The only people I've been looking forward to in this line were Bret, Flair and Savage. No Flair coming is a damn shame and a shot to the heart.
I actually think Ultimate Nakker is one of Mattel's best releases.

Cena looks great
Becky's scan... Those faces are... YIKES. They have to be a joke.

I'm keeping mine MOC so far, but for the people that display them loose or play with them I can understand your frustration.
I don't want to give up on the line yet as there are still plenty of top names to release. I have a suspicious feeling that if Hollywood Hogan gets made this is where he'll appear. Just a guess though.

I have seen Bret Ponce in store. Never seen HHH, never seen Warrior. Nakamura, Balor and Rousey plague the shelves in Canada

Two problems I have with this series: - Cena apparently replaced Flair (who they originally hinted would be in this series with Becky) as the flashback figure. I was really looking forward to a Flair. Any flashback collector other than kids really want another Cena?
- The Becky really isn’t that unique in terms of attire. I would have preferred her sleeveless shirt instead and one of the heads being her braided hair.

In Heenan voice from the 1992 Royal Rumble: “It’s not fair to Flair!”

THIS LINE IS DEAD ON ITS FEET.
once again absolutely baffling choices with regards to who they are making. You're charging $29.99 ($39.99 here in the UK) for a supposed ULTIMATE figure. You're putting nakamura in it...becky lynch in it...brock lesnar in it.
Then they wonder why they shelf warm and lines die.
You either knock figures out the park with amazing head scans and attires or you may as well stop now. Those becky heads are a joke. The Michaels heads are a joke.
Mattels constantly infuriating and crazy decisions are the reason nearly every new line they bring out lasts a few series then DIE.

Flair was pulled last minute due to contract issues and replaced by Cena. That's a shame I was really looking forward to ultimate Flair.

Everybody running these WWE Mattel figures needs to see this posted on their office wall.

I’ll reserve further judgment on Becky until the final product, but I don’t think what’s on display looks nearly as bad as some think. I would like to get it, so we’ll see what happens when the time comes, but now with AEW product to look forward to maybe I’ll just not even worry about the UE line. I was only planning to get those who I’m truly big fans of anyway, so thus far I only have Finn.

Yeah I’m getting that Cena. Mainly because it’s an RA figure but it looks decent enough all things considered.

I watched John Cena wrestle for the first time when I was 7 years old. The other week I bought alcohol. So yeah, some of us want retro Cena’s.

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 Yeah... I do like the figure, but would definitely have preferred a Flair, Macho, Sting etc. over another Cena (especially as Cena also has 2 other new Elites coming out soon too). Still, hopefully it will keep the line healthy...

For me I think the Cena is ok as I collect from 1986-2008. Just hope series 6 has either 98 Undertaker or 06/07 Edge or 2002 Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
Don’t collect modern but I’m sure people are happy with the Becky

I'll be honest, I was hoping an ultimate edition Cena would be around 06-08 so I'm not complaining. Just wish we'd get an elite with the green shorts eventually l The WM34 heritage elite based off of WM23

I don't have a Cena because I was waiting for this attire.

Cena has been proven to sell. It’s a smart move on their part. Becky in the other hand, is a complete mistake

I've decided I'm only collecting ultimates active 90-99
So warrior, Bret, HBK and HHH thus far
Hope the line continues and arguably that cena could be seen as a legend but not really for me

Let me start off by saying, I’m a huge fan of this line and would be very disappointed if it was to ever be canceled
what’s with all the hate for this line? Seriously?
It gave us a perfect 10/10 ring gear Rousey
A really good warrior
I will admit Bret’s head and hair shape was a little odd, but the scan it’s self was near perfect, and that attire....2nd to none
Shinsuke.....ok that was bad
They gave us the long awaited game triple h, really decent figure, didn’t care for the true FX beard on it, but a very well put together figure and something we have been wanting for a loooong time
Finn......blah
Brock lesnar, couldn’t ask for a better figure, honestly, it’s my pick for figure of the year, I know it’s early but it will be hard to beat this one 10/10
HBK let me say first off, I love this figure, are the scans bad, yes, are they as bad in person, no, but then again Mattel never really could get his likeness other than WM 14, but the ring gear, accessories, parts choice, all near flawless
Sorry for the long message, but I’m very vocal about this line because I want it to stay, most of you hate it because of the price tag, look, if I have to pay a extra $10 to get the figures I want with the gear and accessories I want, why not, it’s a extra $10 well used, my opinion to all the haters of this line is this, stop being so cheap, give the line a try, check out this Brock lesnar, it will change your prospective.

Guys like Taker, Savage, Edge, Hogan are slam dunks for this line and will for sure sell. Walk into your local Target and you’re for sure to find multiple Nakamuras. Puzzling omissions and choices. That Becky Lynch would have worked just fine in the regular Elite line
