Does the head band that came with with Survivor Series Hogan fit on the Ultimate heads? Want to try and make the Ultimate a bit more 1990/91 Hogan. I just tried this. I had to use the plastic thing that came with the new UE on the headband but if you use that you can get the summerslam one on. If you wanna see it I have a picture if you pm me your email.

My set was supposed to be here yesterday but is now “arriving late” with no new delivery date. Which, in my experience, usually means lost/stolen and never getting delivered. USPS is the worst.

I couldn’t take the waiting any longer, so this morning I went to the Post Office Depot before it even opened. I saw a couple of red and yellow tents set up off to the side of the parking lot, so when I was finally let in, I enquired as to what was going on. It turns out some guys had taken a few days off from work in order to await the arrival of their packages.
After I informed the clerks that I wouldn’t tolerate any such shenanigans, I departed the depot and went over to the tent area. Sure enough, the guys had also received false delivery updates for their packages, and they wanted to be on hand for the arrival of that day’s shipment.
While I was talking to them, some other fellow arrived on the scene and said “You guys waiting for your Hogans too?” He gestured toward his car and said he had a couple of extras in the trunk. A bidding war immediately ensued between the two tent folk, and it began to get heated, so I made my exit before it escalated to something out of control.
Still this for me: “Your item arrived at our USPS facility on May 21, 2022 at 12:42 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination.”

Got mine today...I'm not sure a red and yellow hulk can ever top the nwo hulk UE as far as my favorites go but man, this one gives that a run for it's money. This is one of the best figures Mattel has ever made in my opinion. Yeah, it's definitely up there with the very best... I've actually not seen ANY complaints about it(!?). Can't wait to get mine. Only complaint is that the torso could have been a little thicker, like the 80s Hogan Elites, but otherwise it's perfect.

Just checked the tracking, and I was happy to see an update stating that it arrived at the Postal Hub and is going to be delivered tomorrow. So maybe it wasn’t due to be delivered to me yesterday after all. 🙄
In the meantime, I pulled out my old 16” Hulkster for fun/to tide me over.

Incredible figure! I’m having issues getting the headband to stay. It was not attached in the box. Anyone else having a similar issue?

Mine came with a very small clear stretchy plastic thing...they use big ones to hold figures in place in the box, those things, except mine came with a very small one around his head holding the bandana on. Not sure what those things are called lol

Have to say, big fan of figures going up for preorder, you have a chance to order them, and then you get them when they come in. Simple and clean.

Got my three in today. These are a blast. My final poses were post-victory bow and arrow flex with smiling head (shirtless w/belt), shirt tearing with wild eyes expression, and finally Hulk standing in the “Superman hands on hips” pose. I was able to use the bandana from the Basic WrestleMania Hulk figure that came out recently. I put it on the wild-eyed portrait. It goes great with it. I haven’t posted pics on a website in a long time. What’s the best (in other words, easiest and free!) way to post pics? I may as well show you guys how they came out!

Is Mr. T actually the same height as Hogan? Mattel is normally great with scale so that would be surprising.

Thanks for posting. Great pics! I can’t get my Hollywood to hold the belt. I am going to try that pose and see if That will work for me.

I thought so. Hogan was 6'7" and Mr. T was 5'10" He shouldn't be anywhere close to Hogan's height.
