UE Eddie and Rey were definitely surprises, got Rey down for preorder now that he's getting his entrance gear. Missed out on Eddie but I got the Legends fig. Edge is cool despite the MPAA disagreement. Wish we got a 2004-05 Edge at some point like WM 21, something pre Rated R era. Looking at the list though, JBL and MVP are both welcome additions, long overdue. Can't wait for Bischoff to hit. I already know a UE RVD is gonna rule, likely going to be ECW ONS, definitely the one moment worthy of an Ultimate but I'll be shocked if it's something else. Lesnar though will have to blow me away, I thought the first edition Elite from this line was good enough. Wait, is that why Edge’s logos are messed up on literally everything now? From what I gather from this thread yeah, they took issue with it. Curbstomp City's gonna have a mess of orders now to right this wrong, me included

Picked up UE 15 Warrior tonight at Target. Really nice piece in hand, all the paint work and colors just pop!
Also my first time playing with the drop down hips for a UE. They're okay, I can give or take them personally, but more articulation's always a plus

Didn't the Legends 3 Mr. Perfect have one too?

A rookie line would be a neat gimmick for sure. Terra Ryzing, Diamond Studd, Vinnie Vegas/Oz, maybe even more contemporary gimmicks like Leviathan, Becky Lynch's Irish NXT gimmick, Husky Harris, reality star Miz etc. would be fun. You could even throw in pre-Hulkamania Hulk Hogan We already got a few like Ringmaster Austin, Blue Chipper Rocky Maivia, Prototype Cena, WCW AJ Styles, so we got a firm foundation Two questions: we did get a prototype cena already? Which line is it in? Did they already make steampunk becky? I don't Irish gimmick becky but I do remember her with goggles and a trenchcoat and maybe a tophat. We got two Prototype Cenas: One was a TRU exclusive and the other was a 2 in 1 for Legends 10 (Could be Prototype or part of the Firefly Funhouse match) Steampunk Becky was different from her initial gimmick. Hair color was different, she did a jig as part of her entrance, it was kinda corny in comparison to the Steampunk look

What figure was that? Never knew that attire was ever released in any brand Jakks Backlash. Wasn't there a Jakks Deluxe Classics with the RR 97 look? Also chalk me up for wanting a UE of that attire along with WM 12

JBL (E23) - Haven't seen this gimmick in Elite form since then, very much due for an upgrade in every respect (True-FX, double jointed arms, etc)
Mankind (Amazon exclusive) - This figure was more or less flawless when it came out, but like JBL, needs some upgrades modern figs have
Eddie Guerrero (Legends 6) - Honestly his most iconic attire, would be stunning with the modern tech Mattel has up to and including adding the gold to his boots and a proper Undisputed title with VAC plating (Like E55 Taker)
Syxx (Flashback 1) - Nothing more to say, just needs an update and a better scan
Rated R Edge (Assuming RSCs aren't exempt) - As much as I want another variant of Edge from this era (05-08), this one would look nice in an update
Gorilla Monsoon (CE Elite 72) - Not many people got this one, which is a damn shame. I'd love to see this cornerstone of wrestling history remade here or in the Legends line down the pike

If I'm being honest, I think Benoit is the only guy guaranteed to never get a figure, maybe Snuka for a similar circumstance.
Everyone else though I'd imagine is fair game. So many "It'll never happen" figs have come out like Scott Hall, Chyna, Hogan after his brief cancellation, Owen Hart in AEW (Not WWE/Mattel but it's something) at this point short of a PC police scenario or a rights limbo, sky's the limit.

The only one with a logo I can recollect is the E19 HBK one with the scratch logo, the others I have in my collection are blank.
Not sure why they decided to go that route seeing as other belts have the block or scratch logos for classic titles

Luger has some options for an Ultimate, but I feel the USA attire would make the most sense. He could have his Zubaz pants from the Lex Express, the customary alternate hands/heads, possibly the jacket he'd wear at the time?
Sycho Sid's another shoe-in, the Elite warmed because it was a little bare. Throw in some heads and hands, his vest and the WWF title and easy peasy.
Booker's super easy too depending on the era. I think if they went all out on a King Booker with a soft goods cape and such, it'd be a hit

I'll put it this way, I only go all in for three lines: Valaverse, NECA, and Mattel UEs and Legends.
My standards are high and Mattel consistently nails them. Proud to collect this line

Playing catchup, picked up the Raw 30th restock on the Target app and found a good deal on E97 Chainsaw Charlie.
Next on the hit list is UE Razor

My personal favorite is the E94/Legends UE head. Looks the most like him especially with the glasses on.

For DX I thought if there was some kind of RC option in that scale, otherwise a Wrekkin one would work if they ever decided to do one.
For Shotzi, I agree the Bonebreaker BaF tank would almost certainly work if modded some since her tank is smaller

A few ideas up for consideration:
70s Dusty Rhodes (Thinner body with the robe and hat)
Una-Bomber (Glenn Jacobs' Smoky Mountain Wrestling gimmick)
Make a Difference Fatu
Terra Ryzing (Triple H's WCW gimmick, could have the Bluebloods attire as a chase)
AAA Eddie Guerrero (Los Gringos Locos)
Nation of Domination Rock (Blue Chipper as a chase)
Pre-Hulkamania Hogan (Think Shea Stadium against Andre the Giant, American Made as a possible chase?)
AWA Mean Gene
GI Bro

Pretty much gonna get the whole set, not a bad figure in the bunch.
D'Lo and Nation Kama were long time coming, glad to finish The Nation's core members. May get chase Dlo to keep MOC with the others.
Taker's cool, glad to have an Elite version of his '97 look, I do hope they try to make the gloves fingerless. The reuse of Hogan's gloves is brilliant otherwise.
Brother Love is an instant buy, wanted him for years and he's finally here. They knocked it out of the park, contender for best of the year

Only interested in Warrior both for the Rude heads and the figure, never saw him.
Not sure if its been mentioned but the trunks are a new mold, no? Just noticed it
