Finally another cool Eddie. Yet it’s a store exclusive. SMH. Pretty disappointed in the 2 pack HHH w/ Chyna. That HHH isn’t anything special looking. Chyna looks great. I agree on HHH, what bothers me is the muscle leg mold they used. That's my only gripe. I think the head is a good one to reuse. |

Some nice looking figures but nothing I want. Hopefully there is something I want before they are done with updates on Monday. What are you looking for? Legit question. People from 205 Live or the return of the retro line. Noam Dar is my #1 want. |

I really like the reveals today! Viscera looks good I hope to see a Big Daddy V down the line. The Fiend looks amazingly good can't wait to get it, Elite Matt Riddle looks good I hope he comes with a jacket to complete his entrance look, I did not expect an elite Drake Maverick to be shown at all so I'm happy we are getting one. I am excited for Hulk Hogan being back in the line and we are finally getting a HollyWood Hulk Hogan from Mattel and I like the tease of the butterfly joints. If done properly it would add even more articulation that would definitely benefit posing. Hopefully it looks and functions good so it can be apart of the rest of the UE figures. The Edge heads figure is awesome I will be buying three for sure.
My most excited figure shown today has to be that Ultimate Warrior figure! I have wanted a figure of that look for awhile now and to finally be getting it is just amazing. I hope to get a jacket for it to complete the look of that moment.

I had a blast watching the video this morning. I personally liked the presentation way better this way. I don't understand the hate for Ryder and Hawkins, I really don't. I thought maybe I did from the complaints but then I listened some and watched these videos and they're fine. What worked for me was how hyped they were for it, even if it didn't all feel completely sincere I at least know that they really love the product. I've sat through enough Sweaty Bill Q&A videos to say I'll take this a thousand times over.
Billy Graham and Hollywood Hogan made me poop a dook. I ran to my wife in another room when they showed Hogan, demanded a high five and explained much later what I wanted the high five for.

Guys entitled to an opinion. I get it. It doesn't bother me that much but I do get it. In fact, just the inability to stick to a particular size for an era is an ongoing issue they have. Flashback Rocks with brick ####house torsos and modern Rocks with the small one for instance. But it doesn't make me go nuclear simply because I've collected Marvel Legends for like a decade and a half. I'm used to toy companies favoring size and bulk over accuracy (Machine Man ML springs to mind with his striated chest, abs, and bulging veins considering I never saw artists like Kirby, McDonnell, Miller, Windsor-Smith, or any other notable artists who have drawn him give him cuts like that).

Overall pleased to see what they put out..
Is it me or does the Fiends torso look a bit off. And make it a brighter red on the pants and boots.
I dont mind snake, rude and hammer being chase variants but for the love of god I wouldve much rather chases or Billy Graham, Razor and Eddie. Choosing which to make chases was the only mistake on that series.
And personally think that older warrior figure isnt needed. 95% of collectors/customizors will swap the head onto a figure body and make his last match attire. I know Rude is in a different set so that's excusable
Finally they're getting over Hogans comments and making his figures, UE Hollywood cant wait for but now I can compare to the storm collectibles Hollywood i have.
Riddle, maverick I'll get, and compression shorts triple H lol.
The Edge figure with Hawkins and Ryder heads, would have been 1000 times better if u made it a 3 pack where edge was in his purple camo and put both Hawkins and Ryder in the elite 1 edge body. Still might buy it so I can make the Major Brothers. Btw I think the Ryder head looks like shannon Moore

I want Mattel to go full steam with Hulk Hogan like they did with Warrior and Savage. It seemed like we were getting new Savages and Warriors 3-6 per year.

I had a blast watching the video this morning. I personally liked the presentation way better this way. Agreed - I felt the whole video reveal was a very successful way to do things; certainly preferable to waiting to see social-media photos of displays on some show-floor on social media. Not everything can be revealed at panels like at SDCC, so videos like these feel like the next best thing. Sure Ryder was over-the-top and Hawkins maybe a little wooden to start with, but the fun of it all really added in my view, particularly with such a strong line-up of reveals. Hell, I’m only really interested in Retros but even I was in awe of the sheer quality of the work on display  |

These aren't all final pics but renders. Look at Paul Orndorff, you really thing his face is gonna look like that when it releases lol Be patient....and wait for the final product reveal to see how they really look when they are released. you rang??  I know that’s a render but Orndorff reminds me of a character in GoldenEye007 Same head sculpt as the previous figs. |

I know I'll be getting 2 of Superstar Graham...both looks are equally iconic and wouldn't want to leave one out in my display.

So many cool reveals for day 1.
Definitely getting these:
- Eddie Guerrero
- Kane
- Edge
- Big Show
- Razor Ramon
- Matt Riddle
If i can find it cheap enough one day, i might get the Red tights Snake to use for Benoit legs.
The annoying thing about it though, is 5/6 of those are Exclusives, 4/6 are Store Exclusives... Meaning they're going to cost me at least $70 USD ($115 AUD) each on Ebay.
The only two i'll be able to get for regular price are Riddle & Edge from Ringside. Wish Ringside would carry these other lines too, make life a bit easier for the international collectors.
If it comes down to it, the only one i MIGHT pay a higher price for is Eddie, since that exact Eddie is one i've wanted for years now.

Hoping for a 2001 era Kurt to be shown over the next few days. It’s crazy to me how many great outfits Kurt had in his prime and we’ve gotten far more modern Kurts than prime Kurts.

Already have the Chyna and Triple H 2 pack on order but will pickup Viscera, NOD Mark Henry and probably the DOD Undertaker and Hollywood Hogan. Question to Mattel why do you insist giving Undertaker always the same headscan for that era? Also why couldn't the 2 pack Triple H have a new headscan? There’s a tooling budget. Tooling went elsewhere. Chyna was completely new tooling. Just has to be balanced. Makes sense but if you do release anymore grey gloved Undertakers could you please re-tool another headscan. One with his hair covering his face would be ideal.. |

Seriously. The second release of this Kane and we still can’t have the mask on with a goatee. I won’t even worry with them leaving the knee pads out again. I'm right there with you about having a mask molded to the head, but I'm willing to wait and see on this one. I think it could work. I am hoping so. But there was plenty other reveals that more than made up for this this so I’ll let em slide |
