OK so you guys did a great job helping me out with the Macho Man thread, I was hoping to get some help on Warrior as well.
Now I know he was gone before they started the WWF New Generation gimmick, but I still want to pick up one of his Elites, and was wondering which Mattel elite represents him from the last part of his run in 92.
Other than Mega Maniacs matching figures, if I get those they will be stand alones from my New Gen display.
Thanks in advance. Looking forward to your responses!

The hof wrestlemania 8 mentioned by punksnotdead is underrated. I’ve personally always loved the Summerslam 92 look if so go with elite 26. The attire is well done and I like the headscan better then wm 8 one but the wristbands and boots detail don’t measure up to the singlet. Really that’s your only two picks if excluding maniacs. |

Ultimate Maniacs DM is the closest in terms of time period to being in the new gen as Bret Hart was WWF Champion while he wore it.

I’m not a fan of Warriors 92 run at all, as it was pretty disappointing to me as an 11-12 year old me who was expecting him to return and go back to what he was as champ. As we know that never happened.
But with that being said, the 92 Warrior from the 2 pack with Shango is an awesome figure. I think it’s one of the best Warriors Mattel has made to date.

I'm really hoping we get a '96 New Gen Warrior soon. If you're willing to stretch it to the end of his 92 run, I think the SS figure is the best option. The singlet is such a different look than his earlier run in trunks.

My personal favorite is the Ultimate Maniacs figure but you’d need to pair it with Macho. Otherwise SS92 is probably the best representation from that time. WM8 is a great figure but when I think 1992 Warrior, I think singlet and not trunks.

I think if you want a 1992 Ultimate Warrior, I think the Summerslam 1992 singlet version is the best way you can go. The one with Papa Shango, the head sculpt is just nah. The paint on the eyes just looks awful. I could never buy the set because of that.

I like the one w/Papa Shango but wheeljack is right, the eyes and head sculpt aren't that great. The singlet Warrior is pretty cool and does fit w/the collection goals....Knowing myself I'll probably end up with both LOL

Wish they would re-release the WM 8 Warrior as a single elite!

Also we definitely need a WM 12 Elite of him with the jacket.

I have all 3 1992 Warriors...
What you want is WM8 from the 2 pack or SS92 from E26. I own them both & I think they are GREAT figures. Ultimate Maniacs is a month specific figure really....LOL
Id like a Macho Man from Summerslam 1992 too actually.

I wish they'd included the duster with that SS92 Warrior If they'd swapped the Ultimate Maniacs and SS92 Warrior around, and made the SS92 Warrior the DM it coulda happened too. |
