I have an extra, but it came with some flaws. This is what put me off buying it at first, I usually dont hesitate but I noticed some paint flaws to his hairline and then others were saying about some other problems with it.

Yeah, I doubt they're getting any more in. I mean, there's always a possibility. You never know. But it's unlikely.
I feel bad for anyone who missed out or ended up with flawed figs. If you can get a good copy, it's a pretty spectacular figure especially if you add the track pants.

Both mine came with no flaws, I even scored one for 20$ because I had a 10$ off coupon

Honestly I just bit the bullet and bought him off eBay. It was either that or never get one and this was one of my most wanted UE figs released so far because I have an extensive Mattel Rock collection. The longer I waited was the more expensive/rare it was gonna get

I'll be honest it being out of stock so quick might be because at least it happened to me that the first ones that shipped had some QC issues. I had a figure with all 3 scans had black marks all over them, which forced me to buy another one. Not saying it was all of them, but through all forums and groups I'm a part of seemed like there were more ones with QC issues than weren't, which like me might of forced people to buy another one like I did.

I could be wrong -- but I think there's a chance they might get more. If it sold so well -- and Rock is such a huge name -- I could see Amazon putting in a new order. I could also see Mattel making another UE Rock -- but it seems cheaper and would make all parties more money just to make more of the existing figure....

If they make another Rock please do Hollywood heel, that elite 31 is dreadful

Yep, when I seen some from buyers that had uploaded pics, I noticed alot of them had those black marks all over them, thats why I never pulled the trigger on this figure. And I certainly wouldnt keep buying more until i got a perfect one like some people did. I think there are very plausible reason for getting another release of this figure.

I've said it here before, but Amazon or USPS lost mine. First Amazon order ever lost for me in almost 20 years. They couldn't have just lost the Uno playing cards or even Elite AJ figure? Oof.

Well I took the chance, figure whatever the issue would hopefully been fixed and when I got mine they were.

I don't get the Ultimate Edition series hype. The face scans look way too cartoony to me.

I don't get the Ultimate Edition series hype. The face scans look way too cartoony to me. Basically, you’re really only paying for double jointed arms with added accessories if they do come with it. The toe hinge is good, but I don’t think they’re really necessary for wrestling figures. The torso execution done on these figures could’ve been done a lot better similar to Jazzware’s AEW line, Storm Collectibles, SH Figuarts, Mezco’s, and some of NECA’s products. Everything else articulation wise is just an elite.

Everything else articulation wise is just an elite. I just look at it as the premium attire tax. I've been able to swap the extra heads for Rock and Bret onto older figures as upgrades. And some of the accessories - like Warrior's duster or Charlotte's robe were nice and may not have been possible in a main line Elite. If it's the only way to get a WCW Warrior, or Bret's paint splatter attire, then I'll decide if it's worth worth the price or not. But the articulation adds zero value or incentive for me. And like you mentioned, there are a lot of companies doing that style of torso much better than Mattel has.

I'm pleased I pre-ordered mine - and that it a. came in a box (not a padded envelope), b. all the heads were great, and c. he didn't come with the "I'm Your Papi" t-shirt (that some had!). The figure Gods were with me, I think...
