I have them all so far except Amazon rock . Rock was a big L for me also. My one want to be honest.
It's a shame on Amazon and Mattel though. They see the demand and yet no more orders.
To be fair I feel most of these figures shouldn't be ultimates. Did we need or want a Rousey? It is interesting that many of them have gone up on prices in the secondary market, signalling to me not many were made to meet the demand. I wonder if they are doing NECA strategy with these, where they purposely short the stock, to create a sense of value?

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 agree the torso's look bad and now with the added butterfly joints look even more bad. The elite torso's for me are still the best imo. |

I only have Becky (x2) and Ronda (x3). I need to get Charlotte, Stone Cold and S10 Rock next.

The refusal to commit to actually improving the articulation is what makes me a little salty. They still use Elite legs and crotch pieces which is where they could pick up so much more posability if they tried. Look at GI Joe classified series legs. $20 and they're basically a copy of the old figuarts leg style with drop down hips. Look at Jazwares AEW with the ball jointed waist and torso rockers. All I'm saying is despite adding joints in other places if they can't change the core you still can't get the maximum amount of great poses from them. So they're not so much "ultimate" as they are simply "better" editions.

I’ve got Austin, Fiend, Hollywood, Brock, Nakamura, Rousey, Triple H & Warrior. I used to have HBK, but ended up selling it as I never loved the figure and it was too good of an offer. I mostly love the line, wish I never cancelled my Amazon Rock (never expected it to be impossible to get), and I’m looking to get Flair eventually as well as some of the upcoming figures. Not sure how I feel about them seemingly going more Legends focused on that last series and future ones, but it’s still the best line Mattel is producing to me

I wound up getting Rousey first. They knocked it out of the park with that figure, in my opinion. All of the female Ultimates look outstanding.
I wound up getting HBK (I love that entrance gear), 08' Cena, Charlotte, Hollywood Hogan, Amazon Rock, and Edge.
The male torso bothers me, aside from the larger superstars like Lesnar and Hogan... but as long as they have a shirt of some type, it's fine.

I passed on this line until I managed to get Bret for a decent price. Now I'm really kicking myself for not picking up Warrior and HBK.

So disappointed that it ended up being WM9 Hogan...Nitro debut was such a better option.

Ronda may seem like an odd choice now but when these figures went into production she was one of the hottest names in the business which is why her first elite and ultimate were fast tracked into production. |
