I really don't get the love for the Ultimate Edition HHH... I mean its not that it's a bad figure, i just dont think it needed to be in this line - should have been a regular elite. I just dont see this as being the same value as Warrior and Bret when you compare accessories. Also it's pretty plain overall a DX HHH green tights with robe would have been awesome.
Balor is a bit better but I'll probably pass as it's very similar to the elites I already have.
A shame as I was really feeling good about this line having just got Warrior and being ready to buy Bret.
Hoping for any of the below in Wave 4:
Shawn Michaels with entrance gear
Undertaker WM14 with robe/cloak
Macho Man with Oh Yeah Jacket.l
Surfer sting with fabric coat ala 1st DM Macho
Triple H DX with robe
Poss Hogan but already have some nice customs

And Mattel really hasn't done much of them. I think the best they've done like that is the Walmart Flashback from the Heartbreak Hotel set. And that one didn't have the chaps even. Also could add a biker hat, and/or shades, and hopefully of higher quality than the ones that were with the elite. |

Man that UE Bálor is awesome! I guess that’ll be my first UE figure purchase.

Will these Ghostbusters figures be the first wrestling figures to come with guns? Nope:

I called them putting the hHh in the Ultimate Line ... 🤬kers ... Cash grab city on such a simple attire. Oh well, on the good side ... at least it wasn’t a basic. So far : Elites : E70 - Vince McMahon E?? - Gerald Brisco Basics : B100 - Shawn Michaels B100 - Shawn Michaels (Chase) Ultimate Edition : Triple H (hHh) Finn Balor (Demon) Same for me, minus Balor.

If I was going to nitpick anything about that Triple H it would be I wish his left leg was taped up like the ‘00 Royal Rumble NYC Street Fight. But the figure is fantastic as it is. Yes. That, along with a knee brace on the right leg, would be perfect. |

Glad to see Basics looking a lot better and the Battle packs having accessories again.

So far I'm eyeing up:
80s Vince
The Stooges
UE Triple H
Basic 100 HBK and Undertaker
Constable Corbin and Drake Maverick
The list will probably be more populated after today

OK So here is my little critique, I only collect the women wrestlers, so i will focus on them
I honestly cannot tell if that Asuka is Elite or not, I mean from the Acessories, i would say she is. however, it also looks like Elite is losing the Arm Articulation, cause it doesnt look like she has any. Sad no robe. but we have not had an Asuka in at least two or three years, so this is a welcome
Sarah Logan, interesting she is Basic, when Liv is Elite. But because it takes so long for figures to come out, already completely out dated.
IIconics Two pack. Not bad. Billie looks a lot better then her first proto from when she was in the NXT line. Should sell well, however, so used to Payton with Light hair
Zelina, At least they got the scale right, i figured her first figure would not be in ring gear, but i dig it regardless.
really hoping for some new protos. maybe Beth Phoenix, Kari Sane, Lacy Evans, Maybe a Charley Caruso. Also hoping we see Wendi finally get a release, Maybe because of the rumble and Evolution we get some flashbacks of Kelly Kelly, Torrie Wilson, Eve Torres, and a new Lita

Elites just Vince and Briscoe for me so far. Asuka if she has her robe still. Triple h and Balor huh? Not my first choices but both look nice. I would prefer trips as an elite but I will still grab probably.

I'm interested in the Vince but something seems off about it.

Cool to see a 80's Vince announcer and Brisco. Liv Morgan's figure looks awesome! I dig the purple Ghostbusters Taker figure. Pretty neat. Great basics of Logan, Zelina and the Iconics
