. But it makes no sence why we see all these warriors and not nearly as many HBKs and Brets and other superstaars who were just as popular as that buffoon. +1 |

Tthe guy would roid rage while reading off of cue cards in the back. And even then he likley needed several takes to get it right. He got over due to the power of Mcmahon and being in the right place at the right time. I'm not saying he wasn't a major superstar back then and he wasn't over, because he was to an extreme level. I'm saying that today his legacy is a joke and he wouldn't sell out an arena. And that his charisma (or lack thereof) is certianly not what got him over.

Whether you like it or not, his figure sells. The only one that didn't fly off the shelves was defining moments, and most of the other figures in that series went even slower.
Would I like more of the younger guys? Sure. But that doesn't mean we need to have fewer legends, or specifically Warrior figures. Plus, I don't think 4 figures is really all that many.

ya theres 4 Warriors but how Many Cenas, Ortons or Reys? They will make more Warriors regardless of your opinion on the guy so this is really pointless

I wouldn't mind seeing more Warriors, His figures have turned out very well. Everyone wants flashbacks of the same stars Warrior, HBK, Undertaker, Foley. I'd buy all of them but I'd also like to have my gimmick stars Tatanka, Adam Bomb, Skinner, Road Dogg, IRS, Doink, Demolition Crush, Brooklyn Brawler.
With what MDT said they have guys signed both ways thru their deals and WWE Legends deals give us the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, Boogeyman, Magnum TA, Earthquake, Tugboat/Typhoon, Powers of Pain, Haku most of them are in the alumni section

His figures look cool and kids love that. I remember buying the CS3 Ultimate Warrior when I was younger and not knowing who he was, but he was one of my favorite figures.

4 figures is indeed too many for a guy who hasn't been with the company in almost 2 decades.

So you go from saying he never spoke or cut promos, to actually remembering his promos and how he delivered them. Which one is it? Soma coma? |

Warrior has had 4 figures (3 elites and 1 basic)...Ryder has had 2 with confirmed more on the way, Jericho has had 6, Santino has had at least 2-3...Wade has like 3 still clogging shelves.....Yea Im pretty sure its perfectly fine for us to have more Warriors.

Looks to me like there's more to this than mere action figures...
But anyway, this got me thinking...
Mattel should make a super-Elite Warrior with one extra point of articulation just to f*ck with you Hellwig bashers. I'd buy at least five of those.
Oh, how about a Warrior themed basics series? Six jobbers with Warrior facepaint and attires. I'd buy seven cases!

Are you that shocked that every single collector isn't a Warrior fan oro something? Because I don't get these blind accusations that I'm another member. Maybe I'm just fed up that after 12 years of collecting figures I've never seen anything as bad as what we've gotten in the past year or so.

Are you shocked that not everyone here hates Warrior figures as much as you seem to? And why Warrior? He's got 4 figures. I don't see how that is preventing anything. He has 2 legends figure. None of the guys you listed would be in that. He has a defining moments. None of the guys you listed qualified at the time of that line other than Jericho and he probably would have gotten one had the line kept going. He has a Wrestlemania Heritage figure. Again only Jericho would qualify for that and they probably had that line planned before Jericho ever came back. I really don't see the huge beef you have with Warrior figures. |

I hate the ultimate warrior with a passion but I love his figures cause they are always so colorful!!! Something that lacks with a lot of other wrestling figures.
