So basically you are paying an extra $10 for 2 extra head scans and an extra set of hands? Any regular elite Rock could come with a belt, mic, and shirt. Why no track suit or corporate rock outfit? Not worth 30 bucks + tax. Smh.
The head is the most expensive part of the figure (it costs the most to produce) and here you are getting 2 extra, I think 30 bucks is a steal. Here in Canada, Ultimate Edition figures sell for $40 so consider yourself lucky.
This is a great looking figure and IMO is one of the few in this line that lives up to the 'ultimate' moniker even though the name is just a marketing term just like Defining Moments was.
$40 CAD is $30 USD

Yep! Couldn't have said it better myself. Was really hoping we'd see the Brahma Bull title but damn, that's a huge missed opportunity especially for the price point that these figures are at. Although the figure is cool, it's hard to justify the price point when the value isn't always there. Some UE figures have been amazing and others have been whiffs. I'm really worried about the Charlotte figure. Most of my local stores still have a bunch of Rhondas & Nakamuras. I doubt Flair would move better than those. Maybe I'm over-anxious about it because I want 7 to do well so more stores carry 8. I NEED that Hogan. 7? Hell, I still haven't seen 4 at retail yet. I have a feeling this series is going to wind up going online only.

When I look at that Charlotte proto, I'm reminded of how much I hate her big fake vaneers and how she yell talks. I love her big fake ........oh wait never mind.

Cool shirt, comes with a belt, some nice extra hands, great “Peoples” eyebrow head scan & that’s it. And why is this an UE figure? Matter of fact since the start of this line, all the figures could’ve just been placed in the regular elite line.
I may just get it (I’m a fan of the Rock) & cause I can actually hide the ugly torso with the shirt. If I can help it, I won’t be paying retail for it & no big deal if I can’t get it for less then retail.

This figure works for me. When I think of The Rock, this is the look I think of. And some softgoods track pants might have put this over the top, but I'm happy with it as is.
For me the extra heads have been a huge plus. I've used the heads from Bret and HHH to upgrade other figures. The added articulation I could take or leave.

I think I still have a pair of Jakks ones around here somewhere. Might see if those will work on this figure.

Not entirely sure, but YouTube and Instagram both are most likely. AFA said this in the Q&A thread: Reveals start Wednesday and run through Monday. New images will go live each day at 11 AM EST except Thursday where they’ll go live after the panel.

When I had put the Basic 100 Rock head on the Walmart exclusive Elite body, I said, "I'll never buy another Rock from this era". I lied. I really like the eyebrow scan and the Just Bring It and.

It's almost perfect. Definitely could have used the track pants or the $500 shirt and slacks like he used to wear. And maybe a closed eyes "smelling what he's cooking" head, but overall I'm satisfied with the release.
Hope they do replace the logo on the mic though.

They released the network logo mic with elite 31 Hollywood Rock to.

From what I've heard, WWE can be weird with letting Mattel use older logos. It's why the European title that came with the X-Pac released after the logo change had nothing on it. I think we might be stuck with this mic.
I hope we're not, though.

I'm probably going to get this. I am still bitter about missing UE Cena, I'm not missing out on this one.
The only thing I'm concerned about is are we getting the folded hands or not. The proto shows just one folded hand (the one on the figure), with none shown beside it, but the render shows two. Are we getting two folded hands, one, or none? Just wondering because I'm definitely posing the figure with the "Just Bring It" hand.

This figure looks badass! I never picked up any classic attitude era elite Rock figures so this will be my first. I like all the headscans and the new hand sculpt. I'm looking at the picture and I don't know if it's just the angle but I don't see the toe articulation so I hope it is still there and they didn't remove it. Other than that I will definitely get this figure.
Also the torso came out great!
