So, I didn’t get to examine the pictures RSC too much unfortunately, since I was at work, but I went back and took a closer look. Aside from me obviously being very excited for the Relentless shirt Kevin Owens Elite (despite being confused about the use of the E91 head instead of the E101 head), there’s a couple of other things shown that definitely caught my eye.
The WrestleMania 4-Pack is pretty neat, mainly for the Austin and Becky. Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner looks incredible. That’s been a huge want of mine for years, and I’m happy to see it didn’t disappoint. Survivor Series HBK, though the attire is pretty infamous (and looks to be black instead of brown…), looks great headscan wise. Ultimate Bianca and Orton are pretty well done, especially given how they’ve been dropping the ball lately with certain Ultimates sadly.
The new Basic articulation is also pretty interesting to me. Wonder if they’ll be able to swap with Elite legs now.

So Seth Rollins Clash at the Castle 2022 won the Ultimate Edition fan takeover vote I think. Blah… I was really hoping for the Day 1 attire, but at least with that attire not being made, my custom of it isn’t irrelevant now, so I guess that’s a plus.

Well let me tell you something, BROTHER! That Hulk STILL Rules 3-pack looks absolutely amazing, dude! You can’t call yourself a true Hulkamaniac if you don’t pick up at least two of that thing, man!
Jokes aside, I’m definitely grabbing two of that set; one to open, and the other to keep MOC.

Like mikew said, not sure which series it started, but many of the recent Basics have heads that you can pop off easily without having to heat up the head. The heads on Basic 137 Theory and Rollins for example were removable without heat, and I was able to put the heads on their Elites and Rollins’ UE without any hassle.

Walmart should offer an orange pants Bray Wyatt as a gift if you buy any other elites, that may finally get him out of the stores. one of mine would have to offer e93 other would have to offer elite candice My local Target may have to start doing that to get the influx of E97 Rondas out

Hogan wore white trunks, red boots, a red and white robe, and a white and red feathered hat in Rocky 3 as Thunderlips.

I’m biased, so I went with Kevin Owens and Asuka.
For Owens, they can include a few different interchangeable shirts (red “Relentless” shirt and the duct tape KO throwback shirt come to mind) and a couple of new headscans.
For Asuka, I’d personally like to see her RAW 10/31/22 attire, since she had unique pinkish face paint that night, and they can include a Women’s Tag Title with her, in addition to hopefully a robe, mask, and maybe a cloth shirt.

amazing, love the customs but no nxt rollins? Thanks! I do have the NXT Rollins hidden somewhere in one of my wrestling figure bins, but I completely forgot to get him out for the image. I knew it seemed like I was forgetting one… 😭 Need a Slammy 2015 custom I plan on making that once I get another spare suited body. Also planning on making a Mania 34 and Elimination Chamber 2022 Rollins someday.

2019 was the last year WWE had both Matt and Jeff Hardy still under contract, so they missed the boat on pumping out more flashback Hardy Boyz from the Team Xtreme era, as well as making more RA era Matts (V1, 2005 camo pants, etc.).

I’m mainly a loose collector, but if I really like how the figure looks in the box, I buy an extra copy and keep it MOC. Keeping all of my figures MOC would take up a lot of room (which I don’t have enough of), plus I like to do figure photography, and I can’t exactly do that if all of them are stuck in the box lol

Great photos, thanks for sharing. Can you definitively confirm that Edge has all his tattoos, specifically the one on his right forearm? I think I see a bit of it in one photo but it’s always just out of sight even in the promo photos from Mattel. Thanks! Thank you! Yes, all of Edge’s tattoos are thankfully there. It was one of the first things I looked for after I got the jacket off. nice will you show us the e99 seth jacket on his ue I’ll definitely do that, and I’ll post it when I do. I’ll also try a custom black fur jacket I got online a few months ago. Maybe in the future, I’ll also post my updated Rollins collection in another thread, since I have gotten a lot more since the last time I made a thread about my Rollins collection. That Seth is a work of art! Does that basic Austin Theory require the heat up method or can it be swapped easily like the Elite heads? I know basics are suppose to also have the swappable function too, but certain basics lack it. I would Like for that Austin Theory figure to have 3 interchangeable heads if that's the case. The new Theory Basic doesn’t require heating up, and can be easily swapped with the Elites, so yes, you can have 3 different heads for the Elite Theory.

