I just started buying these for the accessories. Does the green M$M clothing fit Basics/Elites? Sorry, lazy and not trying to swift through 50+ pages. Too small unfortunately. I don't know if you have or have tried to do it with Honky Tonk Man's jumper but it's basically the same thing

I think Shango's cape looks fine on the Elite, was curious about any others.

I got Mankind and Papa Shango today, so I'm all caught up for now. Definitely my favorite line at the moment. With the Masters of the WWE Universe line, we have quite the collection in this style. Especially when you get doubles of your favorites, lol. 1000% lol

Does anyone know how the DiBiase suit fits on an elite? I was thinking of buying a second one for the suit - if it looks good.

Saw a few Hogans for $7.99 at Burlington a few weeks ago. If you have one of those in your area it might be worth a check.

I'm getting antsy waiting for series 4. It Feels like it's been 9 months, but I know it's only been like 3 since series 3 was released lol
I kind of hope they just release 4 and 5 together since two of the characters are in both series anyway

A lot of the same lots keep getting relisted on the bay. Clearly asking over what people are willing to pay

What ring do people think these figures go best with? I currently have three rings: Greyskull (which is scaled to these but a bit too themed), Ultimate New Gen (which will be too big), and Retro (which will be too small I think?).

The best ring for these is the classic mattel steel cage ring that came with Elite warrior and rude (I think)

Without the decals, makes a great classic ring which is cheaper than the Hall of Fame ring mentioned above. There are a few listed on EBAY for around $100 or also on Walmart for around $65 www.walmart.com/ip/WWE-Wrestling-Superstar-Rings-Tribute-To-The-Troops-Ring-Action-Figure-Playset/47622183?athbdg=L1100

These things are warming the shelves at my Walmart IMO, because the people who want them already have them. Walmart has done an objectively bad job at getting this product to market. Scalpers and 3rd Party retailers have had all of these figures for months. When they first release at a hefty markup, most are content to wait for Walmart to release at retail. But after waiting five months for your pre-orders only for them to get cancelled, that extra $10 for instant gratification seems like a fair trade. I've had Walmart cancel my preorders on Superstars figures that my local store had an abundance of in stock! As you said, they can send them to their stores to warm shelves no problem, but fulfill online orders of the people who ordered them months ago? That seems entirely too much to ask of possibly the richest corporation in the United States. I think most people make the effort to support the line at retail, but the retailer is making it almost impossible.

Problem is also shipping a case of 5 of the same person. Assuming each store gets on average 2 cases I don’t think this line is popular enough to sell 10 Ultimate Warrior, Taker, Flair, etc figs. Hopefully shipping the anchor figs in back to back waves in the same case with the rest of the figs in that series will remedy that problem.

This line is all over the place with distribution, ive seen hogan flair, bray and honky hit hard and disappear then restock and sit for ages.
Ive never seen hbk, nash or hall. Then warrior and taker hit hard, and now just sit there after restocks.
Shango, m$m, mankind didn’t hit hard but no sell through.
Locally my store has 6 or 8 pegs of these full of taker warrior shango m$m and mankind. I was going to buy some for the cloth goods but seeing most say they wont fit elites has put that on the back burner. I may still get a shango for the cape if it gets clearance.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm genuinely curious as to why you say that. Wouldn't that basically cause the same problems with the pegs being clogged up? When I first heard they were doing the main figures in back to back waves all I could picture was the pegs being loaded with Macho Man and Rock figures for months, similar to how Undertaker and Warrior are now..

Because they’ll be shipping less. Right now every Walmart on average are getting 2 cases of the anchors and 2 cases of everyone else. So normally wave 4 woulda been 6 Mr T, 4 Typhone, 10 Macho, 10 Rock on the pegs. Now, assuming they’re packed 2,2,1,1 and they order 2 cases you have 4 Rock, 4 Macho, 2 Typhoon, 2 T.

There was another version of that ring that came without figures (I think), that had Warrior and Hogan on the packaging. All versions seem expensive on eBay but I found a used lot for about $50 with a bunch of figures that included that ring but not the cage.
