I try to avoid buying repeats so nothing in this line has been essential to me. I have the Shinsuke and Ronda only because they were on clearance for £8. I was impressed by both. I'd like the Brock, Shawn and Bret but I can happily do without them.

I'd say hit for some and a miss for others. I don't collect current stars but I understand why they are there and have no problem with who they have selected. So far, out of the 4 legends, I think they've done a good job. I really liked the Ultimate Warrior and Bret Hart, both Triple H and HBK are good as well. Hopefully, like others have said, we'll get a Macho, Piper, surfer Sting, Hogan, among others.

I really like the line. I don’t buy them all, but I don’t buy all of any line really.
So far I’ve got HHH, HBK, Bret and Warrior. I also think Ronda is a great figure, I just don’t collect modern.

I own the Ronda and think it's an incredible figure. I think this is where the female figures will shine most.
That said, I hate the way the body looks on the men's figures ASIDE from Lesnar. I think his body type fits this style well, I just wish we got more with his figure.
The only two to actually tempt me to buy have been Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Both gear i'd love to have in figure form, but as qdogg said, the retail prices seemed a bit steep for me to pull the trigger.
Not a fan of the Bret, Warrior, or Nakamura.
I'm CONSIDERING getting Cena though. I like the look of that figure more and more.
Overall, I'd say 50/50. I think we need some other superstars to be released first before I can say I'm not collecting the line anymore.

I love the line. There were some gambles with the current roster that didn’t pay off but it has produced one of the best, if not the best, versions of Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and John Cena.

I don't know how charging $30 for extra articulation that is still below industry standard at $20 and padding boxes with ugly head sculpts is a hit. I also don't know how other toy companies have implemented chest rockers with the torso hinge being fairly well hidden and flush with the body but Mattel was like "let's have several millimeters of overhang, that looks good".

I've loved the figures I bought (Warrior, Ronda, and Bret), but to me the line is another huge miss on the whole. I'm not sure who the target audience is. When they debuted the line, they kept talking up the added articulation as a selling point for figure photography. How many people does that really attract? Almost certainly not enough to sustain a line.
Again they've oddly held the heavy hitters that are tailor made for this line like Sting or Macho back, and who knows if the line will live long enough to see those figures. I don't mind the torsos, but I do wonder what they could have done with these figures in terms of accessories, extra heads, etc if they hadn't invested in so much new tooling. I'm also curious if AEW/Jazwares offering the similar articulation at a lower price point will impact UE sales one way or the other.
There are some really good figures in this line. But as usual with Mattel, there are also figures that nobody was asking for early in the line when it still has a poor foothold at retail. Warrior's duster is some of their finest work. The plastic jackets and removable arms are great. But I feel like yet again Mattel/WWE either doesn't understand their audience, or is willfully ignoring it for "reasons."

Hit for me. Really love the 3 I own. I don't expect to have interest in every release they make.

They could easily make a multiple era piper by just having multiple heads and two shirts.

I think the line is great... figures look amazing. I just wish the choices of Superstars were a bit better. Maybe a Flair, Macho Man, Rude, Piper. I dunno some more colorful and charismatic looks.

I think the Bret is museum quality. Especially once you add the pink decal on the glasses.

Miss. Way too many poor character/attire choices (that could’ve just been elites) and/or poor execution (HBK heads, Lesnar heads, Becky heads). I love the Warrior and Bret personally and own the Bret, Triple H, and HBK figures but had much greater hopes for the line.

The figures are fine to me, it's all about character selection.

Miss for me right now. My local stores have a lot of Rondas clogging and rotting on the shelves

About 50/50 to me, but I voted miss for now. I like the concept, but the character and attire choices are odd to me. They could be much better when they're wanting a premium price for them.
