I have a feeling we may get another UE Becky or Charlotte (before Bayley and Rhea etc.)...
I'd go with someone from the current roster like The Miz or Drew. Then I'd love a first-time UE Legend... Failing that though, give me an UE Hulk Still Rules, purple-gloved Taker or jean-shorts Austin.

Poor xpac xcluded from the dx set. Feels wrong without him. I kind of felt this way too but in my mind X-Pac is always at the center of daydream booking a DX vs. nWo feud.WHO WILL HE CHOOSE?! Maybe we'll get a Retro in the future.. NWO Vs DX "X-Pac on a pole" match... book it! ๐

Maybe write a list as this has helped me. I certainly avoid just going to the store regularly to check as more often than not, I leave with something that while I may be happy in that moment, I did not necessarily need that figure or want it prior to me seeing it. All order & preorders I never feel bad about as its not random. I recently stopped searching through Target endlessly unless I am searching for something specific. So for last week, it was an intentional Target trip to secure the Legends Greatest Hits. I do see 105 is popping up but honestly I am not into that set nor do I truly want anything BUT if I were to go in the store & see them, I'd need up leaving with something. Like I said, a list reminding you of what you actually want is helpful. Collecting is strange......... I actually have a WWE Figures folder on my phone for new/forthcoming figures... so whenever I see a new figure (or figures) I want, I just download the photo or take a screenshot of it and put it in the folder. I also have folders for Star Wars/Sci-fi Figures and Superhero Figures... one day, I might actually get 'round to buying some of them ๐ฅด.

Losing Ric Flair was a big deal and huge blow to the line overall. That Monday Night War line is looking slim without Sting and Ric Flair. ...was it though? I mean, I'd rather have Naitch (and Macho and Edge) in the line than not - but at the end of the day, Mattel gave us loads of great figures of them over the years and covered all their major looks. The line will be fine, lol. I think it's just becoming popular these days to say "OMG... Mattel dropped the ball!" whenever they lose the rights to a big-name... The only time you could *possibly* say this was with Sting - and even then, I don't think they did (they covered all his main looks - not to mention things like Retro and MOTWWEU figures too).

WM9 Rick and Scott for sure.
Then either the UE crowd-fund BPP or UE biker shorts BPP.
Anything after that is gravy...

If they update Hogan's skin tone then those are both good picks for redos imo. I honestly wish they'd update the skin tone and then add the Hollywood Rules shirt from the 3-pack so the Ultimate is Starrcade 97. That's a figure I'd absolutely go out of my way to get signed. Wishful thinking, I know. ๐ 100%

Whyโs everyone so down on rereleases? If you donโt need it, skip it? I think people are down on the choices for re-releases (Stone Cold, Undertaker, Hogan) rather than re-releases in general... As others have pointed out, the UE Demon Balor would be ideal for a re-release - especially with updated/butterfly joints. An updated S5 Cena would be great too.

Smyths likely aren't getting Rumble series (they passed on SummerSlam & Survivor Series). They def aren't getting Legends GH Who knows for 106 &107 - likely some variations. They sometimes get full sets, some times miss one or two talents. ...who'd have thought that pricing the figures at ยฃ27/ยฃ28 and only stocking 3 of the 4 figures (of a BAF series) would backfire?? ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

I don't mind the Angle singlet at all - buuuuuut having the UE Andre and RVD in a molded singlet, then Kurt in a cloth one doesn't sit well with me/my OCD, lol. I'd prefer figures in the same line to have the same sort of look (eg. pick a design - cloth singlet or molded - and STICK with it... ๐ฅด)

...also - are you guys able to make new Ric Flair figures? I'm hoping he still has some sort of figure-deal... ๐

Hey Steve. I'm loving the Ultimate Edition line... ๐
- will there be another Greatest Hits series (Series 3, I believe)?
- will there be 3 brand new figures for Series 21? (...any hints? eg. 2 modern, 1 Legend?)
Thanks.

Not sure why people are upset over Taker. We all knew it wasnโt gonna be a new fig regardless. And simply just donโt buy it if you donโt want it. I think people were hoping for an earlier or harder to find UE: UE3 Balor, UE5 Becky, UE5 Cena, UE6 Charlotte, UE7 Hogan... especially if they could update the torsos on Balor or Cena, as they already have the tooling (like with the recent GH Warrior). And re-releasing the UE7 Hogan with the added tan would have been cool.

Francis put up a hell of a fight tonight, even Knocking down Fury in the 3rd! Fight was pretty good though, even commentary was calling it an upset before that decision. Either way, I think Francis' stock goes way, way up after tonight and is gonna bring eyes to the PFL when he eventually debuts. So, pretty decent night for MMA represenation! Totally agree... Francis (and MMA) has come away a winner, regardless of the scorecards.

Decent fight for the interim title. I wonder if Stipe is just going to retire then? I'd have thought he'd be one half of the interim title fight. Stipe doesn't deserve a title shot at all right now and wouldn't draw any money without Jon Jones. I agree. There are only two options here: either keep the title on Jones and have him fight the interim title holder when he comes back - or strip Jones and have Pavlovich/Aspinall for the proper title. If Jones still wants to fight Stipe when he comes back, it should definitely be the latter option.

Jon Jones tore his pec and his fight against Stipe Miocic next month is canceled. Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall is the interim Heavyweight Championship bout. Decent fight for the interim title. I wonder if Stipe is just going to retire then? I'd have thought he'd be one half of the interim title fight.
