PJ how’s that Hogan treating you my man? It’s on my radar, but I’m still unsure about parting with my UE nWo Hogan. I’m getting the updated one for sure. I wonder what the UE Hogan would look like with the accessories from this Hogan.  |

PJ thank you as always. That Hogan looks incredible. The updated one with the tan and those accessories will look amazing. I for one need more WCW nWo Hogans.

New pickups look great! I grabbed the Hogan 3-pack on Saturday morning, but I haven't opened it yet... the one I bought is pretty mint and I'm waiting to see if my mail ordered one arrives in good condition before I open the mint one....
From your pics, the HSR Hulk looks very dark.... almost too dark....
Should Hollywood Hogan have included a weight belt? Or was Hollywood not wearing one at that time? I can't remember (and too lazy to look it up)..... I have a spare from an Ultimate that I used for spare parts & was thinking I could add it if I needed to....
Really mixed on the mid-80's blue Hogan. I know he chewed the headband like that at times but the first thing I keep thinking is "what's up with the tongue"...... if it really bothers me once I open it I might do a head-swap..... what are your thoughts on the "mouth-bandana?"
These are all minor concerns. I still think it's an amazing set! Thanks for sharing your pics as always!

I guess they wanted variety, but does anyone actually have a picture of Hogan in 2002 wearing a yellow shirt like those? I’ve only seen red, and at least there’s two, because I’ve only seen blue trunks and red shirt as well…

Flair Forever I believe he should have the weight belt, boas, chain and the design on his bandana is unfinished. I hope we could get an ultimate of this attire with the right tight colors and design. This one is good though.

He must have only worn it a few times.....   |

This one is good though. I just watched Starrcade ‘97 the day I picked the set up and he didn’t have the weight belt, boa’s or chain when he came out, but he should have had the world title belt. |

Bill loves his promo photos for reference…it’s why so many figures are missing wrist tape, because the wrestlers don’t always wear it in the promo shoots…If it’s not Japanese wrestling then he doesnt care as much. |

I like that they used the yellow shirt, it's a "deep cut" and I'm down with it.... Although I wish the "2nd shirt" for this one had been a 2002 red one.... or is the red shirt that came with the Blue Hogan close enough?  |

Flair Forever Close enough. These have the 80s rips, and 02 said “still runnin wild,” but if display it forward should be fine. Also had black trim on the font.

I think they used the yellow as a deep cut for the box set to keep the red Hulk Still Rules bullet in the barrel for a potential solo Ultimate or Elite down the line. |

21 is really an awesome Legends set -- one of the truly best. Sheikh and Jimmy Hart are fantastic, and Hogan looks pretty cool. Andre is iffy, but he's so popular, it's probably fine

Does nobody else think that the shirt on the nwo Hogan looks really cheap, almost like you brought someone’s homemade version

I apologize of this is discussed further up in the thread, but how do you safely remove the sent on shirts in the 3 pack? The arms don't pop off like Ultimates and I don't want to stretch out and ruin the shirts

The arms don't pop off like Ultimates and I don't want to stretch out and ruin the shirts I popped the heads off and went over the shoulders but that will definitely stretch them over time. Ask AlexWestCollects he did it differently in his video. |
