I’ll let PJ make the response to the suggestion of butterfly joints because he’s very vocal against them What exactly are butterfly joints?
(also called shoulder sleeves, lateral shoulder pivot, etc)
The female figure's shoulders tilt/flip up, while the Spiderman's shoulders can tilt back and forth.

Despite the odd torso on Warrior I will get both from the series. I look forward to what comes in the future. The price point doesnt bother me due to all the extras we get.

Don’t understand why people are complaining about the price... it’s nearly the same as entrance greats and dm which had less to offer in reality. I’m okay with paying $30-31 for these online. The only bad thing about this warrior is the torso. It could of looked better had they done it right. I think the way storm collectibles does it is fine, but mattel’s looks like jakk’s finishing moves line. I hated how those figures looked...

I’m all over this series... I will buy every single one. I understand why the torso is getting some hate, but doesn’t bother me... the price point is fine, it’s targeted at adult collectors and in line with other figures line from NECA and Storm etc.
I just hope we get the big players that this line would really suit (Hogan, Warrior - confirmed, Macho, Hitman - rumored, Sting etc.) before Williams love affair with NXT/all things Japan kills it...

Where is this supposed love affair with all things Japan when he's made zero Japanese legends?

Where is this supposed love affair with all things Japan when he's made zero Japanese legends? has definitely influenced the decision (assuming it’s true) for Shinsuke’s inclusion in series 2... and not to mention the whole Asuka WM exclusive that never was and now is etc.. don’t mean it as negative in general, does seem to influence (at times) the product... just my perception...

The butterfly joints look great here, you can see more at the 1 minute mark, even the ab crunch looks really good and a million times better than on the Mattel Ultimate figures. This figure makes Ultimate look like a baby's toy. Don't know if all figures from them look this good, but they absolutely nailed this one. Even the face is so detailed and spot on, crazy. If this video does one thing to me, then it's killing my desire for Ultimate (male) figures completely.

Be warned: this Tyson is not in scale even with his Storm Collectibles cousin Hollywood Hogan. When put side by side, if Hollywood Hogan is supposed to be 6'7" then Mike Tyson looks 6'9" or 6'10". The real Mike Tyson is about 5'10. Check this vid: at about 8:24 for a comparison. In the Mattel WWE universe, this Mike Tyson figure is about the size of Sid Justice.

I actually prefer the Ultimate Edition torso design. Cosmetic wise it can look a bit clunky but the playability and poses you can get from this design will be amazing. I have no issues with it personally and wish I can convert all my current elites into this design.

I'm interested but won't be buying the first series. Let me know when they have ones of Alexa, Becky, Styles and/or Sting.

Oh, and can I ask why someone said that the cancelled Wrestlemania Axxess Asuka would be a good indicator of what to expect with the Ultimate Edition line? I don't see the similarities.

lol! The best part of the Storm Collectibles Tyson figure video was the leg popping off and then having it fall off 3 or 4 more times during the video.lol

I buy any/all Sting figures from Mattel...but a surfer Sting, with multiple heads and varying degrees of paint wear, a cloth robe or a detailed entrance jacket that I can actually move his arms in! Bring it on!
