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.

Let’s get Ultimates of 1997 Badd Blood Hell In A Cell Undertaker with Shawn Michaels. Then a 2001 Ultimate Hardcore Kane 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.

Hopefully TKO can change the stance that was under Mcmahon and allow Mattel to sign talent independently. Another positive is that Vince isn't the owner and apart of WWE now which might help get those bitter/banned former superstars to sign. That’s Mattel stance. They used to sign the Legends talent in the beginning. But I think the Mattel higher ups decided why should they spend that money on contracts when the WWE can do it for them. I know if I was Mattel that’s what I would do. I mean if I’m Mattel and I already spent all this money getting the wwe license I don’t want to spend more for wrestlers contracts when the wwe can do that for me. Well if that's Mattels stance, forget about getting certain legends in the line. 😔

I have the RSC Jakks set of this match MOC and that's enough for me. The set looks good but again Razor is too skinny. 😔

Is it me but does every Mick Foley elite look way to skinny? Mick Foley was thick especially from the waist down to the thighs while these figures make him look like his dieting. In my personal opinion Jakks captured Mick Foley way better than Mattel. The hips/thighs are better than previous versions (that I had at least) in my opinion. My biggest gripe is how muscular his arms look. He’s shredded. Jakks originally gave all Mick Foley figures big biceps but when the toyfair exclusive Cactus Jack was released Jakks made new bicepless arms which captured his look even better. 👍

In the late 90's I used to see some toy shops and large retailers like Kmart stocking the WWF BCA/TTL lines. I remember Kmart's used to get plenty of WCW figures compared to WWF ones. I think Mattel's probably been the worst for availability in Australia in my collecting time. Moved over from the UK in 91 and there was some hasbros, but not many. Never saw a bend em, used to drool over them in magazines. Jakks I only saw one set of slammers and then the BCA with the mania 14 or 15 background. When I saw them my mind was blown. LOD, Owen Hart in black and yellow, Kane, Undertaker, Mankind, Rock, Austin etc. For a couple of years I saw loads, probably up until TTL first set or two. After that it was very sporadic again. I stopped then as I was in later high school. But few years later toys r us starting getting classics. That tempted me, but not briefly. Mattel finally gets me back in and they release bugger all over here. Infuriating. It's annoying when especially the store exclusives don't get sighted in Australia. I guess it's the retailer's not wanting to stock WWE figures or the retailer's can't get any WWE figures from Mattel.

Australia just s@cks for collecting. Since Mattel took over collecting has been more painful with alot of lines not showing up in Australia and each store having random figures. When Jakks made WWE figures it was more easier to find and alot of stores carried the line, even Coles, Woolworths, Kmart and Myer had the random RA line with Myer/Kmart getting plenty of the Classic superstars line. Collecting of wrestling figures in Australia is terrible. The stores have decided to stop selling WWE figures has stopped many figures coming to Australia. Also with many figures being exclusive to stores in the United States. Figures that are exclusive to Target in the United States doesn't mean that Target will get them here in Australia. Figures that are exclusive to Walmart in the United States doesn't mean that Big W will get them here in Australia. Transformer figures that are exclusive to Walmart in the United States are exclusive to JB HiFi in Australia. Figures coming into Australia have gone back to how it was like in the late 1990's, when no one stocked them. With the internet you hear about figures coming out in the United States, but we don't see them here. In the late 90's I used to see some toy shops and large retailers like Kmart stocking the WWF BCA/TTL lines. I remember Kmart's used to get plenty of WCW figures compared to WWF ones. I think Mattel's probably been the worst for availability in Australia in my collecting time.

These are some of the greatest superstars in the history of the business which deserve their own molds and now doubt Austin needs his own unique body mold and bigger thighs. Also Undertaker and Kane need to also have unique body molds since the elites are too skinny.
