Ordered a Triple H MOC off Mercari for $23 and was so pleased when it got here that I spent another $20 and got Finn Balor ordered. Most of the regular Mattel Elites just weren’t doing it for me, I wanted more figure and detail for my money and I feel like I got it. Packaging is cool and feels like a collectible.
With Super 7 and AEW and also those incredible Lucha Figures from Boss Fight, aside from Ultimate Edition, I feel like Mattel is going to have to step their game up for my money.

I think I've been making a mistake by keeping all of my UE figures MOC. Might buy an extra random one just to play around with and see the new articulation first hand.

I just got the UE HHH in the mail, and I'm absolutely loving it. It doesn't have the same "wow factor" that Bret and Warrior did for me, but it's still a really fun figure. They absolutely nailed the heads.
I completely agree about Mattel having more competition for my dollars. I'm sure I'll still be collecting quite a bit, but I see my Mattel buying falling back considerably. I'm happy with the design work overall, but the lineup and attire selection leave something to be desired for me.

Only bought Warrior since I generally do not like the torsos on these. Thankfully the duster hides it well. I may get Bret but the hair on all of the included heads is such a turnoff.

It is an amazing figure. Looks really good displayed next to Epic Moments Steph.

My favorite Ultimate figure TBH. It encapsulates perhaps the best period of Triple H's career and the accessories put it over the top. You feel like you're getting your money's worth

Took me a bit until I was sold on the UE figs but I now have them all plus preordered UE 5.

Not really a fan of the UE torsos, but Triple H with that chain link shirt to cover it up looks amazing.

I’ve got Shawn and Bret and I’m a big fan of both. Honestly, the biggest let downs are the HBK heads and even those aren’t as bad as people make them out to be. As far as the torsos, I don’t think they look any worse than the regular elite torso tbh.

You feel like you're getting your money's worth seriously are you saying worth the money only new heads and a molded chain shirt is what's new with the figure rest everything is repainted or even less painted than Ultimate Warrior UE. |

I love the Ultimate line and that Triple H was first figure in two years (now I have 30+). The heads just look incredible on all of them and I love the new torsos personally, especially on Rousey and Lesnar, and the entrance attires are great

If I were limited to just one Triple H in my collection, this would be the best bang for the buck. I'm not bothered by reuse potential, you get a lot of things with this figure to where it is the ultimate Triple H. If you're not a fan that's fair enough, but subjectively it's my favorite Ultimate, though HBK would be up there if his heads were better. |

It is just an opinion but I can agree on one thing that UE triple h has the best headscans for Hunter. My only grip is torso rest the figure is amazing. What if instead of Hammer and bottle accessories the figure comes with jeans and jacket soft goods? Happy for you though, keep collecting. |

Ultimates aren't continuing in the UK, likely due to customs issues brought about by Covid and likely retailer disinterest. The line itself is still continuing at least through 2021 as it's been consistently selling in the US. Even Nakamura flew off shelves locally. |

I’ve enjoyed the line from day one and I recall many trashing the line. It’s def a step up in articulation and accessories. It’s nice to be able to not have to literally wrestle the rubber jackets off again for people like Ronda and Bret. I have everyone they’ve released so far minus Brock
