I hope it is flashback heavy. I can see them doing like Jeff Hardy with multiple face paint heads or something which I would have zero interest in but I can see that being a high on the list. I'm sure it would do well.
Side question, Wasn't Asuka penciled in for EG or DM line at one point but was canceled?

I’d definitely drop $35 on a Macho with jacket, shirt, bandana or cowboy hat, glasses and an outfit with a lot of deco hits. Throw in alternate hands and an alternate head and it’d be perfect. I'd love to see this. In particular I'd like to see Wrestlemania 8 (and I know they've already done this) or some of his more colorful mid 90's attires.

I hope it’s super high end, I don’t really care what price point it is. I hope we get OWN Warrior / Hollywood Hogan / Bret Hart / Macho. Maybe we can finally get 1996 Warrior for this, in particular King of the Ring 96.

I know people want mostly flashbacks but if they do current people maybe we can get Wrestlemania 33 Alexa Bliss. I really liked that attire. If not then just a regular elite, but I don't think they'd get the jacket right with that.

From what I’ve gathered from the live Q&A, was that it will include the music box (hence the discontinue of the entrance greats line) and that it will also include more accessories than the axxess exclusive Asuka. So it pretty much will be ultimate! Lol Also I think it would only be appropriate that Ultimate Warrior be the first release in that line, just sayin’ Would be a great way for them to finally get us a 1996 Ultimate Warrior. The increased price may help Mattel with the detail on the tights and duster (the dusters had some real amazing detail which could be expensive). Not sure what else could be added other than different types of hands (regular semi-open hands, closed fist punch hands, and gorilla press hands) and different heads with different expressions. But definitely need some 1996 Warriors and an OWN one as well (always liked the Fall Brawl one best). I’d definitely drop $35 on a Macho with jacket, shirt, bandana or cowboy hat, glasses and an outfit with a lot of deco hits. Throw in alternate hands and an alternate head and it’d be perfect. Me too.

Me too. Can’t recall if any of his 1996 matches ever lasted long enough for his face paint to wear off but maybe they could come with an extra head without paint or some paint worn off. Maybe he could also come with his Warrior symbol firework backdrop and put it on a clear stand for him to pose in front of. *and soft goods for tassels and boot covers.

If not then just a regular elite, but I don't think they'd get the jacket right with that. I think this is A hard sell for current guys at 35$. If there are 4 Bliss figures out per say, why would you wanna spend 35$ on one? Especially from a parent/child view

Especially from a parent/child view I'd like to say these are going to be a hard sell at $35 for almost any wrestler past or present, but people are blowing 30 bucks on the Gamestop figures because of a fancy cardboard box, so what do I know? Well, no, I do know that if the price point is north of $30, there are very few wrestlers I'd shell that much money out for.

There are few id spend that much on too, but, if you think these are going to be priced that low, i feel your a way off, its all guesstimates at this time but, 40-50 would be a price i think would reflect an ultimate edition figure, entrance greats were almost 30 and they sucked

These will rot at $50 for a single 6 inch figure, regardless of the subject.

A lot of it will depend where its stocked, who it is, what it includes, etc etc, if its a really low limited edition itll sell

So hopefully they learn from DM & EG that spending money on music stands and fancy boxes is a waste. I don’t need 24k gold packaging. Just make the boxes exactly like the current elite boxes, but a little wider and taller to fit in more accessories, and use gold and silver coloring instead of white and red Listen to this man Bill! I hope the Ultimate Edition is one of those things where every figure released gets amazing accessories. I'm glad Entrance greats is done with. Getting plain Goldberg and Angle was a huge let down for their price point..... Then I saw the Finn Balor that was released....(loads gun, aims towards the box) Boom Boom Boom lol

If it's over $50, it would have to be sold through an online retailer. Brick and mortar has been burned by DM and EG sitting. Hell, most places aren't carrying the current iteration of EG just because of that. DM didn't sell, and EG are MORE expensive than those were. These just will not survive a price point that high. Wrestling figures don't equate with high-end. People want affordable.

This "Ultimate" idea looks very similar to Neca's Ultimate line.
I hope they don't make cloth clothing/accessories exclusive to this line only and drop them from regular elite releases.

Talked to Bill at the Mattel while at Comic Con and he said they should have something to show for the Ultimate Editions at Survivor Series. I tried to get more info on it, but he said he couldn't say yet.

Rushmore" wrestlers for the line. So Austin, Rock, Cena, Hogan etc. No New Days or Rusevs.

People arent gonna spend good money just cause the box looks cool. I would rather a complete and detailed flashback figure than gimmick stuff packed in
