist or something just to get a measly $20 for that crappy ring. Is Goldberg worth dying for? Can’t I just find Goldberg without the ring for a reasonable price? Maybe not after all. Mattel has created the perfect entrapment to buying that terrible ring. Anyhow, I’m just kind of fed up with Mattel not releasing a Goldberg figure for a reasonable price. Why does Mattel make so many useless Ultimate Warriors, Sids, Lana’s that nobody wants and that ultimately put toys r us out of business, but cannot give us a single release of Goldberg? I keep trying to tell myself the figure isn’t worth it because he has a jet white beard, big head, skinny legs and skinny waist. YOU WANT THIS DON'T YOU?
