I do love that UE Hogan even though we are extremely limited on releases of this set and its already his third. The scans and the belt are great. But a Mr. T? I don't know. Looks like it would've been a fine elite to me. Total waste of an Ultimate Edition spot IMO. I hate it, actually. The rubber singlet with the straps is super cool on that Undertaker. I actually like the looks of that ciampa a lot now, too. How would they have gotten that Mr T in the elite line? He comes with a hat, soft goods shirt, a soft goods robe, gold chains, and workout bar. UE is the perfect spot for him. Otherwise they woulda had to make cuts. Make him a Ringside Exclusive. Then the niche collectors that want a Mr. T know where to go and they'll know they're gonna pay a few dollar premium for him. |

The taker with soft singlet is a game changer!
We need:
Perfect with straps down from the loser leaves wwf v flair on raw
Lawler who can take the straps down to fire up
Ditto bret

So are we gonna get Hardcore Kane re-released with the WCW belt to complete the Brothers of Destruction?

I guess it wouldn't be a true Mattel reveal if they didn't reveal figures with belts they never held. Both Steamboat and Undertaker never held those designs in their careers. okay    Okay. |

I thought Batista was the Legends Ultimate series? You can have a store exclusive and a regular release UE. Look at Hogan. He has 3 UE figs within about a year and one being an exclusive. |

Heβs a pop culture icon. I think very few, if any, non-wrestling fans would see this figure for sale and be interested. And plenty of wrestling fans aren't interested in Mr. T's legacy, either. He was a big part of the first Mania, I get that. But that is about where it ends. |

I feel like the pull down straps gimmick could have easily be done with a soft goods tank top. Similar to the one that came with the recent Hardy ultimate. Would look less bulky. I also feel like what they are giving us is going to break as I assume it will be the same material they use for the Cena upper arm bands.

A few of my Cena/Undisputed Era arm bands have broken while just being displayed. |

He has 3 UE figs within about a year and one being an exclusive.Β True, but it also seems like they have started to do sets where both figures go together. Be weird to do Batista and Bliss. I know they canβt do Wyatt, but maybe a Randy? |

Thereβs a leak that said Batista but that leak also said WM1 Hogan was Mr. America so they could be wrong. Not sure Batista getting two ultimate releases at the same time is realistic. |

Thereβs renders of both already, donβt see how they canβt be Batista is a Target exclusive and Alexa was just a grey render with no accessory Itβs possible but I think Alexa and someone else with Batista as the Legends UE |

I thought it was a nice little set of reveals today.
I'll get the Mr. T Ultimate, not sure on the Hogan ATM.
I wasn't planning on getting the new Steamboat, but the WCW TV title pushed me to change my mind. Nice to have some new titles coming.
I like the Mace and T-Bar figures too. I'm glad they come with unmasked heads and/or removable masks.
The Elite Scarlett looks cool too. Definitely going to get that figure.
I'm warming up to the RSC Ciampa too. It's gone to a "maybe" for me now. I'm probably going to pass on the RSC 'Taker though. I just wasn't a real big fan of that era of his character.
I can't wait to see what they show us tomorrow.

The UE hogan is awesome.
I just cancelled my other hogan I had on order.
The mr t is really good. Iβll have to buy that also.
I donβt want Ricky Steamboat but the wcw TV title is my favorite belt ever so I NEED it.
I would also like the wcw tag title with undertaker but I donβt want the figure.
