I live in PA and ordered 3 rings. On Aug 22, all 3 had (labels created). One of them shipped today and should be here tomorrow by end of day. The other 2 are still under the βlabels createdβ. Slowly but surely we are getting them, just be patient I live in PA too. In fact, I'm only about an hour and a half away from where it's shipping from. Despite this, all I have is a label created since the 22nd. I'm trying to be patient, but man, it sucks refreshing the tracking every few hours and getting nothing

Sorry if it's been answered already, but can someone confirm that the Doink wigs are all interchangeable?
Thank you!

Has anyone tried the Jakks Blue Cage on this ring yet? I really wanna know this too... Also, I really gotta stock up on the old school security barricades. As much as I love my RSC black barricades, I gotta get the ones from the appropriate era or it'll bug me. I also got those blue mats in preparation, and they are awesome. Anyways...BRING ON DOINK! Been checking my tracking hourly to see if it has updated lol

FINALLY got shipping info from them in the FedEx app. Where they're shipping from is less than 2 hours away from my house. No delivery date listed yet, but it shouldn't be long now!!

Do we know if the turnbuckle pads are removable? I loved that feature on the older Real Scale rings. Was always fun to reenact that classic heel move of exposing the turnbuckle when the ref has his back turned...
Kinda seems like these are fixed in place. Not the end of the world if they aren't removable though

I still don't know which head I'm going to display for Doink. The original Elite one is solid, but have seen it enough over the years on my shelf so it will be between the other two. The one with the surprised expression is great. However, think the miserable/grumpy scan is my favorite. That one is unmistakably Matt Borne. 1,000,000%. Agreed, that grumpy face is pure heel Borne Doink! I'd also like to see how the wigs look swapped around. I remember asking Steve if they'd be removable, much like the Elite 34 one was and he confirmed they were.

Man, I seriously can't wait any more. I disassembled my old arena set up in anticipation of this arriving. I got some blue floor mats off Amazon, so I am ready to drop this ring and entrance down!
I keep looking at all the released pics of Doink almost daily. The hype is freaking real brother!

Well I appreciate the post because this was all news to me, so thank you OP.
Cannot wait to get my NHB set, and hopefully the arena before months end

I'm sure if an influencer gets the arena early, we'll all be made WELL aware of it, especially if it's Cardona lol

Hey Steve,
First, incredible presence at SDCC. SO much product to look forward to!
Second, is there a possibility that all of the upcoming Hogan's, like WM 18 & Mr. America can utilize a bigger torso?
I feel like most of the community here would agree that the "Sheamus" torso is far too small for Hogan, especially at that stage in his career. I think the Hogan DM torso, "Kane" torso, or even the Iron Sheik torso would be a more accurate representation.
Thanks Steve!!

Definitely want a new Hardcore Kane using the UE Diesel torso. An UE Mankind with interchangeable tops for his debut attire and then the white shirt and tie look (and he could also be top less Foley π) And honestly I want them to make another Hollywood Hogan with the new Hogan torso since it has way better articulation. I wish WM 18 was in UE form. And give him all new head sculpts Purple or gray Undertaker...I'd love either version. A redo of the UE series 4 Lesnar with the new torso for better articulation. Throw in the track pants and maybe a new head or two to change it up enough from the original release I know it wouldnβt be a re-do but I wish Mr America was an ultimate. I hate that Sheamus torso Agreed!!! Why they keep using that torso for Hogan when he was later in his career is beyond me. It was barely acceptable for the HOF WM 9 Hogan, but for elite 91, WM 18, and Mr. America they should be using either the Hogan Defining Moments torso, Kane torso, or even the Iron Sheik torso.

I'd honestly love if they did something like a Buried Alive match playset or backstage area, but I feel like it'll be something a little less niche, like the RAW entrance or some kind of cage/cell that's modular where it could fit the New Gen ring or one of the older elite scaled rings. That way it wouldn't necessarily rely on needing the previous campaign in order to work

Mine actually did ship, and it also says it will be here on wednesday!
Can't freaking wait. Ideally, if the New Gen arena ships out, that means we'll be getting 4 UE's within a month!

this makes complete sense if you ignore ever other example of crowd funded items on the secondary market and the OG UEs that were mass produced going for over 100 now a days. UE4 HBK probably had 5x more made than the Doink and Diesel and was selling for $350 at one point before the rerelease.Β UE Triple H, Bret, Warrior and Balor were all clearance figures at one point and now sell for $100-$200. Being in the game far too long? Have you been in the game for the past 2 years and seen these UE prices?! Don't forget the Amazon Rock...that goes for some bucks and has for a long time. Doink, Diesel and Macho will all go for some major bucks, no question about it

Did this set really sell out in 10 minutes? I saw that some where else, but I wasn't sure how accurate it was.
By some miracle, I actually did get one. But if it was only up for 10 minutes then that really freaking sucks and isn't fair.

I got my order in, thank God. I was fortunate enough to be at work on my lunch break so it was pretty simple.
I did start to get a little nervous when I was put into that 'waiting line' screen, but thankfully it only took a few minutes overall.
Did the set really sell out in 10 minutes??

And yes, I also agree with the person that said we need an Ultimate Edition Sid.
I don't hate the head sculpt the original Psycho Sid came with, but I know they can do waaaay better than that now, and it's long overdue

My God, this entire thing is so glorious.
And I'm SUPER impressed by all of the UE figures. Diesel looks spot-on, now that he's got the True FX. Macho and all of his accessories look amazing.
And Doink...my lord, he is perfection!! Love how they added the extra paint deco to all of the wigs!
I'm opening all of my figures, but I'm definitely keeping the boxes too.
That shipping e-mail can't hit my inbox fast enough!!!

To be honest I backed it because the ring had a plank base. Doink was my number one reason, but something about those wooden planks was really enticing. I guess because no other toy ring has ever gotten that realistic before.
