Hey y'all. After a frustrating month I decided to give in to an impulse and purchase one of my holy grails -- an autographed Ultimate Warrior figure. Think it looks pretty great. Maybe would have chosen a different marker if I had the opportunity, but with Warrior sadly gone beggars can't be choosers! The color actually looks better than I thought next to some of my other autographed figures. (Also if anyone's wondering, it came from a reputable seller with a COA from Ultimate Creations so I'm fully confident it's legit.) Still have a couple key guys to get (which should happen in the next two months), but am thrilled to have Mattels autographed by Warrior, Hogan, Bret, Flair, Mick Foley, HBK, Steamboat and Piper.

Looks awesome! I have several warrior autographs all obtained by him a few years ago and that figure you have looks legit to me!

Looks super cool. I got a chance to meet Warrior in 2012 and I kind of wish I got at least one figure signed now. I'm not a MOC collector so I only had magazines and photos signed at the time.

I know ther was a proto of it but I don't remember if he was alive when it actually Came out. DM1 came out very late in 2010. It was fully out by early 2011; Savage died in May of that year. It's entirely possible he had a few signed, but with how inaccessible he was in his retirement years, I doubt any regular fans got any.

I knew it had to be close to when it was released that he died. Yeah I know he didn't do many signings or anything else really publicly so it's possible maybe Bill had one signed though

I'm going with no, they never shipped prior to his death

I'd have to disagree the blue marker stands out. Especially with the small hit of baby blue on the belt and his boot. Great figure too!!

Funny..... I bought this warrior figure just so I could strip it of the ic title so I could give it back to honky tonk man.

The only famous person I would have ever cared to see would've been macho man. I would have screamed like a young girl at a bieber concert.
And I still wouldn't have wanted his autograph.

That's sweet! Looks good with that blue pen! Congrats. I read somewhere that there are a couple of signed Macho Man DMs, but I may be wrong.

So even so, he died 4-5 months after official mass release. That IS plenty of time for him to have signed some, however I've NEVER seen anyone with one signed. I would be surprised if Bill doesn't have one tho
