im kind of sick of Ultimate Warrior figures tbh. look, im a fan of the guy. he was a huge part of my childhood. he also had some amazing attires. i get it. but i feel like mattel just goes to him for everything, like he's already had SO MANY really cool figures, i just dont have a need to buy another one. and i dont understand why retailers are gonna want this when the DM line failed miserably at this price point, entrance greats are doing the same, and its just another expensive ultimate warrior figure I kind of agree with this... I'm a big fan of Warrior too - but there have already been a shed-load of cool Warrior figures (...we've had 2 Elites this year alone!). It's getting close to overkill. I'd have preferred a new premium line to start off with something/someone a bit "different"... outside of the hardcore collectors/Warrior collectors, I can see a lot of people passing on this - especially at $30. (...I hope I'm wrong, as I'd really like the line to succeed...) |

HBK better be in series 2. I SWEAR TO GOD BILL!!!!💪 If we could go ahead and not do that, I'd be happy with that. We dont need a new HBK every 2 months when there are so many HOFers that still aren't made. K thanks. That's gonna be a no from me dog. |

I hope going forward the line includes Macho, Hitman and Hogan. |

Hope they scrap the ABA Taker and start from scratch, because that thing is horrible.

Warrior and American badass Undertaker for me. I'm hoping Mattel release Viscera down the line.. I wonder if they would do a new torso mold if they did a Big Daddy V Well I'm only interested in Viscera but for big daddy V fans would be good to get a new mold. |

I think I’ll reserve judgement until we see a painted proto of ABA but it really doesn’t look good so far.

Mabel looks awesome and I can’t wait to get it. These ultimate edition figures though, I’m not so sure about. At that price point I don’t think I feel like starting another line.

Didnt think we’d get a WCW return Warrior since that was one of his personal exclusives in the Jakks line. Halloween Havoc match was not memorable at all, but Warrior’s gear was sweet. Mattel did an awesome job on the figure, especially the duster. Hopefully, they’ll release more Warrior’s with dusters if this line is successful. I don’t care for the new torso crunch, but I’ll get over it as I get more of this line.

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! I agree that WM12 would have been sweet, that is one of my favorite attires of his, but I think its a close toss up between people wanting a 96 Warrior or a WCW Warrior. Hopefully we will get a 96 Warrior in this line eventually. Also, definitely need a Savage in this line, some of his attires were very detailed that it may need the extra cost to help pay for the designs. Though, I hope we get RR91 Macho King before any of his 92-94 attires. But that's just me. I kind of agree with this... I'm a big fan of Warrior too - but there have already been a shed-load of cool Warrior figures (...we've had 2 Elites this year alone!). It's getting close to overkill. I'd have preferred a new premium line to start off with something/someone a bit "different"... outside of the hardcore collectors/Warrior collectors, I can see a lot of people passing on this - especially at $30.

I hope going forward the line includes Macho, Hitman and Hogan. I'm with you about Warrior, I'll pretty much buy any Warrior figure since he had so many great attires over the years. Same goes for Guys like Sting and Macho Man/King. I think this line definitely favors guys who wore more colorful/intricately designed attires. Going forward I also hope we get a Macho (preferably RR91), a Hitman (either Survivor Series 95 or the splatter print attire he wore in the summer of 94), and a Hogan (a Hollywood Hogan would be great to go with the Warrior figure). |

So the only difference between this line and the current elite line is custom molds, right?
This line would have really popped if elites didn't have interchangeable heads and hands (which I personally believe wasn't necessarily needed).
Figures look good though. I will always be cautious over the success of a line of $25+ figures.
Entrance Greats, Defining Moments, Epic Moments, Entrance Greats (again)...all aren't/weren't massive successes.

Im pretty surprised Warrior is one of the first in this Ultimate line but very excited we finally get a wcw warrior.
Easy buy for me. $30 is worth it for me but I do see, like the DM/EG lines before, that the price being too much for figures that are too niche for mass retail.
Im not sure what to think of this upper toro change.

Those figures reminds me of those 6inch Jurassic World/ Park figures Mattel revealed at SDCC. All articulation matches those figures. Really liking the direction of this line and both the figures too.

Definitely gonna pick up Rhonda. Would like to see pics wearing the entrance gear. Pass on Warrior, digging the attire but not the torso. Maybe it will grow on me. Time will tell.
