Nah it's probably that selfish Alex West Collects guy that is over buying for fix ups and customs. š Yep thatās me! My purchases are clearly effecting the whole supply chain. Not the fact this may be the greatest Hulk figure made š¤·š»āāļø Alex you rock! Keep up the great reviews! Hulk rules! |

Idk whoās Hogan obsession is worse. Alex or theman. š It's not that funny when you think that on pre orders he probably ordered about six, so even if there is alot to go around, it still leaves eager buyers having to get their pre orders a month late because people like him have to buy in bulk. I don't care that much really, it's his money, he can get as many as he wants. What annoys me a bit is when he shows off and makes videos and pictures of displaying ten of them together. It's a bit attention seeking to me. |

Who cares how many AlexWestCollects buys? Heās not buying to flip them heās buying them for his own collection. I can respect that. are these figures gonna be sold elsewhere or only ringside? They are up for pre order at other online toy stores. Seeing I missed PO one with RSC I went with Big Bad for these. |

35 years ago I was at the Worcester Centrum watching in joy and amazement as the Hulkster slammed Andre and then delivered the Atomic Leg Drop just before pinning him 1-2-3!
Man, 35 years. Sighā¦
Anyway, sorry to bump this thread solely in order to reminisce/geek out.
But as you can tell from my other posts, Iām so pumped for this figure!

The picture of Hogan in the box looks like a silver title belt. Anybody else think so? The pictures out of the box clearly look like a gold belt. Maybe the lighting is impacting the image?

Nope, not the lighting. I talked to Steve Ozer, at length, at Axxess. One question I asked him was the boxed silver Hogan '85 VS the loose gold belts & which we will get. He said gold was the proto, silver was the final decison, MAYBE they will do gold in the future if people make enough buzz. |

I believe the belt actually was silver so it makes sense they decided to go with that color. |

Sure, in my opinion the new Ultimate Edition 13 Hulkster figure blows away the Amazon Fan Takeover Hogan figure, but that doesnāt mean that I donāt get that old sour grapes feeling every now and then because I missed out on it.
However, pretty much every time I get that itch and I start looking at eBay for it, I recall how it just doesnāt work for me as an accurate depiction. For it to really work, Hulk needs the long red tights that he wore when he took on and pinned Yokozuna for the Heavyweight Championship. I mean, come on, over the decades, how many times have we seen the pics of Hulk holding the belt and posing with his black eye right after winning?
Anyway, thatās something Iāve been meaning to say for a while.
I had to comment on something after missing out on the first wave of orders for the Ultimate Edition.
Blasted 2nd pre-order waiting aroundā¦

Sighā¦ Anyway, sorry to bump this thread solely in order to reminisce/geek out. But as you can tell from my other posts, Iām so pumped for this figure! Yeah I saw WM3 twice. Once live at home and two weeks later in my elementary school auditorium. A stocky shorter kid, who was older than I, was sitting behind me was so excited during that match he decided to attack me and then left the auditorium. I proceeded to follow him and while he was bragging what he had done to his younger cousin I told him it was nothing he began to attack me again when I put him in a headlock and hip tossed him to the ground and pounced on him up until the security guard separated us. That was the best WM for over a decade and a half. |

The thought of some kid getting so excited he couldnāt control himself is hilarious, and the fact that your school had a showing of WM3 is fantastic! |

Iām in the pre-order 2 group as well, and nothing for me yet either. I ordered three from Ringside. I almost feel like I want a fourth. Iām not a ākeep in packageā collector, but this figure is just so cool. Itās not in stock anywhere, is it? Maybe theyāll offer some damaged packaging ones at Ringside. |