Earlier today, I got my order from Ringside in today, and I gotta say, I am very pleased overall! Some really great figures here, some even I liked better than I expected I would! In my order, I got 2 of the Ultimate Edition Seth Rollins, as well as Elite 102 Edge, Gunther, and both versions of Austin Theory.
In addition to what you see here, I also included some headswaps, and a bonus at the end of this post! Hope you enjoy! Without further ado, let's get into it! Austin TheoryTheory is one of those guys that I wasn't the biggest fan of originally, but I definitely began warming up to him in recent months. As for the figure, it's hard to pick a favorite between the standard and chase variant, since I like both for different reasons. I like the Captain America-esque attire of the standard, but something about the black/silver attire on the chase variant is also really nice. Now, the face-scans on this figure has received... mixed reception, to say the least, but honestly? I love them. I love how Mattel is trying with making much more expressive face-scans, and these look absolutely hilarious, which I think was the intention. Theory's old selfie gimmick was meant to be humorous, and I think the faces capture that. That being said, I think it would've been better to give him at least one non goofy face instead of two goofy ones, but I am happy to report that the head from his last Basic does fit the E102 body pretty well, so if you want a more serious Theory, that's an option. Speaking of which, I hope we get an updated Theory head with a full beard in the future. All that said, I think this is a pretty solid figure, and is easily Theory's best to date. GuntherI've really been enjoying Gunther's run on the main roster. He's been booked to perfection in my opinion. It would've been great if the Intercontinental Title was included with this figure, since that title has become synonymous with him in recent times, but it's no big deal. Unfortunately, my Ringside Exclusive Walter is in storage at the moment, so I couldn't get that figure for these photos to do any comparisons. Take my word for it though, this figure is a massive improvement over the RSC Exclusive. Not that the Exclusive was a bad figure, because it wasn't, but the E102 greatly improves upon that figure, and gives a figure that, not only is more up to date and matches with Gunther's improved physique, but the likeness in the face is much better IMO, and the attire pops more compared to the basic attire of the original. This figure feels great in hand and feels great when posing. Definitely recommend grabbing this figure. Hope we get Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci in a future Elite line so we can have Imperium in figure form. EdgeNot gonna lie, I'm not a fan of the short hair look for Edge. I still love the guy, and I always will, but I really do miss when he had long hair (I feel the same way about Asuka tbh. Should've kept the long hair). Personal feelings aside, this figure is still a very good release. The entrance jacket, while it looks cool, was a massive pain to get off, and unfortunately doesn't have any flexible plastic like the E93 Rollins jacket for example. Besides that, the attire looks really cool, and the likeness is great. One of Edge's best face-scans to date in my opinion. I just wish they'd give him a better torso already. The one they use looks too skinny for current Edge, and lacks chest hair. Other than my minor nitpicks, this is a very solid figure, and is worth adding to the collection. Ultimate Edition Seth RollinsRight off the bat, I wanna say that I'm a pretty big Rollins mark, but even putting my biases aside, I honestly think this could be an early contender for figure of the year. It just looks and feels amazing. The new face-scans look fantastic (the yelling one in particular might be my favorite), the attire pops and is one that is still fairly recent, and the entrance jacket/robe is very well done, especially since he only wore it once (at MITB 2022). We were long overdue for updated Rollins heads with his hair down, and long overdue for an Ultimate of him, so it's great that this figure certainly did not disappoint. It is worth noting that this is a few inches taller than his standard/mainline Elites. Not a dealbreaker, but it is worth noting. I had a lot of fun posing this guy around, and he looks great with the US Title and next to the other Rollins figures. Without question, I would recommend buying this figure. Heck, I'd even recommend buying multiple copies like I did! I only have two at the moment, but I do plan on getting two more in the future! Now, here is the main reason I bought two of this guy. It was to give the extra heads to my other Rollins Elites! And I am very happy to report that these UE heads fit perfectly on just about any Rollins Elite body. The E93 head kind of fits the UE body, but it is a tad loose and doesn't fully pop on. Not a big deal, since I won't be displaying the UE with that head, but I just wanted to show it off for those who might've been curious. I really love how the new heads look on my custom Survivor Series 2021 Rollins and my Day 1 Rollins. Bonus! Custom WrestleMania 39 Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens Elites!As a huge mark for Zayn and especially Owens, I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed a few tears when the two won the Undisputed Tag Titles at Mania this year. I knew I wanted to have that moment forever immortalized in figure form, and luckily, it wasn't that hard to do. I already made a custom E91 Zayn with black pants a few months ago (it was originally an "Honorary Uce" Zayn with the Bloodline shirt, but I took the shirt off of the figure once he left The Bloodline), so all I had to do was seal the paint and add the decals to the pants. For Owens, I have a couple of spare E101 figures, so I used acetone to remove the logos on the shirt and shorts on one of them, then added the decals to the shirt and shorts. To really complete them, I gave them both sets of Tag Team Titles, and I will be displaying them in front of the commemorative plaque I got of that moment! Overall, I really am happy with how these turned out. Well, that's all for now. In conclusion, I'm very happy with everything I received. I definitely plan on grabbing the rest of E102, as well as some extra UE Seths! Until then, here's the obligatory group shot of everything I received, plus the custom Owens and Zayn I finished up last week. Peace!

Glad I preordered two because I plan on using those extra heads on my other Rollins Elites. This looks fantastic! Can’t wait to have it in hand. May have to order another two, just so I can have one mint, and maybe paint another to have the blonde hair that he has now.

I like to collect a little bit of everything, but the two I collect the most of are the Ruthless Aggression era and the current era, with Attitude Era not far behind.

I’m getting at least three. One for myself, one for my brother, and one for my mother. We’re all big fans of Bad Bunny’s music, and we all enjoyed his appearances in WWE. Depending on what time of year it releases, it’ll make for a perfect birthday or Christmas gift.
I just hope it’s not a Walmart exclusive. There’s no Walmarts near me, and I don’t wanna have to pay multiple scalper prices.
