I have been waiting for this figure since CS. They did it as LJN-style, but never like this. This is incredible! I love the main head, the entrance gear, the attire, the white boots, the chest hair detail, the tattoo...man, they did this look justice. It really exudes Shawn Michaels circa mid-90s. Yeah, I'm sure everyone remembers that time in the mid- 90's, when Michaels dyed his hair to this reddy-brown colour, they ruined the first ultimate - and several other HBK's with. Far from ruined, but you'd think they'd check the formula out by now and realize the hair color is off. |

This figure is giving me anxiety! Haha This is legit a holy grail figure for me and the thought of missing out on a random, unannounced preorder puts me in a bit of a panic. Hopefully I'm able to score two of them so I can throw a MOC one on the wall with the rest of my HBKs. Agreed I'm dying to know when this thing is going live. If it gets sold out in seconds I'll be crushed!!! Fingers crossed! I'm terrified of this. Hogan is still going for no less than 60 bucks on Ebay and Warrior is closer to 80. I'll be furious if I can't get my hands on one of these bad boys. |

I’m surprised people like the second sculpt considering that it’s a retooled version of the first UE. I don’t mind the inaccurate hair color because I could easily repaint it. I’m still not a fan of the smiling sculpt, it still looks off. |

I believe just those two if I’m not mistaken. I think it’s mystery that the WM 30 HBK has never been retooled. It’s the best Shawn Michaels scan Mattel has to this date. |

I saw someone on here do a fix-up of the 2 UE Shawn heads and they looked fantastic... wish I could find it(!).

Messing up the first time? Ok it happens, but to continue to do so blows my mind |

I’m not sure how to tag my pictures here. Smiling sculpt looked better, but there’s still something off about that scan. At certain angles it looks like Shawn. |

This is an excellent figure and one I will be searching for. However, I’m a little confused and clearly missed this info - where will this line be available? Is it a store exclusive line?

I’m really excited to order this on Amazon (for regular price) only to have the order randomly canceled and end up paying triple on eBay.

This is a beautiful looking figure and perhaps the definitive HBK figure ever made. To know that this will be available only through yet another Amazon debacle and the inevitable shitshow is seriously disappointing.
But hey, at least Cardona will get one.

This is easily the figure I'm most looking forward to,really hope this isn't impossible to get. All the Amazon Ultimates has been pretty easily obtainable so far for me,so hopefully this won't be any different.
