Ultimate Fiend looks to be a complete downgrade from the elite. From the height to the torso, it just looks bad. I bought UE Hollywood only because it was Hollywood Hogan. When Mattel starts pumping out elites of Hogan, I’ll upgrade to them. I think my biggest issue personally is the torsos have a terrible and unnatural look to them. Especially for bigger guys like Fiend. Mattel has to tweak these torsos to be more smooth flowing. Really appreciate the comparison pics.

Agreed about it bring a downgrade and also about the Ultimate torsos. Unfortunately, it seems the Ultimates have adopted new shoulder joints and the visual looks downright jarring. Really bummed out with these changes.

I noticed from your pics that The Fiend headsculpt without the tongue sticking out has a different hair style then the one I received. Your pics have the scan looking like the E77 scan with just the hair on the other side of the face, my headscan has all of his dreads pulled back behind the mask. I wonder if this is a running change or what. Great pics tho, despite the flawed height I still love it.

I love Hollywood! Jakks weightbelt fits perfectly too! Did you order yours from Ringside? I had heard this wave would also be available at retail, so I am wondering if / when they might hit Target

terp - I think it’s just a factory error. I checked out the box and the pics on RSC, they all look like the E77 head. Unfortunately the new scan (alt head) with the tongue sticking out is not meant for elite/ultimate style figs, it looks like it’s floating when applied on the head peg. Cool scan but it should have been re-tooled to fit. DarthVeach - Yes, we ordered form RSC. UE Series 7 should be available to the masses by way of retail stores, Target and Walmart some time next year in the first or second quarter.

This is upsetting. Was so looking forward to this Ultimate Fiend, but those stumpy legs and height issue really turns me off. I don’t understand how things like that make it through. The guy is 6’3” and the fiend character is meant to be a “monster.” If anything, you’d think he’d be made a little taller instead of shorter.

The figure is supposed to be equal height to Brock Lesnar however he is easily the shortest male in the line. Bret “Hitman” Hart is the shortest at 6’1” however the Fiend appears to be 5’11”. The height is really off.

I have the Hogan and it is a great figure. But I passed on the Fiend. But looking at your pics of him it looks like his arms are longer than his legs. That’s so he can have the whole world in his hands...

Hmmm that pinless style is pretty interesting. I wonder if that is something they are testing out on Fiend to see if it works well. It would make customizing easier, that's for sure. I get my Fiend in today so I'll take a look at how the arms are. Thanks for the pictures!

So everyone has been talking about the terrible scale on the Fiend Ultimate figure. So I did a side by side with the Elite...and its really not that bad. It's literally only half an inch, if that. Here's some pictures. I always HATED the Elite body. His body was too off-putting for me and his boots were not how they actually are with these skinny feet. The Ultimate has that slimmer-ish figure that Bray had when he returned as the Fiend. The Ultimate really nailed the boots where it doesn't look as bad to me. Beyond happy with this figure. I'm pretty sure in terms of the height, if compared to Hogan, all the Fiends would be out of scale since they basically match up scale wise.

Has anyone got there tracking number for pre order 2 ultimate edition 7 ? My Fiend was a part of Pre-Order 2. So not too sure the time frame for other people. I was shocked to get mine so early.
