Dear Boss,
Please give this figure the correct torso like the Tru exclusive elite.

Since Balor wears the same ring gear all the time, they'd naturally rather make Demons.
They've made them all more or less so they can finally go backwards and make some NXT versions that were never made.
NICE! Can't wait.
Also want a TakeOver: The End elite. Basic was cool, but wouldn't mind an elite.

I’m thinking this is Ultimate Edition... makes sense, Bill has a hard on for everything NXT/Japan. It’s makes sense...
My guess is series 3 UE is Balor & Hollywood Hogan.

Coincidental timing as Bálor was interviewed on WF Pod last week and mentioned this attire not having a figure yet. He also said he really like the “The End” attire but hated the basic figure of it. I’d like to see that in elite form as well.

I might be in the minority, but I find it to be one of his worst looks and found the entire getup to be super cheesy. The back paint wasn't nearly as cool as any of his others and the little hat and cape were just kinda goofy. Not trying to be negative though, I'm glad it's coming for those who want it and honestly I don't even know what other look they'd go for besides the all black and white paint, so it makes sense they'd do this next. I actually agree 100%. I was thinking the same exact thing. It's pretty cheesy, tbh. More for kids, hardcore collectors, or hardcore Finn Balor fans. That's it. However, it it looks awesome for an elite then maybe I'll grab it.

Not too sure about Hogan, yet. I heard Mattel still cant make figures of him. Not sure why, but hopefully soon. As for UE series 3, I'd say Finn and Macho Man, or if it's true then I heard The Rock will be the next legend in the UE line. Hope thats not true at all because I cant stand figures of The Rock and John Cena. But I am with you on the Hogan. I would LOVE an UE of him. And I prefer an early 80s Hogan. Maybe American Made Hogan or 1985ish with his red shirt or, my biggest want, Hogan in his white shirt.

Aren’t kids and hardcore collectors like nearly the entire market?

I have a sneaking suspicion that Mattel have been keeping the whole Hogan deal under wraps - and they'll surprise everyone and show 2 or 3 new Hogans at the SDCC. And I would think the first new Hogan figure we get (or see) has to be Hollywood... it's been a long time coming(!).

Aren’t kids and hardcore collectors like nearly the entire market? Not really. I'm more of a casual collector. I only buy ones that I really want unless it's something on clearance, retro line, or anything macho man. Otherwise I'm pretty picky about which ones I buy. Mostly Chase and Exclusives. Most people I know who collwct are casual collectors. Except for one, it's actually a girl, she buys every single Elite that exists.

I think Hogan will be the big reveal at SDCC. Slim Jim Macho is amazing, and honestly, if that’s all we got - it would okay. But Hogan has to be coming soon doesn’t he? We all know WWE likes money and Hogan would make an amazing UE (Hollywood to go opposite Warrior)

If you’re picky about what you collect then it is what it is, you do your thing and that’s cool. Perhaps what you said didn’t come out the way you actually meant it, but a Demon Bálor figure targeting kids, hardcore collectors, and Bálor fans is exactly what it’s supposed to do. That’s a huge percentage of collectors. They will be bought, especially this particular one that has been asked for countless times over by collectors.

I was agreeing with what screech said about how it was goofy. My opinion is that on a figure it would look more childish than in real life. More like a Marvel figure. That might be your thing, but it's not mine. Besides, you basically just confirmed what I said- that it's targeted towards heavy collectors and children. We all have our personal opinions, well that's mine.

I love Demon figures(still need the EG) and will buy them all to support my fellow county Wicklow native but Id LOVE this Ripper gimmick.
Also yes....the gimmick has been frustrating on the main roster.....but so has the booking of Balor.
