Definitely not super excited to buy Alexa but I’ll order both Ultimate figures next week. Figured Fiend was the second figure since nothing had been mentioned beforehand. Hopefully he looks good.

I'll happily buy both of UE 12. Still working on getting a full set of Funhouse figures. Anything they give me Bray or Fiend related, I'll take. Just... leave the Ret-Conned Lilly-Alexa alone I have no need for her. As for the basics, unless Miz is in a suit, I'll pass. Well, Carmella would be a maybe if she's got her updated look, but I don't need her. If Miz is in a suit though, might buy a couple for customs. That said, why can't we get suited elites anymore? I think the last one we got was Legends Warrior? I'm begging you guys, throw us customizers a bone. One great suited main-line Elite. I swear, the sales from people buying 5 of them for customs will be worth the slot in the line. Give us a BAF that isn't a BAF. Sorry. Just a rant. I'm really tired of my suited figures all having basic articulation. BP46 Shane is a nice middle ground (and I've already got yet another in my shopping cart) but we need one like it with elite joints. Pretty please? For New Years?
Edit: No. I'm gonna be picky. Make it an AE Vince. THAT suited figure. Closed jacket, no tie. The figure will sell like hotcakes and you will make your money. Pretty pretty please.
Jakks made too many non wrestling attire figures, Mattel doesn’t make enough, ya can’t win |

Knew it would be Fiend when Batista was still the Target exclusive of doom. I’m not very excited for this set but I might get them if they look good. Otherwise bring on series 13 Was there any word on when that Batista would be showing up in Targets? |

I wonder if the Ultimate Fiend will be the proto shown before? If not, huge pass... If it's the Wrestlemania 37, I'll buy it

Both underwhelming figures for UE 12. I'll wait for pics on both and the inevitable pricing drop. I dont think this set sells that well unless they make it a short run for some reason.

Yikes... I can't see either of UE12 selling well. Hopefully they won't kill/hurt the line.

Time will tell how it sells but it’s definitely not going to kill the line. Alexa will sell because she has a fan base and hasn’t had a big release in a while. If Bray looks good, it’ll sell well enough. Not the greatest lineup but certainly not the worst. With UE 13, Batista, HBK and Goldberg on the horizon, we have plenty of life in the line.

Happy to see preorders for UE12 only because it means we're inching ever slowly towards 13.

Isn't there like 3 or 4 Wyatt/Fiend figs on RSC for like $5 why the hell would they make a more expensive version of a figure nobody is buying? I dont have any Bray or Fiend figures and still passed on the $5 ones. AND hes not even there anymore? Oof guys.

I love seeing people saying the the UE line is on its last leg. It’s honestly hilarious. It’s like they don’t realize figures take time to plan out and when this was planned the fiend - Alexa storyline was being prominently featured and looked to have longevity… just makes me laugh.
Although. The same people I saw whining and moaning on Instagram will be the very ones to buy it when it comes out 😂😂

The fact that Mattel is still making bray wyatt figures 5-6 months after his release shows you that there’s still a demand for bray wyatt and Vince made a huge mistake releasing him

Yet they're still making Bray figs all this time later after hes gone. Also its not like hes selling out like he was, especially when its the same damn attire more often than not with a minor tweak, his figures and Drew McIntyres are the only ones I ever see in stores on pegs still. Anyone who thinks he sells can hop on RSC right NOW and see all his cheap figures both basic and elite, both Bray and Fiend for under $10 |

The fact that Mattel is still making bray wyatt figures 5-6 months after his release shows you that there’s still a demand for bray wyatt and Vince made a huge mistake releasing him We are told that Mattel work on figures about a year before they reach stores, so they are probably still working through their plans from long before Wyatt was released. Mattel probably thought they were very safe planning multiple Wyatt figures given how over Fiend was and how much money that character was likely making for WWE. Mattel can’t predict Vince and his mysterious ways any more than the rest of us I think... |
