Very disappointed with the MNW Hall. Steve said the denim would have a nice wash on it like the British Bulldog. But that blue denim looks horrible. Also the extra heads seem like one of the old ones that didn’t have his likeness. I think they just took an old one with a pony tail on it to give us something different but they should used the new scans for that. MNW Nash looks like the hat may not come off? Was hoping I could use that head on the other NWO Nash figs. Nash has about 5 different heads. It's better than having a bulky hat or the head suffering from hat hair. Yea, I’m happy it’s something new. Was just hoping I could use

Steve,
What happened with greatest hits HBK? The lower knee is always painted black but for some reason this one is red like the rest of the tights. Compared to all of the other Shawn’s from this era, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I said the same thing in my comment. The basic mr perfect had the same thing. No idea why. It is a terrible figure. Wrong color singlet, weird rubber material no one likes, needs the hulk tan and normal black kneepads. Since Mr. Perfect alternated between the leg sleeves (picture above) and smaller knee pads (pictures below) during his wrestling career, I think most people would be fine with Mattel just using the smaller knee pads for all his figures. It just looks better. I've been saying this for years, Mattel really needs to invest in a better, larger knee pad and get rid of the one they use. They put those on all the trunks Macho Man figures too, and it just looks bad. Couldn’t agree more on both Mr Perfect and Savage. It’s small changes like these that I wish Mattel could make that would really knock these figures out of the park. It’s the small things that they keep dropping the ball on that just comes across as careless. It’s the small details, Bill!

How do you not make a chase NWO Curt Hennig like they did Lex Luger. What a missed opportunity.

Man I’m gutted. I’m disappointed I won’t get it. I’m disappointed for Steve and team who worked really hard to get this through.
I’ve seen people say hopefully the raw stage is backed but if y’all been listening the raw stage will be more expensive because the tooling won’t already exist since the nitro stage isn’t backed. So thinking that through, I highly doubt a raw stage can happen now. If most thought $400 for nitro was too expansive what will they say when raw stage is $500+?

so in your tiny mind which UE torso would you use for a 2004 jacked Eddie ? i’m convinced the majority of you are either too old or too young to remember how jacked he was in 04. Rude's might have worked. It might be slightly smaller than how Eddie looked at the time, but it would stand out like the one they have on figure. Then you’d all be complaining about how small his figure is.

Nope. The figure is trash. When it comes out I’ll buy you one.

I wish they had a QA person. Part of design. Bill is swamped with every figure that I’m sure he misses things but if there was a person responsible for QAing designs before they’re final, it would help a lot. Yep, this is exactly what they need. I work with graphic design, when you've been working on something for hours, you always miss something. You've been staring at the same thing for a long time, you are going to miss something (sometimes minor, sometimes major). You always need another set of eyes (or two) to look at the product before you finalize it. They usually catch something you missed. It's the same thing when you are writing a paper, you always need someone else to look it over to make sure you didn't make any mistakes (spellings, punctuations, unfinished thoughts, etc.) It’s shocking that this isn’t in place but it’s pretty clear that Bill is the end all be all in terms of design. Man must be swamped with everything he’s working on.

Really don’t know how they missed the wrist tape on micks hands I wish they had a QA person. Part of design. Bill is swamped with every figure that I’m sure he misses things but if there was a person responsible for QAing designs before they’re final, it would help a lot.

I've been wanting that HBK for years. I would bet a million bucks it doesn't have need pads. The Mankind is also disappointing for me. The lack of wrist tape is a big deal and idk how it got missed. You can't even switch the arms out with another figure to fix it because of the pinless arms. Yep no knee pads! It pisses me off they forget details like that and the wrist tape on mankind. Whoever has the final approval needs to be fired. I don’t think it’s that they forget. I think it’s a budget thing. I’ve never seen an HBk with knee pads that have deco on them other than Ultimate Editions. The other HBK that have knee pads are just plain black or white knee pads.

Steve,
Any chance for an update or re-do on the first couple of Ultimates so they can have the butterfly joints and updated torso? Specifically looking at Montreal Screwjob Shawn Michaels.

What’s with the painted torso? Is this a thing for Ultimates? Top part is clearly painted it doesn’t match skin tone on arms.
