I see all the negativity on this board sometimes and it does dishearten me.
However, although SDCC has left me wanting more, I still feel like we got a ton of stuff that we wanted. The upcoming lines look great, legends and elite continue to be the anchors I would say of the WWE action figure product. But, ultimates and coliseum collection are also becoming hugely popular lines.
The future looks good. I’m sure the likes of Pretty Deadly, Imperium, Steiner Brothers, Bad Bunny, The Mountie will come down the line. I don’t believe they show everything at SDCC

Happy to have been able to get this. It's a phenomenal piece. I think it's great that everyone who wanted one, had a big window of time to get it in. I agree. Was great to have had the opportunity to get him (which I did). Without all the drama from last year lol

I really, really hope The Steiner Brothers are NOT the next ringside ultimate tag team. I’m having a real hard time in getting The Usos. (I’m in the UK).
This tag team have to be one of the “biggest wants” on most of our lists from that era. I was so happy to finally get The Headshrinkers in the legends line it has to be the stinker brothers next. I don’t have any issues with them being ultimates, BUT please in the main line. Believe it or not, it gives us more options to find and buy at better prices. As big a deal these will be, I hope they will be added into one of the main lines either Elites, ultimates or legends.
That’s my biggest hope anyway

Let’s hope it does continue in this way.
Some really good figures coming from this line, it’s fast becoming my favourite line in the collection. Really looking forward to Pre Ordering Piper and Steel in the coming weeks and then hopefully The Hart Foundation next.
I’m excited for this line

I have finally caught up with all things SDCC. Here are my thoughts:
Now I having seen the panel and preview night info, I can’t help but feel a little like there is something missing. Like there is more to come. For example where is Imperium? Pretty Deadly? Steiner Brothers?
However, that said I am glad to see some of the stuff that was shown. Am super excited we are getting Ultimate Asuka with entrance robe. Glad to see an updated Solo (E) and Roman Reigns (UE) and also happy to see some great FTIL like Grayson Waller, Roxanne, Cora Jade and LA Knight. The Maivia family 3 pack looks brilliant. Also, the legends line continues strong. Love series 21 (hogan related) and series 22 is also looking great with Captain Lou and The Sultan. Coliseum Collection line also looks great and is becoming a favourite of mine. Some good stuff to take away.
The last thing, I am a UK collector so a little bummed out that there is so much more coming as store exclusives. Like the 3 packs, Monday night wars and ultimate legends lines announced, as much as I want them my only choice (like most) is to get on the secondary market at triple the costs. I wish Mattel could work something out here for international markets.
It certainly seems that SDCC 2023 will be known as the year of Hulk Hogan. How many hogan figures are coming?

Ultimate 2 Packs USO’s (please be war games attires) Bron Brekker Elite Imperium Elites (can’t believe we still haven’t had any sign of them) Pretty Deadly Elites Carmelo Hayes (basic or elite) Steiner Brothers (PLEASE in any line)

Piper/Steele looks like it could be the best set yet in this line.
I missed out on Steele and he is still missing in my collection. Sing me up!

As mush as I agree with everything in this tread, I am torn on whether to buy.
I’ve wanted this Mr. Perfect look in like forever. I have the original legends figure (blue) and it’s great we are finally getting an updated Mr. perfect in the heavily requested yellow. However, something about this figure just looks a little “off” to me.

Although I have backed this crowdfund. I was extremely reluctant to do so.
As many people have heard, I’m in the UK and it’s just taken £509 out my bank account to back this project. That’s $629! Yet it’s only $400 on the website in dollars. I don’t understand how that works.
In any event, I do feel like once again some people will be priced out from being able to back this crowdfund. I’ve only managed it as I had some recent birthday money.

So far, I think Mattel have done a brilliant job.
I’ve NEVER spent so much in one hit on action figures before but I’ve backed the Crowdfound, I’ve pre-ordered Gooker/Taker set. I had to get that after all this time. I’m also just waiting for the piper/Steele set to be announced on mattel creations.
Defining moments is a good set and I’m glad it’s back, however I’m only really interested in Mankind.
I’m also really glad I pre-ordered Logan Paul and Cody Rhodes last year. They are awesome looking figures.

This is great news! I'm just so excited to finally see the Steiner Brothers back in the WWE action figure line.
However, with the change in command at the top, let's see if things are different in the future. There is always hope that other talent will be coming.

STEINER BROTHERS ARE COMING! I actually can't believe it. This makes up for the none Jeff Jarrett release. (although he is still a huge want for me). So, now we know Ultimate 2 packs are coming, kicking off with the Usos, surely the Steiner Brothers have to be next?
THANK YOU STEVE, BILL and ROBERT for finally getting these in the line.

I love the look and sound of this line. It is hopefully a chance to get some real legendary names in the Mattel line finally, I wonder if they will stick with the original Coliseum series back in the day or add some new names that were not in the original line.
Really looking forward to seeing how this line progresses and how well it does. Some of my biggest wants from this line would be The Hart Foundation, King Kong Bundy, Harley Race, Adrian Adonis, Iron Sheik, Haku and Demolition (Ax and Smash).

This is EPIC news and I am so happy we finally get another Mankind. Been after him for so long!
If this line does stay true to it's theme "Defining Moments" their are some really special ones I hope for this line. Do we know how many superstars will be in each release?
I would to see something like RVD (one night stand), Shawn Michaels from WM12, Edge from KOTR2001, Ivan Koloff 1971 (ending Bruno's reign) or BATB Hogan. Just to name a few.

Undertaker (19), Hogan (8) and Macho Man (8) Tried to get each from their different generations or character changes through the years.

I'm actually looking forward to this Crown Jewel event. I do not normally look forward to them as nothing really meaningful happens. BUT I feel under a Triple H WWE, things maybe a little different.
I'm looking forward to seeing who the "woman" is that team with the OC Lesnar vs. Lashley will be EPIC McIntyre vs. Kross I am finding interesting. I think Kross wins again. I'm looking to Roman Reigns beating the crap out of Logan Paul.

I can't believe my eyes that I have seen on the secondary market this weekend this set go for over £300! They must have really, really wanted Zeus and Hogan.
