This is classic mattel. They ruined the defining moments line with choices like nakamura and surfer sting ( none of which had a wwe moment at all by this point) stupid. Now they are ruining the ultimate line by releasing one of the best ultimates as an amazon exclusive. You cant get rock in the uk for less than £120.00!! And its relitively new!
For me,i really liked this line, but once again the guys at mattel find a way of totally trashing a highly collectable set. I see no point in collecting a set of 29.99 figures that are already being listed as exclusives.
Yeah - we in the uk want this set, but £50 for charlottle flair? £120 for the rock? £50 for cena? Oh - and £60 for nwo hogan???
And just to add icing on the cake they are now offering these.....terrible choices fir another hhh?
They know fine well that peoole want mankind, the undertaker, kane, stone cold, a WWE warrior,but they know that peoole are going to buy this set, so they hold back the stuff you want and force feed you this trash. And when you dont buy it they cancel yet another line.
Can you believe we STILL dont have an accurate wm14 era undertaker?!?!?! He will be signed with aew by the time mattel pull their fingers out!
Soneone seriously needs to be brought into mattel as a matter of urgency. Someone who knows the product,the wrestlers and more important - the customer. This is what hapoens when you get your job because of who you know.

I agree with a lot of your post - but there was nothing wrong with releasing that Surfer Sting as a DM figure, IMO... it was the first Mattel Surfer Sting, a defining moment in his career - and an iconic attire (it was actually my most wanted Surfer Sting!). True, the final figure could have done with a better sculpt/likeness and the WHC belt - but I think it was an ideal candidate for a DM figure. Now, carry on...

This is what hapoens when you get your job because of who you know. you do realize that the fan takeover ultimates are a SUB-LINE correct? the terrible attire choices aren’t holding back first releases of anybody(taker, mankind, kane, etc), they’re just supplemental additions to the line

The DX one for sure. The left one is basically the same as his last ultimate, and the one on the right is basically his last elite.

Are we going to have to go through this EVERY time there's an Amazon poll? The Fan Takeover Ultimates are (outside of Jeff Hardy, who seems to have been a splashy name to launch with) a SUB-LINE of repaints of previously released Ultimate figures in (comparatively) obscure attires. There aren't going to be First Time in the Ultimate Line figures of Undertaker and Kane or whoever on these polls.

That Nakamura he brings up sold very well as well since it was his first figure.

I chose KOTR 2000. If there had been an option for any other pre-DX 2006 look for Triple H, I would've voted for that. Present-day Triple H in a suit would've been good for parts.

These choices are so bad, but hey if it’ll get us a head with the Harley Race/Lemmy facial hair, I guess the terrible DX run one will work. “Terrible”.......sure pal!

I mean if you liked sober HBK and Hunter making pg jokes while basically just telling their opponents “lol ur gay”, more power to you. I personally wasn’t a fan.

As if “Sober Shawn” was a bad thing lol. They carried Raw for most of the late 2000’s. DX in 06 was still over and obviously over enough to be a choice in the upcoming Fan Takeover set!.

Sober Shawn was a better wrestler, but had lost his edge in the cool department. He wasn’t the same and neither was DX. I’m very happy he cleaned up his life but to me personally DX wasn’t nearly as fun as it was before. Like I said, if you enjoyed it, cool. To me it was terrible. Literally has nothing to do with how over they were.

Cena carried Raw then, not DX. DX was equally as important. You couldn’t fill 2 hours of Raw with just Cena/Edge segments all night.
