Was doing some browsing and came across pictures of this Ultimate Warrior  and it hit me, that I don't recall ever seeing this figure in stores. I don't even remember the announcement. It's not readily available in the after-market. what happened to it? |

There was a point where there were several of those on eBay and never for like, an insane price. I think the highest I saw was $65 or so but it seems like the only ones on there now are $100 more than that.
Cool figure, though.

It was a Target exclusive released around Oct 2018. Almost nobody found it in stores and goes for like $150 on ebay now.

It came out in stores, the whole set did. The only difference is the belt color was changed to white. Not sure why it is hard to come by now, though.

I got the other three (Paul Bearer and New Age Outlaws) from that set on 1/10/19 from Target's site but never saw Warrior in stock. Sucks, but not much I can do so I just shrug it off. I refuse to pay crazy prices for every Warrior and Savage figure I miss out on. Thank god the WrestleMania XII Warrior wasn't a Target exclusive.

That set definitely came and went quickly. Stores in my area got multiple restocks, but the case would be gone in a day. I think people underestimate just how many non-collectors end up buying sets released around the holidays.
It's a really good figure, and that wave was solid across the board. I ended up finding a bunch of Road Dogg on clearance for $10 right after the holidays when the line was killed.

That Hall of Champions set seems to have gotten similar treatment that Wal-Mart's Flashback Series 3 did. The line was already canceled by the time it was released. Like Flashback 3, I don't think as many figures were produced as the previous sets. I personally only saw this set once in stores.

I always thought this attire was cool, although I can’t remember him ever actually wearing it. Always reminded me of the Seattle Seahawks, but I have no idea if that’s what he was going for.

We need to see this head reused again. I am pretty shocked it has only seen 1 release.

I really liked this Warrior's hair style. I hope we get another one with a different attire though

I saw this and others in stores at the time, but I didn't buy it. In hindsight, I wish I did given the unique head scan.

I happened to check the Target near me one day before I really got into collecting and there this one was sitting there. Grabbed it and still have it. Love the figure.

This might axtually be my favorite Warrior figure. When did he carry the white winged eagle?

Thank god the WrestleMania XII Warrior wasn't a Target exclusive. i saw the Outlaws and Bearer multiple times in stores. I got Outlaws for myself actually on clearance I think, and i regretfully passed on Bearer....but i never saw this Warrior, really strange to be honest. I legitimately forgot it existed or was supposed to exist |

I got all of these and sadly had to return the Gunn and Bearer because of bad face prints and never found them again. Should’ve kept Billy but didn’t know at the time.

They should have used something similar to this head / hairstyle for the upcoming 1996 Warrior Ringside Exclusive. I came across that figure a few times at target when it was released.

Even though the "Champions" tag limited the figures that could be released in the line, it was one of my favorites. The backdrop insert was cool and even the basic 2-packs were good.
