I wouldn't mind a Tyson pack.
Mike Tyson from his 1997 bout against Holyfield, and his DX geddup from WM 14.

About BoUE Hogan, will the butterfly joints be improved from the last issue like how wave 1 Warrior got them?
If so I'm getting one or a few. Thanks in advance!

The Macho Man issue is the biggest overall loss to the line this year. We got a lot of them sure, including 3 UEs, but we still had so many looks to explore and upgrades to previous attires (Coliseum Collection would've been a shoe-in)
Legends are not leaving the main line in any regard, we got Terry Gordy and Bruno both slated for later Elite waves and we just had Bearer in 106.
Steiner Bros are most certainly on the way I'm sure of it. It's just typical of toy companies to release a lesser known era first before getting the most wanted so people can say they have that character in the collection and double/triple dip when the time comes

It's good, certainly one of Mattel's best lines to date, but I wouldn't say it's far and away the best overall.
Ultimates in general are for sure up there as one of the best with AEW's Supremes as well

Outsiders may just be a day 1 preorder for me. They look perfect, especially those Scott Hall heads.

So far:
Summerslam wave is the strongest PPV wave in some time. Need X-Pac, Kane, and Luger, will pass on Taker.
The Foley 3 pack looks fantastic, I may need two sets, the MOC pics look amazing.
I missed the Logan Paul UE but this Elite looks just fine for what it is

More ECW and WCW would be my picks easily. Looks like with the MNW line we'll be getting more WCW at least (Never thought Filthy animals Rey would even be considered)
Build a sets would be ideal too, particularly classic interview sets (Funeral Parlor, King's Court, Brother Love Sho, Piper's Pit) and certain entrance stages that could benefit from the BaS concept (ECW entrance could work for one)
Adding to it, something akin to the Coliseum Collection but focused on the Hasbro and early Jakks BCA lines in UE form. I did a mockup of a BCA style package for the UE 11 Taker when it was unveiled

Lot of stuff to unpack here:
That Yoko UE is a must, I assume that's coming after Warrior next Spring
MNW is still shaping up to be my favorite line with the caveat of being Walmart exclusive. Filthy Animals Rey was a look I was sure we'd NEVER see, same with Fake Diesel, but they're both in the line.
BaF Teddy is out of left field too, which I can only assume a Smackdown GM version would be in the works to pair with RA Bischoff?
Legends is baffling in some ways with the amount of Hogans we have with Pre-Hulkamania and now Ichiban Hogan. Love that we're getting The Sultan and Capt. Lou, which means I can retire my custom.
The plus for that new Basic articulation is easier customizing, so I'll definitely be getting that Championship Showdown pack with HBK and Bulldog to convert to Elites.
the WM series is a total wash, not picking any of the figures up sadly except maybe Pat. Nicholas as the BaF killed me, never thought we'd get him.
A new Bearer Elite was long overdue, I may need both versions. Same with Terry Gordy to build up my Freebirds and New Gen cheesy gimmick shelves.
Three Faces of Foley is a day one purchase. Same with that UE Mankind, being a Foley mark I'm basically compelled to get them.
I called it with the CC Hart Foundation, I knew they were in the cards, but a little bit of a hard act to follow after the masterpiece of Piper and Animal.
I'm probably missing a lot but like I said, a ton to unpack and digest lol

So if anyone buys the four pack set and doesn’t need old man Austin, hit me up. I’ll buy it from you. We should just find someone who only want Maivia. There was a guy who only wanted Hogan. Split the cost 4 ways, BOOM! I only want Hogan and Rocky, if someone else needs Austin and Becky and doesn't want the other two, HMU

So far:
The Amazon WM X two pack is nice, I'd get that one MOC as the HBK from Flashback 2 is fine by me and I could find a loose Razor to turn into a UE.
The Hogan 3 pack was a surprise and despite many Hulksters we've gotten in the past few years, I'll get it still. Love how 84 and 02 Hogan both have two shirts for display.
Legends 21 is alright too, definitely need Sheik and WCW Jimmy Hart should pair well with the series 18 Hogan. Pre-Hulkamania Hogan I might see about making into a Thunderlips, and Andre's funny in the sense I actually made a custom WMII Giant.
Summerslam 91 Warrior's okay, I know people's been clamoring for this gear and it looks sick, but probably my least favorite reveal so far. Going up against the other UE Legends like Rock and Hart, I guess it doesn't wow me as much.
Not a bad start to what I hope will be a great SDCC. Bring on the surprises!

I'm going with the production issue angle here.
ZST is capitalizing on the buzz and given the big name drops in the IG post, this was a deal that was in the works for a while, not just "Mattel canned their WM 7 Savage, better slap together a Hasbro throwback"
Considering Savage has had other figures beyond Mattel like the Micro Brawlers, it's likely not a rights issue, maybe Mattel flying to close to the sun with their UE, looking at just how much stuff that figure was going to come with

I found Eddie yesterday after a friend in Target told me they had one left at a Walmart 5 minutes from there.
I know people are hating on it (Must be a day that ends in Y) but I dig it. Just need to find Rey next

Has anyone put the new ultimate razor head on the Legends 11 Scott Hall? I put it on the E51 head which I also replaced the arms with the Raw 30th Razor arms. It's a good fit if you don't pop the head on all the way. I'll snag a pic when I can

This may be my favorite Bret figure if only because I can get a proper sharpshooter from it.
A must have, blows the first UE away (And it's a fine piece)

I have three UEs with this feature (Warrior, Razor, Legends Bret) and I have no problems with any of them.
Not sure of the utility they have but I don't hate them

Having another UE Bret in his '97 Hart Foundation look is something I've asked for since the line started. The DM is a masterpiece, I'm eagerly awaiting how they can top it like they did the Eddie from his Legends look.
Piper's unexpected, considering he's on the docket for the next Coliseum Collection, but I can't say no to one.
I'm all in on this sub-line, lots of meat on the bone which hasn't been done or waiting to be redone.

I just picked up another Legends 15 X-Pac from a deep discount store for $6 which I mostly picked up for parts.
Gonna convert the body to a heel 1-2-3 Kid and use the head for a Syxx upgrade
EDIT: Also placed an order for UE Razor from Ringside the other night on backorder, I got a shipping notice last night. Stoked to finally have this one

I hope the UE Bret has a soft-goods/removable jacket (like the DM ones), rather than the plastic/swappable arms ones the recent UEs have had... it probably won't though. Considering that Hart had a normal leather jacket during this time and not one all decked out like the other two UEs, I think it'll be soft goods like both DMs

Piper and Animal are day 1 buys. I had the LJN Piper as a kid and this is a perfect representation of that look.
Steele is a surprise for sure, but looks like an upgrade of the old Legends piece. Happy to have him in the line but I'm shocked we didn't get someone more associated with Hot Rod like Ace Bob Orton or Orndorf.

Hot damn we got a new Angle. Great attire choice too, they threw in the crying sculpt too from that match! Lashley's alright, Bianca's well overdue for a UE. Not upset about the rubber singlet top, if that's indeed what's being made. Didn't hate it on Taker, probably won't on Perfect What match is the attire from? I wanna say No Mercy 2000 was the crying face, but this attire I think is the 2001 Rumble?
