New Japan and completely unnecessary drama with business partners, name a better duo
It’s a shame, this line had potential, especially with New Japan USA and the forbidden door creating North American exposure for them

That is exciting news I am not anticipating a series 3 which is a shame as we really need a SANADA, KENTA and Jay White But actually getting Naito is super cool. Friend went to the SD store last year, said the employee detailed how awful working with NJPW is and series 3 is White, GOD, and Goto. I also doubt we get series 3. This cant have been a success for anyone. Awful in what way? |

Too much back and forth it how it sounded. I'm not shocked by it. |

Just got my email from super 7, series 2 are on the way. They have left the shipping port and on the way to the US. They sent some pictures too. To be honest naito looks awful lol. But it’s a poor pic.

Hello NJPW ULTIMATES! Wave 2 Pre-Order Customer -
After a barrage of head kick delays, New Japan Pro-Wrestling ULTIMATES! Wave 2 left the port on September 10th for its boat ride from the factory to the U.S.
We are happy to share these images of the pre-production samples of Evil, Bushi, Tetsuya Naito and Hiromu Takahashi figures! All four figures from Wave 2 are now on the water and ready to bring their trademark bone-crushing moves to your doorsteps as soon as they finish their journey across the ocean.

This cant have been a success for anyone. If the line isn't already dead, that lineup will do it...Tanga Loa and Horooki Goto before Ibushi, ZSJ, Kenta, Sanada, etc.? And why do 3/4 of Bullet Club and Goto? |

I CANNOT believe they sent those pictures out -- they look horrible but can't totally tell how much is the photos and how much the figs

What's going on with naito and evils giraffe necks, entrance gear surely can't be an excuse this time

100% not figures I'm excited to have. Big mistake on my end ordering direct. I'm glad I didn't preorder this set like I did the 1st set. Tomohiro Ishii is one of my favorite figures I own, but I don't think these figures are worth the price. I was hoping the neck issue would be fixed in this wave, instead it looks like it got worse. My series 1 Tanahashi & Will Ospready have neck issues. This set look like all of the neck issue them except, maybe Hiromu. I think I'm gonna buy everyone in the 2nd set except EVIL, I'm just not a big enough fan of his to spend $45 on this figure. (Or $44 each if you buy the whole set) I want a Hiromu & Bushi figure and these don't look bad based off that photo, so I'll buy these at minimum. I don't like how Naito looks, but if I don't buy this figure, who knows how long it will be until we get another official Naito figure. (It would be nice if RSC could get NJPW limited exclusive figures, even if it's just repaints of existing figures with different colored gear or maybe different heads.) Hopefully future photos will make these figures look better. I hope we get a 3rd set, I'd ideally want Kota Ibushi, Minoru Suzuko, Tiger Mask & SANADA. I want to support NJPW, I think there is a market for action figure of their wrestlers, it just seems like they partnered with the wrong company. |

As we all know, the figs from S1 were lightyears better than any photo. So that shouldn't be an issue. The neck however is. Luckily, if you own a dremmel, it's fixable. My Ospreay sits nice and snug on the neck. I guess I'll be doing that again for this lot.

I’m excited for them. They look about how I expected and series 1 grew on me.
What I’m not thrilled about is Takahashi’s lack of accessories (specifically Daryl). Super7 had hinted it was in the works but it looks like just hands and a jacket.

Are those the final accessories they come with? I thought that Naito was suppose to come with 2 championships. Also Hiromu not coming with Daryl in end is kind of disappointing.

Wow, this line has went from MUST HAVE when it was announced to a place where I just cancelled my whole wave order and just ordered Naito...and from the look of it, I'm not super happy with him. Really hoping the belts are just missing from the pics and not from the figures.

Just a heads up, guys - we haven't shown EVERY accessory yet, but you're gonna be STOKED OUT when we do! And it looks like the only thing they added was the can for Bushi... and took away the 2 belts with Naito, but I could be wrong. |
