They really nailed Ronda. The likeness is remarkable. Take my money. The duster and detail on Warrior looks awesome but that torso... I'm not feeling it. Exactly my thoughts too. |

Really dig the new Ultimate Elites,and finally a new version of action figures to collect over the basics and Elites that we've gotten since Mattel took over nearly a decade ago.My two main questions are how many figures are planned per year and what will be the size of the wave.Are we just get two at a time a 3 to 4 times a year ? My other question is for lunching a brand new wave of figures and at a higher price point why would you go with Rousey & Warrior,no knock on them but I would think you would want to start off the new line with more star power like a pair of something like Cena,Styles,Reigns,Rock,Austin,Taker,Flair...ect actionfigureattack@wefshow 4 in 2019. 8 in 2020. actionfigureattack@wwewomenfigures 2 figs per series |

That Ronda fig looks great, I'm not even a fan but I'll be getting that to check out the quality of the articulation Mattel added. I'm gonna be super duper annoyed if it's as limited as the current elite female chest joints. This is your chance to fix that botch, Mattel. Warrior looks good, but he has "mushroom top" syndrome, like some of the 4-inch Marvel Universe figures. ( i.imgur.com/Zww8POn.jpg ) Bill, we know you know 6-inch Marvel Legends exist. Take a look at some of the female figs Hasbro makes, note the thin rim of the upper bodies and how it helps create an almost seamless connection to the lower body. Look how fat that rim is on Ultimate Warrior. The chicks from the Guardians of the Galaxy line are great examples of seamless connections (Mantis, Nebula, Gamora). The range of motion could use some work on them, which brings me to another example- E.Honda from SOTA Toys. It's a barbell joint, the parts rest almost completely flush with each other (1-2mm gap), thin rim, excellent range of motion because the holes inside are wide to let the rod move farther (think of joysticks on an XBox controller), nice stiffness, etc. ( i.imgur.com/gspSh1V.jpg ) ------- I hope people here understand that I don't chime in with this stuff just to sh*tpost. I've been customizing and playing with figs for years now so I have a good idea of what articulation works and looks "good". (Whether they're cost effective or structurally sound is a different matter lol) |

That torso on Warrior just makes it stick out like a sore thumb. Its like the Storm Hogan...they fit in scale wise but then when you put them together with Mattel's it just really stands out being so different. Ill be honest, I dont expect this line to flourish. Between people not wanting to start another line plus having them so different (remember there's people that wont even buy basics cause they're different) and then the obvious price range...2020 could very well be the first & last year for this.

You guys are crazy, this torso is much better! The 2010 HHH torso is dated as hell, barely looks like a real body. This has all of the definition and looks like his actual torso.
I also find the new torso to be less intrusive to the sculpt, not more. I like Yokozuna for the same reason. I don't like the ab crunch.

About time we get double jointed elbows. I'm crazy psyched for this line.

I love it all except for the torso they are using for Warrior.
Couldn't we just keep the same ones. It doesn't look as good as the regular elite torso.

Change the tosro on Warrior and im in. Although saying that Neca used those torso's on their Rocky figures and they made for some killer poses.

This is more like it. I can't wait to get Ronda, and even though I'm really tired of Warrior figures, it looks great so I'll get it.

I never buy female figures, but that Ronda might be the exception. Looks too damn good.

The Warrior is awesome, not crazy about the attire choice since it was probably one of the worst PPV matches in his career. Hopefully we’ll get a Hollywood Hulk Hogan and I’ll display the two. I don’t understand why the first wcw attire they chose to do would be released in this line when I’ve seen so many ppl ask for the Wrestlemania 12 over the years. I’m getting it regardless since I’ve bought every Warrior figure I could get my hands on since the hasbro line!
MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE from 92-94 at some point would be great!

Am I really the only one who thinks these look way too life-like?
