I’ll probably pick up Hart & Warrior due to my love for those guys but I’ll definitely be waiting on a price drop.

I got the warrior just because it was the only warrior figure I have been waiting for I might get bret. but honestly I really don't like the torso and the extra toe Articulation is completely pointless. I do like the extra hands and head but I would just prefer the regular elites with extra heads and hands. the price IMO is to much for the ultimate edition for the packaging and toe Articulation and ugly torso I can do without

WCW Warrior was unimpressive, but this figure is pretty sweet. The duster helps to hide the torso difference from regular elites, and the other aspects that make it an ultimate edition make no difference to me as just display loose. IMO the detail on the figure and duster make it worth the price.

Finally got around to opening my UE Warrior. It is a really nice figure, IMO. As others have said, the detail is great. I didn't have a real strong connection with this particular era of Warrior's career, and I wasn't planning to get this figure initially, but I'm glad I did. In person, the new torso articulation doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.
I just got the Ronda figure yesterday, and haven't opened it yet. At first glance, I think it looks much better than the proto pics looked. The neck doesn't seem as long.
I do want to get the Hart figure, but I'm still on the fence with Nakamura.

Im wondering why they made a Shinsuke Nakamura in the first place. The Basics are barely selling, same with his Elites. They all look exactly the same. No one wants 10 Nakamura's in their collection that look identical. They should have taken this opportunity to do someone that everyone might want. Like a Jeff Hardy with 1 face paint head and 1 without. I'd even take a female wrestler over Shinsuke, like Shayna Baszler or Nikki Cross. I have zero complaints for the Warrior and Bret Hart. I'm planning on getting both, but will probably wait for retail where they will be cheaper. Almost $40 for 1 figure is too much imo. I can get 2 nice Elites at the same price.

Bill pooped the bed by choosing Nakamura. He wouldn't have even worked in the Orient Express. The guy is enhancement talent

I always assumed he was just part of a team and either they all decide on who to make or maybe just send ideas and recommendations up the ladder. If it is mainly Bill who is in charge of who to make for figures then he really needs to think all of this through a little more. Because 75% of the basics he chooses are awful. Such as Series 99 and another Shinsuke that looks identical to all the others. The Becky Lynch looks awful, and Rey Mysterio is okay. Probably the only one I would buy. What he needs to do is make more legends that either haven't been made or don't have many figures. Maybe some more exclusives and better chase figures. Instead of just changing the color of the attire then maybe change the attire altogether. Whatever. All I know is that some things really need to change and the Nakamura, Cena, Reigns, Rollins, and Styles figures need to slow tf down. I cant even tell you how many of their figures are clogging up the pegs and most pikely delaying them getting more.

How about another Rick Martel???

How about another Rick Martel??? It does seem odd... why can't they just release them as chase figures (like with Backlund/Sherri/Patterson)? I mean, if they can release a Pat Patterson figure, then surely they can release guys like Superstar and The Hammer too. (...and Wendi Richter...)

Since when is Greg Valentine under a legends deal?! Did he recently sign a deal because at last year's Comic Con it was mentioned during an online Q&A that Steve did that Valentine was not signed (nor was Martel for that matter, who is another want of mine as well). It sad that they don't want to make figures of 2 of the greats of wrestling, no Graham or Valentine devalues Mattel's line IMO as far as legends go.
As for Billy Graham, I think there might be 2 possible reasons why they have not released a figure of him yet: 1- They cannot decide which version (70s or 80s) to make
2- WWE won't approve it due to Graham constantly running his mouth and making negative comments about WWE and the current product.
I don't think finding a spot in the line for him is a problem, he will get the same spot that Sherri & Backlund got- Walmart exclusive add-on to the main line.

My thoughts exactly. I think a Greg Valentine Rhythm & Blues version would be amazing. Maybe even make one of Honky Tonk Man to go with it.

These have grown on me a little, I've not ordered them yet but the more I see them the more I'm kind of thinking I might get one. I hope for future lines they continue to release 2 superstars from each and keep them legends/modern day spilt. I would want them to continue to use females for sure, I could certainly see an Asuka, Charlotte and Sasha in this line. Even a Kairi Sane would look great. If I had the power, I would release it this way:
Series 3 - Macho Man & Kairi Sane Series 4 - Edge & Finn Balor Series 5 - Undertaker & Kofi Kingston

Sorry to bump a second page thread. But just ordered 2 Bret’s a minute ago while I had a moment at work (I’ve had a lot of moments, this has been a mercifully slow day at the office) and it looks BEAUTIFUL! This is a figure that needs to be picked up twice and that’s if you are going to do it LOOSE! Once With the jacket and glasses on with the open hands giving the kinda “So what now guys?” Expression. And one to display Mid-post match. Very few figures it seems with Mattel COMMAND you to do that with a certain figure. This and the Ultimate Warrior from this sub-line seem to do JUST that. These can’t come in stock soon enough.
