This is a tough on for me but I think I’d have to go with the Steiner Brothers first. It’s a toss up between them and the Russians but I only really want Nikita. The Rock and Roll Express and Killer Bees would be easy passes for me.

Even though I’d probably buy the Midnight Express, I don’t really have any interest in them. I’d love another version of LOD but I already own them so they’re not really a big deal. I really just want a Dynamite Kid to match my E82 British Bulldog. I guess that really leaves me with a rerelease of Demolition. I sold them off a while ago because I didn’t have them complete.

outterside123, they were ratchet hips but I use booberrysm method to convert them into ball joints. He has the tutorial video posted but not sure what page. I think it’s on one of the first couple pages of this thread. I’m not really sure of who’s thighs I used because I have a bin of random parts. I was just happy they matched and I was able to switch them.

I really hated how they gave Sheiky baby those skinny legs and that extra part of the trunks painted on. I realized the other day I have extra legs in my parts bin so I went ahead and made the switch. I feel like it makes Iron Sheik so much better looking aesthetically. I also went ahead and ordered the big green belt for him from Forbidden Belts because I really don’t think we’re ever getting that belt from Mattel. For anyone thinking of ordering from him, they are incredible all around.

Didn’t really plan on buying Ultimate Austin but went ahead and preordered it today. I think it’s overall a nice figure with its pros and cons. I like the alternative heads and back design on the shirt. Glad it comes with the blue strap since I already have the smoking skull title. Could really use some thicker thighs just like his elites needs, not sure his arms are big enough either.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t his original Austin 3:16 shirt have the smoke coming out of the skull’s eyes on the back design? I wonder if that was a budgeting cut or something else?

No offense, but I’m gonna wait til cyber Monday 6.0 to get your figure at rock bottom pricing. Hopefully damaged packaging too. I’m gonna get the defender case for it though. I wanna be disappointed, but mattel probably wont nail the Carolina blue for the tights so I might pass altogether lol. I can already see the proto showing Carolina blue and the official version being Duke blue. 😬

This is good news for me, they've told me "no, get lost kid" like a dozen times. I bet they've already started on my figure. No offense, but I’m gonna wait til cyber Monday 6.0 to get your figure at rock bottom pricing. Hopefully damaged packaging too. I’m gonna get the defender case for it though.

Elite 24 is my favorite head scan of his while elite 37 is my favorite attire out of all his gigures.

What would be the best head to use for nWo HBK? None seem to work but was thinking maybe the B100 is the closest. Is there a better one I’m not thinking of? Id say just the early ponytail scan (like the one on his WM12, BAF and a few others)...maybe find that hat that came with Batista paint it black and put it on him backwards? Or the hat that came with the Then, Now, Forever Macho Man.

I’ll get Jericho just for the corrected Skin tone. The rest are a pass for me although I’ll probably impulse buy Penta and Hager when it hits stores.

If it were an elite, I can see the spreadsheets calling for Michael Cole size legs.

Glad I didn’t preorder these like I originally wanted to. Heads and look good but those bodies look like those Legends of Professional Wrestling figures but as “elites.”

Will we ever possibly see the Starrcade 93 Steamboat that didn’t win the fan vote??? Yes please but without that awful molded headband.

I’d prefer to get them as elites either as Legends singles or as an online exclusive. I’ll settle for Ultimate Editions if that’s what Mattel decides.
