Austin just seems a tad stretched out in almost every proportion. Would be interested in the accessories but not the figure itself. Flair definitely worth a second for the robe.

Man, when will Mattel ditch the swivel joint on the lower torso and get with the ball socket?

That Austin headscan is the best one Mattel have ever done and actually looks like him.
I'm still not digging the torso or the way the chest looks due to the addition of the butterfly joints. The chest looks really unnatural.
I can't stand the look of pins on figures either. They look really cheap and ugly aesthetically.

Is that Flair attire associated with a certain event?

Not a fan of Austin after being excited to see protos. I don’t know why Mattel has this idea that Austin was skinnier than his opponents but he wasn’t. He was a thick boy. But Mattel once again gives him the skinny legs and a new but odd-shaped torso that looks to be skinnier than most other ultimates (which is weird since their “Stunning” Steve and “Ringmaster” figures used thicker legs which made the figures look 100x better).
Until Mattel revamps Austin with better pieces I’m done buying Stone Cold figures.

Is it just me or does Austin look really strange? Like his arms are too long or something? I keep getting like Jakks finishing moves style vibes and I don’t know why. First time I might pass on a UE line, I thought I was gonna at least get Austin but I’m not sold. Giraffe neck. Skinny legs. Odd chest shape to accommodate the butterfly joints. Torso also skinnier than most other (if not all) ultimates since Mattel has this idea that Austin was super skinny for some reason. Complete fail of a figure, especially at the ultimate price point. The only positives I see from this figure are the headsculpts which look good. |

Both look pretty insanely good, I love how Flair matches with Charlotte's Ultimate.
I don't need either right now but both will be mine at some point.

Hell yeah!! Pre-ordered two Austins and one Flair. Super stoked for that blue Big Eagle re-release.

Austin is a bit boring as expected. Chain is all wrong and with all the different shirts & vests he's had they still pump out the same ones. The cloth robe for Flair is what should be with all these Ultimates. I get they're trying to match it with the Charlotte, but I wish it was a different color that we got. We've seen this in basic form. They look good. Just was hoping for something different.

Austin is everything I wanted it to be. Plus the blue strap championship!? Easiest purchase in a long while.

Steve with pointer hands? Since he can’t have middle finger hands, why even include hands that aren’t relevant. Steve looks like an S.H Figuart. Just oddly proportioned.
Yet again the UE line fails at delivering at what makes this line an extra $10. Both these figures could’ve been in the regular elite line. Great cash grab though.

Instant PO for me. The Austin is far from perfect, but I think it'll look better in-hand just like The Rock. Flair is exceptional, but please pull those  ing kneepads down Mattel!  |
