i don’t understand the hate for the hogan arms on kane. dude is an absolute unit. He was huge up until like 2002/2003 and then his arms slimmed down after that. His upcoming 2001 figure has the normal jacked arms but he could have used the Hogan arms there. This is all very confusing to me. Kane's torso in 2001 was huge which his figures from that era never captures.

That Undertaker is bad and the photoshopped image on that box looks weird. 😜

I personally want Scott Steiner with the biker shorts or singlet top to go along with Rick Steiner from the Monday Night Wars. I'm holding off on buying Scott Steiner until Mattel do the right thing and release that look. 👍

I have the Jakks CS version MOC but would be happy if Mattel got the rights to make him. Let's hope Buff Bagwell gets made in the near future.

Thinking about who they have under deals these would be way ahead of RVD in the line for me - 2000s Luger Brian Pillman Eric Bischoff DDP in jeans or just an updated DDP Ministry Paul Bearer Scott Steiner Steiner Bros Headbangers Bulldog in jeans WCW Neidhart NWO Hennig Vincent Bischoff is bundled with the ring. Ministry Bearer is E106. Jeans Bulldog is SvS2023. Ministry Bearer had no tie and also dyed his hair black again. The Elite 106 brown hair Bearer is from 1998 btw.

Hardcore Kane I will not buy yet again since it's atrocious and doesn't do justice to Kane's actual size in 2001. He is way too skinny and the waist line girth is too thin and his chest and arms are way to small. The thing is with limited articulation the basic 145 Kane has more size than his elite which is funny. I will only pickup another survivor series 1996 Undertaker but I'm not too sure that the new true FX headscan looks better than the original release.

Both those Ultimates look terrible, especially those headscans on Bret which look atrocious. The torso on Piper looks really weird and also has the giraffe syndrome.

The line was the dead in the water when everyone knew it would only be repaints with no new "first time in the line" talent getting made. Now with Scott Hall being too short, Undertaker dieting, Rey being changed and with big hands again with this line looking bad so far. Not to mention Mattel again painting Triple H's tights over the skin mold is getting irritating. 😔

Wasn't Rey supposed to be unmasked in MNW series 2? Steve just showed Rey in elite form from the nitro stage fund. Another "old school" Rey with oversized hands again. 😔

I don’t think the torso is that bad on Elite 39 which would you prefer for him? What’s the possibility we could get a trueFX sculpt Sycho Sid with pinless double jointed arms black tights in the greatest hits wave high or low? Hopefully it gets released again in the MNW line. I'm not 100% sure but anything that isn't so ripped would look much better.

I would also but the ripped torso and ripped thighs need to go. who has the ripped torso and ripped thighs. I think we need an updated Sycho Sid with double jointed arms to go with Defining Moments Royal Rumble 97 Shawn. Elite 39 Sycho Sid.

Also Mattel need to use another torso since Sycho Sid wasn't that ripped like his elite 39. Tbf I would take a updated double jointed arms Sycho Sid in the black tights maybe in the greatest hits wave. I would also but the ripped torso and ripped thighs need to go.

They could definitely do that if they wanted, but I’m sure they’d just go the Randy Orton Ultimate route. Most definitely. It’ll be late 96-early 97, crazy grin, angry face, and normal expression, vest, winged eagle, couple extra hands. Also Mattel need to use another torso since Sycho Sid wasn't that ripped like his elite 39.

I have no idea why Jazwares has not released more classic superstars style figures with Jeremy at the helm, weird decision.

If it's an exclusive, then they have every right to do so and have done this before, let's not forget. Regarding the arms - the UE Mankind model may have new ones. Although they do look like the common single-jointed Austin-style arms just updated in the render with cuts to make it look double jointed. : Still trying to figure out why this figure comes with Cena hands but no Socko hand. I'm wondering if you could maybe make one of those Rock "Just Bring It" ultimate hands work, seeing as how there's gonna be a sock over him covering the skintone. The render gives Mick Foley more girth then the actual figure that gets released. Mick Foley was big and should get the same body that George Steele got with bigger thighs.

That would be great but knowing Mattel the formula would be ultimate Diesel torso, arms and the ultimate Kane legs. This Kane desperately needs unique molds. Kane was a massive tank back in those days. I still feel like the r3 holds a light of it’s own. I want sculpted flames, mesh on the singlet and legs. He needs a wide torso. I’d like to see some new headscans too. This Kane would be perfect for the removable hair option to have slicked, side and regular hair styles. I'm not sold on the removable hair pieces when Mattel can just create new headscans with different hair styles. I do agree that guys like Kane, Undertaker and Austin do need there own unique molds. 👍

Without Mattel investing in new tooling for Kane's singlet and new wider crotch piece I much prefer them not even try to make 2001 Kane. I’m right there with you. Even maybe sculpting a singlet top over the Lesnar torso could work? That would be great but knowing Mattel the formula would be ultimate Diesel torso, arms and the ultimate Kane legs.
