Last night I was actually figure hunting for liv and brisco but stumbled upon the ultimate series warrior. When it first was announced I thought it looked pretty cool and planned on getting it. But then once the proto pics came out it just looked weird to me with the torso change. After seeing it in the store I stared it down for like 5 mins haha couldn't leave the store without it. After taking it out of the box my opinions have completely changed for the ultimate editions. They really aren't that bad, they definitely look way better in person. I know some like them and some hate them but for those who hate them, maybe wait until you see one in person before making a conclusion like I did. Glad I didn't miss out on this figure.

I dont mind the new torso. Mattel also uses a similar one on some of their DC Multiverse figures.

I don’t get all the fuss about the torsos honestly. One of the best Warrior figs

The Elite King Mabel has the same torso that the Ultimate Edition figures too.
I don't mind it, they sit on a shelf and collect dust anyhow for my eyes only to see, so it is no big deal to me.

I didn’t like it, I bought a hitman to give it a try....I still don’t like it. 😐

I’ve stated this before, it’s not the styling of the torso that’s bad. It’s just how Mattel executed it, they need to retool it to look wider around the mid ab section. Storm collectibles did it right.

I just got my 1st Ultimate figures too (HHH and Bret).
I'll say the double jointed elbow needs to be used in the regular elite line.
As far as the torso goes, it never really bothered me, so when I finally got it in person, it looked much better than I expected.

I don't love the torso, but I also never thought that a giant hinge in the middle of the figure looked all that great. The Warrior quickly became one of my favorite figures, and they nailed the execution. I can't wait to grab the Bret and Shawn as well.

When they first got announced I was really excited, but from pics of them MOC I wasn’t a fan but I said to myself wait till you see them in person. My opinion completely changed once I had them in hand, I think they look amazing. Originally I was only gonna get the legends, but after about 5 minutes I walked out with Bret and ordered red Warrior straight away. Last week I went and got Nakamura & Ronda. Now I can’t wait for series 3!

As an MOC Elite collector I’m still not sure if I want to keep any UE I get as MOC or open them up. I only want to buy UE of those who are truly my favorite wrestlers (or if they make something too good to pass up), so thus far I only have Bálor. Originally I didn’t really like how they looked MOC, but it’s better in person.

I collect MOC as well but these are too good to leave all in package. I've been 2 each of the legends and one of the others to keep MOC. Planning on opening the legends and keeping the second one MOC. I'm most excited to see the Ric Flair.

I hope I'll be alive to see HBK haha those head scans can possibly replace RSE DX HBK and E19. |

Expecting Ric to reuse the Nakamura torso, which is probably my least favorite of the ones they’ve used so far. That robe he’s sure to come with will probably stay on indefinitely on my shelf.

Series 5 is the Man and the Man trademarked. |

UE Warrior is an excellent figure. I've wanted a WCW Warrior for ages...when it came? It sure didn't disappoint.

I picked up series 2 yesterday. Shocked at how much I love the Nakamura. Both figures look great on display with their jackets.
The torsos do look like garbage to me though. I probably won't pick up any UE figured again unless they have entrance jackets
