I couldn't imagine getting excited for this - especially when I already have the previous elites. That is not really ultimate worthy at all. |

i wish they never put that attire up for the vote. like....yes it was an "iconic" moment, but like its been overdone. we get it, warrior in orange. 2-belts. ok.
dude had a helluva career with so many amazing attires. but the people that vote for these things dont vote based on the figure, they vote based on the moment.

Exactly this. This should have not been an option for the vote given that they have not really improved anything about it beyond the elite, itβs just an Ultimate conversion. Even more annoying is one of the other choices would have lent itself perfectly to having two heads as he changed his face paint up at that SS |

Had this been its first release it would have been fine, especially if it would have been the first opportunity to get the yellow IC title. Realistically, the ultimate edition line for Warrior should include attires when he wore a duster. It seems special figures are the only way to get attires with dusters. Summer Slam 1991 would have been an excellent choice for this line. Though the Survivor Series option would have been better, having two faces with two different paint designs wouldn't have been accurate. He wore different trunks in the two matches he had that night. |

I think it was more than three, because thereβs been two or three basics in this attire as well. |

Though the Survivor Series option would have been better, having two faces with two different paint designs wouldn't have been accurate. He wore different trunks in the two matches he had that night. The yellow IC title is another good point to bring up. When the poll went up we had no knowledge that the yellow IC belt was going to be included in the RR elite. And I agree. Given how deco-heavy Warrior is, it's almost completely insane to not prioritise his duster attires for these Ultimates. Whether it was another WCW figure, a 1996 figure, or if they wanted to revisit an already released figure, Summerslam 1992 or Wrestlemania 7 as there are legitimate improvements to be made to those. It's disappointing, because I predominantly collect Warrior. We've had almost a year without anything actually new to add to his massive lineup of amazing attires but we've had a load of Macho, Bret, Hogan etc in that time (not that we shouldn't, those guys are great, but Warrior's been neglected lately IMO). |

Has anyone outside of the US (or North America generally) had their Warrior shipped yet? Iβm seeing a few others outside the US posting about still waiting, so makes me wonder if they are prioritising US or Amazon Prime customers to hit promised delivery dates or something? Mine has yet to ship, but Iβm calm about it as things stand. I'm in Canada and both of my Warriors have shipped |

I think only 2 elites have been done in this attire. Legends and that one off Legends set they did |

We got the elite around 10 years ago and it didn't really need an update. At least with Warrior you could argue the Legends one was flawed with inaccurate belt design and the legs(on mine at least) made it very difficult to stand. The lost legends one was better but didn't include both belts. I think this one is the superior of the three. |

I think this attire deserves the ultimate treatment. It was definitely the best choice out of the 3 options. It was the execution that is disappointing. It either shoulda been post match first without the chest paint or prematch with a brand new head with the big hair.

I've voiced my displeasure for this release before. It's a lazy release. I bought one. I'm planning to customize it to recreate the holding up both belts moment. But I shouldn't have to.
Could have done his pre match promo hair. Could have made the post match hair more accurate and sweat drenched. Could have had some kind of swappable chest or left off the chest paint. Just lazy so mattel could spend more time on the Goon.

And when I voted for it, I expected a vastly different product than the elite. New head sculpts some kind of different pose or sculpting. |
