A double series killer. Still see ronda everywhere I go. She's a bigger star then Becky by miles.

Wouldve loved to see an AJ Styles with an alternate short hair head Surprised we STILL have never gotten a short hair retro AJ saying it's a "WCW attire". I just want a mattel TNA-era AJ really badly.

I just want a mattel TNA-era AJ really badly. I dont like AJ Styles with long hair and DMX-ripoff entrance theme, so I havent bought any of his WWE merchandise. Air Raid AJ Styles is the closest Mattel can get away with making a TNA era AJ.

This whole line is a major flop. Only ones i havent seen at retail is Ultimate Warrior and Hart. All the othes are peg warming hard

Not getting all the hate on these to be honest. I like both for what they are, toys. I’m not sure who everyone would rather they choose, guys like flair, savage, taker will be made in time.

This is an interesting choice to me. In my opinion there are much better suited people/attires for this set. I guess they may continue to make them but I have to say also in my local Smyths there are more Ultimate Edition then anything else Rowsey, Nakaruma and Bret Hart so this is set really selling well?
This set should be about the most elaborate attires/entrance gear - for example I would have preferred Charlotte from Wrestlemania 35 (that was a beautiful entrance gear), Asuka has had so pretty cool gear as well I would to see in the line. Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, The Undertaker and Edge should all make it in this line if it does continue.

Not gonna comment on Becky, cause it was already known she was gonna be in UE5
1. Why did Cena replace Flair? Wonder what happened
2. With all the other wrestlers people wanted, did Cena need an Ultimate this early (already has 50 million other figs /sarcasm)? I guess you could say the same about UE4 Brock too
With all the availability issues going on with the other figs, I have been able to find UE series pretty easily (and actually found some at retail). I’d hate for the series to get canned, but if it does at least we finally did get a 99/00 HHH and Montreal HBK

6 series now so far and nothing for me Right?! I don't care about modern folks, so I'll exclude them, but here's how Mattel has managed to destroy yet another legends line: - Ultimate Warrior - meh not a bad start, but chipped paint scan was pretty crummy and WM12 would have been a better starting point instead of WCW
- Bret Hart - dear Lord, that hair (and scan) saved me $30
- HHH - Ok, decent scan, but not a fan of that attire
- HBK - Some of the worst HBK scans to date!
And now they have abandoned legends from the line?! Incredible.

I'd genuinely like to know who Mattel thinks the audience is for this line, and how the existing lineup selection fits with that model.
At $30, you're looking pretty exclusively at the adult collector market, and even then it probably needs to be something high demand or special. HHH and Warrior fit that bill. HBK, Finn, and Hart have been solid figures. But female elites struggle to sell at $30. And Nakamura has been a consistent peg warmer since his first two figures. Yet they're easy home runs like Savage, Sting, etc.
I don't think it's purely coincidental that Mattel's lineup choices are constantly crapped on, and then lineups magically get cancelled after 2-3 waves.
