This wave is pretty neat, but how does the Ultimate Warrior end up with the wrong head? He should have the L6 hair, that's a pretty easy distinction to make. They have reused way too many Warrior heads inappropriately in this line imo. The UE from 98 needed new hair, and so does the upcoming RSC figure from 96. His figures aren't looking accurate and a lot of it is just silly oversight that could be avoided. A major want of mine is better hair for Warrior. The two heads and hairs they've used the most (Legends 4 and 6) must not be interchangeable. Otherwise there's no excuse for Mattel not doing it at least once yet. |

At first I was more a fan of this Warrior. But I’m warming up to the RSC one a little more now. Either way, both would have really benefited from a screaming head. If I come across this one I won’t be able to leave it.
I’m gonna wait for the Ultimate, but finally they do a new elite Austin. It’s been a long time coming. The Legends series 1 is in dire need of an upgrade. Maybe I’ll get this and just keep it in box since Austin is my favorite and I have a mini collection dedicated to him displayed

I used the head from the basic 97 or 98 warrior which is just a basic version of the royal rumble elite and it looks great.

They’re slated for display next week but if you call your local targets they will sell it to you guys now since there’s no street date for the set

This entire figure is basically a re-hash of Basic 98 Warrior, except with a sleepy face and a yellow belt. Ok and maybe they added more articulation to the tassles of all things. Unless you really that yellow belt, like deep in your soul, this figure is a pass - and I say that as a massive Warrior fan who has most of his figures. |

That is true but its a welcome addition for me since i despise basics but i have given in to a few that i like. What really bummed me out is they reused the boots and feet from the basic which is kind of crappy in my opinion instead of tooling up elite style cowboy boots. |

It looks like there is more black paint around his eyes on the basic, at least from the pictures I've seen. |

Basic 98 is one of the best looking Warriors (or Basics period) in my opinion. It came out really awesome. |

Only one I haven’t found is Titus. Seen more Umaga than Austin (only the one I bought) which shocks me

Hopefully Warriors hair is somewhat easily swappable, ugh the L6 head was right there.

The basic 98 honestly looks to be from SNME while the RR is more accurate to RR90.... face paint wise that is |

Honestly this Warrior is one of his best figures. The one, the WCW, & WM12 are probably his 3 best (not counting Legends 8)

Has anyone found the royal rumble elites anywhere near Houston or in Texas ? My scouts between Dallas and Austin have had zero luck so far. Any luck? |

This set, Mattel and targets are a joke. All my targets are only getting 1-2 in at a time and they are in repack boxes with other toys. I go to target the day they get them in and the employees can never find them. Really frustrating, and when you do find any they have the greater odds of the boxes having damage since they are already reboxed which sucks for MOC collectors like me. Just another reason why I’m getting close to being done collecting. More hassle than it’s worth as of late.
