Steve literally said on that one podcast it's "1 ULTIMATE FROM THE RA ERA" Like I don't think half these people even fit the bill... Macho, gorilla... The list goes on and on đ When did he say RA era? What I recall is that he said that it was a single Ultimate Edition figure and itâs fun and he thinks people are gonna like it.

Looks like Rosey and Jamal are back up for preorder (unless I mistakenly thought they originally sold out in the first place)

These things are planned out well over a year in advance. It will absolutely not be anything Macho Man or Chick Magnet

Mattel/Hasbro Collaboration?? That means they can do that CM Punk/GI Joe inspired gear from Wrestlemania XXVI? Refrigerator Perry in GI Joe type packaging would be a great idea. Way too early for Punk and Perry doesnât seem to be under a deal. If there is something in the Hasbro/Mattel deal that allows for them to use Joe for limited convention exclusive WWE figs then it will likely be Piper.

X-Pac fixup. Arm swap with the legends and headswap with the first elite.

Maybe not this year but i hope we get U.E iron Mike Tyson in black shorts to pose next to ali Joe Frazier would be a cool fig too. He was Mr Tâs corner man at WM2.

That's what I was afraid of. Makes no sense, but thanks Brother! It does make sense when you look at it how Steve explained. It's either the little box, or no moc box at all. Steve said they typically do not package the figure itself inside a bundle. Yeah, Goldberg and Jinder didnât come in elite boxes when they were bundled with the Raw and SD Main Event rings. Dusty didnât come in HOF packaging with the WCW ring. Demon Finn didnât have a NXT Takeover Cardback with the NXT ring. None of the basics bundled with the springy rings ever come on cards. Wouldnât make sense for UE figs to come in a box with the ultimate rings.

Not really. I wasnât a fan of them nearly 40 years ago and donât think they have mass market appeal today.

Hogan figs will continue to be relevant cuz heâs the greatest sports entertainer that ever lived. Plus he has a career that spanned over 30 years with various looks throughout.

I like the Q&A. I never want to see it go away. I forgot to get my Q in on time this year, but I actually like that we can get you guys to prod Mattel for more information. If thereâs any issue with Q&A itâs that there are still people who post nothing but questions like âWill we see this specific wrestler in the line?â knowing full well they wonât give an answer on a specific wrestler if thereâs nothing to show visually. So people waste their opportunity instead of asking something more vague that can be answered like, âWill we see more ECW representation?â âWill we see the late WCW tag titles again?â But at the same time if I ask a long list of questions I have like âAre you allowed to make modern interviewers and commentators?â âWill Mattel ever make scale barricades?â âCan you introduce set pieces to the Wrekkinâ line?â that they can give definitive answers to, itâs unfair if 5 of my questions get asked and none of someone elseâs questions get asked. But then too many people are determined to waste their chance to ask, âCan you make Raven?â Theyâll make him if they can and you know that! It's a fair point and one of the challenges with it. Especially with people who aren't on the boards, questions are almost always 'when will we get so-and-so' and even beyond that, almost every question can be vetoed at any time, even if it's just a normal one that seems like it could work. Technical questions about part choices or skin tones also just can be hit or miss. I wish I had better answers for everyone. I do like the way the âare we gonna getâŠâ questions were handled in the past when you would run off a list of names and Bill and/or Steve would simply say something like âmaybe one or two from those are possibilities.â At least then they could be vague but at the same time give us something to speculate on. Or like last time when the question was anyone from the 70s and we got that tidbit about getting something to go alongside Bruno that ended up being the 4 pack with Gorilla, Ali, Graham, and Harley.

Damn, no wonder we can't find any đ€Ł just kidding, nice score! I know you were just making a joke, but there is some truth to what you said. I bought 2 Andres because he is a 2 in 1 and I wanted to display both looks. By buying that 2nd Andre, that was one less Andre at my Walmart that could have been someoneâs only Andre. It also points out how stupid it was to make Hogan the x2 in that wave. Essentially itâs a 3 in 1 which is why I grabbed all 3. 70s/early 80s with big hair, WM1, and heel with the singlet. Could potentially be a 4 in 1 cuz he did grow his hair back out towards the end of his career in his matches post WWF.

Those Q&As are a massive waste of time. Why do they even field the questions that won't be answered? Why do you all continue to ask the same pointless questions that can't be answered? Etc etc The Q&A I think is for the more casual followers of RSC and wrestling figs and not necessarily the hardcore collectors. I think Tom does a good job trying to find questions thatâll please both audiences. That being said, itâs very hard to please most on these boards.

Thatâs ridiculous we have to worry about upsetting Bill. Itâs the same with any Q&A. You donât wanna upset the person giving you their time and energy. Similar to the post-show press conferences with WWE, etc. Theres way to ask where it doesnât come across as antagonistic. Tom has asked design specific questions in the past like with Hoganâs size and tan.

Cincinnati, persistence, no Were they on a shipper? Pegs where Superstars normally are. Well, 2 of the Andres were. The unpunched one I saw randomly on a palette of items in the middle of the aisle towards electronics.

Their Q&A made it seem they already have new Steiners down the pipe line. I hope itâs faster than later. I hate losing out on figures like Macho Man, Jeff Jarrett and we didn't get certain figures because of contract expiring. I'm still mad about that Elite Itami we missed out on đđ Itami didnât do himself many favors by constantly being injured. You know damn well Bill wanted to make him but with him off TV as long as he was he probably couldnât get the OK to put him in a line.

Walmart website has Shawn michaels, Kevin nash, Scott Hall for a little under $8. Related to this: Walmart.com also has their remnants of Masters of the WWE Universe dirt cheap. Kane, Goldberg, Roddy Piper, Ultimate Warrior, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Stephanie MH, Macho Man. Macho Man is ~$6 with the rest being BELOW $5. I had been eyeing the Steamboat forever!!! And it came up for $6.50 last week. I jumped. And of course it is now less than $5. I have walmart+, so deciding if I want to be petty. I have fantasized about having Steamboat and his dragon as a tag team in my figure fed. The Stephanie has been tempting, too. Goldberg makes for great fodder. Warrior too if you need white trunks and savage if you need white boots.
