The figure & whats included doesn’t justifies the price. Elites now come with extra hands & or heads, for $20. And the stomach bend/torso looks horrible. The line will be short lived. And if they aren’t sold in stores, that just adds another nail to the coffin.

I have no interest in buying any. That said, I fully expect Hollywood Hogan to be ultimate. If they took a poll of every collector a firmly believe that the two most sought after figs are Owen and Hollywood. They know people will pay, so if/when those figs are made they will be Ultimate, leaving me no choice but to buy them.

Wcw Warrior isn’t my fav era or look but this might be my favorite warrior figure. Honestly it has less to do with the articulation but the details on his jacket and attire that really make it stand out in a good way next/compared to the rest. Pics don’t do it justice. I definitely want a 2nd to display without the coat but only down the line at retail or a lower sale price.

They desperately need to use this line to make a proper 1998 Undertaker

Honestly, no disrespect to your collection but the UE is definitely the best looking Warrior there.

Rated [R] NinJaAgreed. That’s what I was saying. May not be my favorite warrior attire or era but it stands out as the best looking warrior figure Mattel has made despite a couple flaws.

I got Ronda two weeks ago and I like the figure and the packaging is awesome.
My dream waves Series 3 AJ Styles Ric Flair
Series 4 Asuka The Undertaker with 2 Heads (One regular and one with the eyes rolled back) and different hands)

I think they look ok, not really worth the price point for me considering the character selection. If they do a golden era Hogan, macho man, Piper, Jake the snake, Rick Rude or even an earlier warrior I would probably bite but until then I have zero interest.

Nakamura's gonna be $12 on Ringside by the end of the summer because those thing won't be moving very fast lol. Terrible lineup choice for a brand new premium line. they’ll probably throw him in free with purchases over 50

Ronda = eh Warrior = amazing Shinsuke = DUD Bret = amazing
Overall the line has so much potential only thing that I think will kill it is the superstar selections. Ronda I can understand why but I don’t think she’ll be moving well. Warrior always sells(unless it’s maniacs dm) Shinsuke is gonna rot I bet he’ll be at big lots

Don’t have Ronda but if I were to get a Ronda figure that’s by far the best looking one. Blows away elite 65. I’d be tempted to buy it for the right price. (under $30).
Yeah Nakamura may doom this line before it even gets rolling.
But present day is tough since everyone is a mid carder; probably should of done a Rollins or a Demon Finn if they hadn’t already burned everyone out on those. Maybe Jack the Ripper version?
Legends will sell because they are geared to the older collectors who can afford it.

MattelDesignTeam has to be hating the overwhelming negative response to Shinsuke.

Yeah problem with this line is that you can’t just re-release or repaint an existing elite and add a few accessories like they did with Stone Cold and Undertaker for the DM line when someone needed replacing.

Problem with Shinsuke is that he hasn't really had an outfit that warrants this treatment yet. Obviously, if they could reach beyond WWE, the obvious choice would be his WK9 gear, but anything unique he's had thus far has either been done, or is just too bland.

If he was over it wouldn’t matter. Every Roman looks exactly like the last and every one of his figures sells. MDT was banking on Nakamura’s popularity from Japan and NXT would carry over to the main roster but it didn’t.

I'm less tuned into the MR than I am NXT, so it's easy to forget that he's done a whole lot of nothing since getting called up.

Just got mine today and they look WAY better than I anticipated. When you open 'em up they also just feel sturdier, like there's some more quality to them. I'm awfully impressed.

I’ll pick up Nakamura and probably Ronda on a price drop eventually. If they never drop, I won’t be too beat up. Warrior and Bret are musts though.
These are supposed to hit retail at some point right? Is there any ballpark we’ve been given to when?
