The modular aspect of the stage is a game changer. Shouldve put that on the product info page from the start. The length and depth of the fully armed and operational stage prevented me from backing so far. But if i can mod the dimensions, then i'm in now.

I sold off my new gen sets, after i soured on Mattels skinny parts finally acter 10+ years and zombie sailors retros are so much more fun with so much more personality and character accuracy but i'm surprised mattel didn't toss in nitro ring parts somehow

The tier unlock numbers are too high. Seems like Mattel overshot on this one sadly Like in their minds it's a deal for people because MOTU funded a $550 Eternia playset But the figures seem out of reach, and they are the easiest thing mattel can make.

how does DDP always get a smiling or open mouth expression did steiner wear the chain mail with this attire? if he did thats a big whiff are the hogan shirts gonna be the same as the legends wcw hulk shirt? i was so relieved. i sold off all my new gen set, sail barge, thundertank, mando ship, sentinel, and unicron. I had so much space.....and now this. I wouldve bought two 5 years ago. but dang why is it so stinking freaking big. Not sure why we haven't gotten a neutral/serious face DDP. It's like the most requested thing here. Hopefully, Mattel can give us the Ultimate Edition jeans DDP I believe Scotty didn't wear the chainmail when he wore this singlet. The chainmail was later on when he had the biker trunks. What I want to know is why most of these figures now all have painted biker trunks rather than sculpted. They have sculpted biker trunks in their inventory. It looks so cheap. He has brand new parts for this figure, why not sculpt the lower half? yesss totally agree the painted tights looks horrific

Taker was tanner around 1993 compared to other years for some reason.
Razor with the same shoulder balls and same arms as kid is a disgrace.
The raw entrance letters are awesome.

Quick question, does the WM3 BAF Vince have the height issues his Elite had? I wasn't sure if I should track down those BAF legs too, or if I'd be better off with different ones. Baf Vince uses the shorter legs. I think same size and gene etc

I bought and sold this figure a few times before wondering if an ultimate torso would improve the undersized vibe of it. I like it now even though the legs are still toothpicks. Shoutout to whomever said only slice the seams of the lower torso. I ruined a previous target nwo macho that split was no joke. But just splitting the lower torso…so easy. Thank you!!!

Thank god it’s kane whom I loathe. I don’t need a raw ring either. Because the new gen blue apron and red white and blue ropes were used on raw until like well into 1997. I would still back a raw entrance stage. Rather have the nitro stage though

Just got the last of my machos. I ordered all of them instantly as soon as the order page went up if that helps anyone wondering where their macho is.
Why in the world did they not give him the new larger cowboy hat. So annoying, the tiny old kurt angle sized joke cowboy rly sucks. anyway, everything else is great. And i wish the oh yeah ultimate had this shirt instead of the plastic tassles that hinder machos arm movement

Btw based on the design of the thing, Mattel intended the ring skirts to be changed by unhooking all the ropes and pulling the ring skirts down over the top of the posts. The posts were not designed to be popped in and out easily if at all. And it’s a bummer because it’s 2022 and we’re still using ring post technology from 40 yrs ago.
It’s very cool mdt designed a ring that can break down in parts but why the hell didn’t they go all the way and make ringposts that don’t suck when you plug them in and out

What berealnicknaro said using needle-nose pliers to pinch the bottom clip of the post under the ring, to pull the post out is best. I literally did that just last night, to remove the New Gen ringskirts and replace them with plain blue ringskirts I just got from naparo01. =D mikew, regarding the bases on the back of the entrance stage... yeahhh, that's another story. I put one of the bases in, when I first got it, and realized it was not removable. Come to find out, the instructions clearly say it is a "one-time assembly," much like the crane on the Wrekkin' Rig. Just like the Rig, I had to unscrew the back of the Entrance Stage, just enough to pop a flathead screwdriver on the tab that holds the base to the stage. Got the base off, and threw it back in the box, never to put on the stage again. 'cause those bases attached to the stage doesn't fit cleanly in the box. =\ I also unscrewed all 20 or so screws to open the entangle stage panel up to pop the stand pieces out. It really sucked. But could’ve been worse. I’m never popping those stand up pieces in again And I agree with the heat and needle nose pliers method to remove the ring posts. Other wise you will risk breaking the tabs or massively stressing them

The regular New Gen ones. For Doink, I used the pouting head and the more circular afro hair (but from the Elite Doink, since the green is more accurate). it's funny MDT made the UE doink hair so dark and even darker with the paint wash. weird considering doinks actual more neon green hair wouldve made for a funner brighter more accurate toy

i traveled in europe over the summer and thought what a crime that there is such limited access to so many great figure releases. Anyway i feel for you and wish Mattel would push harder to find outlets for release over there

MDT never shouldve gone back to their generic latino skin tone. it's so thoughtless. eddie always had the hall of champions tone, MDT should stick to that

Legion of doom needs the macho warrior cena Roman treatment. Constant releases
And multiple heads with different expressions and pace paint would be killer
