I got Austin today and it’s really good. The new heads are good. I only wish they did something different with the vest.

No Line is going to be perfect. We will get everything from most desired gems to hard passes and everything in between. Enjoy what you like, ignore what you don’t.

I got back in when Hogan and Fiend started hitting
So far I bought: Hogan, Rock, Cena, Lesnar, Finn and Shinsuke then doubles of the first two
Most of them are good. Wish Hitman, HHH and HBK weren’t so much money. Those I would go back and get if I could get any at retail

I’ve only bought 3 ultimates so far. Bret Hart at retail just to see what they were all about. Decent figure but 3 awful heads. Bought Hollywood Hogan and really like the figure. My Austin should be coming within the week. Overall, I like them but I’m going to be very selective with who I get. Mattel just needs to figure out a better looking chest piece. The current ultimate chest/torso look aesthetically awful.

I've got Ultimate Rock, HHH, Hogan and Ultimate Warrior. I have Austin coming but hope Mattel release both WM14 Undertaker and Kane. 👍

At this point, even though I'm beyond pleased with the Ultimate Cena and Rocky I have, I'm tempted to buy one of each from U10 just to keep MOC and resell down the line.
Mind you, I'm not a reseller at all and, due to my never selling anything on ebay ever (except a pair of fridge filters 10 years ago) I know I wouldn't get the best price on them. But considering just how insane the prices got on their first ultimates, it might be worth it.
The question is, do I want to stoop that low and become one of the scalpers that I hate so much...

I was against buying these at first. I saw Bret plenty of times, and couldn’t justify buying it (I was never a fan of the semen splattered attire, and the heads are still way off). I was never a Warrior fan, and I don’t really care much about the current roster overall. I thought it was a lost cause after the Shawn heads were some of the worst I’ve ever seen, but I got HHH off of Amazon to see what the hubbub was about, and also because that’s my favorite HHH incarnation. Of course I really don’t care that much for it because of the lower torso, as it reminds me of the Jakks finishing move figs, and looks terrible (IMO). It just reinforced my sentiment that the line isn’t worth the extra money.
For some reason I got Brock (of all people, as I had an Elite that I was more than satisfied with, basically in the same attire) off of ringside during one of the sales. This kind of sold me because I LOVE it. It’s one of my favorite figs, and caused me to sell the Elite Brock that I never thought I’d replace. Since then I’ve gotten Hogan, Fiend, Macho, Edge, and preordered Austin, Flair, Cena, and Rock. I’m not going to buy every single one from now on, and I saw some easy passes (if the leaks are to be believed), but these turned out way better overall than I expected. Definitely not a perfect line, I have some gripes about some of the figs, and others like the Fiend I don’t really care for at all, but as long as the proportions and parts are relatively accurate they usually turn out good to excellent.

I just buy the ones I'm interested in. I have Ronda, Warrior, Bret, Macho, Edge, Hogan, Flair, Austin, Charlotte, Cena, Becky, and Fiend. I never saw Shawn or Brock and they didn't seem readily available online even. I might have picked those up. I skipped the other ones.

Flair and Austin are some of the best figures mattel has ever put out. Hell, the Rock is up there too

Love a positive post like this. I think the UEs look amazing

So far, I've bought: Warrior (Recently sold) Bret HHH (Torso swapped with Elite) Brock HBK Becky (Soon to be sold) Cena 2008 (x2, One used for custom) Charlotte (Soon to be sold) Rocky 1999 Fiend Hogan (x2, One used for custom) Edge (Swapped legs with E83) Macho Flair (x2, One to display with robe + one to display without robe) Austin (Fixed up with bigger arms and legs) Cena 2006 Rocky 2013 And these are the custom Ultimates I've made: STING '96 WM III HULK HOGAN So I think it's fair to say this is my favourite line to collect.  |

Got em all except for “The Man”. This line is without a doubt the pinnacle point for this Mattel x WWE collaboration. I’m really glad we finally got figures with the butterfly joints. Yes, the torso is a step in the wrong direction but I can definitely live with it all things considered. Thank you MattelDesignTeam |

They’re not my bag. I just don’t like the torso. The only one I would get is Hollywood Hogan and that’s only because I don’t expect a mainline Hollywood. But I can’t find him anywhere for retail price.

I regret not getting the Brock Lesnar Ultimate. By the time I convinced myself to add it to my collection it was gone from RC. I was expecting it to be released in Elite form.
Like many others I also regret not getting the Shawn Michaels Ultimate.
The reason why I didn't was because I didn't know how long this line would last.

I got Triple H, Hollywood, and the Fiend. I like them, and deeply regret not picking up Becky and Bret. You liive and learn.
