Just picked this up at NoHo Target in California. The new attire paint apps and head sculpt look awesome. Anyone notice they changed the belt from the prototype? The prototype had a yellow strap for the winged eagle title. They gave this one a white strap. My question is this, did anyone ever use the yellow strap winged eagle belt?

The white belt was shown at SDCC. The proto images came after showing yellow and I believe Bill quickly clarified the wrong belt was used and confirmed it will be the white one. The yellow belt was never used on TV. There are images of it so it was made but never used. Not sure why.

Didn't Ultimate Warrior use a purple belt as well Fighter Hayabusa? So that's another option they can use for a future Warrior variant.

Love that purple belt. Hope it gets released in the near future. And would love to see the I.c. Blue belt get a release as well.

Would have been great if they released that with the Walmart Flashback Warrior. Yeah a little weird. He did use the white strap belt for a January 7, 1991 title defense against Slaughter in Huntsville, Alabama. You can find that match on Ultimate Warrior's 2014 blu-ray release. It was originally a Coliseum video match. But since we are getting all these figures, they might as well make one with a lavender/purple strap at one point, ya know?

I don’t think the HOC3 attire was something people were dying for but it definitely is one of the better warriors Mattel has made. Like the basic green tights 1990 warrior it’s a promo pic attire used a lot in marketing. I appreciate Mattel giving us a new headscan & tackling those airbrush era (91-92) attires.
That said I’m still wanting a 96, 98 (wcw) & c’mon 1989! Elite warriors.

Hope we get a WM12 and IYH vs Goldust attires one day. Which 1989 attire are you hoping for? I wouldn't mind his Survivor Series 1989 attire to go with the Hasbro figure in the same attire.

I was thinking summerslam 89 but survivor series would be cool too. I know 1989 was a more simpler look for warrior but I didn’t love how the SS88 came out. (Needed a crazier face) and 1989 was a huge year for warrior in his popularity & march to the title.

Plus we got the winged eagle WWF title with the white strap, which is nice. But as a huge Warrior fan, I want all those attires you just listed as well, especially WCW debut with his jacket. I also want a WWE 1996 attire version of Ultimate Warrior as well. And yeah Survivor Series 1989 attire would be nice.

Absolutely! I want WM12 in blue and that purple King of the Ring '96 attire w/ duster the most. Also, here's a nice big pic of the source material for HoC:

Considering they've already made quite a few Ultimate Warrior figures, this one is different enough to get me to want to buy it. Great new head sculpt, great paint apps, the white strap belt and the unique new attire. Love it.

Also a quick heads up on this that I haven’t seen mentioned.
When you find it, calm your excitement and checkout the facescan on it. Mine has eyes that are off as it seems they’re using the true FX technology over an existing sculpt. You can’t really notice it from a distance but it shows like a mofo when you look up close.
